Senator Duffy of course had a long running TV show called Mike Duffy Live where he kissed everyone Blue and Red's rear ends in his long quest for a Cash For Life position. A few years ago our beloved Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, caved in to Mr. Duffy's incessant lobbying and made him a Senator from PEI. For your erudition previous to lobbying PM Harper our fair weather fatso also lobbied PM Martin, PM Chretien and probably PM Sir John A Parkway.
Here is what the unesteemed Senator, a man who has lived in Ottawa longer than even the WFDS, is doing. He is claiming his residence in PEI, a humble cottage, as his primary home and claiming the pile of bricks he has owned since 2003 in Kanata, a boring suburb 40 minutes west of Parliament Hill, as his got to have one Ottawa residence.
This old fashioned switcheroo has been going on "Since September 2010." Since then "Duffy has charged the Senate $33,413 for living expenses in the National Capital Region." Rules are clear that "Senators with a primary residence within 100 kilometres of the city are not eligible for the allowance." Kanata and back is less than half of that mileage.
The former journalistic hack and unelected Senator told The Ottawa Citizen that he was "...frankly tired of your B.S."
As witty as he is urbane.
