Get tough on crime?
Throw them into the slammer?
Throw away the key?
Build more prisons?

Heard that from government in Ottawa and Victoria, lately?

- Budget cuts, courthouses are closed
- Budget cuts, not enough crown prosecutors
- Budget cuts, not enough police on the streets
- Budget cuts, not enough lab time to support police and prosecutors
- Budget cuts, not enough sheriff’s deputies
- Budget cuts, not enough court clerks
- Budget cuts, not enough judges
- Budget cuts, not enough legal aid

Criminals freed because budget cuts prevent them being found guilty and put into the slammer!

But lots of tax cuts for the corporate world.
Is there something wrong with this picture?
