Canadian Commission on Murdered Indian Women Gets One Thing Right

Commissioner Robinson of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls said that in some instances, the 'Gladue' principle is 'resulting in violence against Indigenous women' by affording lighter sentences to those who hurt them. She was blaming the Canadian Government and the Supreme Court of Canada for the decision to grant inappropriate and uncalled-for leniency to convicted Indians merely because of their ethnic or racial origins.

This writer and others have criticized the misled, delusional and politically motivated Commission members for its unfounded and inappropriate condemnation and accusations against all Canadian males of  'genocide', including many immigrants who had and have nothing whatsoever to do with the problem.

I guess that the Commission's ideas are not all completely haywire, as one would gather from their unfounded accusations of 'genocide' against all Canadians, even those who are recent immigrants.  Just as they went off the rails with that zinger, the Supreme Court of Canada, in the Gladue case, also went off the rails.  Basing judgments about such important matters on political prejudices and dogma, as both have done, ignoring facts and reality in favour of a desire for a certain outcome, always leads to absurdities.  Even the Commission members were able to recognize that when it suited their narrative.  Of course, it is well known that Indian (Indigenous) men have been and are victimizing their women, and it is likely that more than 50% of the violence and murders came from that cohort.  I suggest such violence it is more a part of their culture than it is of the culture of Canadian men in general.  In fact, culture has little to do with the violence of non-Indian men who commit such violence.  It is much more likely is a result of innate sociopathic and/or psychopathic tendencies among such men, which may also be the problem affecting many Indian males.  The Gladue decision has resulted in inadequate sentencing of Indian men for their crimes based on nothing more than a form of racism in reverse. The upshot is that Indian offenders have been literally handed an opportunity by Canada's top court to commit more crimes against Indian women.
