Stephen Harper to Get Tough on Youth Crime




NOW Prime Minister Stephen Harper promises to take action and change the law in regards to youth criminals. Harper says anyone 14 or older will serve a life sentence if necessary and their names will be allowed to be published(at the moment names of underage criminals aren't allowed to be mentioned by media).

While all that sounds good it's obviously an election ploy. While not a Conservative follower as you well know by now, I actually would have seriously considered voting for the Conservatives this month. That is if Stephen Harper had enacted this legislation shortly after he was voted into office last time.

Due to this being an election tactic it's another reason Harper and the Conservatives won't get my vote. I don't vote for parties and the people running for that party if the party is in power and they make promises during an election year for things they could have changed long ago.
