    OECD... SNC-Lavalin scandal...Canada...violated international anti-bribery agreement?

    Watched CTV roast PM Justin... saying Great Britain would refuse to use DPA on a case such as SNC... because the bribery and corruption charges are so serious... the DPA would be an inappropriate use... Great Britain has only the used DPA 3 times in history... and then only for minor breaches of criminal law... Commentator said;
    DPA DOA in SNC-Lavalin scandal criminal charges.
    Therefore,
    The simple fact is... the PM must set aside the continuance of threatening using the DPA to stop the SNC criminal trials. THE RULE of LAW being set aside for political gain for the Liberals... is the DPA's problematic inappropriate application.


    The Chinese have sanctioned Canada in numerous ways... Western Canadian Canola growers feel the heat of this political scandal raging internationally...costing us farmers and trade...jobs and serious financial hardship...

    Background
    National Post:
    "OECD announces it is monitoring SNC-Lavalin scandal, raising prospect Canada has violated international anti-bribery agreement
    'The OECD Working Group on Bribery... notes that the Canadian authorities stress that they are transparent and independent'"
    https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/oecd-announces-it-is-monitoring-snc-lavalin-scandal-raising-prospect-canada-has-violated-international-anti-bribery-agreement

    ..."As a party to the anti-bribery convention Canada is committed to requiring “prosecutorial independence in foreign bribery cases,” according to the statement. “In addition, political factors such as a country’s national economic interest and the identity of the alleged perpetrators must not influence foreign bribery investigations and prosecutions.”

    If either investigation in Canada or the OECD itself were to conclude that Canada violated the convention, the group would make a series of recommendations on how to improve.“

    Well here is an idea just a thought. How about when people commit crimes no matter who they are or who they work for they pay the price legally. If you want to ensure people have jobs at a company lock the people up in jail that commit such crimes, publicly humiliate them so that other companies don’t do this. Instead of protecting them so that other companies think hey what the hell why not.

    Outlaw campaign contributions already its legalized bribery going on everywhere which is distorting democracy. My and your vote don’t mean shit now days compared to companies that buy off political parties. Which is why we have these stupid laws in place. All large donations that have been made to political parties in the past should be played over and over on tv for several days federal and provincial and then people would realize who their governments are actually representing. Also need to go further and monitor under the table deals happening when politicians leave office.

    If a company’s officials have been found guilty and the people done the time for the penalty and replaced terminated why should the company be denied applying for contracts after? Individuals have to take responsibility for their actions not hide behind large corporations and be protected just because they are big Corp.

    who ever brought this corrupt law into existence should be replaced also. It’s an embarrassment for our country.

      The reason other countries are paying attention is that libtards said other countries have these DPAs in their toolbox but they point out not for the SNC issues.....and I think because of the charges SNC had laid on them ...a DPA wasn't available in the first place....


      It makes other countries look stupid by using them as justification......

      And now Trudeau has some more international headlines....he likes those....

        The Big Wheelie has finally realized that national and international opinion is swinging against the Libranos - he's changed his tune to stay with the tide!

        He's starting to come around to Harper's thinking when the Harper government put that law into place, LOL!

          Tom, can you provide any evidence to link the Chinese canola dispute to the SNC Lavalin scandal?

            Not changing anything. All of our laws are too slack. From pot to this issue. Then we wonder why crime rates are going up. I m just telling the way it is now I m telling how I think it should be.
            All governments are doing what trudough is doing. The cons are running around so smug that he got caught and all of a sudden jwr and the other airheads are hero’s. Well just watch those heroes didn’t get enough for their causes so they squeeled. Why didn’t they leave the party? Because now they’ll get even more for their cause and cons will be wiped out. Sad but true.

              How has the the legalization of marijuana changed your life or the life of anyone around you? The Conservatives should have beat Trudeau with the deregulation. We wouldn’t have a Trudeau government now. I just heard an athlete describing how marijuana oil for pain killing is replacing opiate use in the locker rooms. Police forces have reported no increase in DUI’s nor accidents due to Marijuana. Have crime rates gone up because of legalization of Marijuana?

                The justice system has often been lenient when it comes to white collar crime. If you are rich and powerful you are less likely to go to jail. If you are poor and a minority the opposite is true.

                Right here in Saskatchewan Bill Boyd and the GTH land transfer scandal are an example of alleged corruption involving a sitting government.

                No charges laid in GTH land deal investigation: RCMP

                  Doctors use fentanyl for pain relief when setting bones. I thought it was addictive. Very small amount, it’s cheap. Still makes me wonder.

                    And they will likely get re-elected....really haven't done much in 4 years...would be nice to see a little fire in the belly from our MLAs about the carbon tax on cardlock fuel....really disappointing...

                    They could be showing clips where the prime minister said no carbon tax on farm fuel....

                      Tom4$$$$$4Tom and Burnt

                      Why did 2.0 Andrew Scheer meet on May 29, 2018 with SNC CEO Neil Bruce to discuss the DPA.

                      Why is Scheer not going on record stating that there should be no DPA made available for SNC. Where are Scheer's almighty Con morals? Tom4$$$4Tom, Scheer doesn't seem to agree with your post.

                      2.0 isn't using the same logic as your's for on one simple reason, Scheer doesn't want to lose votes in Quebec.

                      So boys why is Scheer not on the same page. Simple answer, none of them really give a shit about anything other then getting in power!

                        As has been pointed out they can all lobby once maybe twice to explain their case....it becomes inappropriate to continue....

                        Anyone with half a brain wouldn't touch this file other than to smile politely ....

                        the rest of the world is concerned where Trudeau is going with this....might be jeopardizing his gig at the UN.

                          You know something, if you want an answer for something that somebody did, would it not make the most sense to go ask that person?

                          Have you called Scheer's office to ask that question? Didn't think so.

                          As far as what the Conservative are doing about it, they just might be doing the best thing possible - when your enemy is making a mistake, let him.

                          The Libranos are doing a fine job of hanging themselves, so why interfere?

                          And now, their corruption has attracted the unwelcome attention of OECD - it couldn't be going better for Scheer and Co., without them putting any effort into it!

                          The Libranos have written the script for their own failure, and Harper's legislation worked perfectly.

                            How about PM Justin use a DPA to send back the Huawei executive lady directly from Vancouver to China?

                            Does anyone actually believe our western Canadian Chinese Canola issue isn’t directly caused by the Huawei lady being attempted to be extradited to the US... and if President Trump is willing to consider political solutions to the Huawei problem...why would the Chinese do anything less?
