flag Manitoba's premier condemned a Supreme Court ruling that ended mandatory minimums for child porn possession, calling it "disgusting" and urging harsher penalties, sparking backlash.

flag Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew condemned a Supreme Court of Canada ruling that struck down mandatory one-year sentences for child pornography possession, calling it "disgusting" and suggesting offenders should be buried under prisons. flag He urged placing sex offenders in general population without protective custody, sparking backlash from defence lawyers who called the remarks inflammatory and a threat to the rule of law. flag The court’s 5-4 decision emphasized judicial discretion in sentencing, allowing judges to consider individual circumstances. flag While Kinew introduced legislation requiring judges to justify use of the notwithstanding clause, he has previously criticized other provinces for using it to restrict rights, despite now supporting its potential use in response to the ruling.
