Increasingly, politicians across the country are taking aim at judges. This is a dangerous trend that has crept across the border from Trump’s America. It should concern all Canadians because it threatens to erode respect for the rule of law in this country.
I’ve been following such events for three decades and I cannot remember a time when attacks on judges were so frequent and faced such little blowback.
Canada’s courts have come to resemble an insane asylum run by the inmates.
Last August, law enforcement in the German state of Saarland responded to a call of armed robbery at a local convenience store, where they came upon the suspect, a knife-wielding Turkish teenager who’d just bagged around €600—the teen attacked and during the scuffle, “seized a service weapon from a trainee, and opened fire.” (I would like to know if that “trainee” who couldn’t keep hold of the firearm was a woman.) Ahmet G., the 19-year-old miscreant, hit 34-year-old Police Chief Inspector Simon Bohr with a spray of bullets, and Bohr died at the scene after being shot in “the head, face, neck, shoulder, abdomen, and back.” Bohr also left behind a wife and child(ren).
TORONTO – An Ontario man who pleaded guilty to three terrorism charges was sentenced Friday to 20 years in prison.
Matthew Althorpe admitted to creating and publishing white supremacist propaganda as an active member of the terror group Atomwaffen Division, and an agreed statement of facts in the case said manifestos he published on Telegram inspired multiple terrorist attacks.
Superior Court Justice Jane Kelly said in her ruling that the propaganda Althorpe created can never be erased and will continue to inspire more violence.
20 years? That’s nothing! If you’re a Muslim terrorist you might have to say sorry and suffer a peace bond!
As of late 2025/early 2026, there is no single, precise, publicly available official tally of “returned suspected ISIS terrorists” currently in Canada, because the term is not strictly defined in government reporting and includes varying levels of suspicion/evidence.
The most commonly cited historical figure comes from Public Safety Canada’s 2018 Public Report on the Terrorist Threat to Canada (still referenced in 2025 analyses): roughly 60 individuals with Canadian connections were suspected of having engaged in extremist activities abroad and had returned to Canada. Only a relatively small subset of these had returned from the core ISIS conflict zones (Turkey, Iraq, or Syria); the broader ~190 “extremist travellers” included people who went to other locations.
In December 2021, Everton Downey stabbed his girlfriend Melissa Blimkie 15 times in a stairwell at a shopping mall in Burnaby. She died. Downey was convicted of second-degree murder. In February, the British Columbia Supreme Court sentenced him to life in prison, the minimum sentence set out in the Criminal Code. The Crown sought no chance for parole for at least 15 years. But Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes decided on 12 years instead, in part because of “mitigating circumstances of his background,” as described in his Impact of Race and Culture Assessment (IRCA). The time to parole was reduced because of Downey’s experience of being Black.
A judge took a Toronto drug dealer’s race into account when he sentenced him for trafficking and possessing a loaded handgun while under a court-ordered firearm prohibition.
The judge was persuaded that Brandon Caleb’s “life experiences flowing from his societal disadvantage and anti-Black racism normalized gun possession in his mind,” said the recent decision. “This somewhat attenuates his moral responsibility.”
There is a judge on the Ontario Superior Court of Justice whose signature move is letting violent men walk free because of racism. One of the architects of race-based sentencing, his name is Faisal Mirza, and he was appointed to the bench by former prime minister Justin Trudeau in 2022.
Mirza’s flourish of race-based acquittals is not a case of a judge gone rogue: indeed, it’s perfectly on-brand. He was writing about the need for more racial considerations in the Canadian justice system in 2001, before he even became a lawyer. Back then, he argued in the Osgoode Hall Law Journal that mandatory minimum sentences for drug and weapons offences would be racist because of the disproportionate impact they’d have on Black people.
Race based justice is anti-white racism.
Is he a Muslim who hates the west? That’s a fair question.
A Federal Court judge set aside a ruling by Canada’s Refugee Protection Division (RPD), saying it failed “to engage with a critical piece of evidence” when it revoked a Pakistani man’s refugee status after he returned to the country on multiple occasions.
Irfan Ahmad arrived in Canada under the “convention refugee abroad” program in 2014, citing his status as a member of the Ahmadi community, a persecuted Muslim minority group in Pakistan.

An Indigenous man who bragged to an undercover cop about the Gladue “discount” that would cut his penalty in half for helping to clean up after a Calgary murder has been sentenced to 6.5 years in prison, even though the Crown was looking for as much as 10.
A jury convicted Jason Leo Tait of being an accessory after the fact to murder in the death of Keenan Crane. He was acquitted of manslaughter.
ALBERTA — The morning of August 18, 2022, in a quiet southwest Calgary subdivision, Nakita Baron, 31, stepped into the family’s Bentley beside her husband — a money launderer for Mexican cartels linked to Ryan Wedding’s massive cocaine importation pipeline.
An Indigenous Ontario man has swapped a life sentence for 12 years in prison for killing a disabled drug dealer.
Kenneth Morrison was convicted of first-degree murder for his role in the July 7, 2018, home invasion in Kitchener, Ont., that left Shaun Yorke, 46, dead with a bullet in his chest. Morrison and an accomplice were both sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years. But Morrison successfully appealed his case to Ontario’s top court, which set aside his murder conviction, substituted a conviction for manslaughter, and sentenced him again.
Now in its second reading, Bill C-223 , an Act to amend the Divorce Act, also known as the “Keeping Children Safe Act,” is a private member’s bill tabled by Liberal MP Lisa Hepfner. Endorsed by a slew of feminist organizations , C-223 seeks to end “parental alienation” as a legal consideration in family court. Far from keeping children safe, the bill, if passed, will put many children in jeopardy, while keeping their alienating parents safe.
A British Columbia judge has knocked a year off the prison sentence for a Métis-Cree woman who sexually assaulted a teen less than half her age after sending the boy “sexualized photographs” of herself “in states of undress, as well as pictures of her breasts and vagina.”
The whys weren’t very clear when Collin Dennis Ayorech took a sword and hacked off three of his girlfriend’s fingers.
Not content with his handiwork, the maniac then cut Dawn Warden’s breast, ear, face, leg and abdomen.
Public calls for Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw’s resignation are growing following news that seven current officers were among more than two dozen people charged in an internal corruption probe.
During a news conference Thursday at York Regional Police headquarters in Aurora, it was revealed that the officers, a retired cop, and 19 additional suspects were all taken into custody following a months-long investigation into organized crime.
