This could be the end of Harper

Yeah I read that one this morning. What a bunch of self entitled spoiled imbeciles. These Quebec students have heavily subsidized tuition and the protestors are just professional students who aspire to a government job. They complain with full bellys let's just say. They spend more time in pubs and texting on $100/mth iPhones than they do studying and investing in their future.
Getting back to the Duffy scandal, hard to say how it will end? Many have already disconnected and made up their mind that the Senate is nothing but a leftover from days where the ruling Monarchs felt they needed a "House of Lords" or in our case a Senate to oversee the non Aristocratic and elected house of Commons. Pretty well how I see the Senate. The whole somber second thought thing is a farce as most are just patronage appointments of party hacks with little constitutional law expertise anyway. I think the biggest winner will be Mulcair not having any NDP Senators. trust me if he ever became PM he would stack the place like every other sitting PM. Harper wanted to reform the Senate, campaigned on it and even took his case to the Supreme Court. Other than letting them hang themselves there isn't much left maneuvering for him on that file. JT did a preemptive strike and kicked the Senate out of caucus because he knew that the coming audits would expose the rest of his piglets as not that different than Duffy , Walin and Harb.
There will no doubt be shocking revelations, the CBC will run with it but these electors gave Wynne a majority after years of fraud, theft and incompetence. Who knows....
And really is this about Duffy or is it about the Harper haters attacking Harper? The haters will hate and the fans will support him. Being a fan , I see a party that used private money to repay fraudulent expense claims and he got the boot from the party. I wish the Provincial Liberals handled their own scandals like that.

Seems the circus can't keep the clown(s) away:

Good God. What a douche.

Was watching PowerPlay on CTV and Don Martin was speaking with a York U Prof who presented a really interesting scenario regarding Duffy's appointment to the Senate. First point is that it was very clear to the Prof that Duffy did not qualify as a 'resident' of PEI. He said that if Duffy was NOT eligible to have been appointed to the Senate, how could he be convicted of submitting the receipts for expenses he was never entitled to in the first place? Will the Judge void the appointment? Do they make him pay back wages too?


Justice Vaillancourt has his work cut out for him, that's for sure.

Brazeau appeared at Duffy's trial to day to observe - an unwelcome guest.

I can't imagine Duffy's legal team was thrilled with him showing up !
