Maybe if we are to improve our justice system we have to start right at the top and remove the most useless link in the chain.........................our illustrious Prime Minister!

I hope they pay their own way.

If they want somebody to blame, it's the 3 who were rewarded with their freedom by the Crown for their testimony.

It was their testimony and the submitted evidence of their crime spree that set Mr Stanley free.

Our Justice Minister is walking a very fine line with her response to this verdict. To imply that somehow justice wasn't served in a court trial because she subjectively thinks that in improper verdict was reached by the jury is not only a serious threat to our justice system as a whole, but it may be also be actionable as a matter of interference. She would be wise to get some advice from council before outwardly showing contempt for a jury decision while sitting as Minister of Justice...or better yet, simply keep her mouth shut and her opinion to herself from here on in.

Maybe it will be paid from the $ 71k proceeds from the justice for Colton go fund me page

Where do I find the Justice for the guy who was almost robbed, Stanley and everybody that shared the road with someone multiple times over.08?

If you ask me I'm amazed they didn't end upside down in a slough with 4 dead.

I agree, what I find ironic all the uproar over Stanley's go fund me page, but not even peep about justice for Colton based on an admitted crime spree

Driving 200 kms on rural gravel roads, "target practice" with a rifle ,smashing out a car window and prying open a door with a loaded gun, all while blackout drunk ... all pretty good ways to kill yourself, your friends, or blow your head off. Then almost running over 2 members of the Stanley family while trying to flee from a botched robbery.

It seems the unfortunate outcome of this insanity was quite probably a best case scenario.

$90k in 2 days.
I read Stanley had to sell his farm.
Oh and no tears from anyone in government, not that he needs it.
He could use some help.

What about Stanley's family? Are they not culpable in the shooting by letting their hothead father have a loaded weapon?

Hotheaded? Really? I daresay that I hope you are never confronted with a bunch of drunken hooligans threatening your family, miles from help.

Do you honestly think that was an off the cuff remark?

Did it register with you at all that it was exactly what Mr Trudeau said from 5,000 miles away.

The Liberals decided that "we have to do better" would be the go-to apology.

It's the standard response now to things like sex assault. When organizations get asked how they can continue to shelter and enable abusers they all say "we have to do better".I belive Obama invented it.

It admits nothing.

Hotheaded? Really? I daresay that I hope you are never confronted with a bunch of drunken hooligans threatening your family, miles from help.
And I will be sorry because without a shotgun I will get abused?

This is the world the Ignore Listers live in.

These are the imaginary threats they see all around them.

Online video showing jury delivering Gerald Stanley verdict 'of grave concern,' says Sask. justice ministry

A video posted online Friday of a Saskatchewan jury delivering its not-guilty verdict in the Gerald Stanley trial has sparked "grave concern" in the provincial Ministry of Justice.
"The ministry is aware and is taking steps to address this," said Drew Wilby, a spokesperson for the ministry.
"It is of grave concern that someone would post this publicly. We have referred the matter to the RCMP."
Recording the Stanley trial was prohibited, as is the case in most Canadian trials.
Stanley, 56, was acquitted of responsibility in the shooting death of Colten Boushie after a tense two-week trial. Boushie, 22, was shot and killed after he and four others from the Red Pheasant Cree Nation drove onto Stanley's rural property in August 2016.
What happened on the Stanley farm the day Boushie was shot, as told by witnesses
The verdict immediately sparked strong reactions and inspired rallies in several Canadian cities over the weekend in support of the Boushie family.
'Justice for Colten': Hundreds gather for Boushie support rally in Saskatoon after Stanley not-guilty verdict
Video taken in public viewing room

The one-minute-and-13-second video was taken from a room reserved for the public on the ground floor of the Battleford Court of Queen's Bench, where the trial took place.
The room was equipped with TVs showing a live-feed of Chief Justice Martel Popescul, the lawyers arguing each side of the case, the public gallery and members of the 12-person jury.

And do the right thing and charge this person

Right now Saskatchewan has reaffirmed the tradition that it is ok for a white guy to shoot an indian by accident.

Unfortunately they have to do it in front of the entire world.

What a shame that justice can't just be dispensed in private (like the good old days...dam that Mandela)
