Canadian public safety is at risk because of the failure of the justice system to protect the public. This failure includes permitting offenders who commit serious crimes, including repeat offenders, to return to the community while on bail. It also includes a parole system that does not sufficiently consider the risks of offenders re-offending upon their return to the community.
Lenient Sentences by Judges
Canadian judges are failing the public by imposing sentences which ignore what ought to be the one fundamental purpose of sentencing which is to protect the safety of the public. Instead, a reading of the Criminal Code’s sentencing provisions in Part XXIII reveals a number of complementary and at times competing, if not conflicting, principles lacking a coherent ranking and objective rationale. No wonder then, that judges are undermining what ought to be the fundamental purpose of sentencing by overemphasizing offenders’ Aboriginal and racial backgrounds, or immigrant status, while overlooking the harm that the offence has caused to the innocent victim. For Example, some judges are imposing reduced sentences on immigrant offenders in order to avoid triggering the provision in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act that requires deportation for those who receive sentences for any crime with a sentence of 10 years or more, or if they have received a sentence of six months or more. This occurred recently in May 2026 when in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Justice Stephen J. Wojciechowski of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice issued an absolute discharge (to avoid deportation) to an Indian (Sikh) truck driver who pleaded guilty to dangerous driving in a fatal crash that killed two people.
Bill C-220, a Conservative-sponsored Private Member’s Bill, would have amended the Criminal Code to prevent courts from considering an offender’s immigration status in sentencing. Unfortunately, this bill was defeated on Second Reading on March 25, 2026. The defeat meant that the Bill never reached the Committee stage, which would have resulted in greater public comment.
Lack of Enforcement of Canadian Law
The reason for these flawed judicial decisions is not only due to Supreme Court of Canada decisions in such cases as the 2013 decision in R. v. Pham and the later 2018 decision in R. v. Suter but may also be due to the fact that in the decade that Justin Trudeau served as Prime Minister, he appointed nearly 800 judges across Canada. A common thread in these appointments is that the vast majority of them had made a financial contribution to the Liberal Party of Canada. Briefly stated: Trudeau de facto made it mandatory that appointments to the Bench be based on the candidates’ financial support of the Liberal Party. As a result of this policy, many competent, knowledgeable and sensible lawyers have been denied appointments to the Bench.
In addition to all the problems that have resulted due to the administration of the law, a serious situation has also arisen in regard to a lack of enforcement of the law. For example, in response to a Parliamentary Inquiry made by Brad Redekopp (Saskatoon West) at the time vice-chair of the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration, the Canada Border Services Agency reported that as of 2024, it has lost track of over 28,000 foreign fugitives with active deportation orders pending. Hundreds of these individuals have prior criminal convictions in Canada or abroad.
But the Border Service is not the only one failing in their enforcement duties as local police seem to be just as ineffectual. It is disturbing that Muslim protestors are permitted to block city streets and stop traffic with their demonstrations, while shouting hateful, antisemitic remarks that condemn Jews and Israel. They do so without being held accountable for their actions. For example, the entrance of Notre Dame Cathedral in Montreal, the largest Catholic cathedral in Quebec, was blocked by Muslims “praying.” The police did not stop them. This constitutes a double standard in Canada. If a group of Christians prayed in front of a Mosque preventing entry into it, they would immediately be disbursed by the police and charged with disturbing the peace. The political majority in Canada seems to cringe in fear of the extremist Islamic minority among Canadian Muslims who are indulging in this lawlessness. These protestors dislike the Jewish minority in Canada, many of whom can trace their heritage of contributing to Canada for hundreds of years.
Why are these newcomers allowed to freely express their foreign-bred hateful values in this country? The Criminal Code (s. 319) prohibits hatred against discernible groups, such as the Jewish people. Why is this law not enforced? Why are the laws against trespassing, disturbing the peace, intimidation and threats, not being enforced against extremist Islamists in Canada? Why has the Muslim Brotherhood, responsible for many terrorist acts around the world, not been declared a terrorist group here? Instead, it is permitted to raise funds to be used both here in Canada and abroad. Why has the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC), which is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, been granted charitable tax status by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)? MAC repeatedly invites activists to its conferences whose objectives are to wage a holy war in order to create political Islam in Canada. Why is the Department of Canadian Heritage’s Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Program allowed to provide funding to racists, activists and organizations such as the Muslim Association of Canada? Why is the federal government funding the Canadian Human Rights Museum in Winnipeg which recently opened an exhibit blaming Israel for the problems in the Middle East, particularly in Palestine? This is not history, it is propaganda.
Public Safety at Risk
Until these failures in our justice system and border/police enforcement are rectified, ordinary Canadians are no longer safe. Instead, they have become vulnerable to the criminal offenders and protestors who are permitted to continue with their unlawful and harmful activities without restraint.
It should be acknowledged, however, that the Liberal government appears to be aware of the threat to public safety. It has attempted, somewhat, to address the problem with Bill C-14, An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Youth Criminal Justice Act and the National Defense Act (bail and sentencing) which recently became law on June 15th. This Bill, however, although potentially helpful, is not sufficient to protect Canadian citizens. In addition, the government authorities are not enforcing Canadian laws breached by the Muslim protestors whose demonstrations are rampant in Canada. These protesters have no fear of Canadian laws not only because they are not being enforced, but perhaps more importantly because they have no respect for fundamental Canadian values.
REAL Women’s Concerns
REAL Women has long been concerned about the unlawfulness that has been placing Canadian families at risk. At REAL Women’s Annual General Meeting, on June 19, 2026, a Resolution was passed (see below), raising the problem of public safety. It recommends that political leaders at all levels – federal, provincial and municipal, be alerted to public concerns, and request that changes be enacted to call a halt to the harmful situation in which we are currently living.
Federal Political Leaders
Please write to Prime Minister Mark Carney, Minister of Justice Sean Fraser and your MP regardless of party, requesting the following:
- The Criminal Code be amended so that immigration status is no longer a consideration in sentencing and that immigrants who have broken the law are required to serve a full sentence, after which they are immediately deported from Canada.
- Although Bill C-14, The Bail and Sentencing Reform Act, has improved somewhat the problems that have arisen with bail and the parole system, it has not provided sufficient restraint to protect Canadians and therefore must be tightened. Please request that the Justice System (Bail and Parole) be further tightened.
- The federal government immediately cease funding racists, activists and organizations such as the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) and the Winnipeg-based Human Rights Museum, which promote the special interest ideology, especially against the Jewish people and Israel.
- The Criminal Code be amended so that offenders, regardless of their background, whether Indigenous or ethnic, be sentenced the same as all other offenders. That is, all offenders must be treated and sentenced exactly the same and impartially regardless of their background.
- CRA revoke the charitable status of the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC), which is tied to the Muslim Brotherhood.
- The Muslim Brotherhood be declared a terrorist organization in Canada.
Provincial Political Leaders
The provinces are responsible for the enforcement of the law. Please write to your provincial premier, attorney general, solicitor general, or minister of justice as applicable, and your provincial member of legislature (addresses below) to ensure that all laws are enforced equally and impartially to all residents of their province, and no longer give consideration for special interest groups such as Muslims, Aboriginals, Blacks etc.
Municipal Political Leaders
The mayor and city councillors of each municipality have the responsibility to ensure the safety of its citizens. Please write to your mayor and local councilor and request the distribution of your communication to members of the city council requesting that the police department in your community be required to enforce the law impartially on the entire population and not defer to special interest groups.
If there is no police force in your community, law enforcement is usually the responsibility of the RCMP or the district police departments such as the Ontario Provincial Police (O.P.P.) in Ontario, or The Sûreté du Québec in Quebec.
Conclusion
If we do not raise our voices against the catastrophe of the failure to enforce the law in Canada that results in placing Canadian lives in jeopardy, then nothing will be done. The harm and deaths will continue.
REAL WOMEN OF CANADA
RESOLUTION
2026
Addressing Risks to Community Safety
Whereas the current application of Canada’s bail laws is permitting serious offenders, including repeat offenders, to freely return to the community; and
Whereas Canada’s parole system allows offenders to be paroled without due regard to their likelihood to re-offend, endangering the safety of those living within the community into which they are released; and
Whereas Canadian judges are imposing sentences on offenders that are not based on the fundamental purpose of sentencing, which is to protect society, uphold respect for the law and maintain a just, peaceful and safe society, but instead, are undermining these fundamental purposes by over emphasizing the offender’s aboriginal or racial background; and
Whereas Judges are imposing reduced sentences on immigrant offenders in order to avoid triggering automatic deportation for sentences that are over 2 years; and
Whereas Canadian authorities continue to permit antisemitic and anti-Israeli demonstrations which frequently block the streets, without legal consequences for these demonstrators, including penalties for their unlawful acts; and
Whereas Canadian Heritage’s Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Program has provided funding to racist activists and organizations such as the Muslim Association of Canada which has tax exempt charitable status and has links to the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood; and
Whereas the Muslim Association of Canada repeatedly invites activists to its conferences whose objectives are to call upon Muslims to wage a holy war against Western civilization in order to create political Islam in Canada. This occurred at the Muslim Association of Canada’s recent convention in May 2026, whereby Muslim High School and University students were encouraged to promote Muslim values, even if it involved violence; and
Whereas the federal government has failed to declare The Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist organization, even though the organization is responsible for terrorist acts around the world. This failure to declare the organization as a terrorist organization has permitted the Muslim Brotherhood to operate freely, including to fundraise, in Canada; and
Whereas the federal Liberal government continues to endanger the lives and property of Canadians by failing to apply existing laws that are aimed at protecting the safety of Canadians; and
BE IT RESOLVED that in order to protect Canadians and Canadian society, REAL Women calls on appropriate levels of government to affect the following:
a) The Criminal Code be amended so that Deportation is not to be considered as a factor when imposing a sentence, unless it is to require and facilitate the immediate removal of the offender from Canada;
b) The implementation of the recently passed legislation on bail reform, Bill C-14, The Bail and Sentencing Reform Act be made a priority;
c) The Muslim Brotherhood be declared a terrorist organization by the federal government;
d) The Muslim Association of Canada’s charitable status be revoked;
e) Incidents of antisemitism and the promotion of hatred against Israel be investigated and prosecuted to the full extent of the law, since such actions are antithetical to the secular, pluralistic, and multicultural society of Canada
