Yes, they judge people/cases, but they aren't in any way related to the judges in the provincial and federal courts, which is what the term judges is going to be taken as referencing unless you qualify it. They don't require the same professional qualifications, they don't go through the same vetting process, and they don't have nearly the same powers. They're much closer to those who act as decision makers is various administrative tribunals, which is apples and oranges to judges, which, given your history, you're almost certainly trying to lump them in with in a negative way.

The second guy is wanted on 5 counts of sexual assualt on children. Has he been convicted? No, that doesn't mean he has a right to walk around our country willy nilly. I suspect the reason he came to Canada was to evade those charges. WHy should he be allowed to walk our streets?

Really unbelievable.
So basically you're saying: yes, foreign visitors to the country shouldn't get the benefit of our laws as citizens. Guilty until proven innocent, and regardless of how long your actual sentence was we'll hold you in jail until we feel like letting you out.
