Comment: the bottom line of all of this is that Ontario - and especially its AG's Office - is on the horns of a dilemma. The 'deal with the devil' never would have occurred if senior government 'mandarins' were accountable to the public and not permitted to engage in their own selfish personal and ever politically correct social and ideological agendas. In this case, the belief that all women - including Holmolka - are somehow 'victims' and ergo entitled to kid glove treatment.

A situation which the Harris government failed to address just as the McGuinty regime also continues not to. In fact, many of those civil servants most guilty of such gross breaches of the public trust have actually been rewarded.

As examples, Leslie Baldwin, the Crown Attorney who most vigorously pushed Karla's imagined 'victimhood', was made a High Court Judge by Harris & Co and Vic Bevan, the one-time head of the pathetically incompetent investigation into Holmolka and Bernardo's crimes is now Ottawa's Chief of Police.

Beyond this, based upon recent funding announcements, special interest groups which propagandize around this sort of anti-public, anti-majority openly sexist nonsense such as the Elizabeth Fry Society and the coterie of radical feminist professional gender-bigots have quite plainly never had it so good when it comes to dining at the public trough.

How can government now finally act to properly protect the public without drawing attention to the true - and still unremedied - root factors behind its infamous 'deal with the devil'?

Think Quebec-based Judges bearing the imprimaturs of the likes of Allan Rock, Anne McLellan, Martin Cauchon and now Irwin Cotler are going to step in to uphold the public good? The fix is in simply because there's a lot more than Holmolka's fate at stake: the public credibility of social policies and an injustice system rotten and corrupt to the very core in every imaginable way!

Interesting comment. Canada may be turning back around in a few years, huh?

Myself, she did her full sentence in prison. Leave her alone.

Civilized countries too often set their monsters free.

When I was still in Canada, I heard some of the sick, I mean really sick, things this waste of skin did. It was disgusting that she got a plea deal while it seemed she was just as guilty as Bernardo, maybe even inspired him in their loathsome freak crimes. There is no way on Earth she can ever be anything but a spawn of Satan.

This is Paul Bernado and Karla on their wedding day. Don't they look innocent? Tell your daughters not to trust ANY man whom they don't know a great deal about.

I saw a documentary about this case, and it was about the sickest thing I've ever seen. I think this couple pulled the teeth out of their victim, the tortured their victims. Really, it was really quite sick. I'm amazed she's ever getting out.

"Published reports out of Quebec earlier in the week have alleged she has been corresponding with Jean-Paul Gerbert, a male inmate who has been incarcerated in Quebec for the 1998 second-degree murder of his girlfriend, 23-year-old Cathy Caretta. She was strangled after trying to break up with Mr. Gerbet."

Somebody ought to arrange an in-person meeting between these two.
Unsupervised, of course.

I've not read the actual deal but many assessments by those that have seem to suggest there is evidence that she did not live up to her obligations in her disclosures and that it could and should be tossed out, i.e. try her and let a jury decide her fate.

That no prosecutor has even picked up the Jane Doe rape case to keep her locked up leaves me equally suspicious of what's driving this. For years politicians have been wringing their hands over the deal but not one of them has even tested it in the courts. Sure our courts are crap but for goodness sake put it to some sort of test.

Both she and her spawn of a husband deserve nothing but the death penalty ... period.
