Her father is a scumbag and so is Belinda Stronach. In an explosive development leading up to Thursday's dramatic budget vote, Conservative MP Belinda Stronach has crossed the floor to join the Liberal Party as the new Human Resources Development Minister. Prime Minister Paul Martin said he met with Ms. Stronach at 24 Sussex Drive Monday evening and the decision was made. "I'm proud to have Belinda Stronach as part of my team," Mr. Martin said. He said together, they decided she would be more comfortable serving within the Liberal caucus. Ms. Stronach said she struggled mightily with the decision. "I found myself at a crossroads," she said, adding that she has become uncomfortable with the direction that Conservative Leader Stephen Harper has been taking. She takes over from Lucienne Robillard who had been HRDC minister and national campaign co-chair. The unexpected news boosts the Liberal seat count and could alter the outcome of Thursday's budget vote. Ms. Stronach, who ran for the Tory leadership a year ago, represents the Ontario riding of Newmarket-Aurora. She had served as international trade critic for the Conservatives.
