Swindling Is In Its Very Nature.
The SNC-Lavalin scandal is world news and we do not at this time know how events will play out. What we do know is corruption and the bribery it engenders are part of the everyday functioning of capitalism all over the world -- in fact capitalism cannot function without it. We also know the expulsion of both Jody Wilson Raybould and Jane Philpot from the Liberal caucus are undemocratic and hypocritical. At the time of writing the company is doing all it can to avoid a criminal trial, though its efforts will probably be fruitless. Proprietary skytrains (that no where else uses...), monopoly P3 highways (guaranteed profits underwritten by the public...), and Bribes for Cheats: that’s the Lavalin life! It’s just another stupid sordid mess that capitalism by its very swindling nature is.
For socialism, Steve, Mehmet, John & contributing members of the SPC
