    I think Poilievre is also preying on people not understanding how our judicial system works. When someone is “eligible for Parole after 25 years” the key word is eligible. Our most heinous criminals will die in prison, but at a certain point, they have to right to go before the parole board, and I think that’s a good thing.

      Absolutely. It’s beyond me why someone would be against a hearing taking place, considering a “no” would be practically guaranteed in cases like these.

      He’s counting on people not understanding how the judicial system works.
