Summary
The catch and release system was not brought into place by the Supreme Court, it was brought in by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. It s a failure of the system to not support people who have committed crimes, gone to jail, served their sentence, and then they re committing another crime.

The catch-and-release system was not brought in by the Supreme Court.
00:00:05.500
When you talk about bail, the alleged crime has already happened.
00:00:11.540
So how can you attribute bail to this increase in crime?
00:00:17.240
Should there not be more supportive measures to prevent the crime in the first place?
00:00:25.040
If you're talking about someone who's been on bail, they've already allegedly committed the crime.
00:00:37.940
In Vancouver, the same 40 offenders were arrested 6,000 times in a year.
00:00:52.240
Because they're arrested in the morning, then they're released on bail by noon,
00:00:56.420
they re-offend, they're back in jail by 2 in the afternoon,
00:01:00.540
and then they're released by the evening so that they can commit their final crime before they go to bed.
00:01:04.480
Is this a failure of the system to not support people who have committed crimes,
00:01:15.640
So is this not a failure of things like social services and support for people who have committed crimes?
00:01:28.760
Are you honestly saying that it's society's fault
00:01:33.060
if a repeat violent offender commits 60 or 70 offences?
00:01:38.920
I think that criminal is to blame for his own actions.
00:01:45.040
We're not talking about some kid who made one mistake when he was 19.
00:01:48.120
We're talking about people who do 60, 70 violent offences.
00:02:09.580
That's what all the experts agree is the cause of the crime.
00:02:14.020
So if they stayed in jail the whole time, on bail, in jail, not on bail, as you say,
00:02:23.880
And when they get out at the end of their sentence, they're crime-free?
00:02:29.340
But what we can guarantee is the period when they're behind bars,
00:02:33.700
You seriously don't think that there's got to be some help with homelessness,
00:02:38.940
There's got to be some other thing than just locking people up.
00:02:41.000
Now, first of all, what I'm proposing would ultimately lead to less people being locked up.
00:02:46.840
During the previous Conservative government, the incarceration levels went down
00:02:51.940
because we targeted the repeat violent offenders with stiffer jail penalties.
00:02:57.420
Now, and we gave rehabilitation to a young person who made a mistake
00:03:03.160
to get them fixed up and back out into a good life.
00:03:13.380
Like I said, in Vancouver, if you took those 40 offenders off the street,
00:03:17.380
you'd have 6,000 fewer people hit over the head with a baseball bat or stabbed at a transit station.
00:03:25.080
So take the worst, most chronic re-offenders, put them behind bars.
00:03:34.720
Naturally, because of the misery that his woke economic policies have caused people,
00:03:40.640
particularly the poorest people, there's more homelessness,
00:03:44.280
there's more mental health breakdown, there's more misery than ever before.
00:03:47.540
People are asking for help with medical assistance and dying
00:03:52.760
That is what you're going to get when you increase the cost of government
00:03:56.420
and you drive up inflation, taxes, and interest rates.
00:03:59.780
It's also what you're going to get when you legalize crack, heroin, and cocaine,
00:04:06.400
and it's exactly what you're going to get when you use tax dollars
00:04:12.340
All of this has caused the phenomenon of everything being broken
00:04:18.880
My common sense plan will bring down inflation and housing prices
00:04:25.020
removing the gatekeepers to build homes people can afford,
00:04:28.440
and by putting the most serious violent offenders in jail.
00:04:31.960
And we're going to ban hard drugs and stop giving out tax-free narcotics,
