Poilievre: “We will lock up career criminals for ten years”. Carney focuses on energy, Blanchet insists on the French language

TORONTO – An unprecedented crackdown on crime: that’s what Pierre Poilievre promised today, during his campaign tour that touched on Sault Ste. Marie – where the Conservative leader held a particularly well-attended “rally” – and Brampton. His proposed law, aimed at hitting “rampant career criminals”, has an eloquent name: “Three Strikes, You’re Out Law” and it provides, in short, to lock up offenders for 10 years without parole, bail or house arrest following a third conviction for a serious offence.
