‘Been on both sides’: Edmonton mayoral hopeful Jaffer wants cities to press Ottawa on bail reform OTTAWA — An Edmonton mayoral hopeful known for his own highly publicized brush with the law says he wants cities to lead the charge for tougher federal bail laws. Rahim Jaffer, who’ll be standing as an independent in next month’s civic election, said that the Liberal government’s loosening of bail rules has made recidivism a growing problem in Edmonton. “We’ve seen police in particular find it very hard to do their jobs when they’re having to deal day in, day out with the same handful of repeat offenders, who keep ending up back on the street,” said Jaffer. http://todayheadline.co/edmonton-mayoral-hopeful-rahim-jaffer-bail-reform/?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=jetpack_social
