Shoplifting, minor assault, and fraud crime cases are being dropped by Canadian courts – May 30, 2019,
There are essentially public servants, and then you have public servants who could easily be replaced by the Private Sector. That aside, when you have a legitimate court system that abides by the law of the land, enforcement of that court revolves around having resources. Unfortunately, a lot of taxpayer dollars go to creating and growing crown corporations or maintaining the public sector workforce whose unionized employees often get paid a wage that keeps up with inflation. Why this important to the article below is because The Retail Council of Canada is worried about shoplifting cases being dropped. Minimum wages are up all over the country which equates to profits going down.
Bernie Sanders economics states that the Federal Minimum wage in the United States should be $15 an hour, what often goes ignored in mob rule democratic socialism is theft, not only theft by customers but by employees, part of the reasons prices go up revolves around theft and petty crime, that retailers have to swallow. A lot of times thieves won’t go down without a fight, criminals love to exhaust court resources, it’s in a thief’s best interest to drag a court case out, for as long as possible, which of course equates to more losses for a retailer who also has to pay an individual to show up in court to fight the case.
These costs for retailers often go unnoticed when the Justin Trudeau, Jagmeet Singh, and Elizabeth May types demand the government do more to prevent these greedy business owners from making a profit. Until you’re experiencing theft as a business person, you don’t understand it. It should be noted that along with theft, brick and mortar retailers also have to deal with online competition, which is why The Retail Council of Canada is worried about shoplifting cases being dropped, because news spreads quickly and when thieves start to tell their friends that when they got caught stealing their cases were dropped, this will lead to more theft.
When legal systems break down, a new type of problem is created, now again these systems of governance are being broken down primarily because of the influx of immigrants, there were thieves prior to the influx of immigrants and obviously, the number of cases are going to rise with the influx of more people into the country. Then you add in welfare, higher minimum wages, higher energy costs, higher costs for renting or leasing commercial property, which is a direct result of BoC interest rates and the CMHC, you get a problem that’s going to create some challenging times ahead for the Canadian economy.
Criminals can’t walk free, this is the problem they’re having in many parts of California, a Democrat leader changed a law that didn’t allow enforcement of certain property rights laws and the drug and homeless epidemic exploded in California. Some humans don’t care, and a lot of humans like to break laws, its what we do, someone makes a law, like a property rights law, a socialist comes around challenges it, so if a thief breaks Canadian property rights laws and property rights laws aren’t enforced is that thief in the wrong for breaking those laws? making matters worse is if the person with the property has his/her property stolen from them repeatedly, can that individual defend his/her property using force? This is where things start to get tricky, if you go to many poorer neighborhoods in America, retailers simply refuse to go there, many towns in America at best can attract a retail dollar store.
Now, Canadian cities are more or less centrally planned to avoid the rich and the poor from being isolated from each other, but there’s also a downside to that, which is demographics of a developed area are harder to predict, furthermore, thieves will intentional go to affluent areas, which at times might have inexperienced security personnel, who don’t know how to deal with or anticipate theft. Now as theft rises there’s more demand for security, security guards don’t come cheap and with higher minimum wages, I believe that the price for a security guard goes up, so you have all of these higher costs and the Governments unwillingness to enforce the law and you have a new problem, that I think will go under the radar.
The story below isn’t a story most people are going to pay attention too. Although the story below is focused on the bankrupt, Have Not Province of Nova Scotia, this is a Canada wide problem. Nova Scotia is a perpetual Have Not Province, it’s heavily reliant on Equalization Payments and part of the reason for this is its treatment of the Private Sector.
I get it, people like to form collective groups and engage in collective bargaining to defeat “The Man”, but there’s a penalty for this moronic behavior, eventually those unnecessary government barriers that you created for yourself, begin to get costly and private companies don’t want to be forced to finance incompetence, then in time, replacement rates for PRIVATELY OWNED BUSINESSES start to decline and because government workers are dependent on the Private Sector to earn a paycheck, once the Private Sector shrinks, governments soon lose their ability to hire more staff, because the taxes they collect are lessened. To you idiots who think that employees pay taxes, ask yourself a question, if a business who hires 30 people leaves Nova Scotia, do those 30 now unemployed people pay any income taxes? Furthermore, if that retail business leaves can that province collect any retail sales taxes from that retail business that no longer exists? So who pays most of the taxes for the country?
Inevitably with the rise of government incompetence, the best and brightest of a province begin leaving (known as the brain drain) and eventually towns, cities provinces end up like the U.S State of Detroit. Wealth is derived for the respect of Private Property, once Property rights aren’t respected, your country will inevitably become poor. Countries like Brazil aren’t poverty stricken because the country is poor, Brazil is poor because of THEFT and the lack of respect for property rights! Cuba isn’t poor because the island is poor, Cuba is poor because the Cuban government doesn’t respect property rights! Once Property Rights enforcement is put into question our entire system falls apart, I don’t think most Canadians understand how important property rights are. Currently, in South Africa, white people prefer PRIVATE security over their local Public police forces.
Without respect for Private Property, lawlessness reigns, lawlessness equates to poverty, anywhere you find poverty, you’ll notice a lot of theft and a blatant disrespect for property and human rights. When you see graffiti on private property, it’s a representation of people who are working to make our society poor. People forget the cure for poverty exists already, why poverty still exists is because a large portion of the world doesn’t respect private property.
When theft happens we all pay for it, when there is less theft, more businesses can charge cheaper prices, if you argue how?, well if you know anything about profit margins, if one store is ripping off the consumer a new store will come along and replace or challenge it, what limits competition is theft, theft by government via regulation and taxation and theft by individuals who instead of working harder or smarter, would prefer to have what they want now without paying for its true cost. Anyway, consider reading the article below, it paints a very gloomy picture for our future in Canada.
