    Fuck the US gov. and fuck everyone involved in MK-Ultra, but this was the correct decision, retro-actively applying laws isn’t something that we as a society want.

    Imagine is we go Gilead, and abortion because illegal. Would we want people to be punished for an abortion from 20 years prior?

    The U.S., they said, benefited from immunity in Canada before the 1982 law was enacted.

    the experiments by Dr. Donald Ewen Cameron at the Allan Memorial Institute between 1948 and 1964 were part of the CIA’s MK-ULTRA program of covert mind-control.

    In a 3-0 decision rendered Monday, the province’s highest court upheld a lower court decision that said a 1982 Canadian law governing how foreign states can be sued in the country cannot be used retroactively.

        I freaking love the Logdriver’s Waltz. I’ll whistle it incessantly during the day and drive the people around me batty.
