This guy sounds like someone who ought to be locked up for at least a 
decade.

This country is so messed up by all the bleeding-heart justice we've had 
for the last 10 years. The activist judges have eagerly followed the 
instructions of the "progressives" in the Liberal Party to give everyone 
possible bail, even if they commit new offenses while waiting for their 
trials on their original offenses. It's sheer lunacy. This has caused 
crime rates to rise alarmingly and offenders to reoffend with impunity. 
How is that making our country one bit better?

Remember, this is the same party that was working on legislation to jail 
people pre-emptively over things they MIGHT say in the future. (I feel 
sure that Carney and his team are working on getting that legislation 
passed again now that we have a parliament again. Oh wait, they're off 
for the summer already aren't they, just two or three weeks after 
returning to Parliament. But I'm sure he's got people drafting that 
legislation so it's ready for the next parliamentary session.) The 
Liberals are just like the Conservatives AND Labour in the UK with their 
desire to imprison anyone who says anything that might be deemed hurtful 
to someone's feelings and completely indifferent to people who rob, 
steal or attack people.
