It's been almost a year since I wrote about how Canada's race-based "justice" system has led to gross injustices for indigenous women and girls. Why? Because those indigenous women and girls are more likely to be murdered by other indigenous people. But because Canadian politicians are infested with the woke mind virus, they are literally paralyzed about what is the moral thing to do: do they put the indigenous criminals in prison to protect other indigenous people? Or is that racist?
Unfortunately, even Canada's Supreme Court lacks the moral and political clarity to do what's right, and is "split" over what to do when both the criminal and the victim are indigenous.

The Supreme Court of Canada has tried to resolve competing judicial imperatives — addressing Indigenous overincarceration and high rates of violence against Indigenous women — in cases when a male offender and a female victim are both Indigenous.

The complexity and importance of this tension was highlighted by 22 groups being granted intervenor status to offer input in the case, including the attorneys general of three provinces, First Nations and Indigenous organizations, law groups, and numerous human rights, civil liberties and constitutional advocacy organizations.
The fact the nine Supreme Court justices were split five to four in their decision, released Friday, reflects divergent views on how best to protect Indigenous victims while ensuring rehabilitation for Indigenous offenders.
In a bid to reconcile what the court called Canada’s “twin crises,” the majority opinion laid out a framework for judges to follow when confronted by situations like the case of a vicious beating in Nova Scotia.

“Indigenous people find themselves disproportionately and excessively imprisoned, while Indigenous women and girls suffer from unacceptably high levels of violence and abuse,” the Supreme Court says in its decision.
“Both of these pressing issues have been shaped by the experiences of colonization and addressing them together is central to the ongoing process of reconciliation. Parliament has sought to address both concerns through the criminal sentencing process.”
Indigenous men aren't committing violent crimes because of colonialism or racism. They're committing crimes for the same reason certain demographic groups in America commit crimes: poor impulse control, anti-social behaviors, broken homes, and a government that refuses to hold them accountable for acting like violent monsters.
And, much like in America, the people being victimized the most are the ones these pro-criminal policies are meant to "help."

No matter how hard I tried, I can't wrap my head around this mentality. Then again, I'm not a Leftist who thinks in terms of intersectionality or feels guilty for the things my ancestors may (or may not) have done. Free of those burdens, I am able to look at Canada's problem with the moral clarity it deserves: It's wrong to rape, assault, and murder people.
It doesn't matter if they're white, black, or indigenous.
Crime is wrong. Pretending its somehow justified or less problematic because of the race of the perpetrator, and infantilizing an entire demographic group in the progress, is what's really racist.
And it doesn't matter who the perpetrator is, he (or she) belongs in prison. Statistics don't matter to those of us with this moral clarity; if you do the crime, you do the time. If indigenous (or black or Hispanic) people commit more crimes, more of them belong in prison where they can't harm anyone.
I think here of what Blessed Fulton Sheen said about this toxic empathy:
"False compassion. False compassion, which is gradually growing in this country, is a pity that is shown not to the mugged, but to the mugger; not to the family of the murdered, but to the murderer. Not to the woman who was raped, but to the rapist. Not to the poor girl who's given a shot of dope, but to the rich boy who happens to come from a fine family."
"There are some judges, some in some of our courts. There are some social workers, not all. There are sob sisters. There are the social slobberers who insist on compassion being shown to the muggers, to the dope fiends," he continued. "To the throat-slashers, to the beatniks. To the prostitutes. To the homosexuals. To the punks."
Canada's Supreme Court is that social slobberer.
But as we've seen in places like Chicago — which did away with the ShotSpotter program over racism concerns, only to allow dozens of black men to bleed out in the streets after being shot — Canada is incapable of protecting indigenous women from violent indigenous men. That's not justice.
That half of Canada's Supreme Court couldn't figure this out does not bode well for the nation, which seems determined to woke itself into destruction. We in America, who have our own pockets of this insanity can, however, watch and learn so we avoid the same mistakes.
