Judges are losing their minds! WHY would you want a criminal here? They need to be deported! Not only are refugees and immigrants not being screened properly, but when they're caught, they're given very lenient sentences? How does that make any sense? These judges need to be fired!

Judges and lawyers, as well as politicians, recognize criminals, especially fraudsters, as what Lenin called a "socially allied element."

Deportation should have been automatic.

Based on the article, this man is a repeat offender, indicating that he is unrepentant.. he is only sorry he got caught. My vote would be to deport him.. we don’t need more criminals in Canada

So true. Unfortunately, a liberal vote is more important

What is wrong with this judge. You have a non citizen scamming new immigrants and give him a reduced sentence so that he can qualify for citizenship in Canada is complete bulls---. This guy should be kicked out of Canada. We don't need new citizens who are criminals. This sentence must be appealed and this judge should be removed from the bench.

The article said he's been here since at least 2009, so not a "new" immigrant. Welcome to Canada, where criminals run free.

How does the general public direct their anger at such situations and get these judges fired?

The lienetcy of the judge is unacceptable. This guy is a repeat offender so he should be deported. The judge should loose his job period.

The only justification for a reduced sentence would be to get him deported earlier. Unless he is a man of means, the financial penalty is counterintuitive. Where is he going to get the $1000.00 per month to pay the fine other than renewed criminal activity?

The government is probably giving him $3000/month 🙄

We all know Layton will never pay a cent. Conlan is disgustingly naive.

Because he is a repeat offender and he has been busted for the same crime countless times and the judge gave him six months for fraud. Years ago he would be facing 5 to 10 years for fraud. But not today because he's an immigrant. I say if you are against the public comment then maybe you should go back to bed. The judge should loose his job period. It's the judge who gave him a lienient sentence not the public. Take your head out of your ass.

Great question. I hope someone posts an answer. We’re getting to the stage where mobs with pitchforks are needed as no politician or cop is helping normal people. Only criminals and immigrants get generous treatment; the exact folks we don’t want around!

Don’t forget- as an immigrant you can sexually violate minors with no repercussions as well.

Six months sentence for fraud is unacceptable for taking advantage of others. This guy should be given more than six months for his blatant disregard for the law. This judge should loose his job. Such a disgrace of the rule of law.

I think if some of these judges had consequences there would be less of this. I'd like to really understand why in his mind, to do what he did is really not that bad? How about he be the judge for Tamara and Chris? Using the same criteria as he did here with this dirt bag

This man is a repeat offender & he’s not even a citizen! These things work in his favour? What kind of a screwball Justice system/ Judge do we have here in Canada? You’re charged with a crime , you should be automatically deported! Yet a man trying to defend his home (a Canadian citizen), gets criminally charged for defending himself?

Canada wants to replace the Right with the Rot. I think they're succeeding.

The real issue is the hypocrisy of the judge. He is ultimately correct though, it’s up to Canada Border Protection to seek a deportation order through the court. The author highlighted how many times the judge mentioned “immigration consequences” though. The judge knows, but he’s covering himself in this very sensitive political immigration issue. Judges are not allowed to be influenced by bias, including political bias…
