The irony about the Senate uproar fairly screams. Duffy & Wallin were products of the media and their current mess is a direct result of the social media. It must be particularly painful for Pamela to see her carefully-laid long-term plans to head up the Senate lying in ruins.

It was all about him, not them. He wanted all the credit.<br /><br />And in a moment of wisdom, when talking about politics, he said: "While you're saving your face, you're losing your ass."<br /><br />That's just what is happening in Ottawa and Toronto, today, right now!

I think he can only be fired if he fits a few limited categories. Being broke or convicted of a felony are two of them.

The Mayor had claimed an expense of $56 for hospitality during a two-year period; beer money it's often called.<br /><br />If the sanctimonious Mr. Ballard had to deal with the present federal and provincial cock-ups he might have expired by now.
