The reason is Jim F. is thinking of doing something useful in his life. He is tired of traveling the world doing nothing but repeat his boss’s words. Also his wife is ready to step down to let Jim have another crack at the job.
I remember a guy who was oppo leader in a minority parliament not so long ago…. He drilled for an election constantly…. Everyone said he was a dead man… sound familiar? That guy became P.M…. Then again, he had the mother of all scandals to play with and faced a divided Liberal Party.

Wow, I would LOVE it if Flaherty came back to challenge Hudak for the Ontario PC leadership. The election ads write themselves…

If you think Bob Rae has baggage…..
Let me give the non-partisan view: Stupid fucking move!
