Repeat criminals targeted
Government proposal wants to make it easier to impose dangerous offender status
The federal government plans to make it easier to designate violent criminals as dangerous offenders so they can be kept locked up longer.
Legislation to be introduced next week was touted yesterday by Prime Minister Stephen Harper at the Toronto Police Association’s headquarters. It drew immediate praise from victims’ advocates but criticism from criminal lawyers.
The legislation would force those convicted of a third sexual or violent offence to show why they don’t deserve to be designated as dangerous offenders.
Currently, it is up to the Crown to prove that an offender should be deemed dangerous, a legal label that carries with it an indefinite sentence. “Canadians from across this country have told us they want action on crime,” Harper said, and he also accused the Liberals of having taken a “soft-on-crime” approach for decades.
Citing the case of offender Peter Whitmore, a pedophile who is accused of kidnapping and assaulting two boys last summer, Harper said “we have to do more” to protect society.
The proposal to force a person convicted of a third violent or serious sexual offense to show why they don’t deserve the dangerous offender label is called a “reverse onus.”
It shifts the burden of proof away from the Crown attorney’s office to prove an individual is truly dangerous and warrants an automatic indeterminate jail sentence with no eligibility for parole for seven years.
While police and victims’ rights groups praised the proposal yesterday, defense lawyers said it goes against long-established principles in the Canadian justice system, which require the Crown to prove aggravating circumstances to justify an indeterminate sentence.

I covered the evil plans of this government and the perverted values it represents earlier, so I will only post a recap here as it is once again upon the table before the TARGETED Canadian people.
First POINT: There are no good murderers and bad murderers - there are only murderers. -
Second POINT: There are no good rapists and bad rapists - there are only rapists. -
Third POINT: There are no good victims and bad victims - there are only victims. -
Fourth POINT: The Canadian Justice system is based on the concept of innocence until proven guilty - not the other way round -.
Fifth POINT: Fear of sexuality is a perversion.
All consensual sex is the same as all murder is the same as all rape is the same.
The Conservative government in Canada is once again trying to enforce the culture of lies upon the Canadian Public. They are hoping to create a mirror image of the United States here through the effective end of the separation of Church and State in Canada. They desire to end the Charter of rights here and begin to imprison many innocent Canadians - as there are many innocent victims in the United states - through the criminal system. They use LOADED language and avoid the facts to convince the public that they know what's good for Canada. Isn't our country perfect the way it is? It's certainly better than the United States.
Remember this about the Conservatives...
They think SEX is an evil force that Canadians need to be protected from.
They do not support the rights of minority's.
They desire to create a culture of shame and superstition in Canada.
They intend to end the separation of Church and State in Canada.
FREEDOM is just a word. That is all it will ever be unless all Canadians are prepared to do 3 things - if you are not... you do not deserve freedom -.
- Be ready to SACRIFICE your freedom in order to protect it.
- Be ready to KILL in order to defend freedom.
- Be ready to DIE in order to defend freedom.
The Conservatives want to lie to Canadians - yet again - it is time to send them packing.
