He should have ran for the Canadian border the day he was released by mistake. (Probably wouldn't have helped since we extradict.)

In Canada, you can kill someone and get only six years.

I think it's worth noting that the United States has 3x as many murders per capita per year as compared to Canada. I'd hate to see American-style justice come to Canada, because it clearly doesn't keep the country safe.

If I wanted to murder someone what would be the best country to do it? Obviously not the US.

Edit: I mean get caught, do my time and be on my way.

Arguably, the best country to murder someone (as in, get away with it) would be any dictatorship where you are one of the thugs employed by the murderous regime, with the task of making people "disappear".

Also, in any country in which the justice system is broken, you can murder people and get away with it by getting a job as an executioner. What your state considers a lawful execution is regarded as murder in the eyes of the sane world, and so you're getting away with murder.

Why do all that work when you can do it in Canada, serve a few years and get on with your life?

Antarctica?

Good luck going anywhere after you say "No, I don't know where Jack is. Maybe we should head back to the ship without him."
