This is kind of what Brian Knight did.....no?

Seriously though, BigD, what you say is mostly true. I talked to my federal MP (Laurie Hawn) last week about what they are doing about toughening up our crime laws. After all, they use the slogan: "getting tough on crime". He said that the number one complaint to him in this riding from constituents is the lack of tough property crime laws. He admitted that nothing is being done and nothing is likely to get done. He said that the fact they are a minority government and that the Liberals oppose all crime law ammendments makes the process of reform impossible. Sad reality, don't you think? I would say that the Liberal supporters in this country are the ones that have to lobby their politicians if anything is to change. I see this problem spiraling into chaos before there is change in this country. Sad but true.
