I am a former immigration minister. Unsustainable population increases won't solve Canada's underlying issues - The Hub (thehub.ca)
 

The bottom line is that immigrants, students, and workers chose Canada over centuries because we sustained high levels of growth and high standards of living. Canada’s declining affluence over the past decade undermines this pull factor.

Here's an article about the same guy getting released in 2014: https://www.thespec.com/news/stoney-creek-residents-fight-relocation-of-sex-offender-keith-theodore-constantin/article_589b5b81-454f-5beb-91be-2950d52dccd9.html

Here's another article about him getting arrested again shortly after that: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/headlines/convicted-sex-offender-keith-constantin-arrested-again-1.2726024

Here's another article about him getting released again a year later: https://www.yorkregion.com/news/schomberg-residents-on-edge-over-release-of-high-risk-offender/article_37eaeef3-e3ec-5110-bc53-706b6970e66c.html

Obviously he got arrested again at least once at some point because here we are talking about him getting released again.

Also from that 2nd article: "He was also convicted in 2000 of sexually assaulting a young boy and of sexually assaulting a 45-year-old blind woman in separate incidents." So this goes back even father than I what I can find just on google. Serial rapist catch-and-release for over two decades. Canada's legal system is a joke.

Small grocers, co-ops receiving boost from Loblaw boycott: ‘A lot of anger’ | Globalnews.ca in c/canada@lemmy.ca
[–] lautan@lemmy.ca 21 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I really hope this is the start of a massive increase in pressure on the rich, government and those who rip us off on the daily. We're notoriously bad at voting with our wallets and protesting but practice makes perfect.

It's very obvious those in power and those with wealth have had a super easy and uncontested time (much of that they engineered for themselves and we let it happen) so when faced with pushback, they feel very uncomfortable.

Let's keep it up and shed our nice nature. We need to make a stink at every turn. Culture wars and social issues are absolutely important but this is about our money and our daily lives, we have to learn how to get serious about this before even more is taken away.

Anything to do with controlling the internet I fear is the start of real censorship. A new "occupy wall/Bay Street" that actually has teeth this time is a legit threat.
