🇨🇦 Permanent resident who left sex assault victim 'choking on blood' gets 12 years, could get deported

Could get deported. There it is: the Canadian state in one disgraceful phrase. A permanent resident from Ethiopia is convicted of a barbaric aggravated sexual assault that left a woman unrecognizable, unconscious for eight days, and permanently damaged, and the system still speaks in the soft language of process, hearings, reports, divisions, and maybe removal, as reported. Not immediate expulsion after sentence. Not certainty. Could.

This is what elite Canada built: open the door, lower the guard, then bury citizens under bureaucracy when the consequences turn savage. The judge rejected the fashionable excuse-making about hardship and gave 12 years, which at least acknowledges reality. But the immigration machine remains the usual maze of admissibility reviews, IRB hearings, and endless humanitarian throat-clearing. Canadians are expected to fund the prison term, fund the legal choreography after it, and pretend this is a serious country. A sovereign nation does not treat deporting violent foreign criminals as some delicate administrative puzzle. It does it.
