Thank you No Stone Unturned! What a wonderful idea for a thread.

You've been a wonderful resource to me in your replies throughout these threads and have educated myself and many others about the unique attributes of the wonderful Canadian system of justice.

I must say there are many elements of the Canadian system that I wish we, your neighbors to the South, would adopt.
