This is insane...

He's laying down conditions for the court?

Let's just put this guy back behind bars...
Accused terrorist Mohamed Harkat said yesterday that he would abide by the strict bail conditions he faces if some of the restrictions are loosened.

Mr. Harkat told the court that the current arrangements made tasks such as shovelling snow, raking leaves and barbecuing difficult because he cannot go in and out of the house by himself.
Apparently the little woman has a few grievances as well...
His wife, Sophie, testified that her obligations, which see her providing most of the supervision around their home, have caused her to miss out on visiting relatives, travelling to conferences, working with her husband's support campaign and finding employment.
Only in Canada, you say.

RELATED: Hey... it just might work
A man facing nine criminal charges who was set free by a judge last year because he waited too long for a bail hearing is now the subject of a nationwide manhunt for attempted murder.

The case of Davood Zarinchang, 25, of Markham, was well celebrated in the media in October 2007 when Superior Court Judge Howard Chisvin stayed all charges, including four counts of assault, three of threatening and one of mischief over $5,000.

But just 13 weeks after the charges were stayed because of the technicality, Zarinchang is alleged to have shot a man several times in a "violent home invasion" in Richmond Hill and is still on the lam and considered armed and dangerous.
