I would caution you on your trust of the law to protect you. It's certainly true that depending on the colour of your skin, the law treats you differently, for example. Your ability to trust the law is probably an artifact and a consequence of Canada's widely shared cultural respect for the law -- there are people here who are actively trying to undermine even that, though, so beware.
But really, the law apparatus has its own interests, and if your interests clash with it for whatever reason you can expect trouble.
