Two speakers blast the government's response to violent crime in the Greater Toronto Area, blaming bail reform law C-75 for releasing violent offenders too quickly. They argue for stricter deterrence, longer sentences, and tougher conditions instead of house arrest for serious crimes.
I mean, the government shouldn't be involved in those things that private industry shouldn't be involved in.
And then in those cases, they're not even doing a good job. I mean, the crime rate here in the GTA and the place in which we are sitting, the place where I represent, is we're telling stories that I never thought was possible. It's here. So the core competencies of government and what they're even supposed to do right, they're not doing. Well, you ask yourself, what happened? What happened? Exactly. So here's the very obvious of what happened. You can say that it's policing and prisons and all of that, but we have very distinct changes to laws in this country. C-75 is one of them. It was their bail reform law. So they weakened the conditions around bail. They made it less onerous and they're letting people out at the earliest and least onerous conditions. That means violent offenders are repeating crimes. They got caught in the morning and they're doing it in the afternoon. Things on deterrence, which are like if I told you that violent criminals, people who use guns in crimes or knives in crimes or did sexual assault, they can have house arrest rather than the needed penalties to deter crime. It's not that complicated. It's not us saying it either. It's mayors, it's cops, it's police unions, it's everybody that's sort of walking around in their community. Like, WTF? Like, what happened? It isn't that complicated. And to, you know, to get a pointy-headed professor in front of a bookshelf telling you that there is like all kinds of complications with this, like, it's not that complicated. Put criminals in jail.
