      Yup, it should 100% of revenue of the false product. Redistributed to canadian food producers. And the execs who green lit this should be thrown in prison

        Accountability, responsibility.

        Sweden and others have a sliding fine with no top end, based on the income of those being fined.

        A baker speeding 90 in a 70, gets a 154.00, but the billionaire doing 90 in a 70 gets fined $14,675.00.

        So as to make the pain of the fine equal for all.

          Th billionaire fine needs at least 2-4 more zeros to make the point.

            @fourish

            You can look up the fines in Scandinavian countries. Its quite sane and satisfactory.

            They aren’t fined too much, just enough so it makes sense to not speed anymore.

              I was going off the numbers in this post. $15,000 is a rounding error to a billionaire. Doubt they’d even care. Just pay it and speed.

              If the number is accurate I stand by my comment. If the number is inaccurate that’s in the hands of the person I replied to.

          Swedish day fines have, contrary to its Finnish counterparts, a maximum limit so as not to render too excessive of a fine should the offender have a very large income.

              Oh, I’m on board with the concept. Just trying to correct a bit of accidental misinformation on Sweden having no upper limit to day-fines.

              I’m pretty sure our military justice system uses a a form of day-fines. So we even have an existing precedent at home!
