Oh, I'm no fan of Stronach. I don't particularly care for the woman.

She has indicated that she still likes public service and that she'll re-enter politics one day. Remember she's only forty. There are many years ahead of her in terms of a political career. Imagine that, only forty and having been a Member of Parliament in the House of Commons. I think there's room for improvement, don't you?

"That was her undressing." I think you meant to say undoing. You see, it's this kind of sexism that wreaks havoc on politics and the careers of politicians such as Stronach. Are you sure your perception of isn't heavily influenced by having absorbed the wrong media coverage of her? I've heard people describe Stronach as headstrong. This isn't a safe thing for a bubblehead, especially in the corporate world.
