As If There Were No More Important Issues Enough ...
... this is what truly matters to Harper and his Harpies:
They.Must.Be.Exposed.
Say - why not make them wear a scarlet letter while your at it, Harpies?
So there they go again - fearmongering and posturing all tough on crime to distract folks who do not know better, therefore leaving them oblivious to the actual issues at hand.
Sounds familiar, eh?
What's next - flag burning? A return to the same-sex marriage question yet again?
Now, such petty and pathetic tactics on the part of neocons like Harper and his Harpies is something that is fully expected. What actually grinds my stones is that only a tiny minority of folks out there are apparently wise to this - while the media is snoring along (as usual) and the LPC and NDP are ... out there, missing out on rebuking Harper's fearmongering efficiently.
Say hello to a Harper minority government (at best) one more time, folks.
Harper vows to allow naming of 14-and-over youth guilty of serious crimesAh yes - nothing else matters more than getting tough on crime - especially on (shriek!) youth gangs (shriek!) and all those 14 year olds out there who are up to no good.
Stephen Harper vowed Monday that a re-elected Conservative government would reduce protections under the Youth Criminal Justice Act for young people convicted of serious crimes.
Under the Conservative leader's proposal, young people 14 and over found guilty of crimes such as manslaughter, murder or aggravated assault would face tougher sentences, and no longer have their identities protected.
The act currently forbids the release of young offenders' identities, unless the accused are found guilty and handed adult sentences.
Judges would also be allowed to decide whether a young offender who is convicted again for a less serious crime should be identified.
(...) Harper said the tougher sentences would act as a deterrent for would-be criminals.
“In this new legislation, the main purpose will be not only to rehabilitate young offenders, but also to protect society, and the primary goal of sentencing will be to deter others from violating the law,” Harper said at an event.
