Prime Minister Justin Trudeau didn’t want SNC-Lavalin to face criminal charges. That is as close as it comes to an undeniable fact in the ongoing Lavscam saga. And it looks like the PM is not getting his way.
The PM then must have been pretty peeved to learn that on Wednesday morning a Quebec court judge ruled that there’s enough evidence against the engineering firm for it to be tried on bribery and fraud charges.
So much effort to dodge trial, both on the part of SNC-Lavalin and the PMO. And all it’s really amounted to is egg on both their faces as the public watches this spectacle in disgust. If this was done in an individual case – someone trying for years to dodge the courts only to finally be dragged in kicking and screaming – we’d call it sad and pathetic. And it is.
