    Jim Flaherty prepares to negotiate with EU representatives over the proposed Seal Products Ban. Testing the popular theory among Canadians that in Iqaluit, like space, no one can hear you scream, Flaherty releases the hounds.

    Good boy, you found me! Now go find my dignity and my career. That's a good dog.

    In this month's edition of Boys of the North, how to mix and match your outfilts – the husky models the 'Harness Over Coat' style, while Flaherty models the 'Coat Over Harness' style.

      Sorry to bother you again, buddy, but Steve needs a new toupee.

    In vague ways he remembered back to the youth of the party, to the time the Cons ranged in packs through the primeval forest and killed their meat as they ran it down. . . . Thus, as token of what a puppet thing life is the ancient song surged through him and he came into his own again. . . .

    "Hey Miniature Husky's! Cool!"

    Jim Flaherty's thought : "Look! Man's best friend!"
    Dog's thought : "Look! Dinner!"

    Look guy, I don't care how many treats you bribe me with I'm not biting you to distract the public from the entire "Onion Ring/Stephen Harper" debacle.

    It's not exactly Iron Will….More like "The Call of the Mild"

    "Okay boy! That's enough of sniffing my lucky charms."

    On a similar theme to Sean's and much more awkward.

    "Hmmm…. Flattened ears and bared teeth. That dog's going to attack! But it's ok, my good friend Steve emasculated me already"

    Little did Flaherty know that having already turned on his owner, Kyoto's taste for parliamentarian flesh was growing by the minute…

    With Parliament closed down, Jim Flaherty trolls for a one night stand, pretty much confirming the Canadian public's view of how the Conservatives are keeping busy during prorogation.

    Too late for a winner? I haven't gotten to the bottom yet, but this one's great!
