The Iron Rose posted:Giving SNC-Lavalin a free pass is absolutely the correct decision from an economic and security standpoint. Alternately: Whatever important 20k jobs and services they provide that would be considered a national security issue get nationalized and all the C-level gets thrown in prison. Fine them hundreds of millions of dollars and use that to set up those important services at a new company with the same low level employees.

Eej posted:You're literally arguing that once a company is big enough they get to engage in morally reprehensible behaviour like bribing their way into building prisons for the Gaddafi regime and because money is the most important thing they should get away with it. If you read carefully I'm actually arguing the exact opposite. Nowhere did I say that SNC-Lavalin should escape consequences for its behaviour. Nowhere did I say Trudeau's interference with the AG was okay. I'm explaining why it happened, not defending it. Nuance is not the enemy my friend. E: I don't think barring SNC Lavalin from government contracts will be a good thing for Canada. I do think it should happen anyways. Is that more clear?

The Iron Rose posted:Trudeau hosed up pretty bad with the SNC-Lavalin mess. The company is a massive employer in Quebec and a loss of government contracts for 10 years will cost tens of thousands of jobs, and opens the company up to foreign exploitation and control, so there's a bit of a natsec issue there too. The Liberal government instituted a mechanism for companies that have been convicted of paying bribes that allows them to make an apology and pay a fine but doesn't come with the freeze-out of government contracts. I don't know about the movers and shakers in government contracting world in Canada, but giving a company a pass after being convicted of paying bribes is a dumb as gently caress decision.

The amount of people at my yard who want someone to shoot Trudeau is staggering. Chud mania is alive and kicking and liberals are gonna lose this election if Trudeau stays as liberal leader. Their only chance is Trudeau not seeking re-election, or a Jack Layton strong NDP but lol at that (and RIP to Jack) Edit: lol we're all gonna die https://twitter.com/AnthonyAdragna/status/1101173601754058753?s=19 Hot Karl Marx fucked around with this message at 00:16 on Mar 2, 2019 |

Probably faster to threaten them and hope they comply than to actually subpoena from the get go, since the latter will end up stuck in court. psydude fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Mar 2, 2019 |

EBB posted:Talking point for next senatorial election: "I took action on climate change in Congress!" This is actually a smart move because it being so simple and uncontroversial means no one can weasel out of their position being on record? Republicans either have to admit on record climate change is real and we need to act... or go on the record as claiming it's not real.

It is a wedge into the door. Much like how "conservatives" insert things that look like nothing but actually chip away at things like abortion and birth control.
