Russ Campbell's Blog: Jim Flaherty

Direct link to article... [littlegreenfootballs.com]

This is the sec­ond time in less than a month I've writ­ten about The Ho­n­ourable Jim Fla­herty. Back on March 19, I wrote about his then re­cent res­ig­na­tion as Canada's fi­nance min­is­ter, a post he had held since he was elected to the fed­eral rid­ing of Whitby-Os­hawa in 2006. It is so hard to be­lieve that, less than a month later, I would be writ­ing about his death.

Any­one who reads this blog reg­u­larly knows that I was not al­ways a fan of Jim Fla­herty's poli­cies. I have never doubted, how­ever, his ded­i­cated ser­vice, his de­vo­tion and his com­mit­ment to Canada, or that he was do­ing what he be­lieved was best for our coun­try.
