Bronwyn Eyre: The ‘Gladue principle’ has caused immense harm to Indigenous women

A recent Investigative Journalism Bureau article, which appeared in the National Post, reiterated what we have long known: in Canada, Indigenous women are killed at a much higher rate — tragically, six-times higher — than non-Indigenous women.

The article quoted experts who blame the Canadian justice system for failing Indigenous women. They note that those found guilty of their abuse or murder generally face less serious sentences than perpetrators of crimes committed against non-Indigenous women.

The Kill Switch Society

Increasingly, automobiles, once tools to facilitate individual independence, have been repurposed into systems of monitoring and control.

There was a time — not very long ago — when the automobile represented one of the clearest expressions of individual choice in a free society. Limited only by fuel, roads, and imagination, a person could choose where to go, when to go, and how to get there. The car was not merely a machine. It was mobility made personal — an extension of autonomy and freedom.

Beijing’s “Two-State” Strategy Targets Indigenous Land Claims and Resources to Undermine Canada’s National Sovereignty, and Mark Carney’s PRC Pivot Makes It More Dangerous

VANCOUVER — At a moment when Canada is reassessing its economic sovereignty and Prime Minister Mark Carney is charting what he describes as a deeper strategic partnership with China, a long-running but poorly understood vulnerability is quietly advancing — one that cuts across the most sensitive fault lines in Canadian public life: Indigenous land rights, natural resource development, and Beijing’s patient, methodical campaign to secure the commodities it needs without ever having to negotiate with Ottawa.

The strategy, as intelligence documents obtained exclusively by The Bureau reveal, is not new. It is simply becoming more consequential.

Can Artificial Intelligence Fix Social Science?

Artificial intelligence can do many of the things that social scientists do. It can analyze data, write and review code, identify appropriate statistical methods, and offer suggestions on study drafts. It can even take a dataset and a research question and produce an entire paper on its own. Given that human-led social science is often marred by mistakes, dubious methods, ideological bias, and even outright fraud, one can hope that AI will improve the field in the years ahead.

Some recent studies, though, highlight the limitations of current models. For now, AI is a productivity- and quality-enhancing tool, but not a panacea for what ails social science, nor a reason to let one’s guard down.

AI is easily enough co-opted by the left to suit any “studies” faculty.
