“Instead of keeping criminals in jail, Liberal bail – aka the ‘Principle of Restraint’ – has let them back out on the streets to offend again. “In fact, the consulate shooting is now part of ‘a broader pattern’ where convicted criminals are released and ‘go on to commit additional crimes, sometimes even more serious offences, including homicide.’ We have seen numerous cases in recent weeks of criminals continuing to be released, only to breach their conditions. “Samuel Sawyer is still wanted by Niagara Police after allegedly shooting a 27-year-old in Fort Erie last week while out on a release order. It’s time to actually reverse Liberal catch and release laws, repeal the ‘Principle of Restraint’ and strengthen our bail laws to restore safe streets again.”
