Alex Zoltan of True North reported on April 11, 2025 that an indigenous man found guilty of participating in the biggest fentanyl lab bust in Canadian history will seek a reduced sentence on ‘Gladue’ grounds.
“Justice”
HUNTER: Consequences an obscene word in youth justice world
The iron ore pellet rocketed from my slingshot, shattering the window of a K-Car being transported east by rail.
My friends and I split el pronto, fully aware there would be dire consequences if we were nabbed. And in the late 1970s, there would have been hell to pay — court, maybe reform school, and a very, very bad scene at home.
Today, “consequences” is not in the lexicon of aspiring underage criminals.
Where two-tier policing comes from
If any one body can be said to be at the heart of two-tier policing, it is surely the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC). This police watchdog is largely responsible for some of the most divisive policies in recent UK law enforcement. As a recently retired police officer, I am dismayed by the extent to which the watchdog’s activism has undermined public confidence in policing.
HUNTER: High-risk warnings don’t answer big question: Why are these guys out?
Dangerous offender Simon Gares is a prince of a man.
He goes to prison, comes out, breaches, returns to prison, and then, like a phoenix, soars back into our communities. Rinse and repeat.
Trump Ready to Enforce the Death Penalty
Unlike Biden, Trump recognizes that some villains don’t deserve mercy.
WASHINGTON — Luigi Mangione, the Ivy League graduate charged with fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a Manhattan sidewalk in December, has pleaded not guilty in connection with the killing. Like all defendants, Mangione enters the courtroom with the presumption of innocence. But if a jury finds him guilty of the capital murder of which he is accused, Mangione could be sentenced to the death penalty.
Justice is Dead: Canada and the UK Codify Racial Bias in Sentencing (Video)
Both the UK and Canada have now codified Orwellian “equity” policies that dismantle the principle of equal justice under the law. These policies ensure that racial, cultural, and religious minorities receive preferential treatment in sentencing—while White males are explicitly excluded from such leniency.

Toronto gunman’s sentence to no jail time ‘undermines our credibility,’ appeal judge warns in scathing dissent
A judge on Ontario’s top court has called out his colleagues for upholding a sentence of no jail time for a man who fired a shot during a chaotic gunfight next to Highway 401, expressing concern the decision “undermines our credibility.”
Court of Appeal Justice William Hourigan was dissenting in the case of Terrell Burke-Whittaker, who pleaded guilty to possession of a loaded prohibited firearm after he fired in the direction of the busy highway in June 2020, during a shootout involving multiple people at a viewing for slain Toronto rapper Houdini behind a North York bar.
New Sentencing Guidelines in England Could Lead to Harsher Penalties for White, Male Offenders Than Female, Minority Ones
A fight is brewing in England over new sentencing guidelines that require judges to consider a criminal’s ethnicity and faith before deciding whether to sentence them to jail. The guidelines, critics say, could lead to harsh punishments for Christians and white men, while women and ethnic minorities receive more leniency.
The fight began when the independent Sentencing Council for England and Wales released new guidelines this week ostensibly designed to counteract potential biases during the sentencing period. Under the new guidelines, set to take effect on April 1, it “will normally be considered necessary” for judges to obtain pre-sentencing reports for offenders to help determine their sentencing when the individual is from an ethnic, cultural, or faith minority.
Nothing undermines a society faster than the imposition of two tiered justice.
The ‘anti-racist’ state is a menace to equality
Who made Ibram X Kendi prime minister? Everywhere you look, the racialism perfected by America’s insufferable ‘anti-racists’ continues to wash over British institutions. These outrageous new sentencing guidelines are only the latest, most radioactive example.
The UK is turning into Canada!
OLDCORN: Freed in just one day? Alarming double standard favouring Alberta transgender ‘woman’ in child assault cases
It is difficult to ignore the difference in how three recent child assault cases have been handled by the Canadian courts.
On the one hand, two individuals remain or have been quickly placed in custody following alarming allegations of attempted murder of six-year-old children.
HUNTER: Canadian judiciary holds tight to hug-a-thug mentality
If many average Canadians think a large swath of our judiciary is out of touch, I give you B.C. Supreme Court Justice David Crossin.
The “learned” judge weighed in last week that a section of the Criminal Code was unconstitutional because, uh, it treats everyone convicted of first-degree murder the same.
New wrongful conviction review body could see hundreds of applications
OTTAWA – A new independent commission tasked by the federal government with reviewing miscarriages of justice could discover that more people than expected are serving prison sentences for crimes they didn’t commit.
Other countries that launched similar commissions have found that “the degree of wrongful convictions certainly was much more significant than they knew,” said Sen. Kim Pate, a prominent advocate for the wrongfully convicted.
“I suspect we will see much the same.”
Supreme Court Rejects Quebec Woman’s Attempt to Sue Comedian Who Mocked Her Son
Canada’s highest court has put an end to a 12-year legal saga that pitted comedian Mike Ward against the family of a disabled Quebec singer whom he mocked in his routines.
The Supreme Court of Canada today rejected a request to hear an appeal by Sylvie Gabriel, who had been seeking to reverse a lower court decision that dismissed her lawsuit seeking compensation from Ward over his mockery of her son, Jérémy Gabriel.
MANDEL: Could charge be stayed for girl in shocking swarming slaying?
As the second anniversary approaches of the vicious swarming death of Kenneth Lee, one of three girls who pleaded guilty to manslaughter is up on new charges in Peel.
But even the judge in the swarming case wasn’t told what they are.
Lucky for her, though, both the Crown and defence agree she should receive enhanced credit for the 93 days she spent in custody on those charges when Justice David Rose calculates how much, if any, time she should serve for her role in the senseless slaying of the homeless man shortly after midnight on Dec. 18, 2022.
