How do you think things will end up and what significance will it have on Canadian politics?

I think he will survive it. I will give him credit for not denying any of the facts, and for having picked principled people, who would rather resign, than entertain a shady deal.
Trudeau thinks he did not give ultimatums, but rather offered options and reminded them of the potential loss of jobs. Not to mention that Quebec is politically important to his chances.
The irony here, is that those who oppose him, would not have hesitated for a nano-second, about throwing their weight behind SNC-Lavalin, or picking people who would along with it. So, this is about Trudeau's chances, based on whether or not the left is going to bail out on him.
Also interesting, is that SNC-Lavalin thought it can move its headquarters to the UK, and that they would not suffer any consequences in the UK.
