If you owned a new country, name it and give it a basic constitution

- Highway speed limits would be a provincial issue I guess...but it would be strongly recommended that they be something like 120km/h on single lane highways and on multi-lane highways it can be 140km/h or whatever. None of this bullshit 100km/h we have in Ontario now. 

- A better legal system. No bullshit loopholes that let murderers go free. Say evidence is illegally obtained without a warrant that proves beyond a doubt that someone is the murderer...he will still be charged, but since the evidence was obtained illegally the police officer(s) who found the evidence will lose their jobs and face charges for going around the law. I think that's as fair as possible, killers should not get off free for something like this. 

I'd agree with you on Canada's speed-limit. The three-day trip i took to Ontario last September i had a three-day brainfart and forgot that my speedometer does, in fact, also measure kph, so i just tried to match what everyone around me was doing, and that was about 72 mph or so (closer to your recommended 120 kph)

Although realistically i think the existing system works: people are always going to try to go a little over the speed limit, and i know that, in Ohio for instance, police rule-of-thumb on speeding is usually 9 mph over the limit, so it ultimately works out: people will usually go about 70-75 in a 65 zone, but if you raise the actual limit, then people are just going to go faster still, while i agree with you that 75 mph or 120 kph is a good balance, the psychology of it (combined with a liberal rule-of-thumb for traffic cops) works in favor of the lower limit.

As for the second one, people "get off" on evidentiary loopholes less often then you'd think. Essentially if they're obviously guilty, it's going to come out from some point of evidence or other, and i think the rule isn't that "all illegally obtained evidence is invalid" but rather "all illegally obtained evidence that probably wouldn't have been obtained with legal methods is invalid."
