PAROLE INELIGIBILITY REDUCTION DOES NOT EQUAL A SENTENCE REDUCTION – A life sentence is for life. “The fact that a person is eligible for parole doesn’t mean they’re getting parole. A person released on parole would continue serving a sentence, being under strict supervision with the possibility of returning to prison until they die.” “The American system of justice is a horror. I know that Mr. Harper and Mr. Poilievre would like to bring that in. But God help us. Ours is so much more merciful and so much more decent.”

YOU CAN’T EXECUTE A PERSON MORE THAN ONCE – “The ruling does not mean that multiple murderers will walk free after 25 years. It does not mean they have a right to parole once the minimum period has expired. It means they have a right to apply. In any such proceeding, the onus is on the prisoner to show why he is no longer a threat to society, not on the Crown to show why he is.”

  • “POLITICIANS CAN NEVER RESIST THE URGE TO TURN A MESSY LEGAL CASE INTO A CHEAP POLITICAL PROP” This refers specifically to DOUG FORD and PIERRE POILIEVRE. But then, the lack of knowledge of the facts never restrains their political proclamations. Michael Spratt explains:
  • THE DIRTY TRICK OF SPEED CAMERAS – It’s about making common conduct an offence for money. Their real purpose is to raise revenue and not to increase safety. The fact is that posted speed limits are not calibrated to the speed of the flow of traffic and are not intended to be strictly enforced. Travelling at or below the speed limit is usually, in practical terms, dangerous. (Try it some time.) Speed camera thresholds do not accommodate reality.
