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.
