I think you'll find no one in Canada that this comes as a surprise to.

Well, I for one am absolutely shocked. I thought the P.M. was going to be so open and honest with our taxpayers dollar! Didn't he come to us riding a white horse, from the hallowed land of the National Citizens Coalition, on a Holy Crusade against the waste of even ONE penny of our hard earned taxes. I am crestfallen.

At this point I'm starting to consider starting our own CKA party. It'd be a fresh start for Canada and I'm pretty sure most of us would be happy enough with the average mp salary that it would take years for corruption to set in.

Also, I'd pay good money to see Thanos going red-faced during question period.

I've been missing something here right from the start.

1- Duffy claimed money he wasn't entitled to.

2- The money is repaid from a personal bank account.

3- Who gives a shit who knew and when?

4- Duffy should man-up and leave quietly.

I'm assuming that'd be hell, especially if I were allowed to take part,

I bore them into comas with semi-ancient idealistic ramblings, then you guys take the Hill!

I've i-Known you a few years and I bet you'd turn out to be boringly pragmatic in power.
