Do Canadians have the right to circulate a recall petition for these judges ?

Don't know about Saskatchewan but if they're appointed judges, sure why not . Petitions are admitted everyday to the House of Commons in Ottawa , and I don't know why Regina would be any different, even if it is an NDP government.

I'm not a lawyer but to me the verses on they're own are not the problem, it's the way they were manipulated with graphics and used to make a statement that the law says is hateful that is.

A provincial superior court justice, being appointed by the federal government, cannot be removed from office except by an address to the House of Commons and Senate.

Although removal proceedings have been commenced on four separate occasions, all of those judges resigned before Parliament ever considered the issue.

If you want to complain about this judge's conduct, you can write to the body which investigates complaints into misconduct of federally-appointed judges:

Canadian Judicial Council
Suite 450, 112 Kent Street
Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0W8
fax (613) 998-8889
More information is available at theCanadian Judicial Council wesbite.

You'll probably be told to go pound sand because the issue here is the decision, and not the conduct, of the judge in question.

At this point, Mr. Owens' only meaningful option is to take his case to the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal.
