    Here’s an article about that last chance bail:

    [N.L. judge criticizes ‘inflammatory rhetoric’ on bail reform, as he grants bail to repeat offender](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/n-l-judge-criticizes-inflammatory-rhetoric-on-bail-reform-as-he-grants-bail-to-repeat-offender-9.7122668)

    > He said more people are in pre-trial custody than ever before, and that opinions are likely shaped by media coverage of releases gone wrong.

    > “It is those such events that inspire what I view to be inflammatory rhetoric such as ‘jail not bail,’ or ‘catch and release,'” Wadden said.

    Pfft this is Canada he’ll be out on second last chance bail or as I like to call it super penultimate bail.

  3. This stuff is eroding what little faith Canadians have in the justice system.

    I don’t think proponents of this realize there’s a tipping point and people will stop calling police at all.

    Nobody wants that.

    I feel like it used to be only Nat Po that was doing these type of judge-screwed-up stories but now everyone’s getting on board.

    I’m sure this will be the last last chance just like that never ending final destination movie

    Can we deport this guy? Probably some country that would take him for money

    The Liberals have done so much damage to Canada over the last decade. The Liberals have messed up our immigration system. The Liberals have messed up our justice system. The Liberals have messed up our ability to get our natural resources easily to markets both domestically and internationally. The list goes on.

    I had such high hopes for Carney that he could undue some of the damage done by Trudeau (both). I am losing confidence.

    IF only someone could’ve predicted this. The judge should be disciplined.

  9. Usual suspects.

    Don’t worry, he will be on last chance bail again, and again, and again.

    There needs to be more pressure on the federal government regarding the issue of bail and the judicial system; this is a joke.

    Sounds like someone whose parents threatened consequences after counting to ten, but never got past three and a half.

    Allowing people likely to reoffend out on bail doesn’t help anyone. It obviously endangers the public, and if they do reoffend, then they’re in even more legal trouble and less likely to be rehabilitated.

    Can’t we just leave him on rowboat a little outside Canadian waters? The world would literally be a better place if he were to vanish.
