Kady, who should seemingly know better, passes along the Cons' spin that their redefinition of "serious offence" won't create any new offences or result in any substantial costs.
The Cons' definition of a "serious offence" includes "betting, pool-selling and book-making" under section 202 of the Criminal Code.
The definition of a "criminal organization" under section 467.1 is any group of three or more people involved in a "serious offence" which results in any type of benefit.
And under section 515(6), anybody committing a "serious offence" related to a "criminal organization" faces a reverse onus on bail applications.
In other words, the Cons just declared that they can lock you up and and throw away the key for participating in a hockey pool.
Just thought you should know.
