@PatrickEMills Assuming victims are made with the same mindset as their abusers is like assuming a carrot cut will go on to cut other vegetables. It is ridiculous.
@PatrickEMills Injustice is rooted to economics. If it is deemed too expensive to prosecute, they don’t do it. toronto.citynews.ca/2021/07/09/que…
@PatrickEMills Many Indigenous criminal cases go unsolved because it is cheaper to admit a botched investigation and pay out settlement than to prosecute.
@PatrickEMills Lawyers don’t want to cover cases of elder abuse because it is deemed unprofitable to do if the elder person hasn’tgot a job. The cost of suing outweighs the settlement costs.
@PatrickEMills When corporate abuse happens, solicitors use non disclosure agreements to settle which gags victims. The corporate insurance covers it and the perpetuator gets away with it without intervention because nobody has jurisdiction to correct the behaviour.
@PatrickEMills The justice system sees repeated corporate criminals as a profit maker. Deferred prosecutions bring in revenues and by keeping a rotating door it is a constant revenue stream. There is little economic motive to stop abuses.
@PatrickEMills SNC Lavalin is such a consistent money maker with corruption that they had a slush fund for bribes. If doing the crime nets them more money than the fine it is simply deemed a reasonable business decision to do. cbc.ca/news/canada/sn…
@PatrickEMills In Canada Human trafficking continues with welfare, jails, and systemic poverty pushing Indigenous & minorities into Canada’s ward systems. Rape prosecution statistics are dismal. Canada’s blood quantum laws and rapes to disenfranchise indigenous people were paper genocides.
@PatrickEMills Rich people use strategic bankruptcy to break bad contracts, to dump bad assets and lean stripping to dump second leans and cramming down debt to get less interest fees. This was used by wealthy people to gain more capital.
@PatrickEMills CEOs of Fossil Fuel firms made money regardless of bankruptcy. oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-…
@PatrickEMills From the book Putin’s People it speaks of how money is made from approvals to free up grants and loans. Even if a project fails it makes money. This example uses the Trump Tower in Toronto to illustrate. It is a Canadian and International issue.
@PatrickEMills In Canada crime pays because it a source of revenue. Canada is on stolen lands and the beneficiaries of that still evade taxes. The system was built for and by them and it leads to this outrageous inequity. policynote.ca/the-rich-and-t…
@PatrickEMills The New England Company funded Harvard to produce the laws that would serve a white Protestant British Empire foundation for all of North America. Their mission statement here. It is a 2000 year old trust fund. newenglandcompany.org/pdfs/NEC%20-%2…
@PatrickEMills The New England Company controlled Indigenous Affairs and the Church in Canada. The Barons were thriving because they had the bias to their benefit. They still operate in Canada. Their website here. newenglandcompany.org/htms/history.h…
@PatrickEMills I looked at the Canada and wondered why crimes go unpunished. I found my answers following the money. As an Acadian, we were paid in Tokens in a Trunk system. My family name is spelled Lantin in this report. jstor.org/stable/30303072
@PatrickEMills My money free Acadian Metis people survived every war fought in North America including deportation & genocides. Money is a man made token of IOU. It shouldn’t influence justice at all. Justice is about harm done and the need to restore and heal. It has been perverted by money.
@PatrickEMills When justice only serves the rich who can afford it, lays an unjust foundation for the rest of society. We need to build on equity not inequity. resilience.org/stories/2020-0…
