Electronic Shackles for Men Accused of DV

ronn sent us this Ottawa Citizen story which includes suggestions from a coroner's jury report from a domestic homicide/suicide case: "Men should be electronically shackled with a global positioning device when they are accused of violence against a woman, and their names should automatically go into a database of abusers without waiting for a conviction." Apparently most of the Toronto newspapers has responded positively to this news, according to Dave Brown. Brown is also the the same writer who told us about Bill 117, which would transfer the property of those accused of domestic violence to the alleged victim, before a trial is held. What on earth is going on in Canada?
