In honour of Mike Duffys accepting of the Prime Ministers now-former Chief of Staff Nigel Wrights cheque, cartoonist Dan Murphy proposes that the Bank of Canada introduce this new $90,000 Duffybuck.

I think this should be fought in court, and if it can't be won--easily--then Canada has a problem. Anyone who seriously thinks that bit-o-humor looks like a real banknote needs to put the crack pipe down.
This charge is like something that should be--ha ha ha literally--laughed out of court.

(5,756 posts)I truly do not understand some of these people. Now that they've made it a news story by trying to censor it it will likely be seen by far more people than it would have otherwise. Just like when Rick Perry ranted about the editorial cartoon in the Sacramento Bee. More people saw that cartoon because of his rant than ever would have if he'd kept his stupid yap shut. Same will happen with this.

It says 90,000
It has Mike Duffy's picture on it
It has a hologram of Nigel Wright
It smells like pork (instead of, as is rumoured, maple syrup).
I'd like to see them try to take this one to court. Harper would put a stop to that! And of course deny any knowledge or involvement...
