People think ๐จ๐ฆ is lax on money laundering because itโs good for the economy. Nope.
Itโs so much worse. The lax enforcement turned into organized crime capturing ๐จ๐ฆ. The legal system is now too scared to act. Seriously.

2/ First off, letโs talk about how extensive ๐จ๐ฆโs organized crime (OG) problem is. The countryโs OG intel agency estimates 2,600 groups operate in the country.
Since a gang is 3 people or more, at minimum theyโre estimating 1 in 4000 adults are OC members.
3/ that means the ratio of OC to normal people is higher than the concentration of high school school teachers to people in Toronto.
Think about that for a secondโhow often do you see high schools across Toronto? Well, youโre more likely to see OC members than a teacher in one.
๐จ๐ฆ: fun story. Two guys fight. One gets murdered. The other gets murdered a year later.
๐จ๐ฆ's intel agencies pursue evidence alleging they were involved w/criminal activity.
Thankfully the intel agencies were redirected by the real expertsโ๐จ๐ฆ's politicians.

2/ Good thing. It was the enemies of the politicians all alongโIndia. ๐จ๐ฆโs PM Trudeau notified the public it found "credible rumors.โ
๐จ๐ฆ goes from โModi did itโ to denying it, then calling one of its own intel agents a criminal faster than a bank bail out.
So weird. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
3/ anyway, not really about India.
Itโs the fact ๐จ๐ฆโs intel agencies are very capable but heavily manipulated by politicians.
They did this w/Sidewinder ~30 years agoโagents had allegations that politicians tried to suppress. Now weโre dealing w/fall out from not addressing it.
