Just great !! This is what we've come to !

Canada: The Krever Inquiry, paid for by taxpayers, is blocked all the
way to the Supreme Court to cover the asses of those responsible for
allowing "tainted blood" into the blood supply.  The report has been
stalled so long, it will likely to be buried forever because of a
technicality.  Janet Conners, a NS victim, fights all the way to get
the report released.  In the meantime, her husband dies, she plans for
her son's future, develops AIDS, and goes $130K in debt to her lawyers
defending the rights of the Canadians.  She says she is sorry that she
let down her supporters.

Nova Scotia: a former politician is charged with multiple rape charges
20 years after the fact.  He hires a "dream team".  The team subpoenas
everything imaginable that could have any remote connection to the
case. This is for the PRELIMINARY trial - to see if a crime was
committed.  This drags on for a few more years.  With any luck, they
can put the final verdict (if there is one) on his tombstone.

Saskatchewan (?): A farmer sells a truckload of barley over the US
border without showing a permit.  After he returns and is arrested,
the law is then changed to make it illegal.  He spends the next few
months in jail and might still be there for all anyone cares.

British Columbia: Clifford Olson murders a dozen kids and is arrested
and paid $200K to locate the bodies.  He spends the next 15 years in
prison provided with a cell phone and access to the media, writing
letters to the parents of the dead kids.  Then he applies for and
receives a new "faint hope" trial to show how remorseful he is.  Now
all the parents are required to travel to Vancouver to give reasons
why he should not be let out of prison.

Nova Scotia: The officers on a container ship are charged after they
allegedly threw some refugees overboard.  They spend a year in Halifax
going through legal maneuvers at taxpayers expense.  Then the trial
judge decides he has no jurisdiction and throws the case out.

Welcome to Canada, any former Nazi, murderer, rapist.  This is our
immigration policy.  Just let us know if you need a lawyer, maybe a
nice apartment., ...whatever.  It's all on us.  This is a country that
relies on prison inmates to carry out our executions because our so
called "representatives" would rather "rehabilitate" the scum of the
earth  ... but I digress.

So - my question is:  Who do I have to kill to get justice around
here?
