a real catch 22
In other words, some victims matter less than others.
Canada 2026, making racism hip again.
I thought this was the Beaverton
Why do we have a 3 tier justice system in Canada in 2026?
I thought this was a beaverton article.
When did this start
From[ the judgement](https://decisions.scc-csc.ca/scc-csc/scc-csc/en/item/21699/index.do):
>The sentencing judge must not lose sight of Parliament’s message, in enacting s. 718.04, that courts must do more to eradicate violence against Indigenous women and girls. Third, the sentencing judge must select the proportionate and just sentence in light of the Indigenous context. Parliament has expressly directed sentencing judges through s. 718.2(e) to consider all available sanctions, other than imprisonment.
Sooo…. the judge must consider the perpetrator *and* the victim. Great advice, what a game changer. Could it be considered ironic that 4 of the 5 judges that agreed with the reduced sentence for the woman beater were also women?
What’s going to happen when there is a crime that sentencing will effect their PR status, but the victim is a native? Do they receive a harsher sentence or a more lenient one?
immovable force vs unstoppable object
It’s hard when there’s not a preferred group…..
Or: be blind to a race, ignore indigenous status and sentence every citizen equally. Crazy, I know
Remember when information was truly hidden from us and you didn’t need more than half a brain cell to realize something.
I would assume since most people commit crimes near where they live and indigenous people generally live near indigenous people that statistically, most crimes involving indigenous victims also have indigenous offenders. So how is this just coming up as an issue now?
Our justice system is suck a fucking joke 😫
Is there any evidence at all lighter sentencing for native Canadians benefits society?
Thought this was a beaverton headline
I thought this would be a perfect fit for Restorative Justice – isn’t that one of the big aspect of Indigenous communities?
Why does them being Indigenous or not even matter
OMG Just throw the book at them. Fuck special treatment! I’m so tired of this bullshit.
A perfect example of systemic racism lol
Literal systemic discrimination within our country’s legal system. Absurd stuff.
Supreme court doesn’t know who to give preferential treatment too in the legal system.
Kangaroo court
Beaverton worthy headline
Can’t give indigenous offenders a slap on the wrist without letting down indigneous victims.
Better go with the offender, just to be extra sure
All the treaties and tier-based citizenship should go away. One Canada for all!
Victims/indigenous women aren’t going to get justice if the courts continue to obfuscate reality by focusing on historical factors. Colonialism isn’t punching vulnerable women in the face.
Given that most indigenous crime is committed against other indigenous, how is this the first time this happened?
Turns out that the overwhelming majority of violence against indigenous women is perpetrated by indigenous men, and when you release the men back into the community out of a false sense of seeking justice for marginalized groups, it seems that the men immediately revictimize indigenous women.
It almost seems like we care about how we treat indigenous men more than we care about how indigenous women are treated.

Perhaps a healing circle might work.
Race should not be a factor when it comes to sentencing. Period.
This country is cooked
I wonder if we will go back to the law applying equally to everyone in my lifetime. How long before treating every demographic differently blows up in the faces of our „experts“?
So let me get this straight, sentence length for a crime of domestic partner assault causing bodily harm will vary now based on race?
How this reads , the following would be the ranking of sentance lengths starting with the highest/most severe sentances :
1. Non-indigenous offender – indigenous victim
2. Non-indigenous (both) offender and victim
3. Indigenous (both) offender an
d
1. victim
2. Indigenous offender and non-indigenous victim
This is horrible for women
Cut a cheque to the criminal for a million and another cheque to the victim for three million and call it even. The punishment is missing out on the extra 2 million. It’s chump change in the grand scheme of things.
That’s always been a clear limitation of the woke ideology of the big victim. It’s like an intersectional card game. Who is the most oppressed? Who has the best victim hand? When both hands are equal, it becomes hard to decide.
This is a contradiction pointed out by Gad Saad (I don’t approve of all his ideas, but he was right on that one).
Indigenous person here and the punishment should match the crime like it’s supposed to for everyone else.
The ultimate UNO card that Gladue choose to ignore. The victims are in majority native. By going easy on criminals you turn all the Res into cesspool for everybody else.
