Dag nab it! I thought at last I had it figured out…but the rabbit hole not only goes deep, it goes wide.

Public Prosecution Service Canada (PPSC) is the group of fine, law abiding lawyers who have no interest in convictions just making sure the law is upheld and justice is done. Right? Well maybe some, but another bunch are lying, cheating bunch of rascals. Can I meet the honest ones please?

It seems that PPSC has, like a cat, multiple lives. Will you looky here. It seems that there are at least three and maybe four of them. Dun and Bradstreet lists a few variations of the name with different addresses. hmmm

What could it mean? And this “Government of Canada also Traded As Public Prosecution Services Canada”. WHAT? REALLY??

I also came across this note:

What was it called before 2006? Department of Justice? I guess that is one more example of a department of the government getting hived off into a corporate agency?

“Discharge of criminal law mandate” hmmm what about the vast majority of cases that they handle that are classed as “quasi-criminal” which means not criminal but borrowing the criminal law procedures.

Maybe the whole legal/colour of law/offences under an Act game is all a farce. What do you think?

NAW! Couldn’t be. Prove me wrong, please! I want to believe in truth, justice and honourable people again like I did before I really looked around at what was going on and I started to ask the dreaded question…. “this can’t be right, can it?”!

Maybe I should have stopped there and not asked the next question…….
