After introducing the ring, still bridges collapsed in Quebec while in service not at construction and people died. I am not sure how effective is this ring.

Notably there was no Iron Ring for the people running the companies building the bridges and rigging contracts.

It's a huge scandal now that went "all the way to the top". http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/former-montreal...

After making murder illegal, people are still murdered. Therefore, laws against murder are ineffective.
What the hell did I just read ? It was not bridges, but a single overpass that fell and it is unrelated to the ring or engineers. The main problem was that two governements failed to identify the weaknesses because they wanted to save money. I despise people like you who try to link two totally unrelated facts to sound smart.

Ooops, I apologize pal, I guess I hurt your feelings, I didn’t mean that. But here is another example:

BTW, I don’t need to sound smart and still I like you.

My friend, this is just politics. This is a case of poor leadership trying to blame someone else for their own error (lack of investment in infrastructure). This as nothing to do with the iron ring.
