If we really are moving towards mandatory sentencing in Canada then let's stop doing it piecemeal based on what's hot in the press -- proper, uniform and full sentencing guidelines should be put in place.

Well, if you elect judges, it would seem appropriate that you need sentencing guidelines. They aren't necessarily competent judges, just winners of popularity contests. The conservatives seem to think that Canadian judges cant judge. The point should be to let judges judge, rather than institute a system that plays into the conservative ideal of popularizing and politicizing the justice system.
