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?

I'd argue engaging in illegal activities to try to secure Quebec votes for his party so he can stay in power is a pretty big personal gain, so the word "corrupt" is used pretty accurately in this sense.
