Her name is Lee Lowrie.  She is a resident of Nanaimo, British Columbia who has never had any difficulties with the law or police.  Not until 5 RCMP officers arrived at her home (invited by Ms. Lowrie after receiving a call from the Mounties that they wanted to see her). Police charged Lowrie with impaired driving....hours after she had arrived home and consumed a few beers.  She and her boyfriend had stopped on the way home for lunch and had each consumed 'one' cocktail. Lowrie's driver's licence was suspended for 90 days and her vehicle impounded for 30 days.  She won her case in court, but the ordeal cost her $3500.As the Open Government Partnership Global Summit was being held in Ottawa,  Democracy Watch issued its report card on the Trudeau Liberal open government ecord.  The report card gives the Liberals and overall F grade.  
And:Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion (who was appointed by Liberals without input from opposition parties, thereby breaking parliamentary law) won't have his report on any ethical lapses by the government ready before the house rises for the summer in mid-June.  So no chance to address Dion's eventual findings in parliament. Convenient?

The Supreme Court of Canada ruled 3-2 that the convictions of a Toronto man found by police with a gun and drugs must be thrown out because police were in violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms when they entered a private yard where men were engaged in conversation.  Because police climbed over a low fence and asked Tom Le for identification and the contents of a satchel his Charter rights were violated. The SCC ruled this case is of particular importance to neighbourhoods with large visible minority populations.   Two lower courts supported the police actions."Lawyer calls for action as more disabled Mounties allege they were forced out."
