OTTAWA – The bell has sounded ending one more round in what is shaping up to be a long-running bout between the county’s highest court and the Harper government.
The latest skirmish erupted Friday when the Supreme Court of Canada once again softened the Conservative government’s tough-on-crime agenda.
In a unanimous 7-0 ruling, the high court affirmed that offenders can receive extra credit for time spent in custody before they are sentenced.
The Conservatives’ Truth in Sentencing Act placed a cap on the credit an offender could receive for their time in pre-trial custody. The Supreme Court essentially tossed out that cap.
Justice Minister Peter MacKay fired back with a terse statement that affirmed the government’s long-held belief that violent criminals should face hard time for their crimes.
The Supreme Court was ruling on three cases that related to the 2009 law that toughened the sentencing provisions for repeat and violent offenders. The law removed the long-held provision of giving an offender credit for double the time served when they are being sentenced…

The Heartbleed Bug: Should Online Banking Customers Worry?
A new Internet security threat has been unveiled, that could affect up to two thirds of websites. Dubbed the Heartbleed Bug, the glitch exposes encrypted information sent over the web such as passwords, transactional information, pins and credit card numbers.
