But you're only proving me right. One example I'll hand-pick, bolded:

What motive would he have to fill the court system with petty offenders? If you trace it back, the motive is to increase security for the good of Canada, but the result is counter-productive.

Which just serves to further my point. There are rarely any evil intentions, only evil results. The best example is the curbing of civil liberties due to the perceived need for greater security.

I think we actually agree and no I'm not naive, though I understand why you would think that.

Well, I can't speak for Canadian policies, but in the US Petty offenders are a gold-mine to the privatized prison industry.  

Different system, different rates, our rate is like 100 out 100,000, while USA is like 900 out 100,000.
