Cindy Blackstock on Clash Actions Podcast Episode · Warrior Life · April 17 · 1h 11m

Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social,

Do you believe class action lawsuits are fair for some First Nations cases?

Are class action lawsuits geared towards small cases or “mega” cases?

Judge says 'colonization' a reason Indigenous man gets reduced sentence for choking a toddler A 33-year-old B.C. man of Indigenous descent was sentenced to six months in prison for choking and kicking his ex-girlfriend's toddler son.

Not one, but two physical assaults against a two year-old toddler, and he skates away with minimal consequences because of "colonization".

Isn't justice supposed to be blind? Isn't the law supposed to be applied impartially?

Canada's two-tier justice system at work folks.
