#Flahertyjobs tweets mock Jim Flaherty's "no bad jobs" comment

Finance Minister Jim Flaherty's "no bad jobs" comment backfired on social media today, with people from across Canada posting crappy jobs (many of them fictional) with the hashtag #flahertyjobs.

"The guy who has to explain Climate Change to Peter Kent#flahertyjobs" tweeted @DanSpeerin, who started the trend earlier this afternoon.

"#FlahertyJobs Fresh orange juice squeezer for Bev Oda," tweeted @trapdinawrlpool, in reference to the Conservative MP's recent spending spree scandal. 

"Twenty something destined to be Harper regime's fall guy for incident of scandalous corruption #FlahertyJobs" offered @equalitybfast.

Flaherty meant his comment to be a nod to blue-collar work -- "I drove a taxi, I refereed hockey," he told reporters -- but opposition criticized his suggestion that some Canadians were out of work because they were being too choosy about their jobs. 

In the style of the recent twitter trend #TellVicEverything -- which blasted Public Safety Minister Vic Toews over his "online spying" bill -- Canadians unleashed their political humour with jobs ideas that poked fun at the federal government.
