message: Can someone confirm that Stronach is in fact a member of the Privy Council and carries the Hon. title? I don't recall hearing this and there was no reference to this (including her title) during the election yesterday. 23skidoo 23:01, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you need to review what being a member of the Privy Council means...are you seriously trying to dispute whether or not she was a cabinet minister? Bearcat 23:11, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Members of the Privy Council are rarely (if ever?) removed; the Hon. Belinda Stronach remains a member of the Privy Council for life, thereby retaining the style "The Honourable" for life.  Sometimes the media (incorrectly) omits the title, however, she is quite entitled to its use as a member of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada. FiveParadox 09:43, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

:The Toronto Life piece is most certainly not a source for the assertion she "supports" the Canadian Auto Workers. It says she negotiated a contract with the CAW; it describes that contract as "win-win," which is what anybody would usually would say about a contract they've earnestly negotiated and signed. By this (meaningless) standard, nearly every executive ever in a union shop can be said to have "supported" their union. The best these points of data leave us with is that "Stronach was not so vehemently opposed to unions as to refuse to negotiate any contract at all, running all Magna plants with strike-breakers forever, or moving them to jurisdictions without mandatory union certification."

replies: text: It is also unlikely that the people who sign almost any union contract would describe it any other way. If she had said it was a loss for Magna, the share price would fall (and her and her family's wealth); if she gloated it was a loss for the union, she'd be viewed as a fairly nasty person. If the union leaders admitted to losing ground for their members, outside of extremely hard times for the economy or the company, their members would likely vote those leaders out.

message: There is an inconsitency on the title in the succession box on the bottom. What is this reference to Minister of State? On the Minister of HRSD page, Volpe is indicated as the first minister under Martin, then Robillard then Stronach. I'll revert it back until we get this cleared up.--Smith87 01:22, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

message: User:24.69.167.172 seems insistent on keeping the bit about Stronach's grasp of French in the article. While I don't necessarily agree with its inclusion, shouldn't it at least be moved somewhere else? It appears incredibly non-sequitur in the opening paragraph. If the suggestions that Belinda could take over the Liberals become more than just idle talk, then it might be added to a section about that. Right now, I can only see it fitting into "characterization in the media", if that. -- Наташа ( User ♡ Talk ) 19:45, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

message: This one keeps getting reverted so I'll justify it out here. Belanger continued serving as Minister for Democratic Reform upon Stronach's entering cabinet, and he was succeeded in that position by Nicholson. Democratic Renewal was a position created the one time for her. Perhaps we should put it under Special Cabinet responsibilities or something, I don't know. But let's leave as is to be accurate.--Smith87 23:20, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
