We're all shocked at the rate of inflation and we all complain about the high interest rates because we all benefited from all that free money for so long. If we drop interest rates that's not going to help reduce inflation. Breaking the Saudi oil monopoly will. Promoting domestic production of natural gas will. Rejecting the fake environmentalism seeking to overthrow civil liberty and the free market will. The Lord of the rings was a dramatic saga depicting the subtle struggle between good versus evil. The ring which the ring bearer was sent to destroy represents the greed that seeks to consume and destroy us.
Time for woke judges and Trudeau Liberals to end the soft-on-crime experiment
The National Post is reporting that "The Canadian experiment in free-range, low-consequence crime has failed miserably. It’s time for its enablers — the bleeding-heart politicians, judges and non-profit operators who insist on forcing the Canadian population to bear the burden of criminality — to call it off. The hypothesis of these irresponsible advocates was this: criminal behaviour will magically wind down if the government ensures the provision of free drugs, generous bail and light, often racially-discounted, criminal sentences. Any perceived uptick in violence that results will simply be absorbed by the privileged public."
"Toronto police data shows the city has seen a 400 per cent rise in break-ins with intent to steal a vehicle." This is because of organized crime. We can deal with this through the Bait Car program and with Task forces that are willing to follow Apple Air Tags and recover stolen vehicles en route to their foreign destinations on the railcards and in the ports.
We have seen the anarchy that results from failed liberal policies in Portland, Chicago and Northern California. Yet we need to be leery of manufactured solutions to manufactured problems. We don't need to allow negligence empower the police state. We don't need US incarceration rates. We simply need to uphold the law. Mind how you go.
back at home in Canada we have massive oil ,natural gas and hydro electric power available to us to the point that if these resources were properly managed Canada would be totally self sufficent and able to export these commodities to the world ,we need a national pipeline refineries and hydro corridor so we dont have to import billions in saudi oil to the east coast but I guess that doesnt work for turdeau who has no vision and is driving our economy into the ground
ReplyDeleteExactly. Pipelines create zero emissions from transportation.
DeleteSpeaking of the government refusing to punish criminals, I’m surprised you haven’t been covering the trial of Umar Zameer. In that case it’s the exact opposite. Seems like everyone accept the TPS (officer has been accused of lying on the stand though) and the crown attorney can see the guy is obviously innocent of murder.
ReplyDeleteYet they insist on wasting hundreds of thousands of our dollars to maliciously prosecute
The guy.
DeleteI'm not familiar with that case. Sounds pretty weird. Running over a cop in an underground parking lot doesn't sound like an accident. I guess that's why we have trials.
More like a tragic set of circumstances than an accident. Doesn’t make much sense that a man brings his wife and toddler to watch fireworks then decided to murder a cop for no reason. Definitely makes for an interesting trial
DeleteYeah I'm not familiar with the case. Just sounds kind of hard to fatally run someone over in an underground parking lot by accident. If they didn't know they were cops and thought they were muggers maybe but it still would have intent. Does sound like a tragedy.
DeleteMost of the news companies are reporting the police narrative. If you are interested in the story the Toronto Sun is reporting the actual facts from the trial. Defence claims that he never intentionally ran over the cop, that he fell under the rear wheel unseen.
DeleteArguably manslaughter but that’s along way from 1st degree murder
Like I say I'm not familiar with the case and it doesn't involve drugs or gangs. I hope the courts sort it out.
DeleteAlthough most complain about interest rates, they have been higher, much higher. In the early 1980s I recall signing a mortgage for 19 1/2% and that was the best rate available. On the other hand, we were able to build 53 townhouses with that money. What the difference is this time, is the price of land and the prices placed on homes. A new 3 story townhouse in Metro Vancouver costs about a million. Salaries have not kept up with that. The prices are high on any number of items, but salaries have not kept up.
ReplyDeletethe price of some food items have sky rocketed but these same products are made locally so its not transportation which causes the increase in price.
Traditionally houses and food were not expensive in Canada, today not so much. Its like some one decided to have us pay what Europe was paying
e.a.f.
The oil monopoly and the insane price of gas is a major source of skyrocketing inflation because everything we buy in stores is transported there by trucks. Having said that, a couple of weeks ago I bought a small container of olive oil. I used to buy it for six bucks. Now it's 12. In just over three weeks it doubled in price.
