The CBC posting this ladies picture coming out of court seems like a public shaming move, I don't recall them doing the same for the driver that caused the Humboldt Broncos accident or any other person responsible for multiple deaths, like the guy from Carman that killed his family.  If anything she is guilty of being senile.

Capitalism at it's finest. 

It's the best system we have I'm told but those same voices go quiet when I counter, is there room for improvement when it comes to a small group of people making gobs and gobs and gobs of money off the backs of lower middle class people's necessities of life?

I'm all for profit but I'm always met with a shrug of the shoulders and it's the best system we have when questioning profit margins trump everything else.
