Poilievre proposes "3 Strikes, You're Out" law in Canada
-- Pierre Poilievre, the leader of Canada's Conservative Party, who is currently campaigning for the prime ministerial election scheduled on April 28, has criticized the crime policies of the Liberal Party, led by the current Prime Minister Mark Carney. Poilievre is proposing a new law called "3 Strikes, You're Out" as part of his campaign, emphasizing a major crackdown on crime. Poilievre stated that the country cannot endure another four years of the Liberal Party's "catch and release" policies. He promised that a Conservative government would repeal these laws and execute the most significant crackdown on crime in Canadian history, saying, "It's time to lock up the very small group of rampant career criminals who are causing all the chaos." The proposed "3 Strikes, You're Out" law would have severe repercussions for repeat offenders. Any individual convicted of three serious offenses would be ineligible for bail, probation, parole, or house arrest. These individuals would serve a minimum of 10 years in prison and would be classified as dangerous offenders. They would only be released after proving they no longer pose a threat to society. Poilievre argued that the Liberal Party's "catch and release" policies have led to the deterioration of previously safe towns and cities. He warned that electing the Liberals for a fourth consecutive term would aggravate the situation. In addition to this, Poilievre has proposed life sentences for human traffickers, drug smugglers, and mass producers of fentanyl. He also plans to implement more stringent sentences for domestic abusers, shut down drug dens, defund opioids, incarcerate traffickers, and provide 50,000 treatment spaces for the addicted. On the economic front, Poilievre reiterated some key campaign policies. These include a 15% income tax cut for the average worker and senior citizens, removal of sales tax on new homes, and incentives for municipalities to expedite permits and free up land for new homebuilding. He plans to eliminate the capital gains tax for any company that reinvests its proceeds in Canada and repeal Liberal development laws to stimulate the strength of the economy and energy sector. Poilievre ended his speech posing a question to the public, "Can we afford a fourth liberal term?" It remains to be seen, as currently Poilievre lags behind Carney in polling tracked by CBC news. with 37.1% of votes to the current Prime Minister's 44%.
