	Guest Comment on NRO
		Flaherty is running to succeed premier Mike Harris at the helm of Ontario's governing Progressive Conservative party in the party's leadership election on March 23.
		Flaherty, however, is having none of it, and through a campaign of bold speeches and skillfully timed policy statements has transformed the leadership election from an Eves coronation to a contest for the heart and soul of the party.
		Flaherty's commanding performance in the February 27 leadership debate — the only one of the six debates to be televised province-wide — was widely acknowledged as a major victory.

	Cerberus: Jim Flaherty opposes GST cuts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Flaherty must have a lot of iron in his soul to stand up and defend such a flip flop from his principles when he was Minister of Finance of Ontario.
		Flaherty and Harper had the right policy - tax cuts are generally good but broad-based income taxes are better for the economy than "knee-jerk" GST cuts - and they abandoned that for a perceived chance to grab some votes.
		I, like Jim Flaherty, think that it is short-term knee-jerk policy that does nothing for the strength of the economy.

		Flaherty believes the party can still be persuaded to allow advance polls, and says he's "going to continue to work on this to ensure that a solution is found."

		Flaherty declined to comment on Bangs' remark, stressing that while only a small minority of voters would be affected by the Saturday balloting, "if we believe in strength in diversity and an all-inclusive approach, then it's mandatory that we take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that no one is disenfranchised."
