Russia buy transformers (not shure about exactly transformers, but whatever) from Western companies because Western companies happily agree to launder money for those who sign contracts from Russian side.
Russian whatever thing cost $50, Western cost $100, but Western company easily agree to sell whatever $100 thing for the $1000 and split the $900 of difference between Russian and Western managers. That can't be tracked by Russian tax office and that money fall on the abroad accounts of Russian swindlers out of the reach of Russian tax office or other authorities.
So you think that Canadians receive paybacks from Russian oligarchs for buying steel and aluminium through overpriced contracts and hide wealth stolen from Canadian state or business on accounts in Russian banks?
