The plight of Indigenous Women in Canada is such a perfect example of how modern Leftist thought has no ability to think past 1st order effects and why its all about feeling virtuous over actually solving problems. We often hear about "murdered and missing indigenous women" and how they get killed at much higher rates than other Canadians, and that these women rarely get justice. The subtext is always that, somehow, the reason for this injustice is some mix of "colonization", "the patriarchy " or "white supremacy". We often hear how bad society is because of this, and how we need to "do better", "check our privilege", and that this is somehow a failing of all of society. Now at the same time, there has long been a push to address indigenous overrepresenation in prisons, and the solution the Leftists have landed on is the Gladue Rule becoming embedded in the justice system, which requires the court to consider the effects of residential schooling, racism and other factors when deciding sentencing on indigenous ppl found guilty of crimes. In theory, this could be considered an admirable attempt. In practice, what it means is simply that indigenous ppl who commit crimes will almost always be sentenced to significantly less time than anyone else. But heres the kicker; between 70-80% of murdered and missing indigenous women are killed by Indigenous men. And then these men are giving ridiculously light sentencing BECAUSE they're indigenous, denying the victims justice. The Crown in this story asked for 16 years for this man shooting his wife in her sleep. He was given 6 years, he'll serve 3. So the injustice against Indigenous women is in large part CAUSED by Leftist attempt to address it. Its a classic example of modern Leftism being so far up their own asses they're pontificating to the rest of society about a problem that THEY THEMSELVES are causing. Modern Leftism is not capable of solving actual social problems, it's simply a way for privileged bourgeoisie white liberals to virtue signal about their moral goodness at cocktail parties while the marginalized ppl they claim to champion continue to bear the brunt of their shallow and superficial political activism.

Less than 24 hours after the close of the proceeding, Justice Leonard issued her decision, stating: “To be clear, the Court is not staying the collection of signatures; this decision has no impact whatsoever on the signature collection period or when that period expires... Specifically, the Chief Electoral Officer shall not certify the petition results or make a referral to the Minister of Justice until the Court has ruled on the Applications by ACN and the Blackfoot Nations.” If there is no harm in gathering signatures, what is the harm in verifying them or transmitting the results to the Legislature? In effect, the decision halts the communication of the democratic will of citizens to their elected representatives. How does that strengthen, or even preserve, the integrity of our democratic process? And it doesn’t take into consideration the canvassers, those standing in the cold for hours and engaged their fellow citizens in a lawful democratic exercise, only to be told that their work cannot be formally recognized or conveyed. If participation is permitted, but the outcome cannot be communicated, what exactly is the process meant to achieve and who does that ultimately serve?
