I know that's not really a "scandal" so much as it is "an isolated instance of incompetence" but every other Canadian scandal is like "somebody improperly awarded a $24,000 government contract without disclosing that their wife's sister has personal ties to the vendor's dog"
in 1995, Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien and his wife had to use a statue of a loon to fight off an assassin in their bedroom by themselves for seven minutes because the RCMP officer standing guard at their front door had forgotten his keys to their house
Dio realizing "holy shit he's dead for real" and immediately dropping the villain act is one of the best scenes in the entire series, he really thought they'd be going back and forth forever
