Religion, chaplains and irony
Religion has a privileged place in Canadian prisons. After my sentencing, when I was placed in segregation in a provincial jail, the only reading material I could get was a Bible, which was given to me almost immediately after my request, unlike just about any other request I made during that time. Although I’m not a religious person, I am an inveterate reader. Having something to read was essential to being able to cope, so I read the entire Bible, old and new testaments, during those days.

Why we have regulatory bodies over professions like the law
Regulatory bodies exist to protect the public, uphold the rule of law and maintain the integrity of professions such as law. Because lawyers exercise power over people’s rights, freedoms and livelihoods, their work must be governed by high standards of competence, ethics and accountability. In Canada, law societies ensure that legal services are provided by qualified ethical professionals.
