How do you not love Arash?

He's come full circle, he's gone from hilarious, to insanely annoying, back to hilarious again.

Former finance minister Jim Flaherty is dead at 64

Former finance minister Jim Flaherty has passed away, only weeks after resigning his cabinet post.

Emergency crews were called to the 64-year-old’s Ottawa condo Thursday afternoon. A source said he died of a massive heart attack.

Several police cars were parked outside Mr. Flaherty's Ottawa home, in the Byward Market area. Police are expected to make a statement shortly.

WTF - serious? I honestly thought this was a hoax at first. What are the odds that someone dies within 4 weeks of retiring?!?

Wow, RIP

RIP....It is disappointed to get checkout that early into his retirement.

Just about any man who took that job in the middle of a global recession would have resigned in the first few days.

Flaherty engaged, and despite corporate lobbyists, he still said, "I'm not going to take your bribes and intimidation". He did it in the bank and real estate industry.

I could be totally wrong, but Flahery seemed to be a down to earth kind of guy.

I don't think him and Harper saw eye to eye.

You would be surprised - happens more often than you think. Hence why some people are afraid to retire....

There were rumours (that Flaherty denied) that his resignation was health-related.

Pretty good, if he retired due to health reasons.

Holy fuck, first the ultimate warrior and now him. Those two guys are both my heros.

If this was your third hero, you'd be 3 for 3.

Heart attack can happen at any time. Jon Lord died at 57.

His last tweet seems very ominous in hindsight
