Canada’s Trudeau Slammed Over “Black Justice” Proposal That Would Decriminalize Drugs, Empty Jails<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is being slammed by conservatives over recommendations he seeks to implement from a\u00a0standing committee on \u201cblack justice” in Canada.<\/p>\n

The proposal will make crime worse in Canada, conservatives led by MP Jamil Jivani have argued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jivani challenged Liberal Diversity Minister Kamal Khera at a heritage committee meeting over the recommendations in “A Roadmap for Transformative Change: Canada\u2019s Black Justice Strategy”<\/em>, according to True North<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jivani criticized the proposals as “radical,” citing calls for a 30% reduction in incarceration over 10 years, decriminalizing a 30-day supply of hard drugs like cocaine, heroin, and meth, and cutting 25% of federal grants to police departments.<\/p>\n

Jivani accused Khera of being the “DEI Minister” and asked if she supported such\u00a0\u201cradical criminal justice policies\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Khera responded: \u201cIt would only be a Conservative that would be making a joke out of systemic racism (which as a result) have seen an over incarceration of black and Indigenous people in our criminal justice system. To be making a joke about that is disgraceful.\u201d<\/p>\n

The True North report<\/a> says that in December 2021, Justice Minister Arif Virani was tasked with addressing systemic discrimination contributing to the overrepresentation of Black Canadians in the justice system. A 2020\/21 Justice Canada report found that 9% of federal offenders were Black, though they make up only 4% of the population.<\/p>\n

The Black Justice Strategy<\/em> report, released in June and developed with input from 12 Black-led organizations, proposes measures like reducing Black and Indigenous incarceration by 50% by 2034, easing bail restrictions, repealing mandatory minimums, and providing a taxpayer-funded \u201csafe supply\u201d of drugs.<\/p>\n

It also advocates for decriminalizing possession of a 30-day supply of controlled substances, including heroin, meth, and cocaine, and reallocating 25% of federal police grants to non-police organizations.<\/p>\n

Virani called the report \u201chistoric\u201d and essential for building a fairer justice system, but Jivani warned that its recommendations would lead to more crime and disorder, calling the strategy \u201cappalling\u201d in a July social media post.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
