The problem is that the courts don't prioritize, and we're at a point where we need to triage. Cases involving death or serious bodily harm should be jumping the queue, and victimless crimes sent to the back of the bus.

Saskatchewan courts don't collect data on Jordan applications.

Had to know at least one right-wing-led province would ignore statistic collection.

Having a solid justice system is important, because if you don't, you start hearing the argument that police brutality isn't a bad thing because it's the only way offenders get punished. (Sadly, I have heard this argument from people who should know better.)

AI judges! As long as we are using "AI" to replace humans why not do it in a place where we are already short staffed?

How do you erode something that does not exist? Anyone who has "faith" in the justice system has not paid attention for the last 50 years.

A lot of municipalities these days are also falling all over themselves to put up speeding and red light cameras everywhere, which increases the institutional delay in our court systems. The ugly truth is that you just need to demand a court date for any ticket and they'll maybe get to you in four years. Putting together your own charter 11b challenge template, which is pretty damned easy in the Internet age, lets you pretty much ignore the cameras.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Two and a half years after Norman Tate's son was killed in a car accident, he's still struggling to come to terms with how the justice system handled the aftermath.

In an interview with CBC News, retired Supreme Court justice Richard Chartier said complicated cases can slow down judges as well.

In his interview with The House, Virani also cited increased federal funding for legal aid and said he expects provinces to step up — because people who can't afford lawyers tend to slow things down.

The large number of cases that collapse due to long delays is causing people to lose faith in the justice system, said Ivanna Iwasykiw, a lawyer who represents victims of sexual assault and abuse.

Michael Spratt, a criminal defence lawyer in Ottawa, said delays might affect whether a person pleads guilty or not, regardless of their guilt or innocence.

Conditions are so bad in some jails, Spratt said, that innocent people may plead guilty to avoid spending months in pre-trial detention.
