About a month ago I told you how Jason Kenney was bragging about the arrival of a new and massive C-17 aircraft. As only he could. And claiming it would allow the Con regime to "project Canada around the world."
Oh boy. It's been this kind of day. Stockwell "Doris" Day tries to prove we need to spend billions on new prisons without any facts.
Given that Day seemed to suggest, in response to an earlier question, that census data becomes "untenable" a year or two after it was initially collected, it's hard to see how he would become "alarmed" by victimization reports from six years ago.
Rob "Man Dingo" Nicholson tries to clarify the Con position without thinking what he's saying.
Unlike the Liberals, we do not use statistics as an EXCUSE not to get tough on criminals. As far as our Government is concerned, one victim of crime is still one too many.
A spokeswoman for Justice Minister Rob Nicholson said the comments were backed by research from Statistics Canada that revealed a drop in the percentage of self-described victims who reported crimes that were committed against them.
However, Statistics Canada shot down the interpretation, saying that the data could not be compared to police-reported crime statistics since it only surveyed eight types of crimes as opposed to the hundreds of crimes investigated by police.
