The Globe and Mail has an interesting story in today's paper about newly minted Liberal Cab Min Belinda Stronach. The Diva of Human Resources has attended four cabinet meetings since her arrival at the table of power and as Jane Taber, Steven Chase and Greg Keenan point out Ms. Stronach has had to excuse herself from the meetings a number of times.
Seems that the Government has a lot of conversations on industry in our country and Ms. Stronach must tread carefully on such matters, due to her connections to the Magna empire. Interestingly enough Madam Minister is not alone in having to take a hike from time to time. Even the Prime Minister himself has had to step outside during cabinet meetings, as matters closer to his heart/family trust come up for discussion.
Affairs of state now resemble a game of musical chairs as our political masters jump up and down as the music plays on. Kind of appropriate for a place that takes on more of a carnival air more and more these days. Suggested music: Pop goes the Weasel?
