Liberals demonstrate their love of criminals

There is absolutely no such thing as a system where there wont be outrageously bad anomalous outcomes. The question is, how does the efficacy of our bail process compare to that of our peers. And the reality is that way to many people are being remanded to custody, and the bail process takes way to long. About 30 thousand people were remanded to custody in Ontario simply because they were not counciled to seek pre-trial release, and because the bail process is plagued by adjournments.

Because the entire judicial system is a ragged mess filled with incompetents and massive red tape. It is grossly inefficient, ineffectual, and should be torn down and rebuilt. The absurdity of taking years to get through even the simplest of criminal cases points to a system designed for the profit of lawyers and bureaucrats, not one that will mete out justice except by accident. Anyone who defends it is a party to that injustice.

Bail should only not be granted in extreme and rare circumstances when the prosecutor can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that there's either a risk to the public or a risk of flight. 

This is divorced from reality. The reality is the great majority of people arrested and held are repeat career criminals. It takes three or four years to get to trial now because of the way the Left has destroyed the legal system. If perverts and violent offenders and other street trash know they'll just roll out on bail again and not have to worry about sentencing for years then that sentencing becomes much less of a deterrent. A trial three years away? Phht! I'll just move to another town the day before.

Naww....didn't you know when you've worked for the gov't everything else is child's play.

I guess after years of child play, some people might need a new set of "criminals" to go after other than Yosemite Sam and Elmer Fudd, etc.

Any zealot, really.

Actually I think it depends on how you spell the word. I am not  Zealot (capitolized, and with regard to religion for instance), but I may be a zealot when it comes to guitars, motorcycles,.......Oh  and um, chocolate ice cream .

Why would you tear down one of the most effective judicial systems in human history?

That may be the case, but they have already served their time for those crimes, and they are innocent of new charges until proven guilty. In extreme circumstances bail IS withheld, but again that should be very rare. The state should not be able to just accuse you of something, and throw you in jail without a trial. And all we need to do to reduce backlogs, is stop dragging people through the courts on frivalous charges like using soft drugs, or growing pot.

Actually the opinions that I have seen the post line up pretty well with most Canadians. Yours however do not. Also... attacking someones patriotism as a method to win an argument is something only morons do.

And just what measure are you using for THAT assessment? Would you care to compare it to the one in place in the UK?

This is certainly an area where some Islamic countries have it over Canada.

Cite? Names? Generally when accused of a crime in an Islamic country you're thrown into a hole for months, sometimes years, without trial. Some, of course, are more efficient in that they simply bring you before a cleric, and twenty minutes later your hand is being cut off - or your head.

Crime rates, violent crime rates, murder rates, attempted murder rates. We compare fairly well with our peers. The system can be improved, but "tearing it down" and starting over again would just be flat out dumb, and your assertion is just meaningless rhetoric calling for something stupid that both of us know is never going to happen.. For the most part its just all British common-law. It has served us pretty well for many decades. And the courts in general are pretty much the only entity that stands up for your rights and mine, and protects us from "government gone wild" whether is conservative idiots, or liberal idiots that happen to be running the country. The courts are the ONLY part of government in this country where professionalism is still valued. The judges are people picked from our own populations, and for the most part they are really smart people... They know 100 times  as much about the law as you EVER will.

And my opinion is based on my own experiences. I FEEL like I'm safe from crime. I can walk down any street in my city at night with confidence. I find that overall we have an environment that's easy to operate in.

That is an absurd statement. You can't use crime rates to judge the worthiness of a criminal justice system. Crime rates are based on any number of factors, including societal order and culture as well as economic well-being.

Why? There is nothing to recommend the current system. Nothing. Whether it is criminal, family or corporate law, everything about the current legal system is arcane, unpredictable, extraordinarily inefficient, time-consuming and expensive. The only people it serves are the ones who operate within it and enrich themselves by taking advantage of its gross inefficiencies. It is basically impossible for ordinary citizens to understand or make use of since no one, even those within it, actually understand it, and the guild which administers it charges enormous rates to try to interpret it in your favour. Or not. They get their gold regardless.

And yet British common-law as used in Britain can see to it that most criminal trials are done in weeks while in Canada it takes years. Throw it out, and throw out the Charter as well. Get rid of the lawyers and nominate judicial panels of laymen to deal with cases on the basis of fairness, justice and common sense.

That's a pretty damned sad indictment given that in our system a learned judge can make a ruling on law, and then be unanimously overruled by an appeals court, which are themselves overruled by the Supreme Court. And if we were to institute some still-higher level of review, a sort of Super Supreme Court, it would, in all likelihood, overrule the Supreme court in many cases. And if we then had a Super-Duper Supreme court it would likely overrule the Super Supreme Court too. That's how screwed up and complicated our laws are.

Would you prefer to have no checks and balances within our system them? As has been pointed out we have very learned people within our court system, but nobody is perfect. As well, the high courts are more involved with the constitution and charter rights which I would hope even you would like protected.
