I think it's fair to say that there are a lot of cases that can be expedited without the need to drag them along.

The problem with our current justice system (at least in its current state) is that it HIGHLY favours criminals.

Rapists walking free, drunk drivers getting their fourth or fifth "warning", people being arrested for crimes while breaching a previous court order, people murdering cyclists and getting off with a minor traffic ticket, etc.

With more judges, a more efficient process, and more Crown prosecutors, hopefully things will move along more quickly. That won't happen unless our government gets their priorities straight.

Either way, victims should always come first; society second; criminals last.
