Heiress to announce leadership run today Tom Blackwell, National Post
She has been endorsed by such Conservative heavyweights as Brian Mulroney and Bill Davis, once raved about Pierre Trudeau after a dinner meeting with him, and is friends with Bill Clinton. A hard-nosed labour leader speaks highly of her, even though most of Magna's plants are not unionized.
'She's open to dialogue and she is not opposed to her employees joining our union,' said Buzz Hargrove, president of the Canadian Auto Workers.

Look, I don’t think Stronach is stupid, nor do I buy the idea that behind that bland, blonde face is a "blank slate". She has lots of ideas, inherited along with her wealth and corporate power from her father.
The Stronach fortune is based, not on the brilliance of Frank nor the business acumen of Belinda, but on union busting.
Magna grew thanks to the concession contracts that the auto industry won beginning in the 1970’s, that allowed the big carmakers to buy their car parts from outsource, non-union shops. Magna remains a bastion of anti-union corporatism, thanks in large part to the legislative backing of the above listed political hacks.------------------------------------------- posted 6:32 AM :: reference link ::
