The Canadian legal system is something that I am looking forward to better understanding. I am embarrassed by the ethnocentric ignorance I currently have about the in's and out's of Canada's system of justice and the wheels that make it turn. While we export and seem to flood Canadians with our media, we rarely take the opportunity to learn about them. The film Canadian Bacon is a great illustration of American ignorance about Canada.
Based on your legal background and what you shared with me PAX, you've learned much more about the Canadian legal burden of proof that must be met for conviction and the manner which they conduct legal cases. Therefore I give the points you raised much more weight in my mind.
I have a lot more to learn about their system myself, I have just started that part of my research but I am starting to get some idea of the differences between that system and our own, while most of those differences seem minor to the untrained eye they will indeed play a big role in how this case is tried and defended there as opposed to how it may be tried an defended here.
