The Proprietor Review

British Columbia Chinese culture…

The Chinese people have made significant contributions to Canada and its development as a nation. Recently the Government of Canada has been developing a museum to remember their input as well as the to provide a forum to enjoy the rich culture they brought with them.

The Province of British Columbia and the City of Vancouver are working together to have Vancouver’s Chinatown designated a United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage site. As part of this, the Province and the City have also committed to establishing a Chinese Canadian Museum. You can read the B.C. Government news release on the commitment to establish a Chinese Canadian museum. http://www.engagegov.bc/canadainchinesemusum

The first successful heart transplant to leave the hospital.

The sentencing of a confessed multiple killer in Canada today is a serious matter. Gone is the equal value of life that criminal sanctions for 1st degree murder protected. The Harper government opened up an age old resource in 2010 when it allowed for popular reasons to be used in the penalties used in dealing with once capital crimes. Gone is the life sentence as defined as 25 years in jail with faint hope at 15, and with a life time of being on supervision. The jail release could be challenged by a ” Dangerous Offender” motion brought by someone to continue detention in jail beyond the 25 years.

Hardened criminals and hardened corrections…

The incentive for escape with its public jeopardy is multiplied greatly along with more hardened correction people, harder public and a jeopardy for parts of the public to be hardened by believing that justice is in part according to ethnicity good or bad.

Hope…

Hope is going to be with convicted one way or another wether its placed in escape revenge or some other vehicle humans can’t exist without it. Look at the example of Stephen Harper for misplaced hope.

An internal study by the Justice Department, never made public, praised Canada’s so-called “faint hope” clause for murderers even as the Harper government pressed for – and won – its elimination.
The controversial clause, which allowed first- and second-degree murderers to request an early parole hearing after serving 15 years in prison, was repealed just two days before the federal election was called.
The repeal was opposed by the New Democrats and Bloc Québécois, but passed with the support of the Liberals after a difficult journey through committees of the Senate and House of Commons.

The man who paroqued parliament to steer Canada away from confidence in government to a emulation of the American system of fixed election dates. Is this another emulation of American style of desperate incarceration and hardened criminal manufacture by the system. Even the controversial Trump as done some reforms lately. Has Canadian justice turned to gambler effect balancing judgements off with other case popular sentencing of token minorities like gay or female, or oil producing rooted ethnics?

Aggravation

The question of how to deal with aggravation remains unanswered consecutive sentencing deals with more then one killing, how to deal with heinous single acts on one person, can the public stomach torture and faint hope or 25 years. YOU BE THE JUDGE!
