Maybe Flaherty meant he was paid to be a mascot.Beijing Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579118045254845839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-84652425908924659572012-05-17T07:50:17.261-04:002012-05-17T07:50:17.261-04:00Good point re the cons expense accounts and don...Good point re the cons expense accounts and don't forget Airshow McKay strutting around the country in military/search and rescue aircraft. Flaherty really is monstrously stupid but so is the rest of this crowd to think there are even enough jobs to go around. In the new "global" economy that we're seeing most of these jobs they're referring to wouldn't even pay the grocery bill for a week for even a small family with one or two kids, before even paying for housing costs. What are they thinking? Almost too painful to watch.bcwaterboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00506402752799423770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-86980044873262172722012-05-17T03:57:27.653-04:002012-05-17T03:57:27.653-04:00hi Anonymous...you know that's funny, I was wo...hi Anonymous...you know that's funny, I was wondering the same thing.

What a heartless little Con to be yapping like that, after killing tens of thousands of jobs all over the country.<br />And as you point out his plan to make people move to find a job is absurd.<br />But then Flaherty has always been an ideologue, like Stephen Harper he wants to destroy government, and he doesn't let facts get in the way. Which explains why he is slashing jobs, when austerity is killing Europe. The old slogan Con times are hard times, was never so true...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-53875856229330829382012-05-17T03:43:29.117-04:002012-05-17T03:43:29.117-04:00hi Boris...thanks for the encouragement.

I can barely summon up enough energy to blog.<br />But luckily there's always Jimbo "Jail the Homeless" Flaherty,to get me going ahead. <br />Because I really want future generations to understand that he wasn't just a nasty little Con gnome.

How does a single mother, afford the cost of moving to a new area. Re-locating to a different location, is thousands of dollars. Someone like Flaherty thieves $1,300, for luxury hotel suits. That's more than a single mother has for an entire month, to look after her children. That's exactly how stupid someone such as Flahery really is. For a family having to relocate, costs even more.<br /><br />I won't bother to say everything, regarding the ministers outrageous expense accounts. We all know them by heart. Did Harper not waste $1 billion dollars, on a stupid fake lake? $45,000 to take in a ball game. $11,000 per hour jet, to take in a hockey game. A whopping $47 million on Harper's security bill. He really must think himself, really important to waste our tax dollars on himself. He isn't worth a thin dime.<br /><br />See what I mean, when a person gets started on Harper and his Conservatives, theft of our tax dollars. Maybe just one more, Bev Oda.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-4560182679733508402012-05-16T13:03:32.097-04:002012-05-16T13:03:32.097-04:00You're on fire these days, Simon.You're on fire these days, Simon.Borishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952672409601421466noreply@blogger.com
