There's an International Conference going on in Halifax right now exploring and expanding on restorative justice. Apparently, Canada is a leader in this field - no shit - we are the biggest criminal coddlers on the face of the earth. I am delighted that we have a Conservative majority and sanity will be returned when it comes to sentencing. All those Liberal appointed judges will be told to start handing out realistic sentences. We all know of instances where little Johhny has repeatedly fucked the system over, had his wrist slapped a bazillion times, but judgey pooh thinks he deserves yet another chance to turn his life around. —Albert
