Or... bless my buttons, Mr Activist...
...they could simply be committing the lions share of the crime...
WINNIPEG — Nearly half of all youth who end up in custody across Canada are Indigenous, a statistic that a Manitoba activist says shows unacceptable and systemic racism.How about we talk about unacceptable and systemic child neglect?
Data released by Statistics Canada shows Aboriginal youth made up 46 per cent of admissions to correctional services in 2016-17 while making up only eight per cent of the youth population.
"The rate of deaths from injuries is 3 to 4 times higher for Aboriginal children than for other children in Canada."

old white guy says----------------much like blacks in America. if they are committing the crime they do the time. it does not matter who they are.
I had an employee who was a Cree lady from Saskatchewan. She confided in her life back in "the reserve" to use her terminology. She was energetic, ambitious and was 100% reliable at work. She told me she was threatened by relatives for seeking a "better life" outside and for opposing crime. She was called a "red apple" meaning she was "red on the outside and white on the inside".Last I heard of her she was a commissioned officer in the RCAF. Good for her.
