An unsigned editorial from the Victoria Times Colonist: Too many laws hurt our society:Until quite recently, most Canadians lived their entire lives without a brush with the law. Our grandparents were mortified at the thought of being detained by police or forced to pay a fine.Only on the rarest of occasions, like being called as a witness, would they expect to find themselves in court.Records of
