I am assuming it's illegal in Canada too. Just because it's someone we like doesn't make it a right right plot.

When she wouldn't play ball, he demoted her.

which operates worldwide. From what I have read, it did nothing that other very large companies haven't done and are still doing in other countries.

The company employs thousands of Canadians and is a vital part of the Canadian economy so what this really comes down to is a battle between the economy and morality. But because there's a federal election in the fall, the other parties - even though one of them (the Conservative Party) lobbied on behalf of SNC Lavalin -- are hitching their wagons to this "scandal" in an effort to discredit the Liberal Party.

The PMO tried to subvert the course of justice by interfering directly in the investigation and trial. If SNC is found guilty, they will not be able to bid on any Canadian government contract for 9 years. It's interesting that they are being defended when, if it was a RW government in power doing the same thing, the Liberals would be screaming for blood. No company, irregardless of political friendship, should be above the law and any political party interfering in the legal process should be held accountable.

have their day in court & let justice rule. I'm against any government, left or right, strong arming justice. Doing biz while Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi was in charge probably is the deciding factor when it comes to pursuing this case. Like its been mentioned, many multi national corps do this as many governments they deal with are corrupt but it doesn't make it right.

Cuz, you know, we don't have any of our own!

under the radar.

Probably a helluva lot more quickly and effectively than we'll work out ours! Sorry, but when the very survival of my own country is up in the air, I tend to lose my enthusiasm for applying the white-glove treatment to other nations.

I'm a Liberal/NDP voter, generally, and I loathe the idea of the Conservative party taking control.

But we can't let this go.

The only problem is that the Conservative leader just spoke at a rally with those yellow-vest assholes in attendance. That's where we're going if they win the next election.

Trudeau were to step down?

There's not a lot of time for the Liberal party to have a leadership race before campaigning for the general election kicks off. And Trudeau won't resign. He's still very popular in Quebec (in particular due to his stance with SNC Lavalin) and it is likely he'll weather this storm. It's going to hurt him in other provinces, though.

But we have these yellow-vest racists and a whole lot of fake grassroots groups (Ontario Proud, Alberta Proud) telling us how he loves terrorists, wants open borders, cares more illegal immigrants than Canadian veterans etc. etc.
