	Scott Brison and Belinda Stronach -- there's no comparison (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		It is true that Brison supported the merger between the PC’s and the Canadian Alliance but he left the party only three days after the Conservative Party of Canada came into being; hardly spending enough time in the CPC to become a highly regarded and trusted insider of the new entity.
		Scott Brison’s reasons for making the move was that he didn’t feel comfortable being in the same party with some of the members of the old Canadian Alliance and Reform parties.
		Brison’s reasons were personal and not the shallow reasoning of someone who sees themselves as the centre of the universe.

		Brison has made his share of mistakes, the biggest being sending an e-mail to a banker friend about pending changes in income-trust rules, which he admitted was a mistake.

	Liberal MP Scott Brison keeps getting his wires crossed

		Brison’s main target, if only by extension, was Stephen Harper, NCC former president and leader of the party Brison was elected to serve.
