Mike
Duffy
SAD DAY FOR
MARGARET MIKE
FRANKLAND CONDOLENCES TO SENATOR
MIKE DUFFY FOR THE LOSS OF HIS
MOTHER, LILLIAN BERNADETTE DUFFY,
WHO DIED IN THE CHARLOTTETOWN HOSPI-
TAL ON NOV. 28 AT 93.
Exactly 10 years and 57 days before his mother’s
death, Mike Duffy stood on Parliament
Hill, his future retirement home, and blasted
Maggie Trudeau so hard she “collapsed on
her knees ... her body heaving with sobs,” as
Toronto Star’s William Walker reported.
It is hard to think of another moment in Canadian
journalism as cruel as when Duffy reminded
Margaret of her dead son — “This was
Misha’s birthday,” was the heartless phrase
from that fat, obnoxious mouth — as she stood

beside her late husband’s coffin.
Never one to suffer fools gladly, Pierre Elliott
Trudeau once took particular relish in humiliating
him, long before the Puffster grew into an
absolute caricature of a TV newsman.
I’m told it was during an election stop-over in
Moncton, when the prime ministerial hopeful
was on a train that started pulling away from
the station.
In the version I heard, reporter Puffster arrived
seconds too late and Trudeau took great
delight in leaning out the window and yelling,
“Run, fatso, run!”
Duffy has 10.5 years left in the Upper Chambers
until his mandatory retirement at 75, drawing
$132,300-per. At that rate, the Duffster will
collect nearly $1.4 million from taxpayers, if
he finishes his term.
ADVENTURES
IN TAXPAYING
BY DAN WALSH
AN EPIC DAVID & GOLIATH BATTLE IS
SHAPING UP BETWEEN POOR LITTLE DE-
FENCELESS TAXPAYERS AND THE PHILIS-
TINE GIANT OF THE SOUTH SHORE, FRANK
ANDERSON.
A colossus among men, deposed czar of the
South West Shore Development Authority
and Yarmouth Area Industrial Commission
kingdoms, Frank is out to recapture taxpayer
dollars, by slapping
his mortal enemies
the N-Dipper
government and country
bumpkin cabinet
minister Percy Paris
with a libel lawsuit.
By some unprecedented
quirk of fate,
the N-Dippers are now
ruling over us taxpayers,
and serve as
guardians of our public
purse. Lord help us
all.
It remains to be seen
if government forces
Frank Anderson
can marshall the courage to stand up to Frank’s
formidable attack.
No doubt Frank (no relation) has his own legion
of followers, particularly among the powerful
Tory old-boys clique in Yarmouth, who
have already declared jihad on Percy The Cat-
Killer and demolished the local N-Dipper tribe.
In the Dipper war room in Halifax, supreme
leader Darrellolai Dexterovich may be fearful
of the political damage that a sustained war
with Frank would cause.
War is costly, and regional unrest may break
out. Would Sterling Belliveau’s Fortress
Shelburne be vulnerable to a fifth-column of
Frank’s allies? General Dan O’Connor-
O’Dempsey is likely advising Dexterovich to
proceed with caution.
In the end, instead of protecting poor defenceless
taxpayers, our spineless N-Dippers may
decide to run and hide, and simply pay off Frank
to return to his Register.com Bat-cave and
live out the rest of his days in luxurious silence.
I’ve heard suggestions that Frank, who I’m
told earned between $95,000-100,000-per, is
willing to settle for a sum in the ballpark of
$400,000.
The first casualty of government is always
the taxpayer, eh? Like lambs to the slaughter...
