If this were your child in that video, would you still call the sentence “proportionate”?
The Supreme Court’s decision to strike down minimum sentences for child sexual abuse material is a huge step backwards.
Every image is a crime scene. Every offender makes a choice. Children deserve justice that deters, protects, and restores.

“My journey with the Joy Smith Foundation began when a friend handed me the book, ‘The True Story of Canadian Human Trafficking’ by Paul H. Boge. What I discovered in those pages shook me to my core — human trafficking was happening right here in Canada. The knowledge I gained from the book stirred something within me, and I signed up for the Foundation’s newsletters, eager to learn more about their work. It was through this connection that I stumbled upon the annual fundraiser, ‘Joy in Action.’ I chose to volunteer because I wanted to be part of a cause that truly resonated with me. I had been searching for the right organization for a while, and the Joy Smith Foundation’s local focus and inclusive approach felt like the perfect fit. Volunteering for the Foundation is a simple and effective way to contribute to my community. What stands out to me is how well the Foundation treats its volunteers. I genuinely feel appreciated and valued.“
