Fun with Finance!

  Finance Minister Jim Flaherty has a job that's all numbers, and a lot of bad news. Despite these breaks, he makes the best of his photo ops. Most recently, he clambered into an igloo during a break in the G7 summit in Iqaluit, Nunavut, Saturday February 6, 2010.

  To be fair, we have hundreds of photos in our system of Flaherty in a suit. Many as he's attending stuffy meetings with bankers and financial leaders. And hundreds of him in the heat of anger, dealing with opposition questions in Parliament. But here, Flaherty gets ready for a dog sled trip, as a staffer jumps on at the last second. Woo-hoooo!
