I guess. I am simply saying that there is no reason to doubt him when he says that.
Lol, you chose to respond to my post and say you disagreed with me, and now you have made two posts complaining about me. It seems like you are the one who wants to bicker.
No Bornruff, I didn't want to bicker. I just said it didn't surprise me. You said it was a surprise to you. But that wasn't enough, it suddenly became a debate for you.
I'll leave it at that.
Flaherty was prescribed steroids for a skin condition known to increase the risk of stoke.

Prolonged use of steroids increases risk of heart attack. Medical science will either cure you or kill you.

I can't really go on without pointing out that you are still encouraging more bickering.
But anyways, no, this is what you said "I'm guessing he knew. Just like Jack knew." Which is a different statement.
I simply pointed out that from what I know, this does not seem to be the case. There is nothing to indicate that people expected him to die now or anytime soon. At least for me, when I hear that someone has died, if I don't already know, I am often interested in knowing if it was something that the family expected or not, so it seemed worthwhile to try to correct that.
Going out of your way to point out that you thought he was going to die doesn't really seem to add much to a memorial. When you hear that someone had died, is your first thought usually "I called that!".
FFS it's a memorial thread. If you simply HAVE to be right, start a NEW thread. Have some class!
I would say the work pace, hours worked, stress were major contributors.
There are tests that show blockages in the heart.

At Question Period the opposition were tough on him but he stood his ground and came back with quick witted and funny answers.
One of the few Conservatives who had a soul and defended his constituents, his party and his government. True to his family, a diplomat, statesman and a great asset to all Canadians from coast to coast to coast.
I will miss him greatly.

He was a good man.
Like others I suspect he may have been more unwell than was generally known.
To pass a mere month or two after retiring is simply tragic.
My regards to his family and friends.
He served well.
Politically I think he was one of Canada's better finance minsters.
I thought both Flaherty for the Con's and Martin for the Lib's took on a tough job during a tough time and did the job without complaint.
They could have both made a ton more money in the private sector.
Thank you.

Whoa..........teach me for not listening to the news. To me, this was a shock even though I knew his health wasn't good. He was a good and decent man and I would add my condolences to the family and his friends. I am sure he will be missed by many.
I read the article on Flaherty's skin disease and man I feel even worse for the guy. Sounds as though he was in a great deal of pain.
Watching CTV coverage of Mr Flaherty's death.............just realized he was born the same year I was, 1949.
RIP. The man did much for his country, and it's sad he never got to enjoy the fruits of his retirement.
Well I have a similar skin condition in my hands that flares up from time to time. It's not eczema, but an infection similar to this. I attribute it to handling fuel, but no one is really sure. I can tell when I get it, it is extremely painful. Also treated with steroids.
I have Lupus and use hydrocortisone creams
1 thing to watch for is thinning of the skin.
