It is disturbing that Canadians re-elected that sonofabitch for 12 years. And how we accepted that a prime minister's son should get away with a tap on the wrist.
I'm not saying that his failure to get punished was a bad thing, but I really can't see what this says about Canada. As Joe said, pretty much every country has cases where a politician or someone that politician knows gets special treatment because of the politician's stature. I'm sure I could cherry pick things about the United States that would make it look horrible too, but I won't, because I like to not lie by omission.
