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.

Dead on correct, IMO. Stronach is belatedly doing what myself and many others did when the old PC party folded up tent - jumping ship from the good ship Reform. The perception, real or imagined, is that the 'Red Tories' are a minority in the CPC party with no real say, and Stronach leaving reinforces that opinion - especially given her parting shots. Personally, it would not suprise me in the least if the more centrist members of the CPC jump ship, especially in Ontario and Atlantic Canada.
