What really burns me is that Ottawa expects me to obey and honor our
laws and our constitution, yet they introduce legislation that is in
direct conflict with our constitution which guarantees that I can not
be held responsible for someone else's action. Yet here they are
penalizing me for crimes commited by others. Its a good life if we don't
weaken :)
