I want the old Jim Flaherty back  Lorne Gunter,           National Post                            Published: Friday, March 26, 2010   Remember in late November 2008 when federal Finance Minister Jim  Flaherty introduced a fiscal update in response to the worldwide  financial crisis that was just then unfolding? The update precipitated a constitutional crisis because it  contained a plan to cut off taxpayer funding to political parties. That  provoked the Liberals and NDP to propose a coalition government propped  up by the Bloc Quebecois.
Through these thoughts I intend to present my own personal view, opinions and appreciations of life in Canada and the world at the beginnings of this century/millenium.
