HARASSED GRANT KRIEGER

With the latest story about Grant Krieger, police in Calgary seem
hell-bent on breeding even more disrespect for the law than already
exists. The fact that a jury of his peers refused to criminalize
Grant ought to be a lesson to all Canadians. Our ancestors understood
that tyrants could pass any kind of chicanery into law. The Magna
Carta and the rights of an Englishman were meant to have a jury
decide not only guilt but also if the law is just. Perhaps the
ostensible defenders of liberty in Parliament need a reminder of just
what freedoms they are supposed to be defending. John Stuart Mill
said: "The only freedom which deserves the name, is that of pursuing
our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive
others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it."
