Yeah, but can she bake a bigger pie?

Priceless. Angry Statesmanlike in the GWN has dug up the resumé of Martha Hall Findlay, the Liberal candidate of record in Newmarket-Aurora as of 10:45 am yesterday, now sadly just another bit of political roadkill:

Martha is a successful, well-respected lawyer, businesswoman and entrepreneur, with extensive experience with both large and small business. • She is fluently bilingual in English and French, with training in several other languages. • She is 45, and has 3 grown children: Katie, 23; Everett, 21 and Patrick, 19. • She is the founder and principal of The General Counsel Group, management and legal consultants since 1997. As a member of The General Counsel Group, Martha has worked primarily in the high-tech and telecommunications fields, in both Canada and Europe. • Prior to forming The General Counsel Group, Martha was: ◦ Vice President, Corporate Development and General Counsel of The Rider Group; ◦ General Counsel and Corporate Secretary for Mobility Canada, Bell Mobility Corporate Counsel; ◦ Lawyer with the international law firm of Baker & McKenzie (in Toronto), practising international corporate and commercial law. • She also co-owned and operated two retail stores while completing law school. • Martha graduated from the University of Toronto's International Relations Programme and then from Osgoode Hall Law School. In her youth, Martha was a competitive skier, ultimately being named to the Canadian National Training Squad before retiring and pursuing her formal education. Martha supported herself throughout university working as a waitress, in construction (primarily as a carpenter) and coaching young ski racers.


But what are her accomplishments and ability compared to those of Belinda Stronach, Feminist Icon?
