Stephen Harpers and Mandatory Sentencing

mandatory sentencing: This is a government determined to bring its brand of law and order to this country, whether it is cracking down on bogus refugee claimants, giving police more surveillance powers, bringing in mandatory sentencing, ending early parole or always going the extra mile to bring down the hammer in the name of victims rights, according to The Star. But it is hard to imagine that many of Prime Minister Stephen Harpers initiatives, no matter how mean-spirited they may appear, do not appeal to at least a Conservative core and perhaps more than just that zealously guarded core and For the federal Conservatives, the temptation to campaign against the courts in next years federal election must be overwhelming.
