Conservative MP Rachael Thomas has tabled a private member’s bill that would require courts to impose consecutive prison sentences, rather than concurrent ones, for sexual offences.
Let’s congratulate MP Rachel Thomas for her thoughtful insight. This would seem to be common sense but not in the world we live in today. Who ever thought concurrent was adequate definitely needs a lesson in common sense!
I am glad you are so good at math Rich! It seems you do not believe in justice for All. It seems a watered down and divided approach is your way of ensuring a just and fair deterrent!
So if an offender is found guilty of 10 charges and sentenced to 1 year per charge, served consecutively they would be incarcerated for 10 years. If served concurrently, they would serve on year. That is what conservative and concurrent mean. What kind of math are you referring to? I need some clarification to understand your point.
There is lots of room in the prisons if you hot bunk the prisoners. 8 hour shifts in the bunks in turns and 16 in the common areas. Use the notwithstanding clause when the dissenters want to take it to court.
It does not cost me $100,000 per year to live in my home and feed myself. I don't earn that much. Are our prisons so luxurious? Let the prisoners work on something useful to pay for their keep. They might even learn payable skills.
I hope so too. It's been a long time in coming & needs to be passed asap!! Especially with what's happening in the U.K. & Europe, it's only a matter of time before it becomes even worse.
I really hope it passes but I am highly doubtful. The Liberals, NDP and the Bloc just voted down the Conservative bill on bail reform. Even if it passes, there are still too many activist judges acting like social workers rather than applying the law. An Indigenous criminal who sexually assaulted a girl just got a lighter sentence because he was Indigenous. Here's the story covered on Juno News:
Hmm and Canada started its immigration schemes in 2015, really makes you think about it huh! I fully agree with this action and hope the Liberals we'll see they're way to protecting us properly!
While I agree with Thomas on her bill. I think the conservatives are not up to do much in regards to effecting the lieberals time in parliament. It's the same as has been for the last ten years, lots of word salads thrown across the floor in the hoc, but no real determination.
Her bill makes complete sense, concurrent sentencing is a B.S. scheme and should have no place in our system of jurisprudence.
I agree and hope it passes.

Hi Wayne, the math is simple, the sentence is divided by the number crimes.

At one time wasn't a rape sentence death?

O
Wait.
CBC to the rescue.
No room In The prisons. Costs $100,000 dollars to incarcerate criminal annually.
Somehow that makes it ok to release bad people to steal and murder.
And yet?
Root cause?
Unfettered unvetted immigration.

Why should prison be made comfortable!? Don't do the crimes and you won't be in one. I'd say crappy conditions might be a deterrent.
It does not cost me $100,000 per year to live in my home and feed myself. I don't earn that much. Are our prisons so luxurious? Let the prisoners work on something useful to pay for their keep. They might even learn payable skills.
It’s about time.. and if it’s costly in prison deport them from wherever they’re from. Time to clean u Canada !

Such a good, commonsense idea. Will it pass? Doubtful.
The Liberals & NDP will ensure it won't. Mind you, not many private members bills pass anyway so it's doubtful this one will.
I read a clip that indicated the Liberals, NDPs and the Block voted against it. I do not understand why.
Liberals seem to in some strange way bond with the criminal element. 10.5 million comes to mind.
How inhumane! They should be treated with respect. They are the victims. They need more chances. More milk and cookies.
WTF is wrong with this insane government???

The Degenerates in our Canadian parliament will vote it down.
I fully agree with this line of thinking. Our justice system need a complete overhaul. Right now, there doesn't seem to be any significant deterrents.
If you do the crime, you do all the time. There shouldn’t be any exceptions. Why make it easy for criminals?
No early release.
I really hope that Canadians see the immense value Ms. Rachael Thomas, M.P., is for all of Canada/s future!

And a lot of extremely stupid voters.
Which only proves we have an authoritarian government in Ottawa.
