hanging up her skates, cleats, and dog collar

Revving it up for Hockey Night in Canada.
smooooooooth............




Yikes!

The Princess of Auto Parts, our national puck bunny, Belinda is heading home. No more cross dressing er...........I mean floor crossing.........no more political leadership romps across the country in a blue/red/blue/red Belinda bus. No more cold showers needed for old political hacks.

After 3 bizarre years of spray painting the political landscape with l'air du temps stink, Peter's squeeze tease is picking up her tiara, chucking her multi-coloured rah rah sticks, passing the "get women out to run for office" baton onto someone else, and assuming her inherent role of Princess Magna.

She wants to "spend more time with her children."

I have swamp land for sale in the Everglades.

I wonder how long it will take to appoint Mr. Domi to the Board of Directors.


Well...............at least she managed to get a bunch of nets purchased to ward off malaria. That's a good thing.

It must be very difficult to phathom the living a life of getting everything and anything or anyone you want, whenever you snap your manicured fingers but not be able to succeed in your life dream of running the country.

Instead, she will be a tiny blip on the political map.




Without ever having run for office, made a coherent speech, learned how to speak both official languages, complete any post-secondary studies or MAKE HER BLONDE MIND up which party she wanted to jump into bed with, Belinda will now assume the role of Executive Vice of a Multi-billion dollar international company. Ooooooo, I'd feel REAL secure if I had stock in that company.

Geesh..........

See ya at the local rink, Belinda.

I'm laughing too.......out of relief!
Belinda Stronach, whose father owns Magna International, a huge auto parts company, jumped into the national political foray a few years ago when the two right wing political parties merged (according to the fairy tale, Belinda was the mediator behind the merge, ahem.....). This was a huge undertaking, as the two parties had basically split the vote and the country, and had no power to run against the Liberal party.

Once that took place, she then decided to run for leader of this new conservative party in Canada, without a day of campaigning experience.
Initially, she was portrayed as the second coming by the media, by the old Tory hacks who couldn't get over her looks, and by women who were just relieved to see a female on the national level whom seemed to have some chutzpah.
This is when I first had the privilege of seeing her for the first time at a speech rally in town when she was running for the Leadership. Her speech was appalling. The woman was way out of her league.....couldn't string a passionate string of words together, and more importantly didn't seem to grasp the issues of the day. and yet........during this rally, I had grown men who had been involved in the party approach me with this glazed look in their eyes waxing poetic about how impressive she was, comparing her to previous leaders who could blow the roof off any stuffy convention hall with a barn burning speech.
It was bizarre.

Luckily she lost. Stephen Harper won the leadership and subsequently went on to become our PM last year with a minority.

In the meantime, Belinda began a snoggle fest with Peter McKay, another Leader wannabe who took too many rugby hits to the head, but is now our Minister of External Affairs. They were a happy power couple before the election as this new party tried to find their footing.
One night, after several meetings with the political enemy, PM Paul Martin, our ambitious Belinda who had never been liked her new boss Stephen Harper made a deal with the Liberals, left Peter McKay without even an email kiss off letter, and crossed the floor to become a member of the Liberal party under the auspices of "not being in synch with party policy....blah dee blah"
So, with one swoop she had dumped McKay (second in command) who hightailed it home to Nova Scotia for a couple of days of licking his wounds (all in front of the media) and left Harper with egg on his face just before an important confidence vote.
So................in the last election she ended up on the losing team.......
Somewhere in the past year, word got out that she was snogging a hockey player named Ty Domi. Ty is a scrapper little hockey player who took too many head hits to the boards ( a theme of sorts I guess). The media grabbed hold of this, because well.............it appeared that perhaps Belinda had been the siren who broke up Domi's marriage. Her name made it into the divorce papers.
hmmmmm..........what else?

she SERIOUSLY considered running for leader of the Liberal Party two years after running for the Conservatives.....

she bought some mosquito nets

she had lunch with Bill Clinton many times......hello Hilary?

she tried to create this persona of the person who was going to lure more women into politics.

she changed her hair colour

Hey SPINKS!! Can you shed anymore light??

oooowhhooooo that was fun to write.

All I can add is thank God she never managed to become our Prime Minister.
