October 5, 2011- The Mandatory Minimum Se...UPDATE! October 5, 2011- The Mandatory Minimum Sentencing legislation has been rolled into the Conservative "Omnibus Bill". NINE previous crime bills the Tories were unable to pass have been rolled into ONE big giant wad of FAIL - paedophiles who hurt children and Canadians growing 6 Cannabis plants are included in the same Bill! I'm sorry, and pardon my language, but that's just *insert expletive here* crazy. Seriously. How obviously ridiculous is that!<br /><br />It's a Catch 22, there's legislation in the bill addressing laws about people who hurt kids and who wants to argue with that? Everyone wants people who are a danger to children kept away. Alas, I have to fight the bill because it insanely includes Mandatory Minimum Sentences that enact legal disregard for someone growing a small personal garden of 6 pot plants compared to an organized crime group who have 200 plants in a warehouse. <br /><br />This is why we need judges, their discretion is imperative, especially when it comes to non-violent people who's only offense is growing a plant for personal medicine or relaxation.MaryJane Cannabianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10047679366767151464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456122020434111736.post-85196334241816525782010-05-21T16:42:39.775-04:002010-05-21T16:42:39.775-04:00Thanks Frank D, no one is more dedicated than you ...Thanks Frank D, no one is more dedicated than you when it comes to keeping us all informed about Bill S-10 (C-15).MaryJane Cannabianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10047679366767151464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456122020434111736.post-43586115301425311612010-01-31T18:15:55.144-05:002010-01-31T18:15:55.144-05:00JUDGE FOR YOURSELVES!
VIDEO: The so-called "...JUDGE FOR YOURSELVES!<br /><br />VIDEO: The so-called "gutting" of Bill C-15 by Liberal Senators<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mfc0YtUZuYk<br /><br />Description:<br /><br />Clause 3 of Bill C-15 being amended during the Dec. 3, 2009 Senate Committee meeting (clause by clause examination of the bill).<br /><br />***This video contains evidence that debunks the Conservative claim of Liberal Senators "gutting" Bill C-15. In fact, the two Conservative Senators who had questions about the amendment (Sen. Carignan and Sen. Wallace) seem to have difficulty containing their giddiness over an amendment they both interpreted as making the bill "stronger"! Not exactly the reaction you'd expect over an amendment that supposedly "gutted" the bill.<br /><br />*Don't believe the spin!...<br />---<br />Department of Justice press release (Jan. 29, 2010):<br /><br />"The opposition has obstructed that agenda in the Senate, most notably by gutting Bill C-15 a bill proposing mandatory jail time for serious drug offences, and a key part of the governments efforts to fight organized crime."<br /><br />http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/news-nouv/nr-cp/2010/doc_32473.html<br />---<br /><br />Read the full transcript of this committee meeting for yourself:<br /><br />http://www.parl.gc.ca/40/2/parlbus/commbus/senate/Com-e/lega-e/47574-e.htm?Language=E&Parl=40&Ses=2&comm_id=11<br /><br /><br />-FrankDFrankDiscussionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313023876409857454noreply@blogger.com
