SNC Lavalin paid 10 million to at least one government official to get a contract to build a half billion dollar hospital in Montreal. Being found guilty of offering that bribe would result in them being cut off from bidding on Canadian Government contracts for 10 years... That’s billion and billions in potential contracts... How much do you think they would bribe somebody to avoid that???
Trudeau’s leadership has been amateur hour from the get go, and his inability to understand that replacing a Justice minster who wasn’t playing ball and reducing or ignoring the charges against SNC Lavalin like he asked her to, and then moving her to veterans affairs in an obvious effort to keep her quite, wasn’t going to work... Is flabbergasting. When she quit, he blamed her for not telling him to stop influencing her... Like it was her fault.
The best part... He’s pissing the base of the Liberal party off... The audacity is astounding. Woman and Indigenous people typically vote liberal. Removing the first indigenous woman to hold the post of Justice minister in Canadian history was the latest amateur move that may result in his ouster.
That’s the difference between Canada and the US... We don’t elect a king for 4 years... We elect a government and the governing party chooses their leader. They can also remove their leader and if the Liberals don’t remove Trudeau... They are headed for oblivion at the polls.
The real hilarious part... The CBC has been doing full bore coverage of Trump paying off a porn star, gleefully hoping for Trump to be impeached. Meanwhile, our Prime Minister and their dear leader who they support wholeheartedly and his party have taken bribes from a construction company.
Which action sounds more criminal in your mind? Taking bribes, or paying off bimbos?
That’s the best part about Trump... Unlike Just not ready Trudeau... He can’t be bought, bribed or coerced. Apparently, neither can Jody Wilson-Raybould and that be all she wrote for our childish and amateurish Prime Minister.
“Which action sounds more criminal in your mind? Taking bribes, or paying off bimbos?”
Obviously the bribes, as that involves paying government officials to be corrupt and hand out huge amounts of taxpayer money to entities which may not be the best ones to do the work (or may well be the best ones, but that’s not the point). It’s easy to forget that Canada has about 10% of the US population, so $500M is closer to $5B if it happened in the US, and $10M to one person is closer to $100M in the US, and even Obama and Hillary would be hard-pressed to reach that level of corruption, particularly in just one transaction.
The probably with taking that amount of money, besides the fact that it’s illegal, is that it’s hard for the briber to hide a transaction of that size, so it will be noticed. In Trump’s case, it was chump change to him, and if Mueller hadn’t been rifling through HIS ATTORNEY’S records, no one would have even noticed.
If this dope-addled and abortion-loving fool goes down on the typical Quebec crookery it will be just deserts.
If it wasn’t SNC Lavalin it would be Bombardier !
I'm not sure if what you said here was tongue-in-cheek. If not, it's a dumb thing to say.

If the Clinton;s could get away with self-enrichment in America by golly the namesake of the First Family of Canada should certainly skate as well...
