Texas to Canada: Harper's Crime Bill a huge mistake

http://www.leadnow.ca/keep-canada-safe - CBC reports from Texas where even tough-on-crime Republicans are telling Canada not to follow America's failed path of mandatory sentences and massive prison expansion, which cost billions and drove crime rates up.

Our Conservative government's Crime Bill is about the worst possible approach to justice imaginable. It copies the utterly failed war on crime that cost the USA billions and has only made things far worse. Mega prisons, massive criminalization of the poor, youth, and those who we should be helping not jailing. It will seriously hurt society, and is a completely un-Canadian approach.

Act Now to stop the cruel Crime Bill! Send a message directly to Justice Minister Rob Nicholson and your MP here:

This is awesome. Now we need to get Stephen Harper to listen and watch this. Send to Ottawa and sign the Leadnow petition! No to more prisons and NO to the death penalty!

So what's driving this in Canada? Even when the toughest of American conservatives saying that this is unsustainable?

@StraightZeroQuotient "This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. Franklin D. Roosevelt

@ostrich67 WRONG!! We cannot have tent cities popping up along the sides of Interstates like we are now seeing, filled with drug users and poor. They will raze the land, cut down our forests and pollute the countryside. I say, OFF to prison with these people, where you they at least employ a hard-working prison guard and help him raise his family!!! No more homeless, drug-addicted people at the sides of the Interstates in America. NO MORE. They deserve LIFE in prison.

@Cazper86 You're just a drugbag. Of course you cannot put together a coherent sentence, nor spell a proper word. The teeny bopper acronyms you use have one audience: those who don't vote, and therefore don't elect good governments like Harper's. Harper's government should find you, convict you and send you to prison with your drugbag cohorts - for LIFE!! What possible good comes from drugbag degenerates running around the streets? ENOUGH with criminal drugbags!!! OFF TO PRISON!!!!

@StraightZeroQuotient lmfao! Good luck with that..

[StraightZeroQuotient]

@Cazper86 No need to think about anything! It's all been thought about already. Dumb-ass miscreants like you need LIFE in prison. I will be on the guard squad, and proudly paying for my boat through your incarceration. When I retire, my son takes over and will be on the guard squad paying for HIS boat through your SON'S incarceration, plus doing overtime paying for his second car using the tail end of your incarceration. I need the boat, my son needs his boat and YOU, scumbreath, need LIFE!!!!

@StraightZeroQuotient I didn't realize i was going to be corrected lmfao. Obviously I have no need to defend against someone of your stupidity. Just read over what your saying and get back to me when your brain kicks in. Ok?

[StraightZeroQuotient]

@Cazper86 Hey shit-for-brains, it's "you're", not "your". ahahaha, you illiterate yokel. Of course, I'm sure you are on drugs too. Or just naturally stupid??? In any case, you deserve prison time, just for being so stupid. Stupid adult people are danger to society - they will kill you - they do not understand right from wrong, nor "you're" from "your". First life in prison, then after 25 or 30 years, electric chair. MuaHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

[Cazper86]

@StraightZeroQuotient HAHAHAA your a joke. people like you need help.. when was the last time you went to your psychiatrist?
