Well that's interesting!
Stronach shares more in common with Scott Brison than the fact they both crossed to the Liberal Party of Canada (Stronach in 2005 and Brison in 2003). It's the fact they both sought the leadership of another party before crossing over — Stronach for the newly formed Con­ser­va­tive Party of Canada in 2004, and Brison for the moribond Progressive Con­ser­va­tive Party in 2003. Stephen Harper won against Stronach while Peter MacKay won against Brison.
