1. This shouldn’t be a political decision. The court’s decision at the end of his trial and appeals should be the deciding factor. If the Conservatives win can they change his sentence to death? Of course not.

   1. It shouldn’t be a political decision, but you might look and see that a political appointee made the decision.

      Here I was under that the “dangerous offender” designation was to solve the issue of letting those who should never be allowed in society again, to be kept locked up in the proper prison for their crimes…

      1. Exactly.

2. Yes, a request to transfer to a women’s prison is exactly what’s needed!

3. Kate for the win!

4. Maybe Bernardo can be the next Lieberal party leader.

   1. Dipper leader. Props to Derr Leder

5. I would wonder if this isn’t actually riskier for Bernardo. Sex offenders don’t often fair well amongst the general population in prisons if that’s indeed what’s in store for him. This may turn out to be an abrupt savings for tax payers.

6. I always felt that his partner in crime got off far too easy. Have always had the sense that she was not just the innocent victim. It’s like the killing of a couple and their son (the Richardson murders) by – presumably – the boyfriend of young Jasmine (age 12). He got life; she got a lot of sympathy and minimum sentencing, but always had the feeling she’d pushed him to commit murder because her parents – having discovered the relationship she was in – were trying to stop same.

7. Kate, you should have just tweeted that yourself and posted it here. Slapinski is an insufferable and annoying fake conservative &narcissist, you just gave him his best exposure ever.

8. WTF does parliament have to do with this? The laws as written should be conformed to.

9. The Brian Mulroney/Ole Ingstrup era rises up again to bite us on the ass.
