Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

[Halifax Tar]

That would have been far too simple & speedbump free0

Well we suffered through a government for a decade that wanted to force change instead of influence it.

Apparently PM Carney is introducing some bail reform next month.

Carney will introduce legislation next month to tighten bail system​

He's really getting shit done.


Too bad it only took this government 11 years.

Another one.

Man who killed sister, injured 7 in Manitoba mass stabbing was out on bail​

and what will he do about the judges and JPs who consistently ignore the warnings? The laws are already there someone needs to enforce them

I believe judges and courts that hear criminal cases fall under the provinces. Call your MLA.

I think an unintended consequence of the constitutional division of duties for criminal proceedings (Feds makes the laws, provinces administer them) is it allows the Feds and the provinces to point fingers at each other when things go pear shaped. The devil is in the details do determine who is responsible for what inadequacy.

Human rights and constitutional lawyers all across Canada are rubbing their wallets with glee!

FTFY.

Best seen quote seen today. Mark Carney is a temporary foreign worker.

so call the provinces out on it instead of wasting time with unnecessary debate, if indeed the laws are in place to keep the bad guys in jail prior to trial.,

That's pretty funny, was that intended as an insult?

There have been foreign workers in Canada working on a lot of the fruit farms for my whole life, and generally they were all extremely hardworking people that only took Sundays off for church, so from that perpective wish all MPs were more like TFWs.

I remember watching a NFB documentary in grade school in the 80s about tomato farmers in Ontario. Mexicans and Quebecers…

Growing up in the fruit belt it was a lot of Cubans and South Americans. A lot of them came back every year as well as seasonal workers for decades and were there for the whole season.

It was pretty hard work, and they hired on summer students as well to help with the harvest, but I guess there was just a lot of the actual farming that is not able to be done by machine so there was a lot of care and tending that started in the spring, through the harvest, then into the fall when they set all the orchards up for the winter.

The critics of the abused TFW program (goes way beyond the CPC at this point) are NOT TALKING about ag TFWs. Even Pierre makes it clear that the ag fill in TFWs have been there for a very long time.

They are criticizing the Timmys, wendys, hotels, fast food, etc where it is grossly abused. The reports coming out now on several news agencies of employer abuse in these programs is getting sickening.

Back in 1964, Time magazine quoted Actor and U.S. Senator George Murphy as saying that foreign farm labor programs are necessary to California because, among other reasons:

"You have to remember that Americans can't do that kind of work. It's too hard. Mexicans are really good at that. They are built low to the ground, you see, so it is easier for them to stoop."

 

[ArmyRick]

Adding to the TFW boondoggle, ho many here have seen the footage pop up of Mark Carney in 2013 or so criticizing the Harper government for using TFWs (when it was significantly lower numbers?)
There is also footage that popped up of LPC party leader at the time Justin Trudeau also criticizing the Harper government for use of TFWs, however he is history and acknowledged as a piss poor PM.

Not relevant to the current situation.

Which is fair, and I would agree with. There are also people actively searching those postings, applying then submitting complaints so see how that goes.
