My unfortunate friend was called to be a witness... in Edmonton. He had to bus up there and blow a long weekend sitting around outside the Courthouse waiting for the Crown attorney to call him in. In the end, he wasted 3 days sitting in a cold room (not even getting to experience the trial) and the Crown attorney came out and apologized and said they had enough evidence to convict and didn't need his testimony afterall. Wasted 3 days sitting in an empty room, having a few shoddy meals, a lame motel room, and a bus ticket on the government dime.
