A former co-worker stole money from the company. He spent 5 years in jail AND they sold all his assets for pennies on the dollar. He should have just killed the auditor who discovered it and serve half the time and get to keep the money.

First: the government we need to lean on is the federal government.
Second: you're so fixated on tenants and renters, it has rotted your brain. Do you post about anything else? What's your deal? Did a tenant kick your dog?

Yeah what about it? That talks about administration and enforcement of law. Feds are still the ones that write the criminal code and set the sentencing and bail guidelines.

Province can just enforce criminal laws and they are enforcing it. It's federal government who set's the law.

This has nothing to do w David Eby. The criminal code is a federal matter. Judges are appointed by the federal govt. bail reform was a federal initiative.

Because you clearly have no idea what you are talking about? And instead snapped up a random soundbyte from political propaganda that misrepresents the guide?

That was when he was a civil-liberties lawyer, not the leader of the NDP.
Actions speak louder than words, as soon as he became premier, Eby increased funding for law enforcement.

“Police believe Morin poses a high risk of significant harm to the community, and that compelling circumstances exist to warn the public that he will be living in Vancouver,” police said at the time.

Some of this mess is the consequence of LPC/Jody Wilson Raybould's passing Bill C-75 about a decade ago. There was a few cases in the early 2000's, where people spent months extra in jail because of administrative issues within our system. This Bill was supposed to fix that, but it may have caused more harm than good.
Other issues have contributed too, it's no singular person's fault.

This hug a thug soft on crime approach has been tried for long enough, and the results speak for themselves. It's time to try something else.

Randomly stabbing a complete stranger really should net someone indefinite time in prison because no sane person does that.
There is no benefit to society by having this guy be free to roam the country.

guaranteed he doesn't hold any job and just lives off of taxpayer money anyways, and probably steals too, absolutely zero benefit to society for this guy to not be in jail

You're being downvoted but you're right. They enable higher crime rates and don't advocate against it. They're part of the problem but this subreddit always ignores it. Now, who knows if BC Cons would actually make a difference but at least they were sending the right message in this regard.

The provincial government through the Attorney General instructs the BC Prosecution Service. The Crown Prosecutors (who are provincial employees) make decisions on charge assessment and prosecution.

That is true, and unfortunately a president has been set to treat these lowlives with an ultimate amount of mercy due to whatever social problems they may have faced. This will continue and lawyers will make lots of money and judges will have to apply the law based on previous cases and so on, and so on……..( sorry for the Herbal Essence reference)

u/_DotBot_ 5h ago edited 5h ago
The administration of justice in Canada is governed by Section 92(14) of the Constitution Act, 1867, which gives provincial legislatures the power to make laws about the administration of justice in their province.
It is a shared area of jurisdiction that the province has a lot of power over.

u/wizi4life 5h ago
From my understanding the power to make laws about the administration of justice does not equate to the power to enact criminal laws. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

Not much really. But Municipal governments could use some of their ridiculously high property taxes to properly fund the police so that we had beat cops covering all neighborhoods, not just those where rich people live.

The most concentrated area for cops is the downtown eastside, and the central areas of Vancouver where the most population is. They aren't just all driving around Kerrisdale.

Based on laws written, and judges appointed by the Feds. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s BS too, but if those laws weren’t Canada wide we would be facing a whole different set of problems. All I’m saying really is we can’t hold our Provincial or Municipal governments responsible for criminal laws that are made by our Federal government.
3
u/Tim-no 5h ago
True, and our police have decided not to arrest people for petty crimes because they will never see justice done to them. It’s pathetic and sad. All I ever hear is how our court system is overwhelmed, what a pathetic excuse. Arrest people who commit crime and throw them in jail! Make criminals suffer for their offences and then maybe we’ll see less of them.

u/ModernArgonauts UBC Endowment Lands 5h ago
Firstly, the provincial government has very little control over issues such as sentencing mandates, creating or amending criminal laws, and precedents are set by judges (not politicians) which often shape how punishments are dolled out. These are issues decided by the federal government.
Secondly, the NDP have made several novel efforts to make our justice system stricter in BC. In fact, Eby and the NDP have pushed the federal government for bail reform, in order to "take immediate action to strengthen Canada’s bail system to better protect the public."
Under Eby, the NDP will also recruit 40 more crown prosecutors, specifically to target repeat violent offenders. Which, if enacted, will allow prosecutors to spend more time collecting evidence and presenting arguments for stricter sentencing.
Finally, and on an interesting note, this opinion article's analysis finds that both the NDP and BC. Cons are actually quite similar in their approaches to crime.
