SC Drug Sentences

Q117: Will the Supreme Court of Canada find that mandatory minimum sentences for drug crimes are unconstitutional?
Yes: 70%

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a BC appeal relating to mandatory minimum sentencing for drug offences.  The original judge found that such sentences could constitute "cruel and unusual punishment", but this was overturned by the BC Court of Appeal.

Based on previous Supreme Court decisions (such as that relating to mandatory minimum sentences for gun crimes), I think that the Supreme Court will probably decide that mandatory minimum sentences for drug crimes are also unconstitutional.
