I wonder how much of an increase in advertising revenue will this honour cost the Canadian taxpayer.

"I wonder how much of an increase in advertising revenue will this honour cost the Canadian taxpayer."
Well, we have to keep the taps open for stimulus so advertising Flaherty's international recognition is not only good for getting the word out about how Canada has prospered with him as finance minster but it's also very prudent economics. We really can't afford not to advertise this.

Well he's doing the right thing pushing the HST. You can bet the Finance Dept is cheering this on lustily.

I wouldn’t expect a deficit right now. We are on track for a surplus this year

A plan that keeps our budget balanced for now
Nov 28, 2008
We will go into deficit temporarily, if we need to
Dec 17, 2008
No, there will be a deficit

This begs the question, if Flaherty is the best finance minister, just to what kind of finance minister is every other country subjected? Arsonists?

I figured the piano playing would have sent Martin into the scotch; this may provoke a downward spiral.
