Poilievre Unveils 'Three Strikes' Crime Crackdown to Tackle Repeat Offenders

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has announced a new 'Three-Strikes-and-You're-Out' policy aimed at curbing violent crime in Canada. The proposed law would mandate a minimum 10-year prison sentence without parole for individuals convicted of three serious offences. Poilievre blames the current Liberal government for a rise in violent crime and says his plan will restore safety to Canadian streets. He also emphasized that the policy would be crafted to comply with the Canadian Constitution. The announcement marks a strategic shift in Poilievre’s campaign focus toward law and order.

Headed in the right direction! Enough is enough why do we keep releasing criminals that reoffend

 @LyingOilNeoliberalismfrom Ontario  commented…6 days6D

Tough on crime is fine, but we also need to fix the economic incentives that lead to repeat offenses in the first place—just locking people up isn't a long-term solution.

Poilievre vows to crack down on crime with three-strike law proposal

https://nowtoronto.com

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre insisted Wednesday that his promised three-strikes law wouldn't run afoul of the Constitution.

Finally, some common sense on crime—repeat violent offenders shouldn’t keep getting a free pass. Glad to see Poilievre putting victims and public safety ahead of woke catch-and-release policies.

More government power and mandatory minimums? That’s just more state control masquerading as safety—how about addressing root causes and respecting individual rights instead of bloating the prison system?

 @7KZTKFKLiberalismfrom British Columbia  commented…6 days6D

This kind of tough-on-crime approach sounds more like fear-mongering than real solutions—what we need is investment in prevention, mental health, and rehabilitation, not more mandatory minimums.

Dangerous and repeating offenders should be taken off the streets

Kamala Harris is considering running for president again in 2028

Kamala Harris has been lying low since her defeat in the presidential race, unwinding with family and senior aides in Hawaii before heading back to the nation’s capital.But privately, the vice president has been instructing advisers and allies to keep her options open — whether for a possible 2028 presidential run, or even to run for governor in her home state of California in two years. As Harris has repeated in phone calls, “I am staying in the fight.”She is expected to explore those and other possible paths forward with family members over the winter holiday season, according to five people in the Harris inner circle, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal dynamics. Her deliberations follow an extraordinary four months in which Harris went from President Joe Biden’s running mate to the top of the ticket, reenergizing Democrats before ultimately crashing on election night.“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”Harris concedes: 'We must accept the results of this election'SharePlay VideoMost immediately, Harris and her advisers are working to define how and when she will speak out against Donald Trump and reassert her own role in the Democratic Party. Closing out her term as vice president, she’s set to preside over certifying the November election she lost to Trump, and then appear at the once-and-future president’s inauguration on Jan. 20.“There will be a desire to hear her voice, and there won’t be a vacuum for long,” a person close to Harris said.At the same time, Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, will have a long checklist to plow through before they leave the Naval Observatory for good.They have to decide whether they’ll take up permanent residence at their home in Los Angeles, or establish a base elsewhere. No matter where Harris and her family live, some around her have expressed concerns about safety, as her Secret Service protection expires six months after stepping away.

Rashida Tlaib calls On Blinken to Resign Over Gaza war

A US congresswoman urged Secretary of State Antony Blinken to resign for not changing the policy on arms supply to Israel."Secretary Blinken exposed his lie by announcing that there will be no change to any policy, despite admitting that the Israeli government has still failed to comply with all of their demands."Secretary Blinken has continued to lie to Congress and should resign," Rashida Tlaib said on the floor of the House of Representatives.Her remarks came after the State Department said Tuesday that the US would not change its policy on arms transfers to Israel even though the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip remains dire.A deadline was set by Washington in an Oct. 13 letter for Israel to ramp up access to aid within 30 days in the besieged Palestinian enclave or risk US military aid.Tlaib said the Biden administration continues to ignore reports that Israel is blocking humanitarian aid into Gaza in violation of US and international law."The Israeli government is using starvation as a weapon of war," she said, showing a picture of a starving child."US law is very clear: No nation blocking US humanitarian assistance can receive US weapons. The Biden administration cannot pick and choose when they comply with our own laws."Children are forced to eat pet food and bug-infested flour, look at this and do not turn your back on again, being complicit to this war crime, but Blinken says there's no need to change our own policy. Shameful!" she added.Eight humanitarian aid organizations said in a statement that Israel has failed to meet the criteria set out by the US to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza.Israel has continued its devastating offensive against Gaza since a cross-border attack by the Palestinian resistance group, Hamas, on Oct. 7, 2023. The onslaught has killed more than 43,700 people and rendered the enclave almost uninhabitable.Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its deadly war on Gaza.
