Good stuff.

I agree there.. I support the crime bill and the immigration laws.. only they need to be stricter.

[Strutz]

Well how about that? Good. Why should criminals serve a sentence by kicking back in their own homes where they can enjoy a more or less normal life? Getting tougher on crime (and those who commit them) is one area I definitely support without question.

[Gunnair]

Nice!

[Canadian_Mind]

Not stringent enough, should eliminate house arrest period, save for very special ethical cases.

Special ethical cases would be like the guy who did the mercy killing fo his daughter way back when, and just gt extended leave to deliver a vehicle for 10 days, or a pregnant woman who is about to give birth, and the first year of child-raising (unless deemed an unfit parent by social services).

Hey! At least it's the party doing what I voted them in for in the first place. About time.

[Canadian_Mind]

took awhile eh?

Maybe we'll get the slushbreakers by 2020.

Sweet, more taxpayer money sending people to prison. Oh well, good thing I get to foot the bill with you guys.

Do you honestly care that more money will be spent on punishing criminals?

[Donny_Brasco]

Good people make mistakes. Not everyone belongs in jail.

Not everyone goes to jail, but those that need to should.

Of all the things my tax dollars go to this one of the few things I won't mind.

Not enough people that belong in jail are in jail.

I'd rather have my tax dollars spent locking criminals up then let them freely roam along the streets.

to help cover costs, a penal colony should be established in the far north, consisting of a base prison with several work camps. Have the prisoners extract metals, other minerals, possibly oil, etc. The companys would pay minimum wage (8.50 per hour per prisoner) to the federal government in exchange for services developing mining sites or actually working in them.

Would also help establish our presence in the north. Worked for the Brits in Australia.

[ridenrain]

.. worked for the russians too.

Simply forcing someone to stay in their own house or neighborhood isn't much of a punishment so there's really little point to it.

Nice to see we're finally starting to dismantle the Trudeapian socialist state though.
