“This is a government that conducts itself catering to Twitter,” Goldkind said.

For every action there is a reaction and this is just one reason running your mouth and then having to back it up with ill thought out legislation leads to problems.

I wonder how many more mistrials we'll see in the future because of our PM and his former Minister of Justices rushed to change the racial demographics of how our justice system worked.

WRONG

He didn’t “change the racial demographics of how our justice system worked.”

In fact it’s the exact opposite.

It was the Lawyers who used peremptory challenges to “change the racial demographics of how our justice system worked.” And now that’s rightfully no longer legal.

In his mandate letter to Jody Wilson-Raybould, Canada’s first indigenous justice minister, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau instructed her to reduce the number of indigenous people in prison. The federal government’s 2017 budget allocated 65.2 million Canadian dollars over five years beginning in 2017 to help reverse the trend.

So continue to bash the PM with things he didn't do and couldn't do by reversing and misrepresenting the things he did do because he had to.

The findings indicate that Caucasians, along with Asians, are under-represented in the Canadian federal correctional system, while Blacks are over-represented. As noted earlier, there is a similar disproportionate representation of Blacks in correctional facilities in the United States (Stephan, 2001) and England/Wales (Elkins & Olgundoye, 2001). Furthermore, according to Elkins and Olgundoye, Asians are also over-represented in England/Wales.

The court ruled in the 1999 case R v. Gladue that judges should consider alternatives to incarceration when sentencing Indigenous offenders and take into account their unique life circumstances.

That's now known as Gladue factors, which can include family history of substance abuse and intergenerational trauma from the residential school system.

The 1999 Gladue decision was intended to address the overrepresentation of Indigenous people in the criminal justice system.

Many Indigenous justice advocates across the country, however, say the justice system has failed to live up to that promise, including in the North where there are higher rates of Indigenous incarceration.
