Selfish and Opportunistic! Do you think she really did this with the best interests of Canadians in mind! Don't think so!
I always doubted her motivation to run for the Conservatives, given that Magna is a hugh beneficiary of the protectionist measures in the Auto Pact, which runs contrary to Conservative doctrine.
Unfortunately, I think Joe Public in Ontario will applaud her move.
For the Conservatives, they MUST be of a mind that they can pull a majority government in an election, if it is called. Otherwise, why would they force an election with the prospects of another Minority Government, even if they had the most seats? That would be political suicide.
From my standpoint, if an election were held, the BQ would pull another 10 or so seats in Quebec, and I think Joe Public in Ontario is therefore going to be pushed into the relatively safe arms of the Liberals again.
As for Gomrey, I simply don't think it occurs to voters to punish the Liberals for engaging in this theft of money from the taxpayers. I think Mr. Martin has been very successful in spinning this as "that was then, this is now", and professing to know nothing about this. I think for these accusations to stick to the Liberals, there has to be something that can directly be pinned on the current PM, otherwise it will not affect the Voter's minds at all.
