Safer Communities and Neighbourhoods Act — Yasir Naqvi proposes redundant bureaucracy

November 1, 2008 · By

In a predictably socialist manner, Ontario MPP, Yasir Naqvi is pushing an extra layer of bureaucracy and regulation to solve a real problem. His private member’s Bill 106, Safer Communities and Neighbourhoods Act is a horrifyingly shameful way for a Liberal to pretend to get tough on crime or to tackle problems which come about with drugs and prostitution.

This act is unfair. This absurd SCAN Act gives coercive powers to the municipality to force landlords to do the job that the police are paid to do. If a neighbor is being disturbed by a crack-house, he is free to call the police. Only an irresponsible supporter of the state monopolized security industry would be blind to the obvious fact that there are enough layers of legislation to deal with disturbances already.

Hat Tip to CLEOnet. This act can also be quite unfair to tenants.

    ” . . . get tough on crime or to tackle problems which come about with [the criminalization of] drugs and prostitution.”

    Makes much more sense with the few extra words.

Got something to say? (Read the rules first)
