As has been pointed out.... Gladue is a principle to remind judges to consider race issues when sentencing, but it doesn't mean they have to sentence differently. Petros posted an article not long ago about first nations grandparents in Regina who were told 'tough luck' when they attempted to invoke their background at their trial for abusing their granddaughter. The Gladue principle does not stop judges from giving appropriate sentences, it does not stop judges from being the deciding factor.
Personally, I'd stay the hell away from a sentencning circle if convicted of a crime. They look at intent and circumstances first and foremeost. If I crossed the line my intent of doing harm would be full blown. They sentence by what their gut tells them not black and white like what a judge has to go by.
Whatever happened to the basic principles like Justice is Blind, and 'everyone is equal under the law'.
Ever loook at a statue of lady justice (the chick holding scales) she is blindfolded. This is so she cannot look at you and allow your age or race or gender to influence any decisions.

What happened is it became clear that judges aren't blind. They were less likely to give natives sentencing deals than they were people of their own skin colour.
Cultural sensitivity training as well as peer review of their decisions would have been better ways to deal with that issue.
That is an issue with the judges, not the law. The issue should have been addressed at the source of the problem. Fire a few judges and the rest will smarten up.
Look people, Justice has to be in the publics interest...
Look it up. I'm not here to educate the weak minded.
Gladue, is all about meeting the publics interests.
This comes from the theory behind sentencing, found in Section 218 of the CCoC.
If you can't wrap your heads around that, no one can help you.
Oh, did I mention I work with at risk Native youth, the bulk of which are in the court system, in one way or another, and Gladue is most definitely involved?
But it wasn't.
I tried in vain to reason with you, showed you countless factual documents, you ignored each and every one of them.
You're a hater. Only haters ignore reality, for their own perverse version.

It's a crime.
Gladue is still OK with me. I've seen it work way to well to think any differently.

I don't deal in maybe's.
Then start bitching about parental rights laws, youth justice laws, house arrest sentencing and so on.
I actually agree, if it were the first thing thrown out at you.

No, you can't. You hate to much.
But you do it so well.
You tell us, you hate Jews.
I appreciate that.
Nope, but it is an excellent example of an internet bully, lol.
Healing Circles are not the only part of a Gladue process. This is the second time you've been told that.
Only if you're retarded.
No it doesn't, lol.
That is exactly what happens in the Justice system, everyones past is considered.
That's good, because this isn't a parallel justice system. You should read more, since you have no idea what you're talking about, lol.
It does.
It also won't stop the misinformed from making things up as they go along.
Some people can't see the forests for the trees, lol.

I know it is almost impossible to fire a judge under the current system. I don't think that is how it should be. I'm not saying let them go for a single complaint or even a couple over the years. People who are found guilty are usually unhappy. But if he/she ceives multiple complaints of racial bias of ***ual bias etc that can prove a pattern then their a$$ should be in the big chair.
