Talk about a selective memory. I guess the Conservative fear-mongering on 'the rise of violent crime' despite statistical evidence to the contrary doesn't count.

But Harper isn't happy with just fear-mongering, he's using that fear to justify wasteful spending on new prisons and on an omnibus crime bill while downloading the cost of implementing that policy down to the provinces.
