Political interference

• City of Toronto. It had a scandal that set the standard for both scandalous behavior (the cause) and ethical behavior for public bodies (the results).

• A $43 million lease for computers ended up costing $86 million. The City launched a judicial inquiry which lasted 2 years, had 214 hearing days, reviewed 124,000 pages of documents, heard from 156 witnesses, and involved more than 60 lawyers.

• "billion-dollar boondoggle" at HR & Development Canada

• Public Works and Government Services $250-million sponsorship saga

• controversy at Technology Partnerships Canada

It looks so calm from the outside
