What is being said here (incomplete sentence)?

And to think this whole SNC-Lavalin mess came about for want of a warm Nova Scotian body.


Why is there an "and" and does removing it change the meaning? Why is "to think ..." not succeeded with a statement explaining or completing the thought. Why does it feel like an incomplete sentence? How would you reword it to make it easier to understand?
