I think that there could be a very Strong argument with respect to the constitutional Validity of this Type of legis lation said Tim Danson the lawyer who represented the families of Leslie Mahaffy and Kristen French ? two girls killed by Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka in Ontario More than a decade ago. The Laws intent is Good but if i were on the other Side i would argue that my client. Has a constitutional right to free speech Danson said in an interview from Toronto. The profits of criminal notoriety act was passed by the Manitoba legislature last Spring and is scheduled to come into effect Friday. It will allow the government to seize profits made by criminals who sell their stories through books or movie deals or who make Money by Selling personal Memorabilia. Danson has fought to keep the killings of Mahaffy and French from being made into movies. Like Danson Manitoba Liberal Justice critic Kevin Lamoureux said he supports the Laws general goal but fears it will be struck Down by a judge. Isolation. I really feel that attorney general this legislation does not and cannot Gord Mackintosh rushed with this piece Stop or prevent people from writing of legislation that he did to do his Home about their crimes. But what it can do work Lamoureux said. Under the Constitution is guard against the Manitoba government is treading people profiting or making a Buck from on somewhat new ground with the Bill. It Mackintosh said. Similar legislation has been in effect in the Manitoba Law is Only taking effect Ontario since 1995, but it has never been this week because the government has applied. Been working out details such As which some of the same Laws in the United types of crimes Are to be covered. States have been struck Down by judges under new regulations released last As an unfair restriction on the rights of week criminals will be forbidden from criminals. Profiting from telling stories of lesser Mackintosh expressed Confidence his crimes such As wilful damage to prop Law will stand up noting that the erty in addition to the original Regula provinces lawyers looked at the court tons that covered murder and arson. Decisions in the . And have brought the Manitoba association for rights in recommendations to balance the leg and liberties which has criticized the Law from the Start As an infringement on Freedom of speech said it was sur prised to see How wide a Range of crimes will be now covered. It was too Broad to begin with. The regulations make it worse said association president Ken Mandziuk. Mackintosh acknowledged the Law includes More crimes than Ontario a legislation and is designed to be we have to guard against criminals profiting from their crime and we wanted to make sure that although the focus should be on the More serious end that in some circumstances there Are prop erty crimes that can affect communities in a very serious ? Canadian press on a Roll Mellisa Hansen and Tyler White enjoyed the Fine weather and some refreshments last week while rollerblading at Assiniboine Park. My fears scandal will taint everyone Blaikie others worry of increased cynicism by Bruce Cheadle o Ottawa ? Veteran new Democrat my Bill Blaikie an ordained United Church clergy Man has never Felt a personal whiff of scan dal in his 26 years in Federal politics. But the affable Winnipeg my still fears the stench rising from Justice John Gomery a sponsorship inquiry will taint him and every other Federal Politi Cian forced to Call Ottawa Home these Days. Obviously my Hope would be otherwise that peo ple would resolve to Rise up and do something about it Blaikie said in a weekend interview from his Transcona constituency office. But i think there a a very real danger that it increases its an almost Universal lament As the inquiry unearths a vast Cache of riveting testimony alleging Liberal party corruption that is unparalleled in recent Canadian political history. Liberal heritage minister Liza Frulla was enraged last week when the damning details broke Loose. The damage said Frulla is falling on the entire political parti sub Cois Leader Bernard Landry said the same. People Are going to lose Faith even in voting offered nip Leader Jack Layton. For a profession that consistently polls at the Bot Tom in Public Trust rankings right behind used car dealers the sponsorship scandal is like a cruel punchline. When Blaikie made the rounds this weekend whatever encouragement he received from his constituents was tempered by scepticism. They tend to see you As someone who is going after the people who Are the problem. And yet even so you can detect a sort of attitude it must be terrible Down there in Ottawa Bill with All people shake their Heads How can you stand it ? in the Federal election last june some estimates of voter turnout put it just above 60 per cent which would be the worst in confederations history. Due to problems in the voters list elections Canada has not released an official number. Suffice to say that in the general election of octo Ber 1993, it was above 69 per cent. In May 1979 it was almost 76 per cent. Turnout is consistently trending downward says pollster Darryl Bricker but against that trend exceptional Circum stances can cause spikes. If there a a concentrated View that there a a need to kick the bums out or Stop Stephen Harper or whatever it is that can motivate people to vote said Bricker. But As you saw in the . Election last time around there can be a lot of sound and fury that signifies nothing. Turnout was actually Down in the .? political scientist Richard Johnston of the University of British Columbia Points out that apathy is Good for liberals. It is a fact that from 1945 to.?88 inclusive conservative electoral successes and turnout surges went hand in hand Johnston said by email. If voters sense that this next election will be even More competitive than last time they might turn out at a higher its a big if followed by a might. Despite the outpouring of Public outrage ? with in 24 hours of the Public release of sensational Tes Timony by and Man Jean Brault last week newspaper websites were posting hundreds of angry missives ? conventional Wisdom holds that voters will Drift away. The Gomery inquiry May Well dominate discus Sions at bars Coffee shops and water coolers says David Taras of the University of Calgary and in its Way educate More canadians on the political process. But whether that actually increases Devotion to politics is something else said Taras ;
