—Do the crime, get no time
As I write this, I’m in the CTV Agincourt parking lot – about to do Canada AM on the disgrace that is the Rahim Jaffer “sentence.” And I’m doing radio hits on David Miller’s big announcement this morning.
What do the two cases have in common? Nothing – other than we are well to be rid of both Messrs. Jaffer and Miller in our politics, I think.
… so, the implication is that both the Crown and a jurist put aside judicial fairness for reasons that are political. If that’s the case, who said what to whom?
Pretty sure this is the first time a Liberal has ever argued for harsher sentences. Good to see you are coming around to the Conservative viewpoint.
I agree with you Mark laws do need to be changed.
People complain about two-tier healthcare… but what about our two-tier justice system?
I wish I was married to a junior Minister (who deserves to be fired in her own right) and was a former MP, so I could be a hypocrite and break the law without repercussion.
Be clear, I am a conservative and this makes me sick.
Rob just remember that the evidence was bungled by the police and could not be used, otherwise the charges would have been different. This is also a Provincial case not a Fed. Gov’t and Justice can not mix. He is a first offender and as I said the evidence was bungled, otherwise the results would have been different.
PLEASE GO TO THE COURT HOUSE AND READ THE CASE, YOU ARE ALLOWED TO DO THIS, ALL CASE ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
Piss off Mark. Trying to change the channel won’t work any longer.
The issue for me is not whether Jaffer got special, favorable treatment, even if he probably did. The issue is that he SHOULD have gotten special treatment. As a former MP, the system had an obligation to treat him harshly to ensure that there was no perception of political interference.
He should have been made an example of, especially for the DUI, with breathalyzer evidence in hand.
Piss Off Smelter rat. Please go read the court case info and you will find out the truth. This is not a Federal gov’t issue!!! Gov’t and justice can not mix.
I hope you have a first affense of the same with the evidence bungled and you will get the same results. Just because this is Jaffer you want to hang someone……………maybe it should be you.
Heh. Thanks for the happy thoughts Helena.
