Flaherty’s fortune and lucky number 14

Finance minister Jim Flaherty’s campaign office used to be an emergency animal hospital. Below Derek Vanstone (his chief of staff on leave for the campaign) shows the surgical light in the office.


This was Vanstone’s fortune cookie fortune the first night of the campaign. The election is Oct. 14, one the lucky numbers noted on there.


Campaign signs and stakes are kept in a kennel area.


Flaherty drives around in his vehicle with a trailer to promote his campaign.

 

He has been doing a lot of door knocking.

And seen lot of things like gnomes and other creatures on people’s porches.
