Document Summary
Very dif cult to get across the american border with marijuana possession charges. Canadians are prepared to have their rights violated for the promise of security. Expect to see changes (from administer of justice. If immigrants get terrorist charges sent them back to where they are from. Takes away judges ability to be human. Section 12 of the charter sticked it down (can be cruel and unusual punishments) Bringing shisha over the border without paying taxes has a mandatory minimum of a year. No matter how high the sentence its never enough to the victims and the family. Will not bring back the people that are killed. Instead of contributing to the mental health institute they pass laws. We don"t endorse crime prevention because it does not get votes. Should put resources towards helping drugs/alcohol addiction. But isn"t isn"t publicly appealing so resources go towards laws. 15,000 people homeless in canada (not including youth homeless)
