There’s no reason for courts to be setting Canadian immigration policy

There’s no reason for courts to be setting Canadian immigration policy

In a recent ruling, Court of Quebec judge Antoine Piché tore a strip off Crown prosecutors who appear before him for discounting sentences based on offenders’ immigration status, to avoid non-citizens being flagged for deportation — which is supposed to happen after a criminal sentence of six months or more is handed down.

I was most intrigued by Piché’s annoyance at the widespread insistence that this doesn’t happen. This is one of those Canadian phenomena that clearly exists — National Post has reported many such cases, many of which wouldn’t be known to the public otherwise — but that we’re supposed to pretend does not.

IRCC orders asylum claimants who crossed U.S. border irregularly to leave or face deportation

Asylum seekers who crossed the border from the United States irregularly and claimed asylum are being ordered by the immigration department to leave Canada as soon as possible or face being deported, after the passing of a new law tightening up asylum rules.

Immigration lawyers have expressed fears that many foreign nationals receiving warning letters from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada will now cross back into the U.S. and be detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and deported.


And deported? They say that like it’s a bad thing.

France: Knife-point rape of mother in Vannes leads to arrest of 19-year-old Malian migrant

How One Former Migrant Exposed Germany’s Contempt for Free Speech

How One Former Migrant Exposed Germany’s Contempt for Free Speech

A former migrant from Burkina Faso, now a German citizen, has inadvertently laid bare the mechanisms of power and contempt for free speech operating in Germany today.

Until last week, only very few in Germany—outside of Munich—would have heard of Hamado Dipama. This changed after it emerged that he had filed a complaint against the popular online news portal Apollo News for defamation and libel. Apollo has since reported that one of its journalists is facing criminal investigation as a result.

Judge accuses Montreal prosecutors of suggesting lower sentences to prevent deportations

Judge accuses Montreal prosecutors of suggesting lower sentences to prevent deportations

A Quebec judge has condemned what he considers to be a two-tier justice system in Montreal after alleging that prosecutors often recommend more lenient sentences for criminals at risk of being deported.

The Quebec Crown prosecution office, however, is denying the judge’s accusations, saying no directive to such effect has been issued.

In a decision handed down on Wednesday, Quebec Court Justice Antoine Piché slammed prosecutors in Montreal for “regularly” suggesting that offenders receive less severe sentences, including an acquittal in some cases, so as not to jeopardize their immigration status.


Lawyers are merde. You’re right they do hate us.

Geoff Russ: How Canada is becoming a low-trust country

During Easter and Passover, heavily armed police officers were deployed to guard places of religious worship in Toronto. Those are not the traits of a high-trust society, and there are many more pointing to the further barbarization of our country.

Another historic church property in Miramichi was torched over the same Easter Weekend.

Church magazine poet sacked after writing verses about migrants

Church magazine poet sacked after writing verses about migrants

A poet was dropped by a parish church magazine after she sparked anger for writing about migrants and overweight benefit claimants.

Diana Hunt, a regular contributor to the Uplyme Parish News, penned two poems on the state of modern Britain, taking aim at “benefits scroungers”, “boat loads of illegals” and fat people who say they cannot afford to eat.

But a number of residents in the small village of Uplyme, on the Devon-Dorset border, took objection to what they felt were her less than charitable tones.

Toronto mans: The strange, multicultural slang of Toronto’s teenagers

Toronto mans: The strange, multicultural slang of Toronto’s teenagers

“That’s my crodie,” the teenage girl squawks loudly, slapping her male friend on the chest as she lets the final word of her sentence roll on: “-deeeeeeeeeeeee”. Passers-by in Jane Finch, a shopping centre in a downtrodden Toronto suburb, do not recoil at this strange pronunciation. They push past the pair into McDonald’s, where, slumped across seats, schoolchildren roll large spliffs. Their sentences are similarly strange, flecked with terms like “gerbert” and “two-twos”. Asked about Shoreham, a nearby estate, an aggrieved teenager exclaims “oppblock”.

Deportation hearing for Indian extortion suspect halted when officials can’t find him

The deportation of a Bishnoi extortion gang member was put off on Thursday after federal officials could not find the suspect.

Just minutes into Abjeet Kingra’s deportation hearing, the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) said it had lost track of the Indian citizen.

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), which is attempting to deport Kingra, also said it no longer knew his whereabouts.

MANDEL: Pearson gold heist mastermind sentenced to just four years in jail

One of the key masterminds behind Canada’s largest gold heist — the brazen theft of $22.5 million in gold and cash from Toronto’s Pearson airport three years ago — has been sentenced to just four years behind bars.

Less credit for pre-sentence custody, the relieved Arsalan Chaudhary has just 42 months left to serve. But that’s not the entirety of his sentence: Ontario Court Justice Shannon McPherson ordered the 44-year-old to pay back $22 million to Brinks — a restitution order that will stand for 40 years.

Row over ‘virtual gated community’ AI surveillance plan in Toronto neighbourhood

A row has broken out in one of Canada’s wealthiest neighbourhoods over plans to use an AI-powered surveillance system to create the country’s first “virtual gated community” to combat surging property crime.

Crime rates in Toronto as a whole are dropping but residents of Rosedale have been left on edge by a sustained rise in home invasions, with robbers targeting the tree-lined neighbourhood at a rate more than double the city average. Break-ins and thefts remain the third highest per capita in Toronto.

Shaken by break-ins, an affluent Toronto neighbourhood takes action

The squad of private security cars fans out after nightfall, their little rooftop lights flashing yellow against the historic homes and manicured hedges of Rosedale. Their drivers patrol the streets slowly, stopping to inspect parked cars and following any suspicious drivers.

Other unmarked security vehicles idle nearby, their drivers wearing bulletproof vests under their shirts, ready to respond to break-ins in six minutes or less.

Inside those graceful homes, residents have prepared crude fortifications: door braces, newly installed alarms, hammer-proof glass.
