How do you spell unaccountable? J i m F l a h e r t y

Let’s be honest. Jim Flaherty is the human embodiment of unaccountable.

Today we learn from our perfect elfin Finance Minister that Dalton McGuinty, and not he, is responsible for the woes in Ontario’s manufacturing sector.

If so, why is Buzz Hargrove calling for Flaherty’s upcoming election defeat and not McGuinty’s?

Flaherty is claiming that Dalton didn’t have sufficient “vision”. This coming from a man who doesn't fix potholes or doesn’t realize how utterly misguided his first 1% cut to the GST was, so he instituted a second 1% cut to the GST.

Here’s Flaherty’s complete disowning of responsibility from today:

Then there was the equally shameful disowning of responsibility on the part of Flaherty concerning the $65 billion in takeovers that were induced by his foreign takeover friendly trust tax. This particular outcome had been predicted by many ever since the evening of Halloween 2006.

Flaherty listen? No

Flaherty acknowledge? No

Flaherty held accountable? You be the judge of this pathetic exercise in accountability:
