🇨🇦 N.L. justice officials can't say how many cases are tossed after trial delays. So we tracked them

The sharpest part is not the delays. It is that the Department of Justice cannot even say how many cases collapsed because of them. A government that can count every compliance target, every workshop, every bureaucratic vanity metric somehow loses track when prosecutions die in open court. As reported, outsiders had to manually track dockets, attend hearings, and review audio for a year and a half just to assemble basic numbers the state should already know.

This is what administrative rot looks like in late Trudeau-era Canada: endless preaching about justice, equity, and institutions, paired with a system too incompetent or too uninterested to measure its own failures. When cases are tossed after trial delays and officials cannot even quantify the damage, that is not transparency. It is a governing class insulated from consequences while public faith in law and order gets quietly fed into the shredder. Sovereignty starts at home, and a state that cannot manage core justice functions has no business lecturing the country about trust.
