Leonardo Rizzuto Shot in Laval

[Prairie_Cruiser]

Has there been any discussion between politicians and lawmakers on changes to sentencing guidelines or arrests to at least give the look that they want all this OC crime violence to stop? You can't say it's just gangsters killing gangsters up there.

It is not really discussed at all and politicians never seem to campaign on it. Not sure why. Every once in a while something will trigger public outrage. We are just not tough, comeptent, or sophisticated at fighting organized crime.

In Canada all criminal law is passed by the federal government. In the US each state has a law against murder as well as the federal government. The provinces in Canada do not have this option.

In Canada by law you are eligible for release after you serve two thirds of your sentence for most sentences. And can apply after only serving one third.

Also because we do not have a life without parole sentence it leads to some really sickening parole hearings. Prime examples are Paul Bernardo and Clifford Olson. The families often have to give multiple victim impact statements over the years.

In my opinion I feel like the police in Canada are more competent then we are in the states. f you watch any show about cops and criminals, they speak about mounties? (Canandians on horseback) in glowing terms. Like these criminals get away with all this sh*t then some guy on horseback comes in galloping in 3 feet of snow and the criminal waves the white flag...

The US probably has more variance in quality but the top level capacity is greater in the US. Best to see Canada equivalent to a large US state in most regards

I also feel like in Canada they always crack open the biggest cases, but when it comes to actually convicting people they lay a big popcorn fart.
