Senator Mike Duffy took a back exit through a Halifax hotel kitchen last night as he declined to answer reporters’ questions about his claims for living allowances for an Ottawa residence.
The former broadcaster told a journalist to do “adult work” such as writing on energy issues, as walked away.
Opposition M-P’s are questioning whether the senator’s primary residence is a cottage in Cavendish, P-E-I, as he has repeatedly stated.
The Senate is currently auditing its members to ensure they live where they say they do.
The inquiry came as a Postmedia report in December said Duffy spends the majority of his year in his Ottawa house, yet has claimed more than $33,000 in living allowances since 2010.
Duffy was in Halifax to give the keynote address to the Maritime Energy Association and used the occasion to suggest the public focus on economic development and not – quote – “other issues.”

There is no exuse for what that slug did, he stold from the tax payers.
Not only he should be kicked out of the senate but he should spend time
in the can for 55 years and get a life time ban form all those all you can eat
buffet restaurants for $5.00.
There should be no reason is to why Jordi Morgan can not open the phone
lines to that toad the next time he is on Maritime Morning and ask any question
as we see fit in why he stold from the tax payers.
What’s up with all these Bad Boys in the Senate? I don’t like it.
And what have they done for us lately?
In what province does Senator Duffy files his income taxes?
Duffy avoided the press because he knows that he is doing wrong by exploiting a loophole to get undeserved money to line his pockets.
Oh how Mike Duffy has changed. While a reporter, he fed off government officials receptions, fund raisers and an expense account, off the books stuff. Now he is feeding directly from Canadians and loving every minute. Everyone in politics and associated with politics is just there to see how much they can get from the taxpayer, not to do service.
So Mikey, trying to interview a non-demoncratically elected spoiled fatboy about his living allowances is not “adult work”? hmmmm, that is laughable!!
Duffy is stealing from the Canadian taxpayers
In my opinion, he is nothing but an overfed, greedy, crook in office. So typical of him to sneak out through the kitchen…..probably grabbed a cart of desserts on the way out.
