Too many Black and Indigenous people are in prison. Researchers say mandatory minimum sentences are part of the problem
The federal government’s criminal justice reform bill has generally been described as a good first step in tackling the overrepresentation of Indigenous and Black people in the justice system.
But it’s also sparked the question: Why not go even further with Bill C-22?
The bill would repeal mandatory minimum penalties for all drug offences and some firearm offences, expand the use of conditional sentences such as house arrest, and urge police and prosecutors to use discretion in order to keep drug possession cases out of the justice system.

Canadian MP Jagmeet Singh’s co-brother Jodhveer Dhaliwal seen leading attacks against Indian diaspora during ‘Tiranga-Maple’ rally
On Monday, members of the Indian diaspora residing in Canada had organised a tiranga (tricolour) and Maple Car rally in Brampton to celebrate India-Canada ties. More than 100 cars had participated in the rally carrying flags of India and Canada on their vehicles.
Amidst all the positivity shown during the rally, the intrusion by pro-Khalistani elements became a significant problem as they not only abused the attendees and jammed traffic but also assaulted them for praising India. The car rally by the Indian diaspora did not go down well with pro-Khalistani supporters, who bullied people of Indian origin and abused them.

BUSTED: NY Gov. Cuomo’s Deadly Nursing Home Scandal is Now Going to the Next Level
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo refuses to resign. But a damning new report is going to put more pressure on New York legislators to do something about the governor or risk looking complicit in a major scandal that is now being raised to the next level.
