Where’s the justice?

Re: Harkat promises fight ‘to the end,’ May 16.

Where has my Canada gone now that Mohamed and his wife, Sophie, have lost their struggle for justice? As a result of secret trials where he saw neither the evidence nor his accuser, Harkat is to be deported to Algeria, where he may face possible torture and death.

Do we really feel safer because their battle for justice has been lost? Is democracy more secure in Canada because secret trials have been Ok’d? Or has democracy been sacrificed to the so-called “war” on terrorism? Oh Canada, my shameful chosen land.
