This could be the end of Harper

I guess it starts tomorrow. Could very well do him in. JT must be giggling.

Duffy has nothing up his sleeve. All that is known is known. I don't think that this will cause the PM any grief.

I'm not expecting too many surprises - like wahoo has already pointed out, Duffy has already shown all his cards as he huffed and fumed his way through this. His threats to "take everyone down" are those of a desparate man.

Problem is it's a nose to nose horse race in this build up to the fall election. The press will have something to talk about that is negative every day. If the results of the Auditor General's audit of the Senate can be made public it will likely take some heat off Duffy and Walin as most of all Senators from both parties have treated the job as a Lottery win for years. I wonder who appointed the sitting Judge?

One thing for sure is that even though it has been suggested that Harper maybe called as a witness to testify, it will never happen. He will exercise parliamentary privilege. Can't imagine his handlers letting Duffy's lawyers taking him through a series of yes or no answer questions.

I'll bet the farm that the "i's" are dotted and the "t's" are crossed. The party threw those two under the bus a long time ago. Harper warned every person that there would be zero tolerance for misappropriation the day they were sworn in and,so far,he's stuck to his word. There's no reason to expect anything different. Look what happened to Bev Oda and Dean DelMastro and nothing ever came back to the PMO. This won't be any different.

This should be interesting, one audit says he is good, another says he owes $80,000, then one of the few guys in Canada that could write a cheque that size and not worry about it does.... then seemingly because it is Conservatives there is a huge fuss and after that a trial.

Then Justin Trudeau throws all the Liberal Caucus out.... all while...

and the CBC....

Expensing meals WHILE getting a $1500 living allowance....



One $10 mistake by the Conservatives will get hours on TV and there will be a non ending rant on CBC about Duffy that is for sure and no end of speculation designed by them to help the Liberals... or NDP... after all both have promised CBC millions more taxpayer dollars and their billion dollar scandals don't seem noteworthy.


If the Conservatives loose the fall election it would be a disaster for Canada's economy and Canadians in general (just look at what Liberals want to do in laws rolled backed, taxes,..) so hopefully Harper will win and also be looking at a replacement for the following election too.

With Trudough in Ottawa and Wynne in Queen's Park we would be royally screwed.

The funniest thing I heard in all of this is Duffy paid for a personal trainer. Now there's good tax money spend for no apparent outcome.

Dunno, I suspect people are finally cluing in. There are a lot of if's and buts but also starting to make hyy (on top of other issue's, like ISIS, his braincramps and more) is another fantastic faus paux by JT and the party behind him.


The liberals have launched an attack ad (gee funny that hiprocacy) attacking Harper for

a) Reducing OAS benefits....not even remotely true
b) raising the age from 65 to 67

In short, they trying a knock out punch and championing the middle class, and have left themselves wide open and the cons are raping him. Explaining the hard truth.

The with Boomers starting to retire, the strains on CPP/OAS are going to be huge.
When OAS was set up 1959 average life expectancy was 6-7 years (68), today its 18 years (80ish).

The "cost" are going to be immense.

Im not really worried about Canadians, though red Toronto could spell trouble. Ontario will be the swing vote.
