I live in Peel & my perception is the exact opposite.
In fact I'd go so far as to observe that it's served as the breeding ground for some of the most biased legal hacks in the province who've later gone to become Head Crowns & Judges elsewhere.

Leo McGuigan (sp?), who was effectively the 'go to guy' when the AG's Office was making its 'deal with the devil' with Karla Holmolka, was also then the long-time supervisor for an area which included Peel.

At least with all of the terrorists being male, you may possibly be on to something since Peel is notorious for gender-biased justice:
When (now Judge) Paul Taylor was Head Crown (under old Leo) he once got into a very public scrap with Mr. Justice Flaherty in open Court (!) over his outright demand that a nanny actually videotaped physically abusing a toddler receive a conditional sentence!

His rationale: nothing beyond her say-so that she'd been an 'abused woman' in her third world homeland prior to coming to Canada !!!

As I have said, it is at least a quarter century since I had any dealings with the Peel Crown.

Pity! I rather enjoyed the old attitude.

But then I have some very old fashioned attitudes. I always maintained that things in Toronto got really boring after the holdup squad guy with the rabbit suit got promoted to Chief Superintendent.
