Johnson. "The night of the decision in the Gerald Stanley trial for the murder of Colten Boushie, I received a text message from a retired provincial court judge. He was feeling ashamed for his time in a system that was so badly tilted. I too feel this way about my time as both defence counsel and as a Crown prosecutor; that I didn't have the courage to stand up in the court room and shout 'Enough is enough.' This book is my act of taking responsibility for what I did, for my actions and inactions."--Harold R. Johnson. In early 2018, the failures of Canada's justice system were sharply and painfully revealed in the verdicts issued in the deaths of Colten Boushie and Tina Fontaine. The outrage and confusion that followed those verdicts inspired former Crown prosecutor and bestselling author Harold R. Johnson to make the case against Canada for its failure to fulfill its duty under Treaty to effectively deliver justice to Indigenous people, worsening the situation and ensuring long-term damage to Indigenous communities. In this direct, concise, and essential volume, Harold R. Johnson examines the justice system's failures to deliver "peace and good order" to Indigenous people. He explores the part that he understands himself to have played in that mismanagement, drawing on insights he has gained from the experience; insights into the roots and immediate effects of how the justice system has failed Indigenous people, in all the communities in which they live; and insights into the struggle for peace and good order for Indigenous people now."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 630 00 $a Indigenous peoples of North America $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Canada. 650 0 $a Criminal justice, Administration of $z Canada. 650 5 $a Indigenous peoples $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Canada. 650 7 $a Criminal justice, Administration of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883246 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 650 7 $a First Nations $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fnhl 776 08 $i Online version: $a Johnson, Harold, 1957- $t Peace and good order. $d Toronto : McClelland & Stewart, 2019 $z 9780771048739 $z 9780771048739 $w (OCoLC)1090743214 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517011256.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E7F511D82DF611EAB868BF0597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
