Crossing the floor, I wonder what else Belinda Stronach could do? She already said she favours abortion rights for women, and she has no problems with Gay Marriage. She has a hick for a leader, who is scaring the socialist pants off Ontario, and who is now agreeing to pay for all of Paul Martin's proposals. Paul Martin is spending Millions of dollars a day everywhere except Ontario, and Ontario is going to have to pay for most of it. So she can hang out with this looney who seems to have no personality, and isn't advancing any ideas of his own and is going to push for an election he cannot win so he can satisfy the religious zealots who put him into the leadership, or she can walk across the floor, hold her nose and have a chance of making some kind of difference. With the Conservatives, she was always going to be powerless, always going to be on the outside, and when the religious end of the conservatives started their war on Abortion, she was going to have to cross the floor anyway.

Harper did this to himself, Belinda, as he said today had no future in the Conservatives, so why is he devastated? He told his wife it was going to happen, or so he says, so why was he so surprised? Harper lies almost as much as Paul Martin. Why wasn't he man enough to say, "I was completely blindsided by this, I had no idea she was thinking of leaving, and if she had come to me maybe we could have worked on the things that were bothering her. We are a democratic party and we pride ourselves on having a diversity of opinion. I am sorry she has left, and we will work hard to replace her before the next election."
Instead he lied through his teeth, and looks like a fool.
