Liberal Judges, Destroying Canada!

I have been a victim of our courts. We had a guy indecently expose himself to our downstairs tenant. Both of us showed up for this disturbed individuals court date. Unfortunately, the lead police officer had broken his leg the night before, so the judge dismissed the case. This is a common day occurrence with our judges. They refuse to grant continuances on cases if the police officers are not present. This leads to total miscarriages of justice, like this case:

Cop skips court for marriage; drug suspects walk

Judge Andrew Buttazzoni dismissed trafficking charges against the nine men and one woman after he refused to grant the Crown an adjournment., requested because an out-of-town undercover police officer wasn't available to testify because he's getting married.

Seventeen people were charged in August 2009, following the six-month, undercover operation.

So, 17 sleazebags walk because a judge doesn't want to reschedule their court appearances. This judge should be fined for failure to protect Canadian citizens from criminals. Add this idiot judge to the list:

Ontario terror suspect granted bail

Ahmed was charged with conspiring to facilitate terrorist activity after police raided two Ottawa addresses on Aug. 26. Officers seized more than 50 electronic circuit boards they said could be used to detonate explosive devices, along with videos, terrorist literature and bomb-related documents.

Earlier this month, Ahmed was also charged with possession of explosives for terrorist purposes. Ahmed will next appear in court on Oct. 20.

I wonder if Ahmed might just disappear himself to Pakistan? Is this judge an idiot, or just stupid?

Our police officers should be able to issue a statement of fact in criminal cases. Judges should have to accept the officers written report. This would free up our police to actually be out in the public domain, arresting bad guys. Instead they wait for hours to testify against criminals and the judges let them go for any reason. Our judges suck!

We asked the police officer, who did show up, about this guy who was indecently exposing himself, and he told us the next step was rape. Too bad the judge didn't worry about his own rape. This judge forgot about the victim. The guy who indecently exposed himself to a young lady, skipped down the aisle with his "partner" who he met at the reform facilities, she was in there for writing bad cheques. A pair made in judicial hell!

Our judges need to be made accountable for their actions! We need to elect them. If we don't elect them we get this:

Barbara Kay: The end of prostitution laws as we know them

Responding to a Charter challenge mounted by three prostitutes, the Ontario Superior Court has struck down the prostitution law that has up to now criminalized communicating for the purpose of prostitution, living off the avails of same and keeping a common bawdy house. The litigants, who thought they would be lucky to have one aspect of the law struck down, were surprised and jubilant to see all three facets felled at once.

Liberal judges, destroying Canada. I makes me sick! The NDP and Liberals are applauding the judge who made it easier for young women to sell their bodies for money. Sad. No Morals.

Liberal judges are destroying the Canada we know and love, we need to take them to task for their decisions. We need to elect them!

Judges, Still Not Climbing Out Of The Dark!

This ruling by an Ontario judge needs to be taken out into the light. You can be tracked down and sued, even if you are an anonymous commenter on a site! Funny what got me looking into this was an incident today when a faux commenter took over the name of a very frequent poster on this site. They were able to do this by registering their name as Wilson, with a capital W, as opposed to the real poster, wilson. This led to some confusion at first but the fake poster was quickly exposed.

What if I can monitor IP addresses of my posters and someone posts something offensive to someone reading the comments? The ruling this judge just brought down says that I must reveal the information and IP address I have for the poster, during discovery. In other words, if I understand it correctly, before any evidence has been presented that the posting was in fact offensive. This is not the HRC's that have made this ruling, it is a real judge in a real court case. Check out the details here.

An Ontario court has ordered the owners of the FreeDominion.ca to disclose all personal information on eight anonymous posters to the chat site. The required information includes email and IP addresses. The case arises from a lawsuit launched by Richard Warman, the anti-hate fighter, against the site and the posters. The court focused heavily on the Ontario Rules of Civil Procedure, which contain a strong duty of disclosure on litigants.

.....

According to the defendants in the case, they are unsure if they have the resources to appeal. This particular decision feels like a judge anxious to order to disclosure, despite the weight of authority that provides some measure of privacy protection for anonymous posters. Indeed, the public policy issue is characterized as "we are dealing with an anti-hate speech advocate and Defendants whose website is so controversial that it is blocked to employees of the Ontario Public Service." Leaving aside the fact that sites blocked to employees of the Ontario Public Service is not much of a threshold (Facebook is blocked to the OPS), the public policy issue is not the merits of the particular website. Rather, it is the privacy and free speech rights of the posters to that site.

And more here at Celestial Junk.

This should concern all bloggers and posters of all political stripes. You can post something on-line, and according to this ruling, the site you posted it on will be forced by law to give out your IP address. It also sounds like a site being hosted in the US will not protect you.

Now, I do have a site meter that records the last 100 IP addresses of everyone who accesses this site, but I do not keep those addresses and they are not the full IP address, so I couldn't track anyone down even if I wanted to. I would imagine that blogger.com does keep some sort of record, I'm not sure about it though. Maybe someone more computer savvy would know.

The point. No blogger or poster to a blog site is safe from an individual who's feelings have been hurt by someone who reads your comments. If that doesn't scare you, I bet you were busy listening to banned foreigner Galloway and screaming about his right to free speech, forgetting that here, in our own country, those freedoms are being taken away by HRC's and now judges!

This is an individual that didn't like comments made about him on a conservative website, and he has now taken the owners of the site to court. That is not enough for him though, he is going after anonymous posters who posted comments about him as well. The judge has ruled that those anonymous posters have no right to privacy, even though no ruling against them has yet been made by that judge. It appears that the HRC's have crept into the real courts and influenced real judges.

Don't think it couldn't happen to you because you are anonymous. It appears you have NO right to be anonymous anymore!

Justice, Gangland Style!

You know how pedophiles are not allowed in the general prison population because the prisoners will deal with them in a very harsh manner? Well, it seems gangs are doing what our courts are unwilling to do, take the bad guys off the street.

No tears for dead man

Edmonton's latest homicide victim had been twice accused of committing murder in the past five years.

Terence Dashielle Miller, 26, died in a hail of bullets early Sunday.

So, let's look at how the courts handled this thug:

FROM ACCUSED TO VICTIM

- May 2003: Terence Miller and Marlon Williams are charged with second-degree murder in connection with the shooting death of Ikeche Bates, 21.

- May 2004: Crown accepts Williams's not-guilty plea to second-degree murder. Williams pleads guilty to possession of a weapon for a purpose dangerous to public peace.

He is sentenced to two months of probation and 100 hours of community service.

- September 2004: Charges are stayed against Miller.

- July 2005: Miller is charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of Brandon Fern.

- September 2005: Miller's second-degree murder charge is stayed.

- July 2008: Williams and another man, Scott Ladouceur, are shot by unknown assailants near 167 Avenue and 18 Street.

Ladouceur dies. Williams is sent to hospital in critical condition.

- August 2008: Miller dies in a hail of bullets in central Edmonton.

Is it any wonder that Canadians have no faith in our courts and our judges? Two months probabtion and 100 hours of community service? For murder? Get real! Looks like the gangs are doing the work of our courts. What about the victims families?

"It slightly feels like relief to know the two people (accused of murdering) my brother are not on the streets," Jackson said. "I don't have to worry about bumping into them."

Still, she'd rather the men faced judicial justice than street justice.

They did face judicial justice, and were let back into the streets. Do I feel any sympathy for these thugs, not much, but I wonder what their fates would have been if they had to spend time on a work gang instead of a drug gang? We have store owners in Toronto hiring their own security guards, and we have street justice for gang members.

When are the victims going to be made a priority? When are criminals going to face real justice from our courts? When are our police going to be used for stopping real crime and not just traffic offenders? Crime is down? Sure, and I still believe in the tooth fairy!

Federal Court Goes "Green"

Great it's bad enough that we have to put up with envionuts like Suzuki, but now the courts are getting into the battle! Green activist Judges, now that's scary!

Federal court orders review of oilsands project

EDMONTON -- The panel that gave the green light to a massive Imperial Oil oilsands project must explain how intensity-based targets will control greenhouse-gas emissions, a federal court judge has ordered.

....A coalition of environmental groups challenged the project in federal court in Edmonton earlier this year, saying the environmental assessment was inadequate on several fronts, including regarding greenhouse-gas emissions.

Justice Daniele Tremblay-Lamer said the panel must explain how it concluded that intensity-based targets will reduce the potentially damaging effects of the project's greenhouse-gas emissions to a level of insignificance.

Maybe the Judge should make the environment groups PROVE how CO2 is harmful first! Where are their facts that prove that intensity-based targets won't work? What gives a judge the right to even hear a case like this one? If the province of Alberta owns the resources, and supports intensity-based targets, who is this judge to tell Albertans what we can or can't do to develop our resources. Notice it's a FEDERAL judge poking her nose into Alberta jurisdiction. NEPII coming at you through the federal courts.

If you can't close down projects, and the oilsands through protests, try the courts? Nice, now I've got to go select the tree I'm going to be living in.
