Thanks Peachy :) Yeah it baffles me that were wasting money on jails when as you said the rehabilitation programs cost less than the jails and appear to be more effective at cutting down crime than throwing people away in jail. And your right if crime is down why do we need tougher laws or more prisons? I will admit that I do like that the conservatives put money back into the military that was badly needed. Although I don't like how they handled the F-35's at all. And their whole handling of the EI situation doesn't sit well with me either. Just sounds like it's gonna make it harder for honest people to get EI, force people into jobs that they are not suited for at all, and not really do anything to help people actually find work. Having just recently found part time work in my field I am particularly sensitive to that one. This is kind of the problem with majority governments, that they can pretty much do anything they want and get away with it until the next election. Debate can pretty much be shut down by the government if they don't like it. But than if you look at the alternative with minority governments, not nearly as much can be accomplished because of the fighting among parties but at least there is more debate.

I've been following this bill for a while, as while no one in my family is a card carrying member of any party we do tend to follow politics. I have to say good for you for participating in this particular protest. There are a lot of things in this bill that just don't sit well with me, particularly the tough on crime agenda, more prisons, and mandatory minimum sentences for crimes. I find it funny that the conservatives are pushing for more jail time when one of the most conservative states in the U.S., Texas, is basically going the opposite route. They've done studies that show when you focus more on punishment and less on rehabilitation the chances that a particular offender will re-offend goes way up, especially in drug related offences. There are also taking away a judges discretion to take into account mitigating circumstances for other offences as well. And god knows what else they are trying to ram through. Now I'll admit that I am a bit left leaning when it comes to politics so I may be somewhat biased. But the fact that this government is doing everything in it's power to limit debate and ram this bill through just doesn't sit well with me. I still haven't forgot about Harper basically closing down parliament to avoid loosing power. And don't get me started on their EI reforms :mad:

Playing with my sisters cat, which we've basically adopted. Had my foot underneath a pillow on the floor she likes to lay on and just happen to lift it up with my foot while she was walking by and the cat basically jumped backwards four feet in the air. Funniest thing I've seen in a long time, her expression made it just that much better too. So she starts creeping back towards the pillow and I do it again and she jumps back again, lol. So now whenever she gets close to pillow she gingerly creeps by, it's hilarious to watch, lol.
