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?

You're missing the component of the massive donations that SNC Lavalin has pumped into the Liberal Party including a illegal donation.


You're also forgetting that SNC Lavalin pretty much designed and encouraged the Libs to put the DPA's into the omnibus bill.


It wasn't about jobs because there was little chance of job loss, SNC had a ton of back fill work.
