isn't belinda stronach one smart cookie?

Belinda Stronach is back in the news. This time promoting women's awareness for cancer. Stronach has spoken to CBC and a bunch of other outlets trying to get women to get screened more often and get more funding for cancer treatment. And so, Belinda stays one step ahead of the haters again. Now try and attack me, she scoffs at the Conservatives.

After entering politics when no one thought she would make it, crossing sides when everyone thought it was political suicide (and breaking poor Peter Mackay's heart in the process), Belinda Stronach has re-emerged as a health spokeswoman after having had surgery for cancer.

This woman is like the Madonna of Canadian politics.

I'm not sure how far Belinda would have made it in politics regardless (although she was the most visible female politician since Sheila Copps, I think), but with her craftiness for re-invention, don't be surprised if after a few more years, she pops back in.

See her video interview with the CBC.

(I know I should have posted Belinda's picture, but this hang-dog pic of Mackay is just much, much funnier.)
