Oh Mr. Toews here we go again!

You and your tough on crime agenda. It's doesn't dig deep enough!

You want to impose mandatory minimum sentences for people who commit gang and gun related offences. That's all fine and dandy if you just want to punish the people but why not prevent the crimes from happening. We've seen an increase in gang related shootings of late. Stats Canada released the information yesterday stating the very same information. You want to use this information to scare people into believing that you need to stiffen the sentences and get tough on crime. What you need to be asking is what has brought on the increase in gang related activities. If you really want to get tough on crime you need to get at the roots.

I don't know how many times I have to tell you Mr. Toews but your solutions to a problem that can be prevented is irresponsible of a government. I truly am disappointed that you did not comment or read my open letter to you!

Well here's to hoping the opposition has some foresight and stop this from going through making it law!
