#REPORT: Samir Abdelgadir, a 45-year-old from Sudan who was convicted of kidnapping a 14-year-old boy, had his sentence reduced by 6 years by Justice Sandra Nishikawa because growing up in several countries with his father, a UN diplomat, exposed him to "systemic racism."

Tim Hortons is the worst. Long wait times, 17 people working, nobody knows what's going on, food is shit, coffee is even worse and nobody speaks English. It actually represent s Canada's decline perfectly. Overpriced, and poor quality with a bunch of clueless morons runing things.

ONE BRAVE ONTARIO JUDGE SAID THIS, AND IT SHOULD STOP EVERY CANADIAN IN THEIR TRACKS This came straight out of a Canadian courtroom, from an actual judge. Antonio Skarica, sitting on the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, just put the entire system on blast. He said the quiet part out loud. He called Canada’s justice system an “inflection point” and asked a question that should make every Canadian stop and think: Who are we prioritizing… the victim, or the offender? A Nigerian university student, identified in reporting as Osemeir, targeted a Canadian woman. He extorted her. He shared her intimate images. He left her living in what the judge described as “constant fear.” That’s not minor. That’s not a slap-on-the-wrist situation. That’s someone’s life being torn apart. Now here’s where it gets uncomfortable. The Crown, the prosecutors, were looking for a sentence of two years less a day. Why does that matter? Because under Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, once you hit a sentence of two years or more, it can trigger serious immigration consequences, including deportation and loss of appeal rights. So that one-day difference isn’t small. It’s everything. On the other side, the defense wasn’t even asking for jail time. They were pushing for a conditional discharge, which would have allowed him to stay in Canada. The judge saw exactly what was happening. He didn’t ignore it. He addressed it directly. He said, "If decisions are being influenced by immigration consequences, if sentences are being shaped not just by the crime, but by what might happen after, then we’re creating a system that’s no longer consistent." His words point to something bigger: A system where outcomes can start to look different depending on who’s standing in front of the court. And this isn’t just one judge speaking out. A judge in Quebec, Antoine Piché, raised the same issue, saying prosecutors are sometimes proposing lighter sentences or discharges for non-citizens specifically because of the risk of deportation. He warned that this creates what he called an “unnecessary two-tier system.” Two different tracks of justice. Not based on the crime, but based on the consequences tied to immigration status. Now before people start twisting this into something it’s not, this isn’t about ignoring rights, and it’s not about going after people because of where they’re from. This is about something much simpler. Consistency. If the same crime doesn’t lead to the same kind of outcome, people are going to notice. And when they notice, they start losing trust. Because for the victim, none of these legal layers matter. They care about one thing, did justice actually get done? And when even judges inside the system are publicly saying, “we’re at a breaking point,” that’s not something you brush off. That’s a warning. Not from me. From inside the system itself. So Wake Up Canada, we must all stand behind those who are showing us the truth in real time.

These individuals all entered Canada knowing full well their stay wasn’t permanent, they all signed the same forms. They all knew the rules. It’s time to go.

@JimMcMurtry01 That is sickening to imagine. Europeans who came to N. America had the benefit of 3000 years of evolution from savagery to civilization. The N. American indians have only had 300years. It seems they need more time.

Descendants of this scalp-taking Cowichan warrior from 1900 now get Richmond land worth $12 million each because of a long-ago summer camp where fish and scalps were seized.

This is wonderful. Incoming Hungarian PM Péter Magyar is invited on state TV for the first time in over a year - after being banned - just to tell them he's shutting them down. I hope the @BBCNews are watching. Their time is coming to an end. And it's going to be glorious.
