…. Mr. Barton, who served as Canada’s ambassador to China until late 2021, does not come off well in the book. Indeed, most of the scandals that have haunted McKinsey in recent years originated during his tenure – from its work advising Purdue Pharma on how to “turbocharge” OxyContin sales (for which it paid US$641-million last year to settle legal claims with several U.S. states) to the laying of criminal charges last month by South African authorities over McKinsey’s work for the country’s state-owned freight-rail operator.
Trudeau and Barton both enjoy the taste of Xi Jinping’s arse.
