No perfect justice system or answer. However my personal (and I’m confident unpopular) opinion is that the Canadian justice system focuses too much on “rehabilitation” (eyeroll), leniency and principles of forgiveness, which are mainly covers to reduce costs as opposed to what should also be a system delivering punishment and relinquishment of freedom when especially breaking laws where people die.
Drunk driving laws, especially, are wildly lax. There are people I have heard of who have been arrested multiple times for drunk driving and still have their license, etc. just absurd.
