Well, That Answers That Question
On another note, I will be getting heavily intoxicated the weekend after the convention. If anyone else wants to come to the drink-a-thon, let me know and I will try to make it more of an official Liberal Kegger and book a bar and such. This is just in the idea stage right now and with any sort of support, I might try to make it a reality.

Shoot Me in the Head!!!
Ok, I am as shocked as much as you are, but I actually agree with the Cons in an actual policy. Now, before I get ahead of myself and support the idea, I do want to take a long look at the amendment...then get someone to dumb it down for me.....then get someone to dumb down the simplified version....so I know for sure that there are no loopholes that people could exploit.
There are two major parts to this amendment, the first one is that after the third violent or sexual conviction, the convicted offender will have to prove that they should not be considered dangerous offenders. This rule is kinda similar to the three strikes: You're out policy that they have in the States, but watered down for content. It does have the same potential for problems that occurred in the States with that policy. Once you get two strikes, if you are still committing the same crimes then you are going to shoot your way to bullet-ridden corpse. Yes it does deter to some degree, but it also increases more violent offences. The same thing COULD happen here as well, but to a lesser extent....and I do emphasize could.
The second part of this amendment is to increase the peace bond from 12 month max to a 24 month max. I think they haven't gone far enough. This should be extended for the length that the person requesting the bond requested without any timeline for a maximum. Peace bonds are meant to protect the individual requesting it and it shouldn't have an expiry date. At least this is a start and I do have to give them props for that.
I guess I still have a little bit of Conservative left in me, but it only extends to crime. I am all for rehabilitation and counselling but there is a line that you have to draw to say that you're fucked up and there is no help for you. I know that’s not politically correct but we all think it and we all know someone who is beyond help and for the greater good of society should be locked up for good. We should always try to rehabilitate criminals in hopes that they will become a productive member of society but we do have to draw the line once the options are exhausted. I guess I will be getting flack for this but this is the great thing about the internet....I can say whatever I want to on my blog and there's nothing anyone can do about it!!
Muhahahahahahaha

Need Help People!!!!
Ok, I have been gone for quite some time now. I was busy getting my license, and a car. Now that I have that out of the way I am going to get back to some blogging. By the way, I am going to post some pics of my car tomorrow and I apologize in advance for the low resolution. I don't have a camera and my Sony-Ericsson got stolen so I have to rely on the VGA quality of my Motorola.
Anyways, I have a dilemma. There are two different things that I want to do at the end of November but I don't know which one to choose. The laziest way to do it is to make you guys decide for me. I am considering joining the Laurier Club so I can become an Observer at the LPC convention in December, and I also want to get a PS3. Now the problem is I don't have the money to do both and I need to decide. So, over the next few days, I want ANYBODY WHO READS this to give their opinion on what I should do. I am very perplexed as to what I should do as both options are of high priority for me. I already have a place to stay in
P.S. This is an A or B type response. If you can’t come up with one, then kindly don’t say anything at all. You can give your reasons for either response but just don’t stray off topic.
