A large majority of Canadians say Canada’s justice system is too lenient on violent criminals and that too many violent offenders are being repeatedly offered bail, according to a new poll.

Released on June 15, the Leger Marketing survey conducted on behalf of Postmedia indicates that most Canadians are prepared to take a harder line against violent offenders than their governments.
