TOUGH ON CRIME

Re: "Stockwell Day accused of personal agenda in denying prisoner transfers:
Most requests turned down under Tories," The Journal, Sept. 8.

I don't much care for Stockwell Day. However, I applaud his not
agreeing to transfer pedophiles and drug dealers to a nice, cushy
prison in Canada. Here, the parole board would pat them on the bum and
release them.

We need to be as tough as the U.S. on these kinds of criminals. If
they can't do the time, they shouldn't do the crime.
