Good thing the LPC voted down the CPC bail and crime reform bill after insisting the Trudeau era bail reform bill wasn’t a problem for the last five years

I should have been a criminal, all the money I could have made with no hard consequences. I could of been a very wealthy person by now.
Criminals in Canada apparently can rely on either judges or lawyers. Victims and regular citizens are not protected. When politicians interfere in the justice system we see the results in the US. When they don’t take charge we see the results in Canada. I’d like to see a middle road where criminals are incarcerated to protect the public and repeat offenders get very long sentences.

I hate to defend a canadian judge but…
>Both the Crown and defence lawyers in Anderson’s case had recommended he be sentenced to 10 and a half years in prison. The judge dubbed their position “very lenient,” but he went along with it, anyway.
Seems like it was a plead deal that was accepted. But…
>Anderson “has a lengthy criminal record, beginning in 2015 with entries consistent through to 2025,” said the decision. “He has upward of 30 convictions for various types of offences, including breaches of court orders, crimes of dishonesty, property offences, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, flight police, assault police, weapons possession and, most seriously, aggravated assault.”
He is clearly a product of the non existent criminal justice system we have had for the last 10 years.
* The sentence was 10.5 years
* This was a joint submission by the Crown and defense, which heavily limits trial judge discretion
> Brannagan accepted that he was “not free to interfere on the basis that I may have a different view of what the sentence could or should be. I may only interfere where the proposed sentence would bring the administration of justice into disrepute or is otherwise contrary to the public interest.”

I wish these judges had to live in the same world that these criminals do. Maybe then they’d give out proper sentences to these kinds of people.

The most unbelievable part of this story is “reluctantly”

Ten years is not a light sentence. We’re talking kidnaping and treats, there is no mention of physical harm. Some people get ten years for involuntary manslaughter. Also, with that extensive record, good luck making parole.

Canada is by far the best country in the world to be a criminal. You can get away with almost anything here. What other place has child rapist serial killers volunteering in elementary schools and living their best life?
We dont even lock up child serial killers. What do you all expect lol.

Reluctantly?
Damn shame there wasn’t someone present who could, you know; act as a ‘judge’ and sentence this cretin appropriately…

We should be able to vote on whether judges can keep their jobs or not. Too many are not mentally competent enough to protect society. Yes the outcome is based on our current crap laws but also judges keep exercising piss poor decisions time after time with no regard to public safety.

Won’t someone think of the criminals?!
Crime really does pay here in Canada I guess
