They SHOULD have deported both individuals and never let them back into

I agree with you. The justice's opinion misrepresents the evidence
presented by the government. How does the justice confuse which stamps
on the passport were referred to? Everything arrival and departure is
stamped and noted for a clear timeline of presentation of a passport to immigration officers.

Abso-frick-lutely.
But then I tend to be prejudiced against Syrians when it involves the Canadian government given the way the aunt (who lived in Toronto) of
that poor Kurdi boy had a MAJOR effect on the 2015 Canadian election
when she falsely said the Canadian government had failed in their duty towards her brother's family when it turned out that her brother had
obtained an application form for immigration to Canada but had never
actually applied - and had lost his son (a really cute 4 year old)
crossing from Turkey to Greece. Too bad the aunt was a Canadian
citizen by then - I would have deported her in a heartbeat for her
lies.
Bottom line is that no country has an obligation to deal with
non-applicants and thus did not fail them in any way - but Stephen
Harper DEFINITELY paid the price in that year's election for his
non-existent "cruelty" towards them.
It still makes me angry that Canadian voters tossed out the best PM in
my lifetime, Harper, and replaced him with Trudeau FOR NO GOOD REASON.
All Trudeau offered was nice hair, lies about the Syrians, and a lot of
SJW nonsense that is driving this country ever closer to Third World
status. (The Heir-Apparent, Mark Carney, will be even WORSE because he's >dedicated to Net Zero.)
We need an election SO BADLY it's impossible to overstate it. According
to Brian Lilley, who has sources within the Liberal Party, the Liberals
are scheming with the NDP to prop up the Liberals until the absolute
last possible minute under the constitution, which would delay the
election until September 2026 (repeat 2026, NOT 2025)! That would give
them ample time to do MUCH MORE damage to this country.

I don't know about Harper being the best PM in my lifetime
(bear in mind that I met Diefenbaker in person as a child
- which wasn't all that much of an accomplishment as I was
a 9 year old and my grandfather was running federally at
the time - for non-Canadians Dief was roughly in the last
days of Ike and JFK but left office for good in 1967) but
no question his replacement was a shadow on him.
Bottom line is by modern standards fiscally responsible
and despite the rhetoric he didn't do anything incredibly
shocking unlike Mr 45/47. Of course you could say much the
same of Paul Martin Jr too. (Martin Sr ran for his party
leadership and lost on the last ballot to Pierre Trudeau)

Diefenbaker was still in the House of Commons as a front
bencher in the early to mid 1970s. He was a shadow of
himself then, but still there physically, if not mentally.
I'll never forgive Diefenbaker for the Avro Arrow fiasco.
Canadian engineers and scientists did a tremendous job
on the creation of that jet which never got a fair chance
to impress the rest of the world.
OB TV: There is a Canadian made-for-TV movie "The Arrow"
which will explain the work behind the ground-breaking
engineering that helped to create the most advanced jet
airplane of its time and how the whole project not only
got scuttled, but literally destroyed on the decision
made by John Diefenbaker.

One judge makes a questionable decision and that means
Canada is not a serious country?
They SHOULD have deported both individuals and never let them back into

Might be, might not. That's why it is questionable. Is
there a particular reason these two should be singled out
by a capricious legal system that let's so many get away with
doing the same crimes, and is this reason Israel?
It might disappoint you to know, that Israel also has courts
that make questionable legal decisions, in case you're suggesting
that Canada would be better off managed by Israel.
