In this episode, we delve into the ongoing controversy surrounding Canada's bail system, often criticized as a "catch and release" approach. We explore the growing public outcry for reform, fueled by high-profile cases involving repeat offenders who were released on bail only to commit further crimes. Amidst these tensions, we discuss the proposed changes to the Criminal Code and the push from provincial premiers to make bail conditions stricter for violent offenders. We also discuss the balancing that must account for the presumption of innocence.
