Duffy's back! SUE-EE, SUE-EE, SUE-EE, PIGPIGPIG!!!

Good thing Ed. kept those file photos of the Honourable Senator Michael Duffy, Senator from Kanata. Having been found "not guilty" -- God knows how -- of 31 criminal charges of bribery, fraud, sloppy bookkeeping and general mopery, the erstwhile Conservative [ex-Conservative? Ed.] Senator from Kanata [Prince Edward Island, shurely. Ed.] has returned to the eye of the Canadian public with... and for... a vengeance.

Following what he likes to think was his vindication in April of 2016, the poster boy for greed returned to the trough [Canadian Senate, shurely. Ed.] and held out his sausage-like fingers for payment of his back pay, restoration of his pension, which he got, and whatever compensation the abashed senators would give him, which turned out to be none, nada, zero. Not only that, but he had to repay a paltry sum, a few thousand beaverbucks, for the expenses which his secretary [LMAO. Ed.] had wrongly claimed on his behalf.

It was obvious to all that the day would come when the Dishonourable Senator would get his revenge. The only question was when the size 12 shoe would drop. Yesterday turned out to be D-day, as in "D for Damages". Mr Puffy's lawyer, (((Lawrence Greenspon))) announced that he has filed a statement of claim in which the much-maligned senator is suing the Senate as well as the Attorney-General of Canada for a total of C$7.8 million (over $6 million in real money): $6.5 million in general damages, $300,000 for lost income and benefits and $1 million in punitive damages.

"General damages for what?", Canadian taxpayers want to know. For loss of enjoyment of life, loss of reputation (!!!), and mental and physical pain and suffering, says Attorney Greenspon. Specifically (the claim asserts) Mr Puffy suffered severe anxiety, depression, aggravation of his pre-existing heart condition, insomnia, nightmares, exacerbation of headaches and diabetes. Nothing is said about weight loss, possibly because the corpulent Conservative shows no signs of such.

All complaints of damages stem from the expense scandal of which he and two other Conservative-appointed senators were the central figures. Unlike the other two, however, only "ol' Duff" (as he likes to call himself) was dragged through lengthy hearings in the Senate, charges laid by the Mouonties, and a lengthy criminal trial. The basis of the Duffer's case is that he was denied justice under the Canadian Constitution and Charter of Rights. In particular, he whines ["claims", shurely. Ed.] that he was presumed to be guilty -- amazing though that may seem -- rather than innocent as was his right under the Constitution as well as Anglo-Canadian common law.

According to Agent 3, who has followed the persecution/prosecution of the Dishonourable Senator from Day 1, Mr Duffy may have a good case. He was turfed out of the Senate by vote of the Conservative majority, and had his salary and benefits cut off, before he was even charged with an offence, let alone convicted. Not that his reputation for probity or altruism was much to begin with, but it is clearly non-existent now. A snap poll published taken overnight shows a majority of Canucks of the opinion that even if the Duffer got screwed, he deserved it.

Will Senator Puffy get any money out of the Senate or A-G of Canada (read: Canadian taxpayers) for the wrongs, real and imagined, of which he complains? Omar Khadr, the notorious (and convicted) Islamic terrorist, got C$10.5 million from the Liberal wusses that now run the Canada's alleged government. It should be easy enough for Mr Duffy to walk away with a sum not unadjacent to half of what Mr Khadr got. Lifetime pct .990.
