Better than mandatory minimum sentencing which Poilievre is proposing...

You can read the plan, https://liberal.ca/wp-content/uploads/sites/292/2025/04/Mark-Carneys-Liberals-release-plan-to-fight-crime-protect-Canadians-and-build-safer-communities.pdf

There's some good and some bad imo.

I'm indifferent to slightly tightening gun regulations,

I think more money for cyber crimes is a good idea and more money for equipment to secure the border is necessary as the us unravels. More early retirement isn't something I will complain about and will win a lot of votes amoung those effected. I think the organized car theft is something worthwhile to address.

I like criminalizing unconsenual deepfake porn and becoming stricter on revenge porn.

Increasing funding to Building Safer Communities Fund sounds nice but might just be lip service.

I don't like making bail more difficult, but con leaning voters will love it. I don't like most of the tougher sentencing but it is a more reasonable version of pp's 3 strikes horribleness that undercuts him while in practise not changing things that much.

hiring 1,000 new CBSA officers to crack down on the smuggling of drugs, guns and cars.

This is really important and I already know two people with whom I can connect this to a real concern of theirs. There have been multiple vehicle thefts in their neighborhood.
