After convicting Gurpreet Singh of 10 counts of immigration fraud, Justice Naheed Bardai (Indian) let him walk at sentencing because CBSA allegedly "offended society's sense of fair play and decency." This is the state of Canada's judicial system.

Many Canadians if they watch Pierre Poilievre’s interviews with Joe Rogan in Texas and Bloomberg in New York will find out the MSM in Canada, the Liberal marketing team, has been absolutely lying to them about Pierre!

Canada voted in a leader that is competent, who had a PhD in Economics, experience and manners. While America voted in a fool. ❤️

The instant you are thrust into the Canadian Corrections system you become invisible. A number. Every signature line ACCUSED or OFFENDER. Last names only; as if erasing your first name erases your personality, your opinion, your very existence. It didn’t take long after my arrest and incarceration in Ottawa for me to figure out there are two types of people who enter this profession; those who feel like they can contribute to society and make a difference, perhaps even change a life for the better, and those who were bullied in high school. I feel very lucky to have the CSO that I do. She looks at me when she speaks to me. She’s fair in her approvals for my work exemptions. I try to submit my work exemption & volunteer time exemption requests in a timely manner, ever mindful these are requests only, certainly not a given. I exist at the courts pleasure now. I understand the pecking order. I take no approval as a given nor for granted. There have been times when I have called for last minute exemptions for my exemptions. Some approved. Some denied. If my CSO is ill, away, or on her biweekly long weekend, I’m to contact whichever CSO with their own offenders to attend to, is covering. Trust me, they will ensure you’re fully aware of how busy they are with their own offenders and how inconvenient you are making their life because they had to dial 10 numbers to return your call. Let me explain. Yesterday, upon arriving at the local food bank for my court approved volunteer time, I immediately observed the workload and lack of resources. I was training a new volunteer, it was the busiest day of the week, and I had two hours. I asked the supervisor if I could call my CSO to ask for a quick email exemption to stay an extra hour or two. She gladly accepted. I called moments before lunch hour and managed to catch a nice lady whom I briefed on the situation. She informed me my CSO was on her Friday off, but that I could call back at 1pm to ask for a quick email exemption which “shouldn’t be a problem, Tamara”. She gave me a name and a direct line. I confirmed with her that I would be ok to stay past 1pm in case this woman was a few minutes late, or if should leave at 1pm and make my way home until I spoke with her. I called at 1pm. I called 5 times. I take my conditions seriously. When we connected her first statement was, of course, to impress upon me that she was busy with her own clients. Clients. Like she’s providing me a service by merely speaking at me. I apologized, of course. It’s a terrible bother, I get it, and she’s got better things to do. I know my place. I accept it. I’m not a victim. I’m in the game now and there is only one way out. “What exactly is going on here?” “Well, you see, I volunteer at the food bank 3x a week and today we are really busy and short staffed and I was hoping for an exemption to stay for an extra hour or two.” “I’m not prepared to issue an exemption on such short notice. I’m busy with my own clients. You’ll have to go home.” *issuing an email exemption - open email….tap tap tappity tap tap tap….send* “Ok.” I paused. I should have stopped here. “Why did the other lady I spoke with tell me it shouldn’t be a problem?” The second I said it I realized I used my outside voice. Too late. Here it comes. “AS YOUR ACTING CSO IN [CSO name]’S ABSENCE I AM ORDERING YOU TO GO HOME AT THE DESIGNATED TIME AND I’LL BE MAKING A NOTE FOR [CSO NAME].” You do that. There are binders and binders of notes about me. “Thank you, I’ll head home right now.” Click. I wasn’t upset about the denial. I’m an OFFENDER, after all. But she said we are clients. That implies we are receiving a service. And if you cannot provide these services (advising us reach out to the duty officer if we need anything in the absence of our respective COS’s) then you shouldn’t offer them to us, your clients. That’s just good customer service.
