At the risk of turning our Podunkian window on the world into a tabloid tattler, we gingerly tred the land of the formerly broken hearted.
When we last left poor Peter McKay, he was seen forlornly walking the potato patches of Nova Scotia trying to put the pieces back together, after being callously bounced by his beau Belinda.
Well good news, it seems time heals all wounds as Petey has bounced back and bounced back big.
Peter McKay has been spotted squiring around a young lady named Sophie Desmarais, daughter of Establishment legend Paul Desmarais the head of Power Corporation one of Canada's largest corporations. It's reported that the net worth of the Desmarais clan, checks in at over 3.94 Billion dollars. Meaning Pete had best pick his restaurants with care.
The Nova Scotia MP and Deputy leader of the Conservatives, can thank Mila Mulroney for the new gal in his life. It seems that Mrs. Mulroney set the two up at a dinner party at her house last month and since then it's been a relationship in incubation. Sophie even made an appearance to the visitors gallery of the House of Commons to watch her new friend at work, maybe Belinda noticed a new face, oh payback it's a b, er beautiful thing, eh Pete.
If nothing else Peter knows how to pick his ladies, he's moved up from the 50th richest family to the power brokers that truly make a difference, the Desmarais family is listed as Canada's 6th richest families.
Should the relationship move further along than these early days of dates and dinners, it could make for a hell of a family reunion for the Desmarais clan. Sophie's brother Andre, is married to France Chretien, the daughter of Jean and Aline Chretien. Small town that Ottawa!
Mulroneys, Chretiens, Desmarais the names certainly symbolize the establishment of Westmount and Quebec. Could make for a darn fine base for a leadership contenders financial core, Stephen Harper could only dream of such connections. Just thinking ahead there folks. just thinking ahead.
It may be politics, it may be love, but unless your an heiress, there seemingly is little chance to get on Pete's dance card anytime soon. However a word of advice for the Thomson, Weston, Skoll, Irving and Pattison families; lock up your daughters if Pete goes on the prowl again.
In the world of power couples, Peter has made a big step from those now forgotten days of Belinda. This time he really is part of a POWER couple. But there's still some room to move up!
