Well it was Harper who went to the GG and asked for it. Back in 2004 he told that GG to look at the opposition before listening to a defeated PM begging for an election.
Your hatred is your own, and it's clear that facts won't change your mind. But your list has all venom and no facts behind any of your claims (well, except for your means of making a living. I don't know what you do, but the Conservatives have taken a hard line on criminals.)
......but is the line effective. Every expert I've heard and spoken to in the field of criminology, law enforcement, and the legal system has said he's wrong and it won't work., yet he and his bum buddy Vic Teuws have ignored the advise and went ahead anyways.
Let see - the members of the national police chiefs have all opposed Harper's attack on the gun registry. While it was expensive to set up, they do not want it all wasted by removing it completely. I guess your experts are the writing staff of the Harper brochure writers.
Unfortunately your last point has already been tried in BC(?) and failed. With all the hullabaloo and roadblocks that are put up to keep RECAll off the books, what makes you think a politician will pass a law that might have them end up in jail.
Why, what does that have to do with ANYTHING? Do you really think Harpo has a better understanding of Canada then Iggy? Why give Harper a chance with a majority? We have already seen what an asshole he is with a minority. That is like giving Gadhaffi nuclear weapons. Harpo has squandered the surplus it to a decade to build. The Libs put together a buffer, which they continually criticized in opposition, and squandered when in government... so when the recession hit, we ended up with record deficits. That is the stark record of your so called "safe pair of hands". Why not give Iggy a minority. If he is that bad, he will be quickly defeated and we will have a new liberal leader.
Why do you need experts? We can simply look south and see what the effect is. In the US the harsh sentences have led to a soaring crime rate as time in prison hardens criminals, forces them to join gangs and build a network of criminal contacts. The US is has the highest rate on incarceration in the world, it is bankrupting them and destroying their society.
Geez nb! Woddya expect Cons to do? Look at places with low crime rates and copy them? Those places are socialist! (in Con/American terms, not as the rest of the world labels things.) They're societies that emphasize community and common values, human support and development. Total opposite of America. You're asking them to give up idolizing outlaws!
Actually the rational is that the other choices are as bad (or worse). Of course this opinion will vary depending on people's political leanings.
You mean like the Japanese? They have been praised by many for their civil behavior in the face of disaster. They are perhaps the most civil and advanced society in the world.
Iggy worked at Harvard for 30 years. That's in the US not Canada. Guess Canada wasn't good enough for him to live or work in. So now he comes back cause he thinks he can be PM. He doesn't care about Canada, just the taxpayer dollars that will be going into his pockets. Lets not forget the nice pension he will get if he does win. Like I said, fucking parasite.
Give me the name of an academic who would give his left nut to teach at Harvard. The fact that he taught at some top universities in the world and for so long tell most normal thinkers he was good at what he did. Did he give up his passport or citizenship at any time? Then he was very much a full time Canadian who taught at one of the most prestigious universities in the world.
