Major Tory crime bills get scant scrutiny
The Parliament buildings are framed through maple leaves on Parliament Hill Friday June 20, 2014 in Ottawa. Of the 30 crime bills either currently before Parliament or just passed in June, 25 were initiated by a member of Parliament rather than by the government. Four of those 25 have already received royal assent, but they tend to be fairly minor bills, such as one setting out mandatory minimum penalties for those who deface war memorials. But the Fairness for Victims Act, sponsored by MP David Sweet, is far greater in impact.

In this Friday, Aug. 22, 2014 photo, Afghan "Eagle" paintball club staff members load paintball bullets into a gas-powered gun in Kabul, Afghanistan. The arrival of recreational paintball to Afghanistan may seem peculiar to outsiders, especially in a country that's known decades of war, faces constant bombings and attacks by Taliban insurgents and is preparing its own security forces for the withdrawal of most foreign troops by the end of the year. However, it shows both the rise of a nascent upper and middle class looking for a diversion with the time to spare, as well as the way American culture has seeped into the country since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion to topple the Taliban.
