This nose stretcher is brought to you by buffet killer and Kanata, home of the other Ottawa Senators, resident Senator Mike Duffy, who ostensibly is a Conservative.
Mr. Duffy has been claiming that he lives in PEI but winters in Kanata or some other sort of lie. He gets extra cash for that lie. 21 large. Plus he is a Senator representing Prince Edward Island and therefore must have some sort of presence there.
To establish said presence the powers that control the purse on the Hill want proof of residence. They started an audit of where the Sens actually live on December 6 of last year. A health card, driver's license, maybe a cable bill will do.
Since Mr. Duffy has lived in Ottawa longer than I have he didn't have any proof so he, or someone from his office, contacted the PEI health card people before Christmas to get a heath card. Backdated would be nice. "Doug Currie, the province's health minister, confirmed to CBC News on Monday that Duffy applied for provincial health care just before Dec. 25, 2012, and that somebody contacted Currie's office about the application."
In other words Senator Duffy tried to pull a fast one to save his 21,000.00 $ housing allowance.
But no one likes the big man so here we are.

5596...Tories Get Caught Lying
Then unlying.
A big time prominent Team Stephen Harper member was mentioned in The Huffington Post this day. Not a good mention either. It was "Frank DeLorey, the Tories' director of communications, [who] said there was an 'internal miscommunication'[sic] regarding the calls and that they should have been clearly identified as coming from the party."
The deal is that last week there were a bunch of Robo calls to Saskatchewan, most likely coming from the Tories, that were hating on the redistribution of seats in Rider Land. I say most likely coz Mr. DeLorey adamantly denied to The Ottawa Citizen that they came from the Conservatives.
Fool me once Mr. Harper...

5594...Is Quebec Leaving Canada Soon?
Me thinks not but you wouldn't know that from reading the papers.
The nub of the story is that the NDP have proposed a bill to clarify the Clarity Act. For those that don't know the Clarity Act is unclear about how big the majority has to be for La Belle to leave Canada after a referendum. The only thing it is clear about is 50 per cent plus one just won't do.
The NDP sanely propose that 50 plus one is the way to go.
It is like a divorce sports fans. If she wants to go, she is going. That's it, that is all.

5593...Poutine Futures Are Thru The Roof
For those of you that went long on poutine, congrats.
Because of the demise by fire of the St. Albert Cheese Co-operative, which is/was in St. Albert, Ontario, just south east of your capital, the price of poutine shall be on the move.
The story ran front page in all three Ottawa papers and led the news on all platforms.
The power of poutine.
