A Quebec judge has just dropped a bombshell, and it could change how Canadians view the justice system forever.
In a stunning ruling, Antoine Piché accused prosecutors of “regularly” recommending lighter sentences for non-citizens… not based on the crime, but to avoid deportation under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
That means two people could commit the exact same crime… and receive different sentences… based solely on immigration status.
Is this justice, or a dangerous new precedent?
Even the Supreme Court of Canada has warned against allowing indirect consequences like immigration status to influence sentencing. So why is it happening now?
And more importantly, how long has this been going on?
In this episode of Tap the Maple, we break down:
The case that exposed it all
The “six months less a day” strategy
Why this may violate core legal principles
And what it means for trust in Canada’s justice system
Because if justice isn’t equal… what is?
