Stronach could be looking at Lib leadership

Re: "Stronach jumps ship to Libs," (The Hill Times, electronic story, updated, May 17). This is a case of the chickens coming home to roost. It seems patently obvious that Belinda Stronach is interested in one thing: becoming the leader of a significant Canadian political party. Since the Conservative Party currently has a young leadership, her chances there are minuscule. But the Liberal Party has an aging leader who is somewhat tainted by scandal. It's a no-brainer; obviously Belinda is heading for the Liberal Party.
