I’m in total awe of my colleague ⁦@robinparker_law⁩ who took this experience and channeled it into her efforts to bring our “Justice” system closer to meaningful Justice. Let’s hope that the system listens. thestar.com/news/gta/2023/…

“Canada has dramatically increased its use of pretrial detention, with a 400-per-cent rise in the number of prisoners in remand since the late 1970s. But we are almost certainly not safer. Instead, we are filling our detention centres with more and more non-violent offenders….”

This case highlights major issues with our system of police oversight. As I told the @TorontoStar: “Allowing the investigation to be conducted by the police service internally really undermines any trust that the public has in the police watchdog." thestar.com/news/gta/2022/…


Well done @LauraMetcalfe23!

A PSA for Ontarians that since 2018, conditional and absolute discharges should not be disclosed on standard criminal records checks, and employers should not seek enhanced records checks unless necessary. Let’s try to take rehabilitation seriously, for everyone’s sake.
