Recently, Harper's Government passed a law to fight terrorism. There are two aspects in these laws. One, it would prevent terrorist to make Canada an economic base, and last, it would allow the judicial system to persecute accused in absent.
Now, there is a constructive criticism of the above laws. In regard to number one, the Criminal Code of Canada section 80.0 persecute people for making Canada an economic base for terrorism. Particularly, it is number 83.03 covers area of terrorism in Canada. However, Rafsanjani owns highway 407 in Ontario and he is a terrorist. Thus, there is a law in effect but no one is enforcing it. In regard to last law that to persecute an accused person in her/his absent. Canada has a law of due process. It means an accused person is presumed innocent until proven guilty in an impartial court of law. How is it possible to hold someone accountable and responsible for her/his in her/his absent?
