KLEIN: Is Canada dividing itself with race-based sentencing?

A Calgary man sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl, terrorized her with threats, and left scars that will last a lifetime. The Crown sought 10 years behind bars. The judge agreed the sentence was fitting. But then came the caveat: “But for his Gladue factors, I would have imposed the sentence sought by the Crown.” And just like that, two years were knocked off.

FBI fires agents who kneeled during George Floyd “social justice” farce

The FBI has fired agents who were photographed kneeling during a racial justice protest in Washington DC that followed the 2020 murder of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers, three people familiar with the matter told the Associated Press on Friday.

The bureau last spring had reassigned the agents but has since fired them, said the people, who insisted on anonymity to discuss personnel matters with the AP.

The number of FBI employees terminated was not immediately clear, but two people said it was roughly 20.

This woman claims Air Canada discriminated against her in a case of ‘flying while Black.’ Now her human rights complaint could set a precedent

Months after a knee surgery, June Francis booked a business-class flight from Vancouver for a conference in Toronto, the first leg of a work trip that would also include the U.S. and Peru.

Having waited in the “exceptionally long line” at check-in for business passengers, the 62-year-old Jamaican Canadian said she approached the economy area and attempted to ask an Air Canada staffer for help, out of concern about standing too long on her replaced knees.

But what happened next would lead to a complaint that is believed to be the first case of “flying while Black” that reaches a full hearing before the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal.

What about the “Systemic” commission of crime by the usual suspects?

Judge tosses seized gun over racial profiling of Black driver, cites ‘systemic’ problem inside Peel police

A Peel Regional Police officer engaged in the racial profiling of a Black motorist in an example of a “systemic” problem within the service, a judge has ruled.

The case, which resulted in the unravelling of a firearms prosecution, adds to a list of similar incidents that demonstrate a “systemic and intractable problem” within the police service, Superior Court Justice Renu Mandhane said in a sharply worded ruling that excluded a rifle discovered in an unlawful search of a Jeep driven by a Black man.

Const. Anand Gandhi stopped the Jeep in Brampton on a Sunday afternoon in October 2023 after an automated licence plate reader on his cruiser detected that the owner of the Jeep was facing drug charges in Toronto and was under a licence suspension for medical and administrative reasons.

Woke Justice at Its Most Horrifying — the Ahmaud Arbery Case

The McMichaels, accused of murdering Arbery, were unlucky enough to have entered the portal of woke justice when BLM was in its ascendancy.

“Ahmaud Arbery was murdered,” said Judge Timothy Walmsley with the solemnity befitting the Chatham County Superior Court in Brunswick, Georgia.

“A resident of Glynn County, a graduate of Brunswick High, a son, a brother, a young man with dreams was gunned down in this community,” Walmsley continued. “As we understand it, he left his home apparently to go for a run and he ended up running for his life.”

So saying, Walmsley summed up what the jury was allowed to know about Arbery, 25, at the time of his February 2020 death in the coastal community of Satilla Shores, Georgia. Either out of fear or ambition or some combination of the two, Walmsley had grossly misrepresented the reality of Arbery’s troubled life and death to justify the draconian sentences he was about to hand down to the men who “murdered” him — Greg McMichael, then 64, his son Travis, 34, and their neighbor Roddie Bryan, 50 .

Unknown to the jurors, America was entering its 10th year in the era of woke justice, an all but unremarked break from the leftist past. Historically, to highlight racial injustice, real or imagined, leftists had made a practice of romanticizing the guilty — Sacco and Vanzetti, Leonard Peltier, Mumia Abu-Jamal etc. — and proclaiming their innocence.

What I Saw at the Daniel Penny Trial

November 1, 2024. It’s 70 degrees in Manhattan—and getting warmer. A drought has set in since summer; the downtown breeze feels less like an East River gust than a Santa Ana wind.

On the 13th floor of Manhattan’s criminal court, at 100 Centre Street, Judge Maxwell Wiley’s courtroom is stagnantly hot. Chants from outside are audible through an open window, as Daniel Penny, the defendant in this manslaughter case, on trial for allegedly killing Jordan Neely on the subway in spring 2023, enters the building: “Daniel Penny has got to pay!” As the protesters disperse following their morning session, jackhammers from New York’s progressive public works project—demolishing the Manhattan jail to make room for a citywide jail system that can hold far fewer inmates, even as the number of inmates rises—compete with courtroom voices.

A judge stuck his neck out for an aspiring Toronto rapper who was just getting his life together. Did he rob a jewelry store just days later?

“I am satisfied that he is completely reformed,” Code wrote in his decision, which took effect on Oct. 24, 2023.

In court on Friday, Code ruefully revisited those words, finding that the 29-year-old Collins was most likely involved in a downtown Toronto armed robbery that took place just days after his sentence had started.

Church of England denies ‘racial justice’ campaign will alienate faithful

Some have complained that in pushing for more diversity the church is getting unnecessarily involved in US-style culture wars

Helter Skelter at Church of England

Church leaders have defended the appointment of “racial justice enablers” tasked with addressing “white fragility” after being accused of potentially alienating ordinary worshippers with the plans.

A number of Church of England dioceses have appointed individuals or teams to address racial inequality in their regions. In Birmingham, an anti-racism practice officer has been tasked with “deconstructing whiteness” in the West Midlands.

Race and punishment: truth over facts

It’s an article of faith among Democrats/socialists/communists (D/s/cs) that minorities, particularly black people, are far more harshly treated by the Criminal Justice System than whites. The “evidence” usually cited for this, apart from “because we say so,” or “experts say,” is disparate impact. If black people are arrested and convicted in greater numbers than their percentage of the population, that’s prima facie evidence of racism and disparate impact. Why else could so many black people become “justice system-involved individuals?”

Jail, but Only for White Men

UK Sentencing Council urges lenience for certain demographic groups, not others.

Even if (like me) you know precious little about the law, the chances are you know one thing: Lady Justice is supposed to be blind. Equality before the law is a cornerstone of any functioning democracy, and is vital for social cohesion. Despite what we may have witnessed playing out on the streets of London recently (alongside the reasonable accusations of two-tier policing), it is vital that no group is privileged in the eyes of the law. That, however, could all be about to change.

Secretly The Star Wishes That The White Woman Who Was Pistol Whipped Could Be Charged With A Hate Crime

‘Pistol-whipping a white woman’: Ontario judge who made ‘racist, xenophobic’ comments is reprimanded in secret

“You can’t see why people wouldn’t think you’d be a disgusting human being to be involved in a robbery that involved pistol-whipping a white woman,” the judge said in court when sentencing a 15-year-old offender, who had pleaded guilty to robbery.

“You know, this is the very thing that triggers emotions in people that see a problem with immigration. They sit there and think, ‘Wait a minute. What are we doing allowing these folks to come into our country and cause this kind of mayhem to citizens of our community?’”


The Horror!

Questioning immigrant violence!

The nerve of that woman calling police, she should be charged with a hate crime!

This is not “justice” it is the soft racism of lower expectations.

New Jersey educator passed over for 45 promotions because he’s white, he claims in lawsuit

A New Jersey educator was passed over for nearly four dozen promotions because he is white, he claims in an explosive new lawsuit.

Thomas F. Franco alleges the Paterson, NJ school district won’t promote him to an administrative position solely because of his skin color, according to the discrimination lawsuit filed last month.

The 58-year-old Ringwood resident contends he’s applied for “more than 45 positions” since he was hired in 2016, and has only been interviewed once.

Much “Thinner” cases have been won by the other side.

Rasmussen Poll: 72% of U.S. Adults Say It’s ‘OK to be White’

Nearly three in four U.S. adults agree that “It’s okay to be white,” results of a new Rasmussen survey reveal.

In a survey of 1,000 American adults, conducted February 13-15, Rasmussen asked:

“Do you agree or disagree with this statement: ‘It’s OK to be white.’”


The race hustlers will continue to push for a new segregation of safe spaces for the racialized, what they’ll end up with is not the progressive paradise of their imagination.

The current progressive anti-white hysteria will damage Blacks far more than any other racial group and far more than the KKK could ever hope to accomplish.

A quiet but massive withdrawal of support, empathy and interaction will be the hallmarks of this new segregation.

Put a rush on those healing lodges …

Accused OPP shooter was out on bail due to Indigenous identity

A man who is accused of killing an Ontario Provincial Police officer while out on bail for previous alleged violent offences had been set free from jail primarily because he is Indigenous, a transcript of his bail review hearing shows.

Federal law requires judges to pay particular attention to the circumstances of Indigenous offenders at sentencing, in an attempt to reduce disproportionate rates of incarceration among Indigenous peoples. The Supreme Court and other courts have extended that principle to bail and other court proceedings.
