"Awards and hon...About Mike Duffy, from Wiki: <br />"Awards and honours<br />In 1986 he won an ACTRA Award for live television reporting, for his coverage of a terrorist attack on the Turkish Embassy in Ottawa. In 1994, Duffy was inducted into the Canadian Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame.<br /><br />Duffy has received honorary degrees from his alma mater, the University of Prince Edward Island, as well as Wilfrid Laurier University and from Niagara University in Niagara Falls, New York. He has been a visiting fellow at Duke University, in Durham, North Carolina, and has been twice nominated for the "best in the business" award by the Washington Journalism Review."<br /><br />Because they do not agree with his politics, his critics now choose to denigrate him.<br /><br />His response to MP Stoffer may not have been very elegant, but Stoffer was impugning his honesty. I don't know how many of us would have kept our cool under those circumstances.<br /><br />But then, it's always the same old story. The lefties feel quite justified in hurling all manner of insults and accusations at their opponents, but let anyone dare respond to them in kind, oh my! It's crying time!<br /><br />Hey! Crying time!
