🇨🇦 32 years later, Ottawa discovers justice was optional

A Quebec man convicted of murder in 1992 is getting a new trial in 2024 because the federal justice minister suddenly found reason to doubt the verdict, as reported. Thirty-two years. That is not a justice system catching a rare error, that is a state admitting it can take half a lifetime to notice whether it crushed the right citizen. The same political class that lectures Canadians about trust in institutions cannot even guarantee those institutions got a murder case right before a man grows old under their mistake.

And notice the ritual here: no grand reckoning, no panic, just another bureaucratic correction from the same federal machine that keeps centralizing power while demanding moral authority. Ottawa wants more control over speech, banking, guns, and daily life, but when it comes to the most basic sovereign duty of a nation, competent justice, it shrugs three decades late. Liberal Canada is all process, no accountability, and the bill always arrives for ordinary people.
