So we're not supposed to build any new jails? Increasing population, current overcrowding, combined with facilities that have outlived their usefulness. Oh ya, right...we just don't want anyone to go to jail period. It's too right wing. Let everyone go if they promise not to be naughty again. Who cares about the victims of crime. We can just pretend they don't exist. We want everyone to be free.. to love.. and to just ..be. That's the Canadian way.

@footluv71 no, the canadian way is to spend billions jailing people for non-violent things like growing and using pot. that is what these jails are for. the only reason we have the jail problems we have now is because we are putting mental patients into jails instead of hospitals, and we are putting real crooks into the Parliament and Senate. #robocall

@rider4343 well, police stats show that crime is at a 40 year low, so if anyone is wrong or lying about how much crime exists, it is the cops.

crime is down. it is about to go up

@rider4343 Check your facts you idiot. You talk big thinking you know things when you quite obviously don't. Crime rates have been lower in Canada now then in the past decade and that is a PROVEN fact. You think building prisons is important? How can you possibly believe that knowing crime rates are down and Stephen Harper wittingly cancelled the Kelowna Accord. He is spending billions that should be going to First Nations instead of using approx 5 billion a year on building useless prisons.

@footluv71 there is no justice if there is two sets of rules...white collar crimes crimes who have many many victims always go unpunished...and diddlers walk free...while we lock up pot smokers? makes no sense ...downright stupid and unsustainable just like government pensions

[footluv71]

@RussLBarth Jails are not being built for the non-violent. Nothing like your ideology getting in the way of the facts. If you've been paying attention(and it's obvious you havent) The jails are to address overcrowding and to keep violent repeat offenenders...let me say that again VIOLENT REPEAT OFFENDERS behind bars where they belong. Nobody is going to jail for growing a few plants of weed. Even if they were charged, they would recieve a fine or a conditional discharge.

The "Arab Spring" last year, was all thanks to the Internet. Combine C10 with C30, and Stephen Harper can "suspect" anybody who disagrees with him online of being a terrorist and have the rendition squad pay them a visit.

Why do you people think that crime is at a low? Under the liberal government of course crime is low. There isn't that "drive" that pushes people to work harder, knowing the government has your back. Why steal when you know that the government will pay you employee insurance for a year? Under conservative policies, that's gonna change. Of course crime is going to increase, thus more prisons. Why would Harper pump 5Billion into First Nations? How would that help the economy????

[SuperTurbo1200]

@DOPEFRESHBRAH First Nations ??? lol. If Natives would get jobs they wouldn't have any issues they already don't get charged income tax. wtf else u want to do for them ?

Crime is not down if its down its because cops aren't arresting or convicting snuff criminals. Serial rapists are still on the street because we have no where to put them the prisons are full you jack ass !
