According to the CBC, Latimer will be eligible for full parole in 2011; the
case has been through the Canadian Supreme Court, so a pardon seems like it

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.
