In international news, early this week Bush and Blair were convicted for war crimes by a less court in Malaysia. But even as alleged criminals do they really have anything to fear. Even as criminals they will mostly like go unpunished as long as the ICC can be vetoed by any of the UN Security Council members. The same is unfortunately true of Harper's Government involvement in torture and corruption of justice.
As long there is no accountability before the Law, justice has been corrupted. The corruption of justice destroys a people.

Hosea
I purposely have not given verse references, because without reading with a searching mind you will not understand the destruction conceived by the corruption of justice.
"some critics have suggested that Article 16 does not go far enough and in fact undercuts the role of the P-5 by requiring an affirmative vote to stop the prosecutor.(72) The Security Council only has the power to allow an investigation or prosecution to continue, but not to stop one. Conversely, others have expressed fears that the Security Council’s deferral power could eviscerate the independence of the prosecutor and the Court.(73)"

“If some States are able to use the ICC for their political motives, or if some individuals are beyond the reach of the ICC because of their position within a State, the Court will lose credibility, human rights will continue to be violated, and democratic development will be stifled. We understand that some States propose granting the Security Council sweeping powers to determine the docket of the Court. The granting of such powers to an essentially political body is incompatible with the establishment of an effective judicial body. The Court requires total independence in order to guarantee that the highest standards of international justice are respected.”

The Monarchy powers the PM currently enjoys MUST be removed.
Quebec is considering sovereignty to escape Harper's tyrannical rule.
"This isn't a tough-on-crime measure we're seeing today — it's a tough-on-democracy measure," Quebec Justice Minister Jean-Marc Fournie
He said he will now study all measures available so that Quebec can maintain its own approach to crime-fighting.
Quebec says it can't understand why, with some of the lowest crime rates in the country, its own lenient approach would be ignored in favour of expensive policies that have failed elsewhere.
"This is a clear illustration — yet another illustration but a very, very serious illustration — of the major dysfunction that the Canadian federation can cause," said PQ justice critic Veronique Hivon.
Harper is not tough-on-crime. If he was he would demand full investigation into Afghanistan corruption and relate torture, G20/G8. He would not game the election spending regulations in clear violation of their legal intent.
Harper is tough on democracy.
Write your provincial MPP, and ask them to seek sovereignty to escape Harper's tough-on-democracy.
Tell them you do not want the Federal Government and Secrete Police of CSIS systematically secretly monitoring your every action without cause. You do not want to be secretly detained without warrant and intensely questioned without a reason given for doing so. You do not want the Government using copyright legislation as a means of restricting access to its documents and denying accountability.
Demand full disclosure of pre-election political advertising. Demand full disclosure of all media financial transactions.
Democracy only works when an informed public votes in fair elections. Democracy does not work when elections are bought.
Stop undue influence and conflict of interest, Demand a permanent ban on X politicians from becoming lobbyist.
Demand the monarchy powers the PM currently enjoys be removed. These unrestricted powers to appoint and influence appointees, removes all accountability and provides the PM dictatorial powers.
