The lady is totally inexperienced in any political position, she has never even been a town councillor, or a provincial legislature member. She has never held ANY elected position.
Her father is multi-millionaire, wjo owns the largest auto parts maker in Canada, Magna Industries. They make most of the sub-assembly parts for Ford, GM, Daimler Chrysler, Toyota, and Suzuki. If you drive any of those brands, your seats, dash, engine and trans were built by Magna.
Daddy started the company as a new immigrant from Austria, back in the 60‘s. Recently he has begun to buy up horse racing tracks, to further his Magna Entertainment empire, which includes a number of US casinos. He is one of the most wealthy men in either Canada, or the USA.
his daughter is 37, a twice divorced mother of two kids. Her salary last year with Magna was about 8 million dollars. She has now resigned her position with Magna, to run for the leadership of the new Conservative Party. she has been endorsed by old school Conservatives like Bill Davis, Brian Mulroney, and Mike Harris.
It remains to be seen if she can secure enough delegates vote‘s to win the leadership race. Remember that the Liberals will most likely announce a General Election this Spring, so she has very little time to act.
My prediction? Too inexperienced, to young and too rich to be a serious candiadate for the leader‘s job. Maybe in a few years, but not this year. too soon.
