Raitt on SNC-Lavalin: 'Where there's smoke there's fire'

[@andrewjissink4782]

It doesn’t matter how many jobs there is, what matters is the company broke the law and should be prosecuted! Also SNC is an international company and Canadian federal contracts are just a small part of their business! Not only that but I’m sure there are other Canadian companies that can take over for federal contracts

[@BenWeeks]

Even SNC's threat to move their HQ may have been a bluff to try and get themselves off the hook. If Jody had not been demoted, all would be forgiven. But now it's getting harder and harder to resolve if Trudeau is going to salvage his party. Trudeau pushed too hard just like he did on the floor of the house with elbow-gate.

Hey blondie, how about looking into the eyes of the 14,500 Canadians who lost their jobs in Alberta oil business. Is it because of Trudeau's fear of Carbon emissions and the immediate quest to find greener solutions ?? Then why the cash bailouts to Bombardier who produce carbon emissions producing machines??

You have no idea how "government" works right? If we were all privy of the info, we wouldn't have a democracy; it would decentralized and become socialisalist in nature. We elect our representatives to take care of our needs...that is their job. We don't need to know about all the ins and outs of what is going on. If you want to know what is happening, become a reporter, or get into politics and get a seat in government. The masses don't need to know everything that is happening.
