History has shown us and it keeps showing us principles are great as long as they don't get in the way of business.
For example why was it that Trudeau decided to "just let [it] slip" when it came to the SNC-Lavalin corruption investigation?

- gpm 6y agoTrudeau was, rightly (to the extent that he was involved/aware), lambasted for that decision...
- jussij 6y agoHowever, at least for me, that then taints the credibility of Trudeau and the government he leads. I have idea if the claims against Huawei are true (many of these details seem to be kept secret) and my suspicion would be they may well have been involved in some sort of industrial espionage. I'm also sure many companies and countries around the world are also actively engaged in all sorts of espionage. However, the fact a government has been shown to easily bend it's own laws for the sake of business also means Huawei's claim this is a politically motivated attack can't be so easily dismissed.
