I can't wait for Michael Ignatieff...

...to tell us why he can't live with these changes...
The Tory government is reintroducing legislation to ban the use of house arrest sentences for major crimes committed by “serious and violent” offenders.

It would ban conditional sentences and require jail time for crimes such as aggravated assault, human trafficking, luring a child, street racing causing death, arson, fraud, counterfeiting, and extortion.
Hmmm... wonder whether Iggy & company can take a break from going after farmers, skeet shooters & duck hunters... to consider cracking down on actual criminals.
