There's a lot of posters using the word "corrupt". If that is in reference to SNC, I don't think it's the right word, only because that connotes personal gain (eg. SNC paid Trudeau kickbacks or something). It's clear he went across ethics boundaries by trying to convince a Minister to do something, but that didn't seem to be motivated by greed. It's either "saving Quebec jobs" if you're charitable or "winning Quebec votes" if you're not. Would we be complaining as much if he was phoning the Minister of Environment to try and convince him to impose a lesser penalty or remediation on a big oil sands project rather than shutting it down?
Or maybe I'm wrong and people are referring to something else?

He fired his Attorney general for not intervening in the independent office of prosecution. It is Nixon.
If he had in the end accepted the decision of the Attorney General then I would agree with you that the conversations weren’t ethical but in the realm of politics. But he didn’t. He moved her out of the way then fired her.
The key difference is the minister of environment isn’t supposed to be independent from government like the Attorney General is.
