Although he's campaigning for the Liberals, I like this guy. I know that during an election, everything is under the microscope and people will try to dig up dirt on anybody but basically, he sounds like a reasonable judge.
First, although minimum sentences for "sexual assault/rape" fit in well with the Conservative tough on crime agenda, this judge has spelled out why they would be harmful under the current definition of rape/sexual assault and that in fact there far too many degrees of severity of this crime category to even think about jail as a mandatory punishment. I think everyone just gets queasy when they hear an old man describe a young woman's genitals being fondled, but he's a judge so he deals with such details as a matter of his job.
Second, I'm glad someone has the guts to speak up about corruption on Native Reserves.
Third, I haven't read anything about the supposed white rights activist Liberal candidate André Forbes, but it seems that the Liberals chose a good candidate to fight against the white (French) rights party of Quebec.
