The Tories Were Wrong on Pardons
It’s hard to imagine a Canadian government more incompetent on social issues than the Federal Conservatives were on criminal justice. Take the pardon program for example.

Recevoir le pardon canadien après avoir été déporté à cause d’un dossier criminel
Plus de 10 000 personnes sont déportées hors du Canada, chaque année. Il y a plusieurs raisons pour laquelle un visiteur, un demandeur d’asile, un résident permanent, etc. puisse être déporté.

Fingerprinting for a Pardon
Often our clients are confused about the fingerprinting procedures for a pardon / record suspension application. Since their fingerprints were taken during the arrest they often wonder why their fingerprints need to be taken again. Fingerprinting for a pardon is strictly for identification purposes.

La conduite avec facultés affaiblies est notre charge criminelle la plus courante
J’ai déjà écrit à ce sujet auparavant, mais après avoir lu un article de Sun Nouvelles concernant le nombre de conducteurs durant la période fêtes qui sont arrêtés pour conduite en état d’ébriété, j’en ai conclu que c’est encore une fois une question importante.

Randy Gray – Témoignage – blogue CPN
Bonjour, Voici mon histoire. Je vivais à Vancouver, en Colombie-Britannique, en 1995, et fût accusé de trafic de marijuana (je connaissais quelqu’un qui en vendait et je lui en ai acheté pour mon ami, j’ai fait 100$ par deux fois).
