RIP, Jim Flaherty

Yes, NBfPB can achieve such geekdom that we mourn the loss, or at least acknowlege the loss, of a former Finance Minister.

Although this Bloomberg article is peppered with off-base assetions and contradictory logic aimed at calling Flaherty's tenure into question, there can be no doubt as to Canada's fiscal prudence and good example for the world in how to not go stupid-ass, belly up.  And Flaherty was instrumental.

God speed, Jim Flaherty.
