What good reason do you have to think that?

Isn't this sort of racist by the judges? They would be discriminating against the victims of the crimes because the defendant is native

This is stupid.. Another stupid decision by judges. I have no faith in the justice system anymore. Time for the people to dish out their own punishment as the courts aren't going to.

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/opinions/opinion/are-canadians-more-conservative-no/article1895649/ There have been some drifts in public attitudes, mostly by Canadians becoming more socially liberal. Focus Canada finds Canadians much more tolerant or supportive of gay marriage and abortion – and less favourable to capital punishment – than a decade or two ago. On crime – the Harper government’s big thrust – Canadians are way offside with the government’s approach. Eighty-two per cent of Canadians don’t fear crime in their neighbourhood, and 77 per cent aren’t afraid to walk there at night. By a whopping 58 per cent to 36 per cent, Canadians prefer prevention programs and education over tougher punishments as a way to combat crime. This sort of approach, of course, is diametrically opposite the one chosen by the Conservatives, who keep announcing headline-grabbing but functionally useless “tough on crime” measures. Seventy-seven per cent of respondents “strongly” or “somewhat” support federal gun regulations.

your comparisons are too extreme

and you claim i need to learn more about canada!! canadians are socially liberal and fiscally conservative you may claim majority of canadians are conservative but that doesn't make you right I didnt know majority of Canadians were against gay marriage, abortion, sexual education against InSite safe injection facility, against assisted suicide etc rofl

Backwards it have don't I

I thought Jesus was Tebows agent

as far as fictional characters in politics goes I prefer Pierre Poutine from separatist street.. at least that is funny

Jesus was a fictional character, he could be whatever political stripe you want him to be!

Read the thread please, B.C was the one whom brought up Gay marriage I just went along with it

Woah sparky, are you claiming there that most Canadians hold conservative values over liberal?

I never mentioned banking system at all, so don't assume that I think our banking system is liberal, it never was.

a conflict of interest is a conflict of interest no matter how small or big

I don't understand, liberal policies are about the same in any western country

I've been to Michigan, Ohio, New York states I'm currently researching their social policies

they are a more liberal state for failing to approve of same sex marriage in 1994? no, it says in 1998 they passed a law that banned same sex marriage and only just recently last year approved of civil unions for same sex couples liberal my ass

obviously we didn't lose as it never went anywhere it seems

really? in Ontario it was in the courts starting in 1999... Hawaii has yet to even legalize same sex marriage

What policies make these states liberal? Hawaii?! I've never heard of Hawaii ever mentioned as being liberal

Yeah but they are laughing AT her not WITH her .. big difference

California, Hawaii, Rhode Island aren't all that liberal in my eyes

Maybe you're right, the most liberal states seem to be the NE and NW states .. is that a coincidence that the most liberal states are next to the most liberal provinces of canada?

NDP is for legalizing assisted suicide so you will be allowed to legally do it!

I wouldn't consider U.S a conservative nation, I think it is half a liberal nation and half a conservative nation split down the middle
