Canada and the US have both been expanding their criminal database, and sharing it with each other. People are being turned away for DUIs, and The Victoria Clipper complained that it is causing them to lose business. In Canada DUI is a felony charge while in the US it is a gross misdemeanor. The story brings the question if the harsh laws are worth both the loss to tourism and if it is fair to continue to penalize a person for past mistakes.

Evidence in the case includes pages of notes detailing manufacturing and handling explosives, found on one of the suspects computer.
