    „The bill was defeated in parliament 192 to 136 votes“

    What do politicians even do in this country

  2. Liberals and NDP voted unanimously against this bill. CTV left that out of their article.

    I want to know why they voted against it. Was there something nefarious buried in this bill like one of those omnibus bills? Have these politicians explain themselves for once. Or are they just a bunch of lemmings following their leader off a cliff?

    Criminals like this don’t deserve a hearing every year

    If 5 years is too long then make it at least like a 3 years gap

    Why? Just why?? How is this not something that should have unanimous support?

  6. Why are criminals being constantly shown favour over victims? Yearly parole hearings is just a way of forcing additional punishment on victims families. All those who voted against this type of common sense change should be ashamed of themselves.

  7. >Brantford—Brant MP Larry Brock said the bill was an opportunity for the government to take a stand.

    >“They are living a life sentence as a result of this brutal, senseless murder,” said Brock. “This is an opportunity for parliament to finally take that particular position that we need to have appropriate balance in our criminal justice system.”

    >The bill was defeated in parliament 192 to 136 votes.

    Why does the article not include the vote breakdown. 164 liberal seats voted against, as did Bloc and NDP. Only conservatives voted yay for this. It’s unfortunate because there’s definitely an issue with our current parole system.

  8. We’re doomed. And the Liberals will get a majority next election. Elbows up!

    This is so screwed up. We care more about the rights of criminals than we do for victims.

    Natalie Provost is pretty certain the courts are going to convict a couple hundred thousand gun owners this fall lol.

  11. These Liberals are no different than the Trudeau era ones. In case you were still gullible enough to believe otherwise.

    They will do anything to keep the conservatives as the bad guys, even if it’s detrimental to Canadians.

    Bad, stupid amendment. The regular rule is that, if you’re eligible for parole from prison and the parole board denies you parole, you can have another hearing in one year. The proposal is, only for people convicted of 1st degree murder, who must serve a minimum of 25 years in custody before applying for parole, have a different parole review rule: they can only reapply every 5 years.

    A year is a pretty long time in a person’s life. Have a parole review once per year, once eligible for release from prison, is a lengthy but reasonable amount of time. It allows for more granular decision making; the parole board doesn’t need to worry that, if they say no, this person will have to serve at least another 5 years in jail. For instance, if the board thinks a person is close but not quite ready for release, they may choose to release him early if the alternative is to release him years later than they think it’s most “safe”.

    How do the Liberals continue to make such poor decisions? This is an obvious win for everyone who’s not a murderer. Unbelievable man.

    People claim that we vote for individual MP and not the party when floor crossings happen, but you’ll notice they all vote in lockstep with their party regardless of the issue.

    >Bill C-243, also known as Brian’s Bill, sought to amend the federal Corrections and Conditional Release Act, so people convicted of first or second-degree murder cannot apply for a parole review and must wait for their next mandatory review.

    So, uh…why did the NDP and liberals vote against this? I can’t find any hidden „gotcha!“ in the bill. Seems like it was genuinely trying to keep murderers where they belong for at least *some* period of time.

    Doesn’t matter anyway. The supreme Court would shoot it all down just like last time changes were attempted even if it all passed unanimously.
