    yup. 
    Pretty sad that unelected judges only think a mans life is worth 4 years ... a homeless man at that, wonder if that played into the judges decision ... I'd hope not, but then again...

    regardless of anyone's mental state, position in life, taking a life should never ever receive such a sentence.   How many, that's a good question, but hell.. 4yrs? wtf

    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.

    I agree totally.  Locally where I live a drunk driver who ran a stop sign and killed a husband and wife just got 4 years.  DUI where there is death should be treated as murder, only a fool drives under the influence In 2019.  First time DUI should be a 5 year driving ban.  A second DUI and DUI after that should be jail time...

    No rehab ... these assholes use rehab as a means to get reduced charges...

    So President miscreant says he wont negotiate at all with us.  We have to take a deal on his terms.  He even laments the restraint of not being able to kill us.
    I'm sorry but this has gone to far.  Walk out of negotiations and watch his own greedy Republican party tear him a new butt hole.  There is too much at stake to kill NAFTA.  That report out of the star gave us all the ammo we need to say....we want to make a deal but the miscreant wont bargain.  Just keep saying we want to but we can't just give away the farm.  
    This will never end in the death of NAFTA.  Way to much money being made on both sides.  The miscreant will be put in his place over this.  Does anyone really believe the US Congress and Senate will kill NAFTA for the miscreant.  He's a sinking ship.  
    I remember when, yeah. I swore I knew everything, oh yeah.

    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 remember when, yeah. I swore I knew everything, oh yeah.

    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...

    That so called terrorist was a 14 year old child and watched his father and family members blown up by the US war machine.  He was brainwashed.  I you and anyone else would have thrown that grenade.
    That child was then held illegally.  He is a Canadian citizen.  His Conservative government at the time did nothing to protect his rights.  He should have been given 50 million.

    As for our soldiers.  Let that be a lesson to the next generation.  They are not appreciated or respected or cared about...so don't serve the miscreants

    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 fact, this is the procedure in Ontario:

    Ontario Judicial Appointments Advisory Committee[edit]

    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]

    I agree that Congress won't let it fly. I think we should just walk away and wait it out.

    I thought they were still negotiating...have the talks broken down?

    Hate to say it, the auto would have no problem relocating to US and Mexico ....if PM Fluff thinks for 1 minute that the auto gives a rats ass about Canada, he is once again sadly mistaken.

    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.

    I agree.  Don't serve.  To the ones who are serving, don't volunteer for pointless overseas mission...they need to take a stand.

    I do not see any need for us to be involved in any overseas missions anymore.

    Show me your evidence that getting “tough on crime” improves public safety by measures such as reducing recidivism rates.

    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.
