DescriptionPeter MacKay reacted with "volcanic fury" when Belinda Stronach revealed she was defecting to the Liberal cabinet, a new book claims.

During talks that lasted into the early hours of the morning, MacKay begged Stronach not to leave him, warning her defection would "destroy the Conservative Party."

The gossipy account of one of Canada's highest-profile political defections is revealed in a new biography penned by National Post political columnist Don Martin.

According to 'Belinda: the Political and Private Life of Belinda Stronach,' the wealthy opposition MP hoped to convince the then deputy leader of the Conservative Party that their relationship could survive her crossing the floor.
