Do you still think he's a hypocrite? Sounds like he just changed his mind as the times changed.
Gee, I wonder how many people have had their minds changed on this issue over the course of 30 years? Or on MAID, or other important social issues? I know that mine has, as information has evolved. I wonder if that makes me a hypocrite.
Full disclosure - no one has ever paid me for these opinions.

More than 60% of Canadian object to mandatory minimum sentences for murder.
This article looks at the effect of mandatory minimums on those offenders like " the 18-year-old Indigenous teen who kills her abusive drug dealer" or a woman who kills her abusive husband and argues for greater discretion in sentencing.
However, I'm guessing some of you will still call them animals who deserve the DP.

I think it was in this thread that the issue of CPP investments in the US for-profit prisons was raised. Here's an article about that. Basically what you'd expect - passively managed funds that contain a lot of different companies. The actual values are small monetarily, and very small percentage-wise - 0.001% of total investments. Still, it is possible for them to avoid investments in arms sales and prisons if they choose to, and I think they should.

It's really too bad, because I would like for the Green Party to have a non-idiotic leader. As it is, I don't consider the Green Party a viable option when I vote. If their leader wasn't this silly twit, I would strongly consider it, at least sometimes.

Brian Bowman re-elected as Winnipeg mayor, but vote to open Portage and Main to pedestrian traffic was voted down. Boggles my mind how much time has been spent on this topic. hopefully this city can move on to its next nonsensical argument.

Civic politics often seems to involve these sorts of issues that just drag on for a completely inordinate amount of time. Here in Victoria, it is the sewage treatment issue. It's been discussed for as long as I've lived here almost 15 years now, and still no resolution.

at least sewage treatment is a "real" issue. opening up our so-called "world famous intersection" to pedestrian traffic has wasted so much administrative time and money it's just stupid already. at least it finally got put to a vote and can hopefully be put to rest.
Germany is right to approach antisemitism and hate speech/inciting hatred in this fashion. Not that it will change her views, but if it helps prevent this from being spewed in a way that puts others at risk, then it’s worth it.

I never heard of her until today. I am more curious as to why these political parties do not vet their candidates better...
I had not either, but she has been in the news over the past 3 or 4 years. It seems she came to her Holocaust-denying views later in life. I believe she first posted about them in 2015. The Green party disavowed her right away, but she had in fact already quit them a few months prior.

And we are ok with locking up someone strictly for their beliefs?
Yeah, not me.
You'll have to take that up with Germany. I was more curious as to why these political don't vet their candidates better. I am not OK with locking people up for their beliefs...

I've always contended the circumstances surrounding the crime need to be taken into account.
A scumbag raping and murdering an 8 year old is a far cry from a beaten down woman trying to escape a harmful relationship.
However, I'm guessing some of you will still call child rapist/murderers misguided people that deserve healing houses and comfort and love.

I am not referring to you specifically. However, I think you have argued for mandatory minimum sentences for murder, correct?
