Liberals' now 12 year old broken promise
to protect the public through precisely
this type of mandatory DNA Registry
Legislation right in their smug chops!
Behold the face of TRUE EVIL!

Karla's DNA tied to politics
By KATHLEEN HARRIS, OTTAWA BUREAU, SUN MEDIA
Karla Homolka will be compelled to provide federal authorities with a DNA sample -- as long as the Liberal government doesn't fall before a new bill is passed into law.
MPs from all political parties agreed yesterday to fast-track Bill C-13 so Homolka and other violent offenders don't slip out of prison without their DNA being put in the national database. Currently DNA collection -- even for the most serious crimes such as murder -- isn't mandatory.
Steve Sullivan, of the Canadian Resource Centre for Victims of Crime, said Homolka has become the "poster child" for the urgent need to pass the bill because her release is set for July.
But there are many other reasons the government should put the bill on the top of its legislative agenda, he said.
"It may be a deterrent, it may be an ability for police to solve a crime earlier if (convicts) reoffend, it may be a way of solving crimes that haven't been solved yet. So for public safety and for victims' families, this is a very important bill."
Conservative MP Vic Toews pressed Justice Minister Irwin Cotler to "step up to the plate" and do the right thing, but government House leader Tony Valeri was non-committal in the Commons. "When we co-operate and focus on the interests and priorities of Canadians, Parliament can in fact work," he said.
'SERIOUS IMPLICATIONS'
"I would ask the two parties opposite, both the Conservatives and the Bloc, that if they want to, in fact, be in Parliament and be in this Parliament for the interests of Canadians, then let us work together to ensure we can pass this DNA bill and other bills."
Carolyn Gardner, whose sister Sheryl was murdered by psychopath Ralph Power in 1981, wrote to Conservative Leader Stephen Harper yesterday warning of the "serious implications" and asking him to postpone toppling the government.
"Unless this bill is passed, Homolka's DNA will not be in the national DNA databank. I believe Canadians will question the motives of anyone who does not do whatever they can to prevent that from happening," she said.
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
KARLA HOMOLKA poses for a fellow inmate in this never-before-seen picture from Joliette prison. The infamous killer is due for release in July.
Here's a wild idea: Harper et al should propose a bill during "opposition days" that establishes the DNA registry for convicted violent offenders, AND acts as a non-confidence motion!
The libs would be between a rock and a hard place, as they couldn't vote against one of their own claimed planks, but they couldn't vote for it as they would be supporting their own ouster.
The irony would be sweet!
What did this gal do? It isn't clear in the article.
She's picked up a middle-age keister in prison, eh?
Ouch! I'm glad you are on our side.
