WAR ON MEN >The Liberal government has introduced tough new measures aimed at protecting sexual-assault complainants from intrusions into their sexual past, >proposed legislation would spell out for the first time that a complainant’s text messages, e-mails and video recordings with sexual content or a sexual purpose can be kept out of trials SLUTS FTW. >Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould said she hopes the proposed changes “will go a long way towards ensuring that complainants are treated with the compassion, dignity and respect they deserve.” DOWN WITH MEN >But defence lawyers say the bill is deeply unfair to accused people and will be subject to widespread constitutional challenge. >And some criminal defence lawyers say the Liberals’ new bill.. would dangerously alter the balance between the accused and the prosecution. PRESUMED GUILT >“The message that’s being sent by the government is that people who are charged with sexual assault are guilty,” lawyer Joseph Neuberger of Toronto said. SPECIAL PRIVILEGES >“The extent to which they are going to restrict cross-examination in this area is unbelievable, as compared to every other offence in the Criminal Code.” GIVING AWAY DEFENSE STRATEGY IS LAW >criminal defence lawyer Nathan Whitling, said that broadening the definition of “sexual history” to include communications of a sexual nature would require disclosure of those materials to the Crown and the complainant. >"This would be contrary to the current rule which is that the defence is under no obligation to co-operate or assist the Crown by providing any documentary evidence to the Crown or the complainant in advance of the trial...which would have enabled them to adjust their testimony to make it more consistent with its contents.”

>>proposed legislation would spell out for the first time that a complainant’s text messages, e-mails and video recordings with sexual content or a sexual purpose can be kept out of trials Oh and so the more pussy-blindered among you understand, that means that messages where a woman sounds interested in the act before it commences will not be allowed.

>Canada case law states that the accused has the burden of proving consent >this is the exact opposite of the US where the presumption is innocence and the state bears the burden of proof for all elements >now they propose a bill hamstringing the accused by restricting the available evidence to prove consent. >texts from hours before the alleged rape stating "come over and let's fuck" can now be found inadmissible >this will create instances where the only evidence available to the accused to prove consent can't be used, and the accuser's testimony is against him
Holy fucking shit Canada what in God's name is happening? I can understand wanting a fairer trial for all parties, but you're only a few steps from making a rape accusation effectively a guilty verdict. This genuinely disgusts me, and anyone advocating this action is anethama to Justice.

no. shitskins who rape are innocent because they weren't aware rape is illegal. also cultural differences mean sexual assault is more acceptable in shitskin countries which means they are innocent. it was all just a big misunderstanding.

Let's be honest user, they will make exception to the rule for non whites who rape white women. Note: In the FICTIONAL STORY: To Kill A Mocking Bird the nigger actually is innocent and the white girl was just embarrassed that she got caught with a nigger. Her lie gets the nigger killed. In real life the nigger in way less likely to be innocent but much more likely to be forgiven for harming a white person. Thank a white male liberal in person.
