In Canadian law, a peace bond is an order from a criminal court that requires a person to keep the peace and be on good behavior for a period of time. This essentially means that the person must not be charged with a criminal offence. Peace bonds often have other conditions too, such as not having any weapons or staying away from a person or place. They are similar to a civil court restraining order and also based on the lesser burden of proof of civil law.
A peace bond can be made by a criminal court Judge or a Justice of the Peace. A peace bond is issued when the crown is strongly convinced that no guilt has happened. A person does not plead guilty when they enter into a peace bond. There is no finding of guilt made or conviction registered if a person agrees to a peace bond.
The bond is usually set for twelve months. If charges are withdrawn, the prosecution of those charges is finished and those same charges can never be brought back. However, if the person who has signed a peace bond transgresses the law within the 12-month period of signing it, there could be very serious repercussions, and this may result in a fine, or even jail time for violating the terms of the peace bond.
Honey pick the red corner shoes
The ones that hardly ever get used
I knelt in front of my whole collection
I'm picking you a special selection
On a no news is good news middle of mid-year day
I feel no ill with time to kill I wanna play
Let's make peace tonight
The moon is bare and shining bright
Let's make peace tonight in a good time
Callin' on my good friends today
You know the drive's about an hour away
We'll be pitching up a tent by the trees
We'll be wading in the river to our knees
Oh now love's been planted & we're checking out the yield
Two black dogs and a white one running in the field
Let's make peace tonight
The moon is bare and shining bright
Let's make peace tonight in a good time
We used to have some money but we spent it
So when we want to have it then we rent it
But we're cuttin' up the rug and I know you love me love me
And the best of everything here is free
Oh when things get messy then we tidy up the room
We'll be no stranger to the dustpan and the broom
Let's make peace tonight
The moon is bare & shining bright
Let's make peace tonight
The moon is bare & shining bright
