The revolving door justice system that currently allows violent criminals easy bail will no longer exist in Ontario by summer’s end, Premier Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservative provincial government confirmed Wednesday night.

In fact, the Toronto Sun has learned that one month from now, the province hopes to have their “legal SWAT teams” in place to reverse the previous government’s edict to release on bail as many people before the courts as possible while they await their trials.

Ontario’s soft “catch and release” bail practice is over — of course at the discretion of the bench.

“They’re interviewing right now — targeting (to have the teams operational) by the end of September,” said Ford spokesperson Laryssa Waler.

The new approach is “part of the funding the government will invest $7.6 million” to help solve the guns and murder crisis.

“Each team will be led by a Crown Attorney and be mandated to focus exclusively on ensuring that violent gun criminals are denied bail and remain behind bars,” said Waler.
