Flaherty is correct. No economist of repute foresaw a global recession; especially one of this severity.
Gritgirl is simply fatuous in attempting to bolster her case by including quotes from September last year and onwards. Everyone knew the world economy was tanking by that date.
In the last paragraph you say "Everyone knew the world economy was tanking by that date."
Yet you state in paragraph 1 "that no one saw it coming."
So which is it?
Flaherty seems to be the last person on earth to find out. Can you say super shitty economist?
Well Flaherty and brain dead partisan like yourself seem to either be completely stupid or extremely deceitful. Neither quality makes you fit to govern. I am surprised you neo-cons ever admitted a recession at all, seeing your tainted ideology caused all this mess.
Paul S: Everyone knew the world economy was tanking by that date.
Everyone except Harper, I reckon, judging by his rosy stump speeches in the fall election campaign. Even Flaherty's December economic update mini-budget neglected to take into account the severity of the recession. If everyone knew in September, why was Harper saying what he said on the stump and why was the Con's December statement so out of touch with reality?
Some knew. I suspect even Harper knew. He wasn't telling, though. Telling the truth in an election campaign would have hurt his chances. The truth can hurt.
