Language can be a confusing element of human interaction. And nowhere is this fact more true than in the world of business. Take the paragraph below for example. Another pardon company is offering its service:
The first thing you need to do is to pick a package that best suits your needs. If you want to settle the matter as quickly and efficiently as possible, we recommend a Premium Package. With this service, we will do most of the work. We will leverage our contacts to push the process through as expediently as possible, and we will offer full-service at every step along the way, to make sure that your application is handled as professionally and discreetly as possible.It all sounds great but there is at least one problem. When the company claims “we will leverage our contacts” they are lying to their clients. Canadian bureaucracy may be no better than many other bureaucracy in the world but one thing it does tend to be more than any other is relatively fair. And what that means is that no one has any way to move things through any faster than the next guy. So, if the company in question calls the National Parole Board and asks it to move Mr. X’s file ahead of Mr. Y’s, the answer is the same no matter who you are. The answer is no! I know this for a fact because I work in the same industry and my company, National Pardon Centre, processes more pardons than any other company in Canada. Including the company in question from this article.
I haven’t named the company I am talking about here because it is not the purpose of this blog. My intention in writing this article is not to point fingers and say that such and such a company is not worth doing business with. My intention is to help you, the consumer, make an informed decision.
So read websites carefully. Find out what the fees include and what they don’t. Make sure you understand what you are paying for and what you can expect that payment to get you. In other words, when you are choosing a pardon and waiver service you should always do your homework.
I am obviously biased being the company’s Communications Director but I personally and with complete confidence recommend the National Pardon Centre. We are the only company that lists all of our employees and directors on their website including email addresses and extension numbers. And when you are handing over your hard earned money to someone transparency is a very good thing.
Good luck and make sure to get your pardon.
One of the things I am repeatedly blogging about on this site is the importance of getting a pardon if you have a criminal record. But for all my writings and all my arguments I honestly don’t think I could say it any better than one of my previous clients who was kind enough to comment on one of my previous posts. So in the interest of persuading the few skeptical minded people out there who may be debating the importance of a pardon I will leave it up to Duane. He seems to have a way with words.
Thanks to your service it for sure saved me, now im moving forward to train to become something I always wanted to be a police officer.
Everyone makes mistakes some bigger then others, but we ALL deserve a second or third chance to make it in this world.
NPC if you require a person for your online ad’s or TV ad’s please contact me and I will speak the truth about how your service saved me.
I was reading an article the other day about how teenagers in American who fool around are subject to arrest as sex offenders. To most of us who have even the vaguest recollection of being a teenager this sounds like paranoid insanity and the truth is not far from it.
In most cases two teenagers engaging in sexual activities are imune from the law because we all know that human nature has a way of taking us hostage, esecially when we are young, full of hormones, and prone to doing stupid things that we would never even dream of as an adult. Children need to be protected from adults who would exploit them, not from themeselves. So what has changed?
The problem is that with the proliferation of cell phone cameras kids engaging in sexual play are, understandably, prone to take photos of themeselves and then circulate those photos among friends. And once that happens a bunch of nut jobs in the American judicial system, brainswashed by right wing propaganda, have decided that this behaviour must be stopped at all costs. And of course the only way to stop this behaviour is prosecution. The logic: teach a few good kids a really nasty lesson and others will learn from it. Patent nonesense.
We acknowledge that kids are kids for a reason; because they are KIDS! They do not yet have the capacity to make adult decisions. Charging a teenager with a sex crime as an adult because she posted a topless picture of herself on myspace is a classic example of paranoid delusion. This is creating a problem where none exists and ruining the life of a young person because her actions offend the sensibilties of only the most conservative section of modern society.
Obviously we do not want our kids taking pictures of themeselves in compromising positions. That is not being argued because there exists a segment of society so twisted that we have a global industry circulating child pornography. But let’s fight the real fight. Let’s go after the people who are actually sex offenders. Go after the pedophiles who exploit children and throw the book at them. There is no question about that because there are bad people our children need protecting from.
And admittedly our children need protection from themeselves from time to time. But when two consenting teenagers fool around and take a picture of the activity a crime has not been commited. When a young girl takes a picture of herself and sends it to her boyfriend a crime has not been committed. We don’t need teeangers applying for pardons because they did something foolish in a moment of passion. And we don’t need teenagers registered as adult sex offenders. This helps no one.
This is policing at its worst. Allow me to make a small comparison. This would be like a busting a hippie commune for growing weed when a bunch of crystal meth crack dealing junkies are pushing their smack on preteens two doors down the street.
Why do we have so much trouble fighting the real fight?
