Coming from a black community I really don't feel safe anymore. It's sad.
This is not rocket science. Crime (and shootings) started to go up 4 years ago.How about we stop giving bail to people with a history of violent crime in toronto...
The police say a lot of these guys just go in and out of jail.
Like i think more social assistance and such is good but that deals with the issue 5 years down the line, what about now.
Also I think the shootings are 'not bad' but i think they can go out of control if we react with indifference.

This makes no sense.I wonder what federal even occurred
one missing "t".This makes no sense.

But how? I already give up over 40% of my modest family income to taxes.- Address income inequality, and poverty
Cash bail is a failed, out moded idea that is being discontinued around the world.
We have more people clogging up jail cells who have NOT been convicted of any crime......some 59% of those in provincial jails!
As usual, pay no attention to Burloak who purposefully lies, misleads and otherwise confirms his poor education and thought process with every post.
The issue of bail is addressed here: https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/jr/rib-reb/bail-liberte/index.html
The system needs to be replaced with one that looks solely at the risk to the community of releasing someone from custody, rather than punitively trying to extract cash from people who often lack such resources, most particularly when they haven't
even been convicted of anything.
A secondary issue is that it continues to take too long in Canada for matters to go to trial.
There are a series of issues than need to be addressed to get everyone down to a trial within six months of being charged, which I think is reasonable.
- More judges and prosecutors relative to the number of charged persons/cases pending.
- Adequate court room spaces.
- The need to further remove unnecessary offences from the criminal law, wherever practical, including simple-possession drug cases and prostitution related offenses (consenting adults)
- The need to reform or abolish the jury system (smaller juries, reasonable wage compensation for juries, standardized jury charges to reduce appeals)
Amongst other matters.
The most cost-effective actions remain those that prevent someone taking up a life of crime in the first place.
- Address income inequality, and poverty
- Address the prevalence of fire arms.
- Ensure everyone feels they have hope/opportunity
- Squeeze the blackmarket through legalization where practical
Yes you need bail reform, yes income disparity but the elephant in the room is morality. It is not even in our vocabulary nowadays. I was born in Toronto and I have been poor and hungry but have never held a gun or considered hurting or stealing from others. The government can only do so much. There are stop signs all over the city, but it is the decision of each citizen to stop and respect the community as a whole. We know there are selfish people in Toronto, Markham, Brampton - everywhere, but if people raise their children properly crime doesn't get a foothold. There is no amount of taxpayer dollars that can create a civil society from a population that doesn't care.
Is the growing incomes of the 1% a concern. Statistics seem to show the 1% did very well from the early 1990's to the mid-2000's.But how? I already give up over 40% of my modest family income to taxes.
I refuse to use Fordianisms like efficiencies. Instead the solution may be to get government out of some roles entirely, and then use that money to build more permanent affordable housing, including supporting housing for the mentally ill and addicted. But what government departments do we cut? Here's where the money goes, at the provincial level. What's in the Other Programs?
Income | Tax Rate |
---|---|
The first $46,605 | 15% |
$46,605 to $93,208 | 20.5% |
$93,208 to $144,489 | 26% |
$144,489 to $205,842 | 29% |
over $205,842 | 33% |
