Poetic Obituaries: It is easy to pass judgment on the guards

who were on duty when [Ashley] Smith died or to blame Smith herself. As Canadians, we need to get involved, become informed, and become part of the solution rather than silent bystanders. Crime affects us all.

We need to understand and participate in our system of justice in our great nation to ensure it reflects our values and effectively addresses our collective need for safety. Consider Smith's poem when you think of how things could have been done differently.
