Liberal Party

Liberal party: However the resolution on justice system reform passed and could make its way to the floor of the convention for further debate this Sunday, according to Huffington Post. But even the group's executive vice-president is wary of the proposal and After the vote, one delegate said: "Wow. The Liberal party has come a long way." Two controversial policy proposals at the Liberal convention this weekend are sounding alarms among some party members that the Grits are opening themselves up to attacks that they're soft on crime. One of the policies proposes reversing several of the Conservative party's "tough on crime" measures, such as mandatory minimum sentences. And several delegates are worried that another policy proposing a buy-back program for long guns could hurt the party's chances of forming a government in 2015 by eliminating any momentum in rural and Western Canada. The firearms resolution is sponsored by the Young Liberals of Canada and calls for a reduction in the number of guns in this country. It urges a future Liberal government to adopt Australia's firearms policy, which included a large buy-back program and a ban on semi-automatic firearms and some shotguns. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
