Fallout from Pickton Case leads to better support for vulnerable victims

Recommended Posts

Oppal also stated that the criminal regulation of prostitution contributes to the marginalization of women. I wonder if Harper would ever respond to that!

 

Also, this article is very, very, VERY misleading. The inquiry was rejected by the families and many groups affected by the inquiry. These responses also fail to acknowledge or consult with special interest groups and/or families of these women...unless of course they support the criminalization of sex work. Funny how that works.

 

And check out this post by a criminal defense lawyer:

 

"Buried deep within the new bill is an amendment to the Criminal Code that would allow anonymous evidence to be introduced in court, limit disclosure of information to an accused, and curtail cross examination.

 

In short the Victims Bill of Right creates a made-in-Canada Star Chamber (Note: the Star Chamber was a secret court - abolished in 1641 - used as a political weapon which became synonymous with abuse of power)" (http://www.michaelspratt.com/law-blog/victims-bill-of-rights-the-poison-pill)

 

Can Harper just stop already? Grrrrr
