Pardon Me, I just want to Move Ahead

Chris Conrad's dilemma is the result of the on-going agenda of the current government to criminalize the individual through a draconian form of legislation that will define the freedom and unfreedom of the individual through ultra conservative restrictions. Restrictions which are a direct opposition to the fundamental core values of a Christian western society which has based its laws on the fundamental values of the Old and New testament. Harper’s attempt to control the criminalization of particular segments of society through super jails, pardon restrictions and throw away the key mentality is not in part to the fundamental value of forgiveness, of which the Creator teaches us to do and resolve if we want to stand before our Creator without shame. Harper and Toews stance against crime is counter production and will be an enormous strain on the taxpayer, and future generations. Conrad, a young man of euro-Canadian genealogy is experiencing what many of us first nation people experienced in our lives, when we attempt to integrate with dominant society. Perhaps not with the racial factor, but with the criminal record factor, of which many of our people have experienced due to the failed assimilation policies of Canadian society. With systemic racism,, no-one want to hire us, give us a chance, or saw our record and showed us the door. Pardons are an integral part of forgiveness and to extend the waiting period for pre-pardoner is not of good form and will only create more misery and despair instead of allowing a pardon to forgive and forget, move forward in a new light.
