canadian justice system... load of "hogwash"

hi everone.
did you know here in canada you can basically get away with any crime on bail? thats what happens week after week in the news. monday - man shoots mothers son dead, ofcoarse, pleads not guilty. thurday - accused man of shooting moms son dead free in the city on $200 000 bail. this happens week after week after week! criminals are getting little slaps on their wrists compared to what the victims relatives and families are going through! i think canadas courts are just filled with a bunch of revenue hungry crooked judges who care more for the fate of the accused then the fate of the victim, and i live in canada!!! does this happen in america too or how do americans handle criminals because making criminals pay... wont make them stop killing. who else thinks canadas courts are a little screwed atleast?
