How does a politician receive a bribe without an exchange of something of immediate value

I am speaking only of Canada and I am absolutely not implying anyone in government elected/appointed/consulting or a member of the bureaucracy has received or will receive anything of value for turning the other way, for promoting one experimental gene based drug over another much less expensive much safer tried and true non side effect safe and effective drug, I am not saying that or implying it either, just sayin’.
Absolutely no connection should be made between my next words and any concept of corruption and collusion in government or between private/public partnerships.
ok how is it done:
in the old days you slipped a twenty into your drivers license packet the officer took out your license and the twenty. After waiting an appropriate length of time, sent you on your way with a stern warning.
That is the old coarse way not the new sophisticated method appropriate to the new perfectly coiffed hip mover and shaker politician.
the modern way is much better:
Using words that are innocuous and absolutely non specific the politician/bureaucrat may be asked by industry lobbyists possibly pharma/medicine. Possibly at a mixer at the Chateau …………..:
Mr/Ms (non specific) your political experience is priceless to the people of Canada and the world. Have you considered the many board positions that could benefit from your unique experience, think of all the great things you could do for humanity, what a guy/girl.
Only after you have fulfilled your political career defending Canada of course. If you find attending a board meeting once per year to taxing the speaking circuit is in desperate need of knowledgeable and qualified speakers. Only after you have left your political obligations behind of course, goes without saying.
As an example our industry(?) is in desperate need of board members and speakers of your calibre.
Only after you have left your political obligations behind of course, goes without saying. Oh by the way to which schools are your kids applying.
It may seem I am hinting at something here believe me I am not!
Just trying to save CSIS(?)/RCMP from investigating a non starter issue cause I am not implying anything.
However I did donate to the convoy, so I expect you already have my file on your desk.
When I saw title of this post, I thought of the old-time T-shirt with the title on the front and this on the back "and all I got is this lousy T-shirt."
Love it. Reminded me of early feminists before they went corporate. Sharp and funny.
YES!!!
This is one of my new favorites!
I love this and used it in my "Letter to Ron DeSantis" (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-governor-ron-desantis)!
This is awesome! Love it!
What a great treat. Thank you!
Brilliant and 100% apt.
Love it!
I had already shared that one on my Facebook page. It reminded me of the joke by one of our comics making an impression of Québec's biggest oligarch:
“People say everything I buy turns into gold but that's not true. I did buy some worthless things. A couple of ministers, for instance”
Really great
Sign 'em up!
