Oh Belinda!

Home wrecker. Turn coat. Spoiled little rich girl. Say what you want about poor Belinda Stronach, but you gotta admit the girl is giving Canadian politics some excitement. Mind you . . . it is for the wrong reasons, but let (s)he who is without sin cast the first stone. Come on, if you had a chance at Tie Domi, wouldn't you knowlingly pursue the option and break up a family? Yes, his wife's name is Leanne so I'm gonna take her side in this one. He does have the sexy unibrow, a TSN contract and the more fame for punching people out then actual on ice talent.

But that's beside the point . . . the girl has more people paying attention to the boring politics of this country. Not since Pierre Trudeau has there been such interest in a MP's private life. Who can forget the heart wrenching pain Peter McKay showed after she crossed the floor to join the Liberals? Give the girl credit for giving the guy the boot in a unique and impressively heart breaking way . . . and she left the Tories at the same time proving her head had to be in the right place.

But here's a list of her career accomplishments (other than sleeping with Bill Clinton):

• the National Post newspaper had already identified Belinda in 2001 as the most powerful businesswoman in Canada.
• the World Economic Forum named her a "Global Leader of Tomorrow"
• In 2002, she was ranked #2 by Fortune Magazine in its list of the world's most powerful women in business
• named one of Canada's "Top 40 under 40"
• In 2004, TIME Magazine ranked Belinda as one of the world's 100 most influential people
• In 2005 the World Economic Forum named her a member of its network of global young leaders.
• Also in 2005, the Women's Executive acclaimed Belinda one of Canada's top 100 most powerful women.
• She is currently the Official Opposition Critic for Competitiveness and the New Economy
• Belinda is the former President and CEO of Magna International Inc., one of the largest global suppliers of automotive systems and components in the world with 82,000 employees in 22 countries
