MEDIA HEADLINE SOMEWHAT DECEIVING



The headline I'm referring to is from the Waterloo Region Record two days ago. It's title was "Ontario has "most improved" justice system. The sub-title was "Canada has a whole saw drop in crime rates, fewer police officers required per capita and rising support for legal aid". The problem is that the second annual justice system report card from the Macdonald-Laurier Institute is by no means that optimistic.

Yes Ontario has risen from seventh place in Canada to fourth place however the sub-title is even more deceptive in that the newspaper article about this report by Gordon Omand of the Hamilton Spectator states that the good news is "...overshadowed by an increase in costs, lengthier court delays and the persistent over-representation of Indigenous people in prison...".

There are also concerns and gaps regarding public confidence in both the justice system across Canada as well as a lack of public confidence in various police forces. generally speaking Manitoba comes off as particularly bad in a number of criteria.

Reforms are necessary according to the Macdonald-Laurier Institute "...to make our criminal justice system more efficient, fairer and better serve the needs of victims".

    Verry deceiving ,saying slight drop in crime rate ,fewer officers needed but a increase in legal aid . Common sence says if there's less crime n and less officers needed why is there a increase to legal aid funding,if crime rates dropping.No doubt BC our westcoast ,Quebec and the east coast have low ratings that's were most of the importing of drugs from ships come in ,means more corruption with bikers mafia and police.Its only common police in Saskatchewan are predjuduce towards natives has highest rate for natives in jail witch clearly shows they don't hesitate to arrest natives,aswell as don't investigate native murders properly aswell as to quick to rule 7 natives found dead in water accidental drowning due to drinking.That stinks of bull crap same as the report card .Simular to BruceMcarther (serial killer on loose)police had more then dozen missing)Never thought there was a serial killer loose in toronto.Maybe if 7 white people were found dead in rivers or 7 ladies found dead in Saskatchewan MAYBE then police would rule it as atleast suspicious and investigate.But natives in western provinces dont have a right yo life like in ontario.Report says more investment needed from government to do a proper report.I think if they read the news more they wouldn't need more funding to tell us how corrupt the police are and how obvious how they treat natives out west.A natives out west can be shot and killed out west just got to say was self defence In ontario you shoot and kill some one self defence you're charged with murder and labeled a murder imediately aswell as go to jail imediately UNLESS you're a police officer who can shoot and kill who they please all they have to say is I feared for my life or public saftey..99% citizens murdered by police get off .So I don't know how they can say in Canada we have equal rights for every canadain when laws change province to province.Depending on witch province you live in you may have a right to life.Major overhaul is needed to make laws equal for every province so canadain human right are equal for every canadain
    Presently no canadain has Equal right to life.Only police have a right to life in every province not citizens.The reports a waist of time and funding until equal rights and laws are equal for every canadain.I read governments. Giving 2 billion for road repairs to Quebec. I Hope every province gets 2 billion for road repairs.Thats not fare to other provinces.You would think now that our government is becoming the biggest pot growers becoming the biggest organized gang for growing and distribution of drugs before it's totally legal they would be a little more fare with giving back to the community.Just stinks how the government isn't going yo make it legal to grow you're own till October end of growing season so we're forced to buy there's. Yet they can't afford to fund homeless people, help them atleast eat so they can freeze to death with a full stomach in Canada No such thing as equal rights in Canada and until laws are equal for every canadain they shouldn't give away millions on studies use that to change laws so every canadain can be equal.Then read complaints from citizens it's just waisting money and resorces telling us what we already know.Our governments corrupt our police are corrupt and nobody has Equal rights or equal civil rights in Canada.Or equal right to life in Canada. I think the government and health care should warn canadains before they legalize marijuana if you smoke pot you can't get a lung transplant in Canada as a native who doesn't smoke cigarettes never did but smokes pot was died a lung transplant because he smokes pot witch is now medical.So the government needs to address health care Canada and put a couple billion that way for future medical bills
