Proposed three-strike rule does not stop crime

American style justice is not wanted in Canada

To the Expositor:

Once again, Pierre Poilievre has shown his true leanings. He has said he will introduce a three-strike rule for violent offenders. Nothing is more American than this punishing law. This law has not stopped the rising crime rate in the states and the building of more jails. They may need it in a country where everybody and their dog can get anything from a pistol to an automatic weapon; yes?

Bail rules and other parts of our justice system certainly needs change.

However, American style justice is not what we want in Canada. This is just another example of Poilievre’s hidden agenda. He will gut our bureaucracy, remove the CBC and make our justice system unrecognizable from the American system. He likes slogans! Perhaps the new one should be, anybody but Poilievre.
