Perhaps the numbers are bigger? The sponsorship scandal was $355 million dollars of taxpayer money going to dubious projects run by Liberal friendly organizations who then donated generously to the party.
The Duffy thing is over the chief of staff in the PMO writing a $90,000 dollar cheque from the CPC to a senator who felt his expenses were justified, for which a trial is now underway to seek out any wrongdoing.
Yes, fraud is fraud 100% of the time much as the trinity and the czar bomb are both nuclear tests, just on a different scale. (In this example the Liberal sponsorship scandal is the czar bomb)
