SNC-LAVALIN SCANDAL MET WITH SHRUG FROM PQ

   Throughout English Canada, especially Ontario, most columnists, editorialists and letters-to-the-editor are outraged and practically crazed about the PM’s behaviour.
  They’ve demanded he resign, “dissolve Parliament” and call “immediate elections.” They speak of the “worst scandal since the 1873 Pacific (rail) Scandal” and talk of feeling “embarrassed” for Canada on the world stage.
    Meanwhile, here in Quebec, the whole affair has been greeted with a collective shrug. Yes, Trudeau badly mismanaged events and communicated like a marionette — but more out of “amateurism” and “maladroitness” than malice, say most opinion-writers.
