Flaherty's Fiscal Fiasco

Big Jim Flaherty really should turn the motor off while his car is parked in the garage. The former Mike Harris bean counter is showing dangerous signs of memory loss.

President Harper's cabinet banker was in Niagara-on-the-Lake the other day on a wine tasting tour (on the taxpayer dime) when he blurted out some rather crazy musings about the previous Liberal government's economic record. After imbibing a wee bit more merlot than a circus performer can handle, the extreme right wing zealot slurred derogatory Reform-Alliance-Conservative propaganda at a gathering of Conservative troglodytes.

What Big Jim failed to share with his audience of knuckle draggers was that while the previous Liberal government was cleaning up the $43 billion deficit mess left by the poster boy for political corruption and patronage - take a bow Brian Mulroney - Flaherty was racking up billions of dollars in debt in Ontario.

Big Jim closed schools and hospitals to feed his deficit addiction. He mused about creating super prisons and filling them with homeless, single mothers, same sex couples, illiterate adults, aboriginals and just about any other vulnerable group that didn't buy into his extremist agenda.

Ontarians were smart enough to send Big Jim packing. Let's hope Canadians are even smarter.
