Letter of the Day
A haven of just rule
The ongoing debate surrounding our justice system, especially following the high-profile Tori Stafford case and Graham James trial, has prompted me to provide some perspective on the issue.
Sure, our justice system needs re-examination in certain areas (pedophilia, etc.), but that doesn't exactly mean it's failing us.

In most countries, tyranny and injustice dominate, while the rule of law is nowhere to be found. As a result, such countries are crippled by unchecked corruption.
The fact is, Canada is among the best places on earth, mainly because of the just rule it provides. Everybody is safe because laws are in place to protect us and, more important, the laws are actually upheld by trained and regulated law enforcement.
Consequently, Canada has become a haven for people suffering from injustice throughout the world. Personally, as an Ahmadi Muslim, I can testify that countless members from our community have fled state-sanctioned persecution in their very homeland of Pakistan, instead finding sanctuary in Canada and an environment of peace.
