Federal Justice Minister Vic Toews wants to toughen Canada's legal system in the wake of the manhunt for convicted pedophile Peter Whitmore -- including the possibility of mandatory parole-like restrictions for dangerous offenders who have served their full jail sentences. Toews said the easiest way to use the dangerous offender provision to protect society is to get the county's justice ministers to agree to a standard protocol which would ensure the rarely-used Criminal Code section is more frequently used regardless of the province. Does it need to be a protocol, does it need to be actual legislation?'' Toews asked. "That is something my department is examining in conjunction with provincial departments at this time.''
Most people don't even know about it yet," [Harvey Pollock] said. "The claim here is for the same problems that are being pursued in Canada and across North America arising from reported problems from General Motors' use of inadequate plastics in the IMG (intake manifold gasket). "The recent motion to certify a class action is unfortunate and we believe brought on by a spillover of an overly litigious U.S. legal system into Canada. Lawyers have grossly exaggerated the situation with our customers through unsubstantiated allegations in statements which have not been proven in court and will be vigorously defended," Stew Low, director of communications for GM Canada, said in a statement.

Human trafficking is a global human rights issue that has profound and tragic repercussions for millions of women and children every year. In North America, Canada is currently a destination for victims of trafficking, and a transit route into the United States. Traffickers have exploited the open border between the United States and Canada to perpetuate a modern form of slavery that forces oppressed women and children into forced labour and/or prostitution. Currently, Canada has no formal policy or program to provide protection, assistance, and services to victims. A multidimensional approach to combating human trafficking is necessary in Canada, with legislation that provides protection to victims escaping the web of trafficking.
