    Magna’s been widely rumored to be spearheading a purchase of Chrysler if and when it gets spun off from its parent company.

    If she can’t run the Grits or the Tories, maybe she can run Chrysler; it would be more rewarding than being an oppostion MP.

    I read about that in Bloomberg today.

    I’m surprised she lasted this long, if dad wants her at the company, she goes back to the company.
