When you have a massive, bloated police state, such as which I provided details to various U.S departments; this is the end result. You have to fill the vacuum in order to justify massive expansion. Our economy is in trouble, our best and brightest continue to leave and the manufacturing of threats, something against kids until their grave, ensures the facilities cannot keep up.
Trumps team knows how precarious the system is in Canada, especially in Ontario. This is why a blank tariff and walking away from USMCA in exchange for separate deals with Canada and Mexico is probably in the future. American Values aren't being upheld unfortunately, even as so many of us fought like hell to try and force politicians to protect them for all of our benefit.
These wannabe politicians and their "tough on crime". Notice, the Premiers brother, who I didn't despise by any means; didn't get the "tough on crime treatment" when he admitted to doing crack. In fact, he didn't even step down from office as I recall.
I liked his brother and didn't want to see him persecuted, however, you can't hope to have credibility when you operate via hypocrisy.
The usual "conservative" approach in Canada, "do as I say, not as I do".
Like many of our courts and prisons, they are falling apart to the disgrace of any civilized nation.
Per the union that works in these prisons. They need a modern work environment, not just a few extra beds:
"There are no simple fixes to these challenges," she said, saying appropriate staffing resources will be added when the expansions are operational.
"The reality is we need more beds across our system. More beds means we need new and modern correctional institutions and building new institutions takes time."
Ontario's solicitor general says the province is adding 150 beds to three jails across the province using modular construction — a "Band-Aid" solution, experts say, that doesn't do enough to address overcrowding.
The announcement comes not long after the province's ombudsman raised concerns about an overcrowding "crisis" in Ontario's correctional facilities, saying some are operating at more than 150 per cent of their capacity, compromising safety for inmates and staff alike.
Solicitor General Michael Kernzer said Thursday that the investment was not just about new beds or buildings, but a message to criminals from Ford's "tough-on-crime government."

More beds, modern institutions needed: union rep
Janet Laverty, chair of the ministry employee relations committee for Ontario Public Services Employees Union, which represents corrections officers, says the new beds are a "medium-term solution" to help modernize facilities."There are no simple fixes to these challenges," she said, saying appropriate staffing resources will be added when the expansions are operational.
