RIP Jim. One wonders if the resignation was too late for his health.
Exactly right...and many people wondered as well. I certainly did especially after Jack.I'm guessing he knew. Just like Jack knew.
yes and it's why his face was often puffed out as though he had gained weightFlaherty was prescribed steroids for a skin condition known to increase the risk of stoke.
What Is Bullous Pemphigoid? Jim Flaherty's Skin Condition Explained
Prolonged use of steroids increases risk of heart attack. Medical science will either cure you or kill you.
Gawd the fawning around Flaherty is positively stomach turning.
Flaherty was the 'muscle' the 'hit man' behind two of the most odious governments in Canadian history. The absolutely rancid Mike Harris administration in Ontario.. who sold off crown jewels of public property.. in parts of Ontario Hydro and its public roads system.
And the Free Market besotted Harper regime. The latter has disatrously compromised Canada's economic future as it has sold out to Wall Street and Global Investment Organism and fatally undermined Canadian sovereignty and any kind of integrated industrial economy on which to rely.
Well with all the grovelling servitude to International Financiers Flaherty expected a big cheque for loyal service from Bay Street. But dropped dead before he could cash it. Thems the breaks.... if you sell out your country.. there's no guarantee the ilk of Global Trading Oligarchs will pay off.. if you put in with gangsters, you shape your destiny by their 'omerta'.
Either he was a shill for the global trading and investment leviathon.. or he was deluded and incompetent.. those are the only two choices i see. He didn't 'save us' from the Global Crisis of 2008, which was only first of series of economic shocks to come.. he layed us prostrate before its sword.
Red given because that is all this post is worth. Memorial thread, nuff said.
Some cold hard reality about Flaherty's agenda is needed.. given the maudlin sentiment.. for a 'great' Canadian.. that is packaged as apologetics for his disastrous stewardship of his portfolio. He was a very average man, in a job that required some vision and courage.. rather than capitulation. Sad, but that's the way i see it.
Start a new thread.
You have been here long enough to know it is a Memorial Thread. If you wish to speak ill of the dead take it to another threadThe thread's title is 'Jim Flaherty is Dead'.. not Jim Flaherty RIP.. or memorial thread. You start a new thread.. if you want nothing but salivating, saccharine sentiment.

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.
Nobody stated that Harper was lying. I clearly said there was no reason to believe that he is lying.
Gimme a smilie Nug!
*muttering fer fukksakes this better work*
Can't . Tried. They are on my screen, and they show up when I hit the smilie button, but just leaves a "/" in the text where they should go. Nice try just the same. TY.
Never saw a deficit he didn't love.
Well the next budget will be balanced and that's Flaherty work not the new guy.
There's always every reason to believe Harper is/was lying.
