Sifting through the federal budget omnibus bill, as we so often do here, we’ve come across an interesting little situation regarding the ‘purchase’ of pardons for crimes committed in Canada.
They’ve jacked up the cost of acquiring a pardon from $150 to $631. What this means, of course, is that poor folk and middle class folk can no longer afford pardons for their supposed crimes but if the wealthy elite want to be absolved of their criminal sins, such as the criminal scum from SNC-Lavalin, all they’ve got to do is plunk down a sack of swag and presto, their crimes are washed away.
Bring a big bag of swag though, only a very special kind of criminal can now afford these pardons!
