[From comments on CBC story yesterday]

Duffy complaining about losing a nice cushy government pay cheque is tawdry. The man is retired, did he not plan for his elder years? Oh and please stop using the heart card, it doesn't play, as from his portly appearance one can guess that the man has not taken the time to participate in heart health rehabilitation. That included walking 3 miles at least 5 times a week.
