Stephen Harper's faith-based crime wave took another hammering from the latest report showing that crime rates in Canada continue on their steady decline, reaching the lowest levels since the early 70s. That's "faith based" in that he chooses to follow his beliefs even while flatly ignoring four decades of statistical reality.
But what about, oh I don't know, MURDER? Sorry, Steve, that's down too - to the lowest level since 1972.
It would be nice if Steve could find a less expensive fetish than prison construction to indulge. Maybe he could take up cross-dressing or golf.
But don't you know that the problem is all the "unreported" crime. Once people are confident there is enough room at the gaol, they'll promptly report all that hidden crime.......Imagine the left out irony tags in the above statement!

ReplyDeleteMOS...I am so astounded at your pronouncement. Don't you know, he is creating jobs? Smile!!
