In Canada we were told that putting execs in jail would "hurt jobs" and we had to pass a law that said they just get a fine instead.

The execs in question were caught selling hookers to Qaddafi's son.

Do you have any more info on that particular story? Research purposes.

Search for SNC-Lavalin + Saadi Gadhafi, you'll get a lot of hits, for many different things. SNC-Lavalin was such a corrupt firm. Still are, most likely, though they changed name to AtkinsRéalis.

(To note : a few high positioned people got sent to prison over the years, but I don't know enough about this particular case to know what really happened.)

Before this, I afraid Justin Trudeau was privileged elite, born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

After what he did to Jody Wilson-Raybould, I knew Justin Trudeau was a out of touch tone deaf, nepo baby. Truly he was never able to relate to us Canadian "normies".
