It is surprising that Ontario does not feel the same sense of alienation from Ottawa as does BC or Alberta. There have been Jane Creba type situations out here for 15 years. The Reform Party called for stiffer legal penalties, prescribed minimum sentences, automatic and quick deportations for serious crimes committed by non citizens. The Liberal Party ignored the pleas. The Alliance Party called for the same. The Conservative Party has called for the same thing. Again the touchy feely revolving door Liberals ignored them.
In fact Chuck Cadman who lost his son to the same senseless violence got elected as a Conservative in Surrey BC on that issue alone. The Liberals ignored him. Now, after Jane Creba, maybe the Ontario people will finally agree to get rid of these frigging Liberals. How many Jane Crebas do you need?
Please note this. Andre Thompson, the only person so far charged in relation to the Jane Creba murder situation, was sentenced for an armed robbery on Oct 6. He had a previous record for the same thing and for other charges like assault. What is Sam Hell is he doing on the street two months later? If the courts will not protect us from these lunatics, then the House of Commons must. Criminal Law is exclusively a federal jurisdiction. These matters are completely within Martins hands. The Liberals have ignored this area for decades with notice after notice. The Reform Party brought it to their notice. The Alliance Party did the same. The Conservative did the same. Where is the Liberal leadership? They are too busy handing out envelopes full of money to Quebecers.
Maybe after Jane Creba, the people of Ontario will start to feel the same sense of alienation that we feel out west. The west has been saying this over and over for the last 4 elections to no avail.
I can already foresee the Liberal approach. They will have a task force to develop some touchy feely approach that focuses on rehabilitation and take years to define. They will ban handguns as if that is the answer. We need answers not posturing. They will do everything except amend the sentencing provisions of Criminal Code which is the frigging answer. They will do anything that doesn̢۪t change the mess they have with the Ministry of Immigration. If the people of Ontario re-elect the Liberals then I give up.
