What a joke of a justice system. How many break and enters does one have to do to go to jail ? Canada has become a haven for criminals . How much money must be waisted on policing , charging , processing and then releasing these criminals. Hard time is what is needed as it at least protects the public from these constant repeat offenders while they are incarcerated.
