[elkhunter11]

The corruption continues.

Because consequences mean nothing in this world anymore, especially here in Canada. And even more so when that the biggest culprit is our current government.

The corruption just gives Trudeau name more air time. even bad air time is still air time it seems. How popularity grows.

[Scott N]

No one, and I mean absolutely no one, should be surprised. As a matter of fact, it seems that there are a certain percentage of Canadians that condone this type of thing.

[waldedw]

SNC is one of the biggest supporters and contributors to the federal liberals so why would anyone be surprised by this ????? the liberals run a dictatorship from ottawa, they did for the first 4 years in power and then ?? remember the people of canada elected them AGAIN

[zabbo]

Nothing to see here folks. Move along.

[CaberTosser]

Someone should be fired, obviously those tests that SNC failed were not properly rigged in their favor.....

[guysmiley]

The article states that their bid was chosen because it was cheaper... Of course it was cheaper, it didn't include 33% of what was required.

And once the project finishes it will be way over the budgets of the bids that did included everything.

But nobody will remember that at the time and the scam will just keep happening.

You nailed it.. there is a ton of corruption in just the bidding process, let alone all the big dollars that get put in a briefcase to hand out like candy to the upper echelon of deceit, corrupt, lying bunch of politicians !

But Justin just said it was Harper fault

[The Cook]

AHHHHHHHHH Make it stop.

[Trochu]

And the firms that weren't successful will no doubt sue, costing us more, as someone who didn't meet the qualifications was awarded the project.

I'm also disappointed by the various engineering association in Canada. A company that pleads guilty to fraud clearly does not meet the Code of Ethics of Engineers and should not be able to practice engineering in the country.

[Au revoir, Gopher]

It is the City of Ottawa not the federal government that we are talking about here. That said, how you get awarded a contract after failing all four technical categories is beyond me.

BTW, this is news from November.

The Canada Pension Plan owns 2.11% of SNC

Is there anyway that we can impeach the entire Canadian government?

Just in case you want to puke...
Look into the purchase of three 20 year old ice breaking anchor handling tug supply vessels by the Canadian Coast Guard from Swedish company Viking Supply
Open market value 45-60m USD
Purchased by Davie Ship CAD330m
Sold to the CCG 852m
Viking shareholders were delighted
Share price went from SEK 22 to SEK 187 overnight to SEK 214.50 a month later when the Swedes actually realised they had hooked the big one

Quote from "Seeking Alpha"
Prior to the Canadian deal, Viking was just a $27mm market cap company with only 21% floating. The stock's traded volume was only ~$10k a day and the free float was owned by retail investors or made up of tiny positions for institutions. The stock was/is so inefficient that it 'only' rose 13% in the remaining trading on the Friday afternoon of Aug. 10 after Viking issued a press release announcing the sale. The stock then opened up 'only' 42% on Monday, Aug. 13, before rising throughout the day to finish up 291%. Recent stock action suggests that many investors are choosing to take profits after a 715% gain.

As was posted a while ago when all the turmoil and bull crap and coverup came out someone noted that when it gets kinda swept under the carpet, per say, SNC would come out smelling like a rose and be granted with another contract. The carpet barely got lifted and guess what. Voila, merci suckers. Corruption and scandalism is alive and thrive. We new it would happen. Wonder who will get the bonus for this contract? Oh ya us...….bend over cause they gonna bonus

Thank you for making me spit my drink on my keyboard!

[glen moa]

But they had to save the jobs.

[Grumpy Old Man]

Cheaper on the contract but wait for the Cost Plus/Change orders to start flowing in then see the total screwing Canada is getting again from the these guys.

For a contract decision made by a municipality? Or do you believe that the federal government is in charge of the bid process for a city LRT line?

Then again, do you honestly believe that the federal government and the PM, had zero influence on a contract in our capital?

I need to correct you on this, No the Canadian people did not vote Trudeau in. Eastern Canada voted him in as that side of the Country holds the most seats. If you look at the numbers the Conservative candidate won the popular vote, or got the most votes. Because of how our system if flawed in favour of the East they decide the election. Every person in Western Canada (Manitoba to BC ) could vote and the East still decides who wins. Until that is fixed we will end up in this mess every time.

If there was a fix that was available to us westerners, what would that be? How can we change anything, I’m not jumping down your throat by any means here.. just curious as to what can we do. I’ve been wondering this for a long time now and everybody I talk to say it’s not worth the hassle involved that’s why no fix... me on the other hand agree with you and think it’s time to find a fix..separating is the first thing that I think of.. yet that is not the way as it would turn out bad for everyone I think.. so any other ways?

A sort of separation. Like qeeebec is pulling. The road is paved, we just have to get moving down it. All out new country would definitely present some big problems. Become the 51 st state is also a possibility. Not my first choice, but I think it sure would catch some attention in Ottawa!

Did you guys even read the article?

It was a decision made by the CITY of Ottawa.

Screw it, go back to sleep.

Well we all know that about 75% or more of the funding for that project will come from the fed's, anyone that thinks for one minute that the feds didn't have some input and guidance into the decision to choose SNC doesn't need to go back to sleep..... they need to wake up.

You know the input and guidance and advise that JT and his band of merry men tried to bestow upon Judy Wilson Raybould a couple years ago regarding prosecution of SNC ????
