The audacity of Stockwell Day to quote "[that he ]will consider the findings of Sapers' report...[and then says that]...there is no evidence of systemic discrimination against native offenders in the prison system."
Well Mr. Day, the evidence is in the report itself, in the federal statistics regarding the federal prison system, and in the systemic nature of the Canadian racial legislative system of the Indian Act, the deploring justice institutions, and the systemic nature of a colonial mindset which has existed for the last two hundred years, and then some.Get your head out of the sand Stockwell Day, and do something good for a change.
