In Dalton McGuinty's Ontario...

It isn't even three strikes and you're out...
All seven adults charged in the Boxing Day gunplay that left 15-year-old Jane Creba dead were committed to trial yesterday.

But only one man is charged with murder.

Valentine, 26, sat stone-faced in the Scarborough courtroom as he was committed to trial, while Tyshaun Barnett and Louis Woodcock, both 21, had their second-degree murder charges knocked down to manslaughter.

The case also raised concerns over the bail system and court orders.

Smith was on two unrelated bail releases for charges of domestic assault and possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, while Valentine was under three gun bans following previous convictions at the time of the shooting, court documents showed.
THREE GUN BANS!?!?

So, Dalton... I've gotta ask... "Do you think maybe a fourth gun ban would've done the trick?"

Or did we just not have enough "social workers"?
