re: #918 Van Helsing

Yes. Canada has a civil law system — functioning perfectly well. (the Islamists who wished to bring in Sharia law, at the provincial level, argued that the family courts are “too crowded”, and it “takes too long” — so then they wanted to have “special” Muslim officiated “courts” which would adjudicate things such as inheritance, child support, divorce, etc. — these would trump the secular, civil, family-law courts…there was never any clear indication about how they’d choose who’d be “the judge”; how disputes with a decision would be handled; appeals? etc., etc., etc.)
