That's all? I get people think we who live next door are vengeful savages when it comes to crime, but there's something to be said for life sentences for instances like this.
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

If someone is still profitable and they've been in for too long, Canada has got to consider letting elderly/long term inmates stay locked up if that is what they want. If too much time has passed, it means chances are- they're not going to adapt to the outside world because the change is too abrupt and disruptive for them. They'll purposely break parole or do something bad, so they can go back.
The alternative is that they maybe go the way of Brooks Hatlen. There is no point in entering the world that has changed too much, from the one they have left, if we're talking many decades.

I knew the Conservatives were gonna have a hard-right populist drift, if anything I'm surprised it took them this long. Pollievre is still going to win the leadership election in September if things keep going like they are, and that will solidify the party's drift to the right. Might also cause them to split again, which would pretty much kill any chance they'd have of winning. But, I think they'll be able to keep it together.

This has been less than amusing I must say. No cell phone, and no home internet. Can't pay for shit. I wonder what the government is planning to do about this?

I hope at the bare minimum they uphold the CRTC's ruling that Shaw and Rogers be banned from merging.
As for me, it hasn't affected me quite as much since while my phone is part of Rogers, my TV and internet is handled by Shaw, so I'm not completely fucked like many people are across the country. Does suck big time, though.

Interac being down across the country is fucked. Who carries cash anymore, let alone the 200 bucks required to fill your vehicle with gas.....
