Meanwhile in canada Trudeau just put forward unbelievably stupid reforms to the Criminal Justice system
People (see: men) accused of domestic violence or with a vaguely defined "history" of domestic violence will effectively be held guilty until proven innocent for the purpose of bail. How the son of the man who implemented the Charter of Rights and Freedoms doesnt realize a reverse onus clause will never survive a Charter challenge (via right to be presumed innocent) is fucking incredible.
They are seeking to eliminate preliminary inquiries, bafflingly indicating they are doing it to save time and resources when by all accounts removing them will do just the opposite.
They still have their feathers ruffled virtue signalling over the Stanley case and have thus UNBELIEVABLY BAFFLINGLY decided they want to eliminate peremptory challenges for jury selection. What. the. actual. fuck? The only way for prosecution or defence to have a juror excluded will be to prove to the judge that the potential juror is overtly biased. This is fucking insanity...
Then we have this gem:
It also modernizes the bail system, giving police the authority to impose a broader scope of conditions on accused persons without seeking court approval — something which could reduce the strain on limited court resources.
What the fuck this is even worse than what Harper's conservatives did...
They claim they are trying to reduce strain on justice system resources but these changes will only result in MORE pretrial detention, MORE lengthy trials, and more convictions. And most ironically to their virtue signalling, the hardest hit will be aboriginals and poor who cant afford to fight a lengthy/difficult battle just for bail.
This is unbelievably absurd.
