Conservative Party leader, Tim Hudak, wants to put
registered sex offenders on an 'electronic leash' if he is elected premier of
Ontario.
That would mean 14,000 people walking around the province
with ankle bracelets.
It would cost $51
million.
When I first read about it, I snorted and thought,
"What an election gimmick!"
I fired off a comment about how it would be cheaper just to
pin a scarlet 'P' (P for pervert) on each of their toques.
14,000 registered sex offenders in Ontario.
That is a lot of sick, dangerous people and
my understanding is that at present we have no way of curing them.
So how do we protect their rights and protect the citizens
of Ontario at the same time?
I don't know about your common sense, but mine tells me that
If sexual predators are dangerous and can't be cured, they shouldn't have the
same rights as the rest of us.
An ankle bracelet isn't a cure or even a whole lot of protection.
Interesting, Mr. Hudak, but where would you get $51 million?

51 million bucks is chump change to governments.
And yes, I'm sure we probably are related somehow through UE marriage -- Niagara was a small place a couple of hundred years ago! I'm impressed that you've got your official UE designation.
