I’ll bet that 99% of Canadians have no idea that this is how their justice system now works. I didn’t.
There’s a role for compassionate justice in any system but it shouldn’t be based on race. But *anyone* who commits a hit and run causing death belongs in jail.

I'll bet that 99% of Canadians also didn't know that their government killed more than 10,000 people in 2021 through assisted suicides. I wonder how long the US would have to execute criminals at its current rate to catch up with that number?
The considerable majority of those patients were stage IV near death cancer patients. Most Canadians are very comfortable with that - as am I. The government is opening up MAID to mentally ill people though - and people are uncomfortable with that. As am I. There is a middle ground - and I find too many people choose one side or the other - and demonize the middle compromise position.
Those of us that pay attention know it does. But it's basically buried in the news here. And too many Canadians don't want to think about it. And the young basically seem to be on board with the crazy train - or do so because they are so afraid of being labelled racist.
I always had a vague impression of Canada being polite and generally sensible. It frightens me to see it take a sudden sharp turn into insanity- emergency powers to shut down actually peaceful protests, assisted suicide for the mentally ill and "mature minors," and now this explicit racism in the justice system. I find it hard to believe that most or even many of them are ok with all that. Do they not know, not care, or are they afraid to be the first to speak up? Can they do anything about it now? The thought crosses my mind that the latest attempt there at mass gun confiscation is at least partly intended to make sure that the people just have to sit there and take it.
agreed, there can be a consideration for mitigating factors for anyone who is "forced" into committing a crime, especially non-violent.
and like you, i worry that this is going too far. there is no excuse for allowing someone who fell asleep at the wheel and ran someone over to claim that "racism" made him drive away and hide from the police.

Leftism is nothing less than a death-cult.

Well said.
