More examples of a disaster of a justice system in Canada.

[blackbird]

Let’s be blunt. Canada’s current system is not working. According to Health Canada data, more than 42,000 people have died from opioid overdoses since 2016. In 2023 alone, roughly 22 people died every single day. That is not a crisis. That is a slow-motion national massacre."

And yet in our courts, street-level traffickers are routinely handed six months to two years, often with probation. Mid-level dealers may see three to eight years. The worst cases may face more than a decade, but sentences of 10 years or more remain rare. In many instances, traffickers walk out in less time than it takes for a grieving family to finish paying funeral expenses."

Less than 1/5 of all our homicides lead to a conviction & life sentence. The norm is a handful of years with an early release.

KLEIN: Assembly of Chiefs right to demand tougher sentences

From the article.

Canada once prided itself on being tough when lives were at stake. We banned asbestos because it killed. We set strict rules for tobacco because it kills.

Did we outlaw tobacco? No. And let's be blunt about asbestos. We treated its deadliness as a product safety issue. Nobody went to jail.

In any case the systems in far more right wing, conservative and uncompromising jurisdictions than Canada's don't seem to be working either.

Here's a clue, the solutions are far more economic social and medical in nature.

Our system was a lot more right-wing and unforgiving when I was a teenager than it is now. Yet I was working in a bar smack downtown and would walk home at 2AM, a distance of some twenty blocks or so, and never see a homeless person nor have the least fear of crime.

The solution then was vagrancy laws, locking up drug users/abusers, and mental health hospitals for crazy people. I think we need more of these.

Our laws are poorly formulated. Laws such as 'attempted murder' are virtually never prosecuted because it's almost impossible to satisfy the conditions without a confession. 

"You shot that man six times in the chest. That's attempted murder!"

"Naw. I wasn't trying to kill him."

"Not guilty!"

Examine the retardation level of this Trudeau judge, if you will. He sees before him a career criminal, a man with two separate firearm prohibitions which he both ignored who chased a man down, shooting him in the chest and killing him. Murder? Nope. Manslaughter. Why? Because he'd been drinking. So what? That's not an excuse for raping someone. Why is it an excuse for murdering someone?

Is this not amazing? He's not 'convinced' that he intended to harm someone by shooting himin the chest!

“I accepted the evidence of the defendant that he lost his cool, wasn’t himself and had been drinking. I was not satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that he intended to kill him when he shot him. Nor was I convinced if he shot him, (that he knew) he was likely to cause bodily harm,” Brown said in his reasons for sentence.

I can count the times on one hand I've locked my doors the last 50 years.

I'd probably be locked up and my kids would be in foster care if I raised them up like I was. 

And don't talk to me about liberals...the system forced my parents to make me go to free school...I was even tested for my psi abilities ffs. LMAO!

The solution was to keep delivering papers, raking leaves and shoveling snow. Then when I was fifteen I hitchhiked out west to the boonies and went logging and fishing.

We’ve experimented with your fairy tale system and it’s been an unmitigated disaster.  It’s time for people like you to sit down, shut up, and let somebody else fix the problem you’ve created.

Sure. BTW exactly what problem did I create up here on my deck and how will you fix it? The problem I mean, not the deck, it's fine.

I'll be semi retired in a month or so and I'll probably be spending a fair bit more time up here.

The Federal government ought to be imprisoned for accessory to multiple murders!

When white people are the minority, does anyone think there'll be affirmative action programs for US? Or that human rights agencies will care what's done to us or how we're discriminated against? They don't even care now!

Of course there will be if we're being discriminated against. But only if we put up a fight.

I've given some thought to going fishing according to my inherent human right as an Earthling to sustain myself from my planet's resources. Take being white entirely out of the equation.

My right to do so as a Canadian is ever more constrained due to the decreasing availability of resources and demands on them. I'd have no choice but to take it to a new level.

I'd basically be challenging and forcing the government to say it doesn't recognize Earth or Earthlings and that we didn't come first.

Maybe they'll try to argue I'm what I was assigned as at birth to get around the inescapably natural truth of my fundamental identity and birthright.

A man was tried and found guilty and sentenced in B.C. today to six years for arson and shooting a house up.   A ridiculously low sentence for that kind of terrorism.  He will only serve four years now because of time served.

Nope, just staying away from the kool-aid stand you frequent.

Another judge thoroughly condemned an evil man for a terrible, violent act and then giving him a sentence that is a fraction of what he ought to have received. Twenty-eight months for a brutal rape in an alleyway that lasted half an hour.

Three guys were charged with murder but apparently, when someone on their cell block attacked a guard everyone was strip searched and made to sit in their underwear for a couple of hours. 

To Canadian judges, that, apparently, is vastly more important than any crime they could possibly commit.

So yesterday, a Canadian judge stayed the charges and set them free after what it called 'state torture'.
