i'm going to be out of the country on the 28th, how can i register for early voting?

Is it unreasonable to lock someone up for an extended period of time who has 30+ convictions?

This is infuirating -- the Liberals replacing one worthless POS candidate with another worthless POS candidate.

I just voted at an Elections Canada office. You just have to remember the name of your Riding's Candidate and write it on a ballot (they have a list if you forget, but only for the riding the office is located in). You can vote in any location doesn't have to be your riding. In and out in 10 minutes.

Beats lining up for 2 hours any day.

Is it unreasonable to actually have a place to put someone before deciding to lock them up?

Wood chipper

Oh yea, that’s an amazing excuse :lol

Fund it. You actually think that’s an answer? Just let people like these back into society? Pathetic.

Since I have time on my hands, I decided yesterday on a whim I'd apply to work at a polling station this year. Submitted an application and 24 hrs later they hired me. I am now officially a civil servant lol.

I looked into it but it only pays $20 an hour

This wasn’t even an accident, you deliberately murdered someone and you’re out on bail.

You can't throw someone into a jail cell that physically doesn't exist genius. Saying "fund it" is easy. What's PPs plan to actually build more of them?

Dunno, find some money wasted in frivolous causes out there, I’m sure there are many.

We can find billions of dollars to buy back useless firearms or house asylum seekers surely we can divert funding into public safety.

We’ve spent a decade funding countless useless causes, money is around.

You probably could have built multiple prisons with the difference in the F35 fighter program

$20 then 1.5x after 8 hours. They say the election day is about 14 hrs.

But yeah, you don't do this for the money. It's more just for something interesting to participate in.

I'd like to hear why this plan bad.

That’s the exact same rhetoric as a decade ago…

Buying back anti tank rifles and bazookas stops intimate partner violence?

Hanging your hat on “fixing” a problem that dramatically increased during the exact same time of your parties rule… right..

Again.. amazing what happens when there’s no repercussions for your actions, and no system to hold you accountable.

No more bazookas is the answer.

Can someone point me to data/resources that outline what Honda describes as a totally failed criminal justice system? I'm asking so that I can form an informed opinion on the problem. Other than my opinion that the VPD has a terrible leader and is far too political I generally have no opinion on whether things are working or not - far as I have personally observed things are ok and there are far more important things for us to be focused on than crime and the system behind it.

Intimate partner violence is rising worldwide. Is it happening more often? Or is there a possibility that people are actually reporting it with a higher frequency than previously, or both?
I can tell you when my step dad put my moms head through a door when I was 5, there were no cops involved....
The beacon of justice the US has seen the same increases in the same period.
We've talked about this before, the problem needs to be addressed at the root of it. Substance abuse, and a lack of respect for women are the drivers and need to be dealt with at the source. Punishing the act doesn't prevent it. There needs to be aim taken at the misogynistic and violent influences that capitalize on young male anger.
Parents need to stop raising pieces of shit.

From stats can, plug in whatever years you want

I went from 2008 to 2024, almost every chart tracks from Federal conservatives, to the decade of liberals which almost every year was an increase over the last.

The data is all there.

To westophers point in being unreported, property crime and petty crimes have risen steadily during this period when undoubtedly you can say that both go frequently unreported and are not captured in that data, so increases over time are likely greater than the data shows.

No one reports when nothing happens lol.. so it obviously doesn’t go the other way.

I don’t disagree with anything youre saying, but you don’t find it a bit odd that that chart literally outlines almost to the month of federal leadership, with one considered tougher on crime and immigration and the other much more lax? It tracks perfectly.

As does the stats can crime index I posted above.

All of that is tangible data outlining everything I’ve been talking about here, it’s plain to see, from an unbiased source.

Are you going to volunteer to be a prison guard too? Because we'll need to staff these hypothetical prisons as well. And like many thankless public service jobs no one wants to work them because Canadians are too good for that line of work. So we'll need more immigrants which raises the cost of living, which puts more people out on the street, which causes crime to go up.

You see, not so easy as just throwing money at it right?

Violent crime in the UK follows almost that exact same path you outlined. I think it's fair to say government in power only can bear a certain amount of responsibility for those numbers. At the end of the day, these are choices made by the population and those choices go far beyond being based on the punishment at the time.

I also want bail reform. I also want violent offenders off the streets. I also want multiple time violent offenders to be absolutely fucked by the system when the proof of the pattern emerges. But more than that I want people to be dissuaded from violence before it happens. I don't believe divisive rhetoric that comes from the modern day conservative majority addresses that. You can't deny PP has based his political career on gotchas and division, and so far, Carney isn't doing that.

That's an option, but is anyone actually planning to do that? Carney's plans (while I agree with them) will have the same issue. If they haven't actually outlined how they're going to get people charged quickly and where they're going to go once charged then increasing sentences is pointless because offenders just walk when there's nowhere to put them. Piles of intimate partner violence cases are already tossed out because they can't be processed quickly enough.

Correlation does not imply causation. I don't blame the Conservative gov'ts of Alberta and Sask for being the underlying cause of why the last decade have been a waste economically because they weren't entirely in control of their destiny - the correlation would say they are the reason per capita GDP has been flat for the last 10 years but it's not really a credible argument.

Implying that as soon as the Liberals took power that criminals decided to start committing more crimes is also not a credible argument. Cops don't get laid off right away, court budgets don't change right away, sentencing requirements don't change right away.

Point me to the underlying analysis of why the numbers moved the way they did - courts got fuller? did gov't relax laws? did funding get cut? When did those things happen and what are the actual correlations?
