It's seems the Tories are taking every chance they get these days to jab at Liberal leader Justin Trudeau.

But maybe this one from Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney is a little too soon.

On Thursday afternoon, just a day after the savage attack in London where two men — in an alleged terror attack — hacked a British soldier to death on the streets of London, Kenney tweeted these two doozies:

I hope Justin Trudeau et al don't think the obscene act of hateful violence in the UK was due to "someone who feels completely excluded."

After Boston, Mr. Trudeau said "our approach has to be, OK, where do those tensions come from?" Should we have same approach to UK attack? — Jason Kenney (@kenneyjason) May 23, 2013

Kenney is referring to Trudeau's 'root cause' argument that he made shortly after the Boston Marathon bombings last month. Trudeau had argued that the bombings happened because there was someone who felt "completely excluded."

Conservative Senator Marjory LeBretonA Conservative senator is accusing Ottawa journalists of "hyped-up media stories" in relation to the current spending scandal dogging the upper chamber.

In her defence of the Harper government's handling of the Senate expense scandal on Wednesday, Marjory LeBreton, leader of the government in the Senate, took a couple of jabs at Canada's media.

"I am not surprised," she said about all the attention focused on the Conservative senators.

"I am a Conservative and I know more than most that around this town populated by Liberal elites and their media lickspittles, tut-tutting about our government and yearning for the good old days that we are never given the benefit of the doubt and are rarely given credit for all the good work that we do.

"I repeat, the change the Conservative majority initiated in the Senate by informing the public on a quarterly basis just exactly what their senators are spending has finally shone the light where it has never shone before. Had we not done this, there would

NDP leader Thomas MulcairThe recent Senate expense scandal seems to have buoyed the NDP into relaunching their 'abolish the senate' campaign with renewed vim and vigour.

On Wednesday morning, NDP leader Thomas Mulcair held court in front of the Senate chambers announcing the "Roll up the red carpet" petition:

"We’re going to stop trying to find excuses for keeping a bunch of party hacks, bagmen, political operatives and defeated candidates sitting in appeal of the decisions of the duly elected members of the House of Commons," Mulcair said according to Maclean’s.

The website where the petition is housed has clearly had a lot of work put into it, which will likely translate into the NDP getting thousands of signatures. It includes the following captions:

- After a budget boost from Stephen Harper, the Senate will cost Canadians $92,500,000 this year.

- The average senator worked just 71 days last year

- 51 of the 59 senators appointed by Stephen Harper donated to the Conservative Party

He did it on another continent, but he finally did it.

While on an official visit to Peru, Prime Minister Stephen Harper took questions from reporters about the Senate expense scandal that has dominated headlines and plagued his government for the past several days.

According to the news reports, Harper said that he was "sorry" that his chief of staff personally funded Duffy’s repayment of more than $90,000 in improperly-claimed living expenses.

"I learned of this after stories appeared in the media last week speculating on the source of Mr. Duffy's repayments," Harper said, according to the Canadian Press.

"Immediately upon learning that the source was indeed my chief of staff, Nigel Wright, I immediately asked that that information be released publicly. That is what I knew.

"I was not consulted, I was not asked to sign off on any such thing. Had I obviously been consulted, more importantly I would not have agreed, and it is obviously for those reasons that I accepted Mr. Wright's

In a statement released on Wednesday afternoon, Duffy said that he welcomes a second review of his expenses by the Senate's internal economy board.

"Canadians deserve to know all of the facts. I am confident that when they do they will conclude, as Deloitte (the auditor) has already concluded, that my actions regarding expenses do not merit criticism," he said.

"I intend to co-operate fully with the Board and with all other authorities. and will have no further public comments until those processes are complete."

Duffy resigned from the Conservative caucus last Thursday after the Prime Minister's Office admitted that Nigel Wright, Stephen Harper's chief of staff, personally funded Duffy’s repayment of more than $90,000 in improperly-claimed living expenses. There are also reports suggesting that Duffy earned senate allowances while campaigning for the Tories

An enterprising Prince Edward Island man has decided to make some lemonade out of Mike Duffy's lemons.

Put more clearly, Llloyd Kerry has designed a new T-shirt — with the slogan 'Stuff the Duff' — inspired by fellow Islander Mike Duffy's recent troubles with regard to improperly-claimed living expenses and a $90,000 cash gift from the prime minister's chief of staff.

"I look at it as a funny way to protest," Kerry, a lab technician, told Yahoo! Canada News.

"People aren't going to march in Ottawa with picket signs saying dump Duffy. But this way they can voice their displeasure in a humourous way but still get the point across."

The T-shirts are $20 plus a couple of bucks postage depending on where you live. Shirts can be purchased via Kerry's Facebook page.

This is Kerry's second venture in the apparel business.

What would 2005 Stephen Harper say about the antics of his government today?

You'll recall that Harper was elected on a platform deeply soaked in rhetoric about transparency and accountability.

On Tuesday morning, that Stephen Harper was no where to be seen.

In an address to his caucus, Harper said that he wasn't happy with the recent Senate scandals and that he would work with his Senate leadership to fast track new expense rules.

And yes, during his 10 minute speech he did use the word 'accountability' 8 times.

But when it came to walking the talk, Harper fell short.

He didn't mention Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin or Nigel Wright, the three figures — that he handpicked — at the centre of the scandal.

He failed to say anything about the $90,000 gift that his now-former Chief of Staff Wright gave to Duffy. He didn't say whether or not the PMO had a hand in whitewashing the Senate report about Duffy, as reported by CTV

Stephen Harper has made what was probably one of the most important speeches during his tenure as prime minister.

On Tuesday morning, Harper addressed his caucus amid the ongoing Senate expense scandal that has dominated headlines and social media over the past week.

"I don't think any of you are going to be very surprised to hear that I'm not happy," he said.

"I'm very upset about some conduct we witnessed, the conduct of some Parliamentarians and the conduct of my own office."

Harper spent a lot of time touting his government's actions in strengthening accountability rules since coming into office in 2006. He had this message for his MPs and Senators in the audience.

"As I said in the room across the hall in the Fall of 2005, when we first pledged to bring in the federal accountability act ... no government will be perfect because none of us are perfect,'" he said.

"Let me repeat something else I said in that same
