This is a huge blow to the Conservatives. Budget vote aside, it does even greater damage in appearing to validate what many Ontarians think - that the big bad Conservatives are just too right wing. Devastating.
If the Conservatives really want to counter this before the next election, they'll have to swap leaders for someone more appealing (read: right of center) to Ontarians.
And all this talk about her doing this for money? Rubbish. She's a billionaire, with a capital B. Bend it like Bourgeois is dead on the money, its the power she seeks.
Pretty crappy cabinet position she gets though, that's chewed up the last few people that took it. US Army recruiter might be an easier job right now.
