Mike Duffy threw shade at Trebek J! back in 1984

Is this the same Mike Duffy who was implicated in the Canadian Senate expenses scandal?

No. Longtime Detroit Free Press TV critic, who did cause a bit of a stir when he announced ahead of time that Chuck Forrest had won the TOC.

So apparently he stopped hating the show by season two?

Sounds like the kind of thing a hater would do. Any TV critic worth a lick would know when the show was airing and have the courtesy to not run spoilers until after it aired.

Did a quick check of newspapers.com for any other first-week reviews of J!, and couldn't find any (Duffy's piece did run in a bunch of papers -- looks like the one above came from the Des Moines Register).
I did, though, find this great long piece about early auditions, which as far as I can tell, only ran in the San Diego County edition of the L.A. Times.
