Oh Canada!
A pretty scathing indictment from someone even further North than the New York Times. It follows the breakdown of prohibitions in the U.S. of ex post facto laws, the loss of mens rea as something which must be proven in court, and the growth of overabundant plea bargaining.
About the only thing missing is an analysis of how the double jeopardy prohibition doesn't really mean you can't be tried for the same thing again.
