Canada PM facing tough times amid Senate scandal (VIDEO)

It's been a rough week for the man who heads Canada's government.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has attempted to distance himself from the seemingly ever growing senate scandal, where several senators, appointed by the premier himself have been caught using taxpayers' money for living expenses.

Analyst say Harper is experiencing his toughest times as Prime Minister.

This is while, he's not willing to touch on the subject before the media. But the Canadian public won't back down until their questions are answered. Last week, the prime minister's chief of staff Nigel Wright resigned in the midst of the most serious scandal to hit Harper in his seven years in office.

Wright's resignation came after reports said that he wrote a personal cheque to help Senator Mike Duffy pay back more than 90-thousand dollars in improperly claimed senate living expenses.
