1. No, but they are innocent until proven guilty. EM has been bashed in this thread and online (more so on social media content than CP)
2. Victims are not coming forward because the cases are being dropped and people with history are free to repeat. Feeling of futility due to career criminals getting away scott free. So what chance would a victim have of accusing someone without a history at all. I want stiffer sentences for both types of criminals.
3.

4. You have a point there.
5. Unfortunately the stats point otherwise. To many to give enough attention too.
6. Yes, the Liberals love giving money away to foreign entities with little value to Canada. Scale back foreign spending and protect the people who's money it is that is being donated with little to no oversite even. A Farmer shouldn't feed their neighbors if their own children are dying of starvation. A Canada at the top of GDP lists has a duty for foreign aid, a Canada at the bottom should fix what's broken in Canada.
7. Sensualize is not the right word, Grand Standing. Media with paywalls, connect creators trying to make a name for themselves for eventual profit. Profits are more import then facts it seems these days. Reassuring people that the opinion they already formed is correct is more important than displaying the facts in an unbiased presentation.
In my experience Journalism in Canada is an absolute joke today. It's either bought and paid for political party propaganda
(CBC and Rebel present the facts to engage their audience for profit and clout) or a narrative driven buy foreign owned hedge funds to drive profitable opinions for themselves and their investors. Postmedia.
If they are found guilty, hit them HARD with results of their actions and send a real message. If they are found innocent then I hope they take this experience and speak out how close they came to losing everything so the next generation has more respect for themselves and the public they are around. More important, speak out that victims need to come forward because it's not always futile and there are loads of people out there who want justice for those victims. Including me.
Apologies, I'm a conversationist not a novelist so my points don't always land the way I want in writing.
