FULL SPEED AHEAD

Re Minister Says Ottawa Working To Decrease Indigenous Incarceration (May 16): Justice Minister David Lametti says that “we’re turning a big ship around, and I think it is fair to say that we’re doing it incrementally in order to bring the rest of Canadian society along.” I don’t understand this excuse.

Turn up the engines; get more wind into the sails of the ship of state. That Indigenous women make up 50 per cent of incarcerated women is unjust, shameful and immoral.

Forget incremental steps, just take real action.
