By David Climenhaga, on May 22, 2013, at 1:26 am Prime Minister Stephen Harper, not pictured because he’s pretty well disappeared, has heeded the touristic lure South America, illustrated above.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper was apparently grinding away at his Conservative caucus yesterday morning about the need for Senate reform.
An interesting strategy, his!
First you pack the place with self-entitled cheats and porkchoppers like Mike “The Puffster” Duffy, then you argue that their misdeeds are proof the institution needs reform!
If nothing else, this suggests (Read more…)
By David Climenhaga, on May 20, 2013, at 1:29 am The home of Canada’s Parliament, held in contempt by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his Reform Party, doing business under the name of the Conservative Party of Canada. Below: former chief of staff Nigel Wright, Mr. Harper and Senator Mike Duffy.

I’ve known Duffy since the early 70′s and I always knew him to be a full-time Ottawa guy. He worked in Ottawa. He owned property in the Ottawa area. He was from Prince Edward Island but it’s almost commonplace for prominent Ottawans to hail from someplace else.

By Obert Madondo, on December 6, 2012, at 5:04 pm Senator Mike Duffy has reportedly claimed more than $33,000 in “living allowances intended to defray senators’ costs of maintaining a second home in the National Capital Region”. The trouble is: the Conservative senator and Harper appointee has been an Ottawa resident since the 1970s. He has a home in Kanata, a part of the amalgamated city [...]
