Canada’s justice system is a joke:
Police laid charges of assault and forcible confinement against the three men in May 2009, after they detained a man caught on the store’s security cameras stealing houseplants from the Lucky Moose.

After that was resolved, Justice Ramez Khawly of the Ontario Court of Justice dropped a bombshell: There is not a single court-accredited Mandarin interpreter in the Province of Ontario.
