‘Lady Injustice is blind to the suffering of her fellow citizens’

Robert-Falcon Ouellette, the Liberal MP for Winnipeg Centre, gave an impassioned response to a months-long investigation from Maclean’s reporter Nancy Macdonald that revealed that at every step, Canada’s justice system is designed to put Indigenous people in jail—and keep them there. “It’s a two-tier justice system,” said Ouellette, speaking to reporters from inside Parliament Hill, and promising to go to his riding and to prisons to speak to constituents and give voice to them.
