  • is the probability on becoming part of the 12 jurors that high?

    You’ll be in a pool of ~200 that gets whittled down to around 30. If you aren’t selected and the reason isn’t universally disqualifying you will go back into the pool for the next trial and so on for 2 years iirc.

    Is it also a criminal offense for failing to show up?

    Your jury notice(s) will make it explicit the consequences for dereliction of civic duty.















  • The last thing someone in this state of mind needs is a reminder that this is an easy possibility. A family member drove truck until someone did this to him. He had to go on comp because the PTSD prevented him from driving ever again and to add insult he got addicted to painkillers from his back injury.

    This comic is in bad taste for both making light of the subject of suicide and painting the ill person in such an unsympathetic way. If anyone out there is having dark thoughts at least have the decency not to ruin someone else’s life in the process. Ideally, get help, but don’t do this.




  • Nowadays Quebec separating would be as difficult as Alberta’s. I’m no historian, but it is my understanding that back when Quebec’s referendum occurred the separation could have been enacted by the Federal Government submitting the request to British Parliament which had the authority to grant it at the time.

    A couple years later the Constitution Act relinquished all British Authority and based our Constitution in Canada. As it stands in the current Constitution separation is not allowed and as such the video explains all that would be subsequently required to get this to happen.
