next election of getting SNC Lavelin out of trouble by saying the government will have new legislation on corporations, legally deviding themselves so they can bid on contracts around the world that require graft and, through another legal entity, bid on contracts around the world where graft would not be allowed. Because the world is being divided up by the two. And who wants to only trade with half the world. Trump's first foreign policy decision was to not force US corporations to impose US "values" on their business overseas. Just spitballing.
(Later) he is denying what happened constituted pressure on the then attorney general. He is talking about jobs. Jobs jobs jobs.

(20,287 posts)but even with such a strategy, I think Trudeau sinks like a stone. He came into office with his "Sunny Ways," and a promise that government doesn't have to be corrupt. This isn't the world's biggest scandal but it's a dark cloud. He was a moral high ground sort of candidate and PM up until this affair.
Andrew Scheer is on the screen trying to capitalize on this scandal right now, calling on Trudeau to resign. I hate the thought that he could come to power as a result of this.
