The Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is finished. A long simmering scandal did him in.<\/p>\n

Between 2001 and 2011 the Canadian construction and engineering company SNC-Lavalin bribed officials in Libya with tens of millions to get contracts in that country. In 2015 the company was charged by the Public Prosecution Service of Canada. It tried to avoid a trial and argued instead for a negotiated settlement since it had cleaned shop by changing its chief executive officer.<\/p>\n

The company lobbied the Liberal government which brought in a remediation agreement regime in 2018 as part of a massive budget bill.<\/p>\n

During the fall of 2018 Trudeau and his allies tried to press the attorney general, a Canadian aboriginal, to overturn the decision of the director of public prosecutions, to apply the new law and to thereby drop the criminal charges against SNC. She would not do that. In January Trudeau fired…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
