Whitmore's record speaks for itself:I'm with Stephen Harper and the Conservatives on getting tough on criminals.
- 1993: Convicted of abduction and sex crimes involving four young boys, he is sentenced to a paltry 16 months in jail.
- 1994: Nine days after he gets out, he abducts and molests an eight-year-old girl. For that and another attack, he gets four and a half years.
- 1999: He flees to Mexico, but is sent back here.
- 2000: He is released amid controversy in Toronto, even going on TV to say all he wants is treatment. A week later, he is caught in a motel with a 13-year-old boy. Back to jail -- but only for a year.
- 2001: When he is released, a judge refuses bids to make him wear an electronic bracelet, but slams the prison system for failing to give him treatment.
- 2002: Three months after his release, he is caught and sentenced to three more years after being caught with a five-year-old boy and carrying what police described as a "rape kit."
- 2005: After serving the full three years, amid warnings that he is still dangerous, released again.
Throw them in jail AND take away their right to vote.
