Does anyone really think that electing judges is the way to go? Just look at the mess that is the judicial system in the US. Electing judges simply makes yet another space for completely partisan pandering for votes.
Well allowing politicians to appointing judges gets us judges that treat murder like it's no bid deal. What ever, set up an independent panel that appoints judges that are completely untouchable by politicians and where politician have no influence. You really trust Trudeau at this point, the guy is one clusterfuck after enough. Either way there needs to be a better way. Or pass hard sentencing laws...but once again PM Fluff would never do that, he pays off terrorist, then looks at military vet missing one leg, and tells him "you are asking more than we can give". Real good leadership...
Trudeau didn't appoint this judge, or any other provincial court judge. The PM is only involved in Chief Justice appointments. You'll have to find some other reason to complain about him, but that's clearly not going to be a problem for you.
In Ontario, the Judicial Appointments Advisory Committee (JAAC) is made up of 13 members: 7 lay members, 2 judges, 1 member appointed by the Ontario Judicial Council, and 3 from the legal community.[2] JAAC recommends a list of 3 or 4 candidates, far less than its federal counterpart.[3] Proponents of the system argue that this procedure has limited patronage appoints to Ontario courts, and has diversified the makeup of judges in the province.[3] Unlike other committees, the JAAC advertises openings and interviews candidates in person.[4]
They need a better process to select judges. He does have control over sentencing guidelines through legislation...but a liberal getting tough crime...LMFAO. If NAFTA dies over the dairy industry and tariffs are slapped on Autos then it won't matter ... he'll be voted out next year anyways.
Show me your evidence that getting “tough on crime” improves public safety by measures such as reducing recidivism rates.
Yes we should let all murderers walk free after 4 years ... what the fuck am I thinking.
Do you even read what you respond to?
my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf
I’m also curious why someone who hates politicians and wants to get politics out of the legal system can then think the solution is to make judges into politicians.
Where has anyone said they want politicians picking Judes...Doesn't matter who you have if the politicians had the balls to actually pass tough laws...
Please read what I said. Nowhere in there did I say I wanted politicians picking judges. You are the one who would make judges into politicians, by making it an elected position. That’s what we call people who hold a public office by way of winning a public voting process.
my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf
The entire conversation started with a judge handing down a lenient sentence to murder and then you wanna know if I think being tough on crime is the answer. To clarify, non-violent offenders, work with, re-habilatate them ... I have no problem to a certain point...but when they have a wrap sheet a mile long ... then you to get tough with them. Anybody convicted murder, including DUI murders should never be released from jail. These POS who so little value for human life, including the drunks deserve to die in prison or at the end of a hangman's noose...
If NAFTA does die. Pipelines get built pronto. They head east west and any direction other than south.
Oh and a post script for Mexico F you too. You say you prefer Canada is in but would make a deal without us
All of this goes to my Hope's and dreams that we begin the process of building a NLRB economy here at home. No more profits for miscreants. Healthy happy productive lives for all Canadians not shrouded under the world wasting system of the miscreants.....Capitalism.
I agree, Mexico, that was a bitch move. It should have been a collective of all three parties coming together for an agreement. With the deal in place, both the US and Mex, in my opinion left CA with little negotiating room.
CA needs to increase export pricing on all of our power/resources to the US.
Hamilton 9-13-05; Toronto 5-9-06, Toronto 8-21-09, Toronto 9-12-11, Hamilton 9-15-11....
You do know if we walk away from NAFTA, Trump might impose tariffs on the auto sector. But most of us know that BC only cares about BC...just ask Alberta.
maybe that's what the dick is trying to do, with the Mex agreement in place, shut down/reduce CA plants and move to US/Mex.

Agreed 100%. It's a terrible idea.
What we need are better minimum sentences.

I have wondered that myself. You are a big wings fan? You heard Zetterberg career might be over? The back injury that plagued him for the last few years is likely going to end his career.

Here in Ontario the recently booted out Liberals were so intent on installing more and more windmills and were producing more power than we can use we were giving hydro away to Americans...

I just became aware that Faith Goldy, alt-right neo Nazi sympathizer who has "....recited the most popular white supremacist slogan publicly, demanded a modern crusadeagainst Muslims, champions ethno-nationalism, and bemoans "white genocide"", is campaigning for mayor of Toronto.
Two Toronto police officers allowed themselves to be photographed in uniform with her and campaign supporters, and apparently the PD doesn't have an issue with it.

I like their round 1 pick ... he is is suppose to be the best goal scorer out of that draft. Zetterberg was a good captain and an excellent player.
I wonder why he escaped from a minimum security facility ... hmmm .... lets think about. It could be because he is only serving a 14 year sentence for manslaughter, arson, escape, and other offences. Don't look into to hard.

Yah.
I take a beating every now and then when I refer to murderers and rapists and pedophiles serving piddly amounts of time at a country club for their grievous offences. I've illustrated multiple times very similar situations that are bloody comical.
For the amount of time and effort we place into investigating, arresting, court proceedings, jury selection (100s of people every day for 2-3 cases), parole hearings, housing, etc. to culminate in these laughable sentences... I think we'd be better off just letting things happen.
If the old argument 'consequences are not a deterrent' is valid (and we can't stop crimes from happening given people are unconcerned with consequences)... and the pathetically weak sentences we continually dole out hardly resemble justice (not to mention that to some... they're just 'revenge' anyways)... what's the point?

So you are giving up? It does seem reasonable to give up. Why are we so soft on murderers? I will never understand that.

We aren't soft. Our lawmakers are soft. Most Canadians- even the most liberal ones around these parts- have grown weary of our judicial system with regards to the 'punishment' aspect of it.

Where do you "take a beating" Thirty? I can't recall anyone ever disagreeing with the fact that Canada's criminal justice system has a serious problem when it comes to sentencing. I don't understand why you continue to insist that you're some kind of lone wolf when it comes to this issue, when the opposite is true. You seem to think the DP conversation and this one are the same (and equally relevant in Canada), when of course they are not at all.

Why I mention those 2 specifically ... they video taped the torture and rape of those young ladies...so their guilt is not in dispute. I live in Chatham, Ontario in 1991 and a young fellow Jason Cofell ( I worked with his dad...his dad was a very nice fellow) killed 2 seniors and their grand son ... He killed the grand son in open field (with a gun), the grandparents were home when Jason Cofell and his accomplished picked this kid up a his grandparents house, after killing the grandson he and his accomplishes went back and stabbed the grandparents to death ... he is now on day parole. Convicted of 3 counts 1st degree murder is now on day parole.
