Duffy: Accountability Test For Harper?

When you see the content of debate that occupies Americans, it's hard to get excited about Mike Duffy.

Here we worry about stuff that doesn't have much of an international impact and in Quebec we actually waste breath, time and energy talking and arguing fucking languages and how to suppress one on top of another.

No wonder many Canadians are found on American publications joining in on their conversations.

What's been a thorough nuisance is hearing about Duffy complain about his $132 000 salary.

Fuck me.

Anyway, if an investigation does indeed show wrong doing, Harper knows (or at least should know) what to do.

From The Star:

"The one-time Conservative cheerleader is now the poster boy for the filth which envelops the party brand."

Perhaps, but I think it's worth noting that this is really only the first 'bombshell'  under Harper's conservatives who are arguably nowhere near the filth-levels of the Liberals.

However, Harper needs to stand up and account for this. He promised accountability and now he must deliver. I agree an investigation is needed just to get some answers. He's already come up short on the fiscal side of things (despite Canada's decent economic performance) by spending more than any government in history.

Of course, the opposition parties will jump on this and make it seem bigger than it is (it's their job) while this may be the scandal liberals have been waiting for to pile on Harper.

Hey, a rational and reasonable request for an investigation?

American liberals should take a lesson from us! I've been less than impress with their incredible grasping at straws in downplaying the IRS and Benghazi scandals. It's irrational to not want to know what happened. Witness some dolt on the radio or tv who blamed the IRS scandal on the GOP because of the sequester cuts. In his mind, the IRS was severely strained thus leading to their actions. I know. No sense.

At least up here we're a little more clearminded - I think.
