mandatory minimums

These policies always work, as criminals are all both very aware of current laws, and always plan out all of their actions carefully, taking into consideration all possible factors and potential outcomes. :wall:

The only effective way to reduce crime is to reduce the number of criminals. The way to do that is through education and social programs, but those things take years/generations and require patience and compassion. I took a look at Little PP's record and neither patience or compassion appear.

It also requires looking at criminals as complex people, not as black and white villains. Poverty, mental health, addiction, cost of living and wealth distribution are all interconnected factors affecting crime rates which don't have a simple fix but require equally complex solutions.

Yup, that's the education and social programs I referred to.

The fix also requires money, which requires corporate tax rates to increase to more traditional historical levels (you know, like in those great 1950's everybody remembers so fondly

), and once again Little PP is on the wrong side of that. He still believes that rich corporations are the measure of an economy, as opposed to the standard of living of the every-day citizen (IE the owners of the resources the corporations plunder).

"The Conservative Party of Canada has dropped a Quebec candidate after he harshly criticized Liberal candidate and Polytechnique shooting survivor Nathalie Provost online.

This is at least the fifth candidate the party has dropped as the April 28 election nears, and the second in Quebec this week."

SW Ontario
All the red election signs went missing overnight in a nearby riding. This is the second time that entire communities have seen their election signs go missing. Seems desperate but not unexpected considering pride flags get swiped there too. Evangelicals, calvinists, dominists in a buybull belt.

Orange signs were vandalized and stolen in my community during the campaign for provincial election. Just another similarity between conservatives here in my neck of the woods and MAGA. It just solidifies my "opinions" on the UCP in my province of Alberta.
