Flail Duffy Season

Mike has learned that you can check out of the CBC, but you can never leave.  Once a year, the Media Party takes revenge on Duffy and anyone else who has seen the light and jumped ship.  Yesterday, Rex Murphy strongly suggested that he had no idea that Duffy had been living and working in Ottawa for the past thirty years.

Other media sleuths discovered that Mike has an Ontario health card and driver’s license.  My guess – Tom Mulcaire has the same and Prime Minister Harper likely lives in Ottawa too.

I’m also guessing that Duffy is carrying the cost of owning and maintaining a PEI residence only to satisfy Senate employment requirements.  Would you buy and maintain a house in order to get a job?  Mike did this for his country, and he has never been shy about his deep roots in PEI even though he has spent much of his adult life in Ottawa.

Mike Duffy is an ethical living Canadian icon.  Rex Murphy needs to slither back under a rock on the Rock.  My guess?  Rex is not too popular in Newfoundland, and he doesn’t like to admit that he too lives in Ottawa.
