The biggest problem for opponents of Bill C-10 ... is that criminals and prisoners have no political constituency.I'm not exactly sure what he means by 'political constituency' but if he means political 'support' Kay is either being ridiculously naive or he's a brazen liar. Criminals and prisoners have in their corner the entire political left, most of academia especially criminologists and sociologists and a large percentage of nitwit pundits like J. Kay.
Anyway, with that kind of a start you can be sure the rest of the column is a waste of your valuable time. So let's skip to the end where Mr Kay closes his 'argument':
Stephen Harper and his cabinet ministers bristle when they are accused of inflicting an "ideological" agenda on Canada. So I put the question to them: In the absence of evidence or expertise to back up your policy, what other word would you offer me?Well, we can be sure that they don't share Kay's ideology.
