Jamie Sarkonak: Toddler’s bathtub drowning partly the fault of racism, says Ontario judge

When a Jamaican-Canadian woman was tried for manslaughter — specifically, for leaving her 15-month-old son alone in a full bathtub for 10 minutes, causing him to drown — her judge had to ponder a question now standard in our country’s courtrooms: did systemic racism play a role in the crime?

Justice Jane Kelly of Ontario’s superior court answered “yes.” In her Jan. 8 decision, she included that as a mitigating factor that lightened, to some extent, mother Tajah Henry’s prison sentence of three years.

There is no bottom to anti-White hatred in Canada.
