Immigration Loopholes Under Fire | Calgary News

Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner is sounding the alarm over what she calls “candy sentences” in Canada’s justice system, where immigrants convicted of crimes are getting lenient treatment—sometimes even avoiding deportation—because of their immigration status. She’s calling it “insane and disgusting,” citing a Montreal judge who criticized prosecutors for suggesting such soft penalties. One shocking example: a man who violently stole a phone received a conditional discharge partly due to his immigration status. Rempel Garner demands the Criminal Code be amended to remove immigration status as a sentencing factor and is pushing for both Immigration and Justice Ministers to resign. While Liberals have introduced tougher measures against violent crime, they’ve ignored this loophole. Ironically, despite her fiery stance, recent polls show Canadians trusting the Liberal leader more on policy—making this a politically charged moment with real consequences for public safety and trust.
