Other Conservatives were also swift to condemn the majority’s decision.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford called on the government to invoke the notwithstanding clause.

"These people are predators. Disgusting scumbags who prey on children belong behind bars for the rest of their miserable lives," he said on social media.

[...]

Calling the majority decision "outrageous,” Alberta Premier Danielle Smith also called for the notwithstanding clause to be used.

“The possession of child pornography is a heinous crime, and even a one-year minimum sentence is already far too lenient,” she wrote.

Wow, liberals with some backbone...

OTTAWA — Federal Justice Minister Sean Fraser has ruled out using the notwithstanding clause to reverse a recent Supreme Court ruling throwing out mandatory minimum sentences for crimes involving child pornography.

“We don’t intend to override the Constitution to fix the problem. There (are) other solutions that are apparent to us, and we’re doing the policy exercise to find the right path right now to protect our kids,” Fraser told reporters in Ottawa on Tuesday.

These were Fraser’s first public comments on Friday’s contentious 5-4 Supreme Court of Canada decision nullifying the one-year mandatory prison sentence for the possession and access of child sexual abuse images.

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew stirred up controversy Monday in denouncing a Supreme Court of Canada ruling on child pornography and calling for offenders to be buried underneath prisons.

"Child sexual abuse images and video, this is like one of the worst things that anyone can do," Kinew told reporters.

"Not only should [you] go to prison for a long time, they should bury you under the prison. You shouldn't get protective custody. They should put you into general population, if you know what I mean."

It’s a reflection of the sorry state of Canadian justice: last Friday, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the one-year mandatory minimum sentences for the offences of possessing and accessing child pornography are unconstitutional. The case, Quebec (Attorney General) v. Senneville, involved two offenders who admitted to possessing 475 and 805 files, respectively, depicting children being sexually abused in horrific ways. Despite this, the court held, 5–4, that the mandatory minimums constituted “cruel and unusual punishment” contrary to Section 12 of the Charter.

A question from an ignorant person, but what is the point of mandatory minimum sentences? I mean, wouldn't they only apply in situations where the sentence would be considered lower than the mandatory minimum? So, in other words, when the sentence should actually be lower?

The God Botherers have stepped in...

I’ve been saying for years that pedophilia is the next sexual sin to be normalized, because if people are “born this way” and sexual desires are neither good nor bad and just an innate part of who you are, then who can tell a pedophile that his “natural attraction” is wrong? It’s the logical application of the LGBTQ worldview. And it’s a monstrous evil that destroys people created in the image of God (sexual sin destroys—that’s why God’s Word has so much to say about it!).

People on this board have proposed different political/strategic approaches in regards to how to go about influencing mainstream culture in such a way that benefits the MAP/youth liberation goal that I never considered, it's not how I normally think (I'm not explaining myself well), so I would consider this- find common ground with social conservatives or religious conservatives specifically/especially in terms of believing that acceptance of pedophilia is what's logically implied by the 'lgbtq agenda' (and that an opposition to it is rooted in socially conservative values) and even just the idea of sex-positivity, not that all feminists are 'sex-positive.' It won't help to persuade conservatives but 'liberals,' somewhere on the left-right spectrum if not far-leftists, seem to dominate in terms of entertainment, academia, pop culture, etc. so they are who you really want to win on your side.

When it comes to conservatives you could play up older men with younger women (teens/twenties) being a natural expression of or aid to normative gender roles, although I deeply oppose normative gender roles (and the normalcy of men in particular being attracted to younger partners, although I think female attraction to teens/young men is often downplayed, because social conservatism seems to be big on accepting the reality of human nature and a kind of 'authenticity' that comes with that; I'm not going to bother trying to explain what I mean by that, as well as opposing sexual deviancy- you can't argue that men being attracted to young teens, or even obviously pubescent preteens, is in anyway 'deviant' just from an evolutionary standpoint or as a statement about normal human psychology), in fact it would be refreshing for me to see some representation of an age-gap couple where their age is completely irrelevant to them (the woman isn't looking to be cared for or guided/'dominated' by an older man or father-figure, not that I have an inherent problem with that as a personal preference some people have without the idea that men as men are supposed to be the protectors, providers, leaders etc. instead[ of nurturers, caregivers, etc.). I've always felt similarly when I used to hear some white/non-black women talk about why they prefer black men (not that most white/non-black women seem to), it's always about black men being confident, 'masculine,' tough, etc.; never about black men being sweet, caring, vulnerable, compassionate, etc. (or just a preference for what black men look like or an attraction to the contrast between dark skinned men and lighter skinned women, or between black features and non-black features if they're the same complexion), not that it should be since that has nothing to do with race but that would be a flattering stereotype, that would be why I would want my ideal partner to like me (not that I am sweet, caring, compassionate or transparently/openly vulnerable; at least not necessarily in the sense of being comfortable showing vulnerability). The truth is, I think it's better to not have age preferences one way or the other. I wish that I was as attracted to women in their 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s as I am to teens and women in their twenties/thirties. If it were a choice, why limit yourself? Preferring younger partners as you age is probably a burden for most people, I might imagine.
