Supreme Court Ruling - Prisoners' right to vote.
Isn't that the most stupid ludicrous joke you've ever heard of? We're taking the Charter of Rights - individual rights and freedoms to the level of lunacy. I thought people committing crimes and then being sentenced to prison gave up their rights and freedom, I guess not. Of course Supreme Court Justices are appointed, right? And we have the most Liberal f***ing government on the face of this earth. Although the Liberals get far less that 50 % of the popular vote, unfortunately the Right is fragmented between three parties which effectively splits the vote in favor of the Liberal a$$ wipes.
Can you imagine the logistics of having federal prisoners vote? Do candidates go into the prisons to campaign? If not, how will prisoners be informed of the various party issues and platforms? Will they set up polling stations within the prisons to accommodate the voting or do they ****** all the prisoners to outside polling stations so they can vote? And where will their votes count, in the location/riding in which the prison is located or in the home riding of each individual prisoner? My God it just makes me want to puke.
I wrote my local (Liberal) member asking her to address these issues and requesting to know what recommendations she will be making to parliament to deal with this ruling. I don't expect to hear back from her as she's one useless tit of a backbencher that thinks gun registration will resolve all gun related crime.
You're right, we're going to hell in a hand basket.
