Good Riddance To Duffy

The stench associated with the Senator Mike Duffy saga continues to increase with each passing day. Duffy should have done the proper thing and resigned prior to Nigel Wright’s decision to leave. When many people are questioning the merits of having a Senate, Duffy’s actions in relation to claiming an allowance he was not entitled to simply undermines the significance of that institution. The notion of removing bad apples from the barrel is something that should not be ignored, particularly in those public organizations whose credibility is based on having the confidence of the people they serve. Duffy is one bad apple that needs to be removed now.
