We are feeling the effects. Our population has risen somewhat significantly in the last two months. A lot are on remand, playing the waiting game.
 
I don’t know if you like Moose on the Loose podcast, but this episode is pretty good. He is making some good points and appears to have the evidence.

I don’t think there is any disputing Poliviere's stance. It's been clear and concise since the very beginning, even before the election anytime it was mentioned in the House.

Yet we have carney vehemently accusing Poliviere of the opposite and going against the constitution to do it. Not even trying to be coy or slippery in his words. Just flat out lying in plain old french. What’s wrong with this guy and his constant lying?

My dad would tell you that the federal prisons are bursting at the seams. He is an interesting confluence of political ideals and beliefs.

I think we are feeling the effects of decades of poor infrastructure investment, from transportation to prisons' to the CAF to hospitals. I think the GoC Canadian citizenry needs to realize we have been spending to much on our wants (social spending) and not enough on our needs.

For sure.

However, which level of government builds/runs most (admittedly, not all) of the jail space? Not everyone ends up doing federal time.

And if jails are too crowded, how much less time are “guests” spending in jail (or being kept outta custody) because “sorry, no room at the inn”?

Any party platforms out there big on sending mo’ money to the provinces/territories to build more jail space? I haven’t heard any such promises but I stand to be corrected.

Another one of those federation problems (like health care) where, to mangle the proverb, failure often has more than one parent.

It's not even Trudeau! We have fundamental shortage of judges and prosecutors in Canada, something hired and managed by the provinces. Since we don't have enough, and because of the supreme court putting a time limit on every case, aggressive please bargins are made to get convictions before times up and people go free. If we want to fix that, provinces need to hire more.

There is a lot of problems that people blame te federal government for that they have nothing to do with.

Partially. Justices of the Superior and Appellate courts are federally appointed (I believe the province pays them) but, as pointed out, the majority of the load on the justice system is at the lower levels which are provincially appointed, which also funds the infrastructure, support staff, etc.

This.

Canadians are generally speaking spoilt children who have been fed too much ice cream and not enough meat, potatoes and vegetables.
I’ve probably offended vegans but…

Liberals ahead of Conservatives by six points as two key groups are ‘absolute toss-ups’: Nanos

A three-day rolling sample by Nanos Research has the Liberals at 43 per cent over the Conservatives who are at 37 per cent nationally. The NDP is at 10 per cent.
www.ctvnews.ca www.ctvnews.ca

Nanos first out of the block as usual.

Interesting little shift showing NDP votes coming back to them from the LPC. This could be the week that sees the LPC lead shrink. The cold feet thing I mentioned previously.

This could end up being a fight for minority status between the LPC and CPC.

Blanchet prédit une victoire de Carney

À dix jours du vote, le chef du Bloc québécois, Yves-François Blanchet, prédit la défaite des conservateurs de Pierre Poilievre et croit que Mark Carney remportera « plus que probablement » les prochaines élections.
www.lapresse.ca www.lapresse.ca

Article in French.

Interesting tactic on Blanchet’s part. And looks like he’s lowering expectations and hoping to be the balance of power for the LPC. I guess as a regional party he can afford to do that.

Case in point: heard a radio spot for this multiple times across multiple different stations in the last week.

Plain abject fear mongering by those of means, using disinformation so that they can use the electoral mass of those without to make needed reform too toxic to consider.

That said, the next majority voting block are Millenials. They will outnumber boomers soon. They also feel they have been screwed over and will likely be coming for what they will feel is their share.

A reckoning is coming.

Interesting that I can’t watch the CTV video down here. Haven’t seen that issue before.

I don't use a VPN for my personal devices as my wife tends to freak out when my locations jumps all around ;)
Out at NTTR for ISOF I had to put a phone on a USG Satellite wifi - and she freaked out when it appeared I was in Poland, she figured I was going all Bourne Supremacy or something...
