Pretty sad .
They are taking guns away from law abiding citizens and say they did a wonderful job lol.
They don't care about safer streets.

Truly unbelievable
Actually,with Liberals being liberals,it's quite believeable. That doesn't surprise me in the least.Quote:

I hadn't seen this opinion,but,it sounds reasonable. I particularly dislike the "reverse onus" for gaining bail nor am I the least bit impressed with the Crown plea bargain deal for someone who may very well be innocent.Quote:

That’s ludicrous.
Bills can be amended, before becoming “law” can they not?
3rd readings, the senate etc?
The NDP and Libs shot this down before it had a chance. Which speaks volumes.

It appears to be a faulty law at best which will not stand up to judicial scrutiny and especially at the SCC level.
The Conservatives tend to over reach with their laws and Mr. Harper found that minimum mandatory sentences will not be upheld by the Court as many offend the charter. We don't want to down the American road where folk's are routinely railroaded into pleading guilty to an offence they never committed by agreeing to a lesser punishment in order to avoid the maximum.
That may true Gilroy. But that's why there are rather lengthy procedures from 3 readings to committees in the senate. To make changes...
Either way,
What is pretty clear at this point, is that the left is soft on crime and really isn't all that interested in tackling the problem. It's just easier to appear to be doing something, especially when it makes for good headlines.
Btw and I do know the answer...
what's your take on community policing ( nice left wing, headline grabbing, warm and fuzzy term). That does little to combat the problem.
