As Dennis Prager points out……everything the left touches, they destroy……and a s Derek Hunter points out, the left is the left everywhere….just because Canadians and Australians seem to be a lot like Americans…..well..lAmericans before leftism took over…..they are not…..they are leftists first and only……everything else is just a human skin they wear like leather face…….
Canada has implemented the same vile bail reform that we have here in the U.S…….and crime is going up there just like here….
Crime is up in Canada. In 2021, there were over two million police-reported Criminal Code incidents (excluding traffic), 25,500 more than in 2020. The violent crime rate increased five per cent, while the property crime rate decreased one per cent. Nationally, there were 788 homicides, 29 more than in 2020, an increase of three per cent. Forty-one per cent involved firearms, and 46 per cent were gang related.

But the “unintended consequence of the reform” according to former B.C. attorney general Murray Rankin, was that more repeat offenders, some of them accused of random violence, ended up on the streets — with deadly results. One such incident was the murder of Ontario police officer Grzegorz Pierzchala in December; the man charged in the killing was out on bail, had a warrant out for his arrest and had a lifetime firearms prohibition. After that, provincial and territorial leaders wrote to the federal government asking that they make it the accused’s responsibility to prove why they should get bail in cases where a firearm is used.

If they don’t want a repeat of 2006, the Liberals should tighten bail restrictions and revive old Tory reforms
