3 month max penalty. This and the federal government are a joke.

Neat so BC isn’t trying to be portlands little brother anymore? No more revolving door of crime?

Well seeing as we still don't have a place to accommodate those we are supposed to deny bail for, I really don't see any major changes in the future...

This wouldn’t be happening if riverview didn’t shut down… it’s like our society is more backwards then ever

I doubted that the crown office was independent, and now the matter is on the table and on TV. The problem is if there is an authority behind the judiciary to decide which criminal stays in prison and who goes home. This means that the same authority may decide to send innocent people to prisons.

Still not gonna fix the problem. This is like a bandaid on a severed limb.

I still don't like or trust the CBC or the BC government.

Good for them. Hope it works as intended.
