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
@T00l_shed
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.

@No_Maines_Land
Its in several Skandi countries. Let's expand.
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!
And then some fines on top.
