The stabbing death of a 14-year-old girl in Toronto this week, and the subsequent murder charges against two teenage acquaintances, opens a year in which Canada's youth justice law will come under intense legal and political scrutiny.
Parliament is expected to vote in 2008 on legislation to radically toughen the Youth Criminal Justice Act by increasing sentences for serious youth crimes and making it easier for judges to keep young people locked up before their trials if they are considered a risk to public safety.

I guess it wouldn't occur to you that there may be constitutional problems.
Instead you blame the liberals.
You, either cannot read, or, are a moron.
No! I blame the opposition. At least I have gotten you to admit that the failure to implement necessary law and order legislation does not rest with Harper.
well you certainly are a prize aren't you?
Well, you thought yourself clever by thinking I admitted something, when now I've got *you* to admit there *is* a problem, so now you can explain why Stephen Harper is boring the shit out of us AGAIN by blaming the liberals and trying to ram this through without making sure the law is effective?
When there is a problem, you deal with it, and try to make it better. Which, it seems, is what the liberals have tried to do. The Tories, are content to whine like big screaming babies as per usual, it's somebody else's fault for their failure to offer more solutions, and try to ram through legislation that could likely fail anyways, rendering the entire process useless.
And this is the 'facts' you smugly proclaim the right seems to have?
pfffft.
I don't think either side is without blame, however this incessant whining about how it's ALL the liberals fault is just plain stupid.
Do us all a favor and just stop it, and try looking at it with a slightly saner viewpoint, if that's in any way possible.
Go ahead and trash this comment. It has too much truth to it.
