Tory ‘tough on crime’ rhetoric only tough on Black, Indigenous Canadians
- Thread starter mentalfloss
- Start date
Terrible food and that peat bog in a glass they call 'Guinness'.
The report starts by stating that Canada’s criminal justice system was never meant to serve black Canadians but to harm them. When that’s the starting point, you know the report you are about to read is coming with a heavy political bias.
(Does this not look like a racist timebomb Trudeau is planting so that, when his party is utterly destroyed next Fall, and this needs to be taken away…he could shake his finger and huff & puff about the adults, treating everybody like equals?)
Jamil Jivani, Conservative MP for Durham, a lawyer and a Black man, is quite vocal in opposing the recommendations of this strategy.
“The main problem with this Black justice strategy is that it’s only exacerbating the bad policies that the Liberal government has already brought in, and at a time where crime is going up, and Black Canadians are suffering from that increase in crime,” Jivani said in an interview on Tuesday.
Jivani calls the policies in the publication radical and is calling on the Liberal government to reject the proposals. If you read it for yourself, it will be clear that this is a highly political document pushing a radical agenda.
On page 39 the report calls for the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act to be amended, “to remove all criminal penalties for possession offences of up to a 30-day supply of a controlled substance.” On the same page, the report calls for dropping whether a firearm was used or the severity of the crime at hand as a reason in determining whether bail should be granted.
Time and again, this report calls for bail to be made easier to obtain even though under the Trudeau Liberals it is the default option in all but the most extreme exceptions. That they want bail made easier to get is due to the philosophy the authors approach the criminal justice system with, it isn’t about race.
“The reality is as a Black Canadian, as a Black man, it is especially frustrating that these very radical, harmful policies are being recommended as if they’re good for Black Canadians,” Jivani said.
“When over one out of 10, over 13% of homicide victims in Canada are Black men and Black women and the idea that you would make crime worse and say that it’s good for Black people is insane.”
On the issue of sentencing, the report calls for the elimination of all mandatory minimum sentences and making conditional sentences available for all offences — that would include murder. The ultimate goal of the report is to bring about changes that make sure as few people as possible go to jail in Canada and that those already in jail are let out.
“Canada must aim to reduce the overall current rate of persons incarcerated relative to the population by 30% by 2034, and given levels of overrepresentation, incarceration rates for Black and Indigenous people must be reduced by 50% of the current rate, relative to their proportion of the population, in this time,” the report states.
Jivani points out that the push for reducing the prison population fails to consider the severity of the crimes committed or whether those involved are repeat offenders.
The authors of this report are all accomplished people with impressive resumes, yet they are clearly and heavily political all at the same time.
Taking far-left political theory and repackaging it as racial justice doesn’t mean that it’s still not far-left political theory. The authors, though, have made clear they don’t accept any criticisms.

Zilla Jones, a lawyer and one of the lead authors of the report, replied to Jivani’s criticism on X by saying her goal with this report was to change discussions about crime away from the conservative point of view.
“This is one goal of Canada’s Black Justice Strategy — to transform the conversation around the justice system from being held hostage to small-c conservative talking points people repeat without thinking, such as those below, to one that actually responds to public safety needs,” Jones said.
It’s a nice summary of her view of the current judicial system, held hostage to conservative viewpoints which are held by people who don’t think. Read her statement and tell me that this report isn’t primarily about politics.
That’s why we can expect the Liberal government to not only accept this report but embrace it and implement the policies. They are all about the politics, even if that means bad policies.

The report starts by stating that Canada’s criminal justice system was never meant to serve black Canadians but to harm them. When that’s the starting point, you know the report you are about to read is coming with a heavy political bias.
Last week the federal Department of Justice published A Roadmap for Transformative Change: Canada’s Black Justice Strategy. It amounts to a rehashing of far-left ideology on justice issues dressed up in the clothing of racial justice and equality.

MANDEL: Toronto cop frustrated by 'rinse and repeat' justice — Toronto Sun
He’s a longtime Toronto cop weary of butting his head against the wall of a broken bail system. Every single day, he says, he’s chasing down someone who is breaching their release conditions. “It’s kind of ridiculous,” sighs the officer, who asked that his name not be used. “You just feel...
MANDEL: Why was he free? Convicted sexual offender on bail strikes again — Toronto Sun
It is yet another case of bail ending badly. Yet another episode of a man who should have been locked up who was instead free to attack again — this time in what a judge would describe as a “terrifying sexual assault committed against a vulnerable woman in her own home.” On May 30, 2021, Cody...
This isn’t a race thing, or just a crime thing, but a multi-tiered Justice thing that the current government is trying to sell to the public…. So that in less than 470 days… it can point the finger at the adults in the room that have to roll back this bullshit.
I'd still ban hip hop.

Criminals running lose require more social workers than criminals in jail. The best way to lower the jail population is to educate criminals so they don’t get caught as often.View attachment 23069

According to GC Canada (whateverthefuck that is), as of 2018, the cost of incarceration was CA$114,587 per year, with 96% of those costs attributable to incarceration. How much per client do social workers cost?
It depends. In many depts provincial workers tend to get paid more than their federal counterparts. At least in my province anyway. But a top end social worker in Canada earns as much as $48/hr. So I'd estimate the cost to be at least $20,000/yr less than incarceration. But then I'd be hesitant to put a violent criminal in the "care" of a social worker. ODCs sure, but not violent criminals.
Me wife worked the forensic unit for 2 years. Yes they sure as shit do put violent criminals in the care of social workers as part of the team.
Take everything youve seen on drama TV or rumours and chuck it out the window. Very very few criminal patients are locked up in a rubber room and zombified.
The biggest part of the treatment is routine. They are kept busy all day with therapy be it physical, recreation or cognitive. None of those professionals make even close to $48. Shitty CUPE rates apply.
