How prevalent is racism (and misogyny) among Canadian lawyers & judges?
“Rule of Law” or “Rich White Man Law?”
Emmett Macfarlane@EmmMacfarlane Poli Sci Prof, UWaterloo:
Law is politics people. Never forget.
All Supreme Court of Canada appointments to date:
88 men (87 White; 1 non White)
10 White women
0 Indigenous
Did Justin Trudeau mandate that new Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) judges must be fluent in French to prevent Indigenous representation on our top court? To begin reconciliation, why not mandate that every third new SCC judge be fluent in one of the 70 aboriginal languages in Canada instead? French and English are colonizing languages.
Canada’s racist legal industry rots & lies on: Alberta lawyer Leighton Grey (posted Black Lives Matter ‘leftist lie’ video), resigns. Picked by racist Kenney’s racist UCP to be on racist committee to pick racist judges? Grey was lawyer for Clayton Boucher, imprisoned after racist RCMP found baking soda in his home.

Baking soda? Frac! Dirty lawyers (become dirtier judges?), dirty prosecutors and dirty RCMP abound. A disgusting horrifying read. Rotten lawyers know law societies serve their own, like AER serves polluters that pay AER’s way.
An excellent example of how Rich White Man Law works: 2020: Louisiana Supreme Court upholds Black man’s life sentence for trying to steal hedge clippers more than 20 years ago
Brad Mielke@TheBradMielke Nov 24, 2021:
Now that a verdict is in: important thing to remember today is that Ahmaud Arbery was dead for two months [reportedly 74 days] before anyone in the justice system decided to charge his killers with any crime, let alone murder.
C.H.O.A.M. Gang@TrentRTownsend Replying to @TheBradMielke and @nycsouthpaw :
Worse than that, the original prosecutor was helping the murderers try and cover the whole thing up
Superjaded@Superjaded4 Replying to @TrentRTownsend @TheBradMielke and @nycsouthpaw :
Yup, and she has been indicted for her part.
2021 09 08: Former district attorney arrested after indictment in connection with Ahmaud Arbery investigation
Pressburger Powell@pressburgerpowe Replying to @TheBradMielke :
“Racism infected every aspect of this case from the defendants’ racial profiling of Arbery, to the 10-week delay in filing charges, to seating a nearly all-white jury, to the defendants’ racist statements, to the defense’s attempt to ban Black pastors from attending the trial.”

Do you want fairness, equality, diversity, inclusion in Canada’s legal profession? In 2019, 85% of the legal profession in USA is white and mostly male. No wonder so many sexual assault victims are re-victimized in court by judges and known convicted pedophiles are granted licence to practice law!
Gillian Hnatiw, Canadian lawyer, female: “Fundamentally, the law is about power – who has it, who gets it, and how they are allowed to wield it. … Yet evidence of misogyny remains all around us. Lest anyone forget, there is a self-confessed sexual predator in the White House. … In Canada, we’re not faring a whole lot better…. All of our political leaders are men .”
See any women there? Canada’s Prime Minister is a white male too.
Guess who appoints our judges in Canada.
Politicians, mostly old white men, which is why our judges are mostly old white men.
Caveman Canada brutalizing women, yet again.
Catherine Mitchell@CathMitch14 Nov 2 : I imagine #patriarchy is largely abstract for most men. You don’t see it if you are inside the edifice looking out.
Caveman Canada hits a sexual assault victim again, to protect our perverted legal system. Sara Casselman: “This is our justice system folks. A survivor in our community was fined yesterday for sharing a transcript of the judge’s ruling *in her favour* with her friends and family.”
“It’s the judges!” enabling rape and murder of women. No kidding. In Canada too.
“Nothing says diversity like eight white guys sitting round a table.” So many racist misogynistic Canadian old white men in positions of power enabling rape of women, children, communities, drinking water and our environment.
Why wasn’t Nova Scotia legal profession’s most infamous sexual predator and Premier, Gerald Regan, disbarred? Simple: 1) He was a white man in Caveman Canada; 2) He was a lawyer in Caveman Canada; 3) He was in a position of power in Caveman Canada; 4) “Justice” is not available for raped women (or the environment) in Caveman Canada, just expensive lawyers.

If rape-enabling shit sits atop the judicial industry, what runs through it?

Baking soda? Frac! Dirty lawyers (become dirtier judges?), dirty prosecutors and dirty RCMP abound. A disgusting horrifying read. I know from experience how terrible it is to be stabbed in the back by one’s own lawyers (in my case, Murray Klippenstein and Cory Wanless), after paying them a fortune. Rotten lawyers know law societies serve their own, like AER serves polluters that pay AER’s way.
Industry’s and misogyny’s loyal Royal Canadian Mounted Police (Terrorists?): “Screw the Rule of Law”
A bright light in Caveman Canada’s racist legal industry. Legal scholar Joshua Sealy-Harrington to teach at X ULaw: “The law is a powerful mediator and site of white supremacy and colonialism.”
