FAILED SYSTEM
Michele Mandel, thank you for writing the column “Insult to her memory” (July 24). This message needs to be shouted from the tallest mountains, from sea to sea, in every community, hall of justice, and the House of Parliament. This lovely young life, Jane Creba, was taken in an act of unconscionable violence, hearts were destroyed that day, and why? Because she was out with family and friends shopping on Boxing Day. Absolutely appalling that Jane was taken from her family by the heartless, evil gang members with total disregard for anyone. The members of the parole board and the judge who ‘rolled the dice’ and allowed these lifetime criminals back on the streets should be held fully accountable for their decisions in these cases. Jane Creba, Karolina Huebner-Makurat, Shahnaz Pestonji, each one and more — without ever creating a criminal offence — have been all given life-ending sentences, while those who took their lives and destroyed their families, time after time get bail, get released early, and get arrested again and again. This needs to stop; hold these judges and parole boards accountable for their decisions, and accountable to those impacted by these absurd get-out-of-jail-free actions.

(How many times do we have to expose these failures before something changes? Where is the public outrage over? There is no accountability in the system)
BUILDING IT UP
It was nice to read that Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Prime Minister Mark Carney are trying to solve the world’s problems by fireside chat; indeed, it is a good step in the right direction. They need to bring G7 and G20 nations to usher a new kind of Marshall Plan to address today’s crisis, as the U.S.A. did under President Harry Truman to rebuild Europe. Make it today’s effort to rebuild all war-torn countries. Canada can take a leading role in attempting to solve.

(It is indeed positive, but Carney needs to sort out the mess in our own backyard left by Trudeau – and so far, he seems to be doing nothing about it)
