Sollicitation de contrats gouvernementaux | Des géants américains rappelés à l’ordre par Québec

Quebec hired Consulting Firms before giving IT contracts.

The consulting firms were supposed to give independent advice.

What Quebec didn't know ? Amazon Canada senior executives secretly wired money to these consulting firms.

There is no system of government in the world that has been able to stand up to individuals with billions and billions of dollars.
The billions and billions of dollars have all the power and no system can escape that power.
We need to stop the billionaires.
- Before they purchase robots that stop us from stopping billionaires.

Throw them in jail, all of em. Whoever was in charge and knew about this, both at Amazon, and that consulting company, to jail for at least a year.
If i commit fraud, i go to jailz why the F is it different for companies? Just find who signed off on it, jail them.
Als bak Amazon from doing any business with the government for the next 5 years at least.
That is the only thing that will stop large companies from cheating and frauding their way ahead.
This sort of stuff needs to be treated for what it is, its a crime, JAIL THEM.

Decades spent not investing in IT and hiring consultants and contractors instead, governments are wasting billions because they refuse to give competitive conditions to people working in IT so no one who is qualified wants to work for them. It ends up costing more.
