Trudeau accused the Conservatives of playing “political games” over the decision by Corrections Canada to transfer one of the little girl’s killers, Terri-Lynne McClintic, to a minimum/medium security Aboriginal healing lodge in Saskatchewan. Mercifully, he declined to “commit sociology,” in Stephen Harper’s memorable phrase, in the McClintic case. Trudeau repeated that McClintic was designated a medium security prisoner by the Conservatives and remains one today. Her life was stolen by McClintic and her former boyfriend, Michael Rafferty, who was also sentenced to life. For a crime like child murder, there is only retribution.
