Québec had an inquiry¹ and found large-scale systematic corruption. Other provinces… haven't looked.

A very interesting article I read (can be found with a google search) was an in-depth look at the corruption with snowplow contracts. People were getting beat up and were greasing politicians palms to get these lucrative contracts in Quebec.

How very Canadian!
