Canadian politics is weird. Belinda Stronach, a woman who once ran for leadership of the Conservative party has now joined the Liberals as Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development (which, by the way, is the department where former Waterlooer John Voortman works).

With Stronach’s defection, it looks more likely that the Liberal budget will pass on Thursday. The Liberals now only need one of independents Chuck Cadman or (Edmontonian) David Kilgour to side with them, instead of needing both. So, we may not have a spring election after all.
