Bit of a gamer & designer/playtester all my life. Some military & historical background... What's your favorite wargame (et al)? Board or computer...no matter. Some of the new ones are remarkable... For example... War of Rights...MMO US Civil War...FPS w/ musket and bayonet.

A simple proposition: Since Bill C-290 has been overwhelmingly passed by the democratically elected House of Commons but stalled by the unelected Senate, and since C-290 only seeks to repeal a section of the Criminal Code of Canada and does not seek to add or amend any paragraph to the CCC, therefore, should C-290 be defeated or die on the order paper when Stephen Harper has the Governor General prorogue Parliament later this year, then: - would the Prime Minister be justfied of he were to advise the GG to use the Royal Prerogative of Mercy to extend a general amnesty that would grant unconditional immunity from prosecution to any party that may contravene Paragraph 207(4)b of the CCC, either now or in the future? - and if the GG issued such an amnesty, would that amnesty for all intents and purposes have the same legal effects as Bill C-290? I believe the answer to both questions is yes.
