  • Michael Ignatieff suggests that a better way to fight crime (than building prisons) is to tackle the problem of social inequality in the country: "If you don't, you can build all the prisons you want and it won't make a damn bit of difference."
    
    But what do you do about the criminals who have already injured the innocent, Mr. Ignatieff ? Kiss them on all their cheeks and tell them to go back to school? What are you going to do with the criminals who robbed my family with the help of a Montreal Police officer? You don't answer. But I will keep telling the world.
    
    Marlene Jennings, MP, twice stated in 2008, before public assemblies in Montreal, that my rights were violated three times. But the Montreal Police keep covering up these crimes. And you, Mr. Ignatieff, don't answer. Of course, it is not in your jurisdiction. Right.
    
    Why on earth should any crime victim support you, Mr. Ignatieff? You live in a lofty tower that ignores our suffering. All the tea parties, whistle stops, and sport shirt events won't change that reality.
