A frustrated Flaherty

Jim Flaherty is confronted by some friendly pensioners.

“Listen, this is a very serious time!” a frustrated Flaherty said sternly. “All of these issues being raised about jobs, about pensions, about whether or not General Motors can survive and in what form, and whether Chrysler Canada Ltd. can survive and in what form, these are very major questions that are being discussed right now in a serious way.”

Wait a second.

I thought he was telling us this was a “mild recession”.

I can’t help but feel some sympathy for Flaherty’s plight — he has a tough job right now. Just to be clear though, I’ll never forgive these guys for their cavalier actions during the last half of 2008. When they “have sown the wind, they shall reap the whirlwind.”
