🇨🇦 Judge overrules defendant's self-identification, orders race-based sentencing report anyway

Jeremy Kuneyuna has 90 convictions and told the court he's Caucasian. Judge Robert Gorin disagreed, citing his Inuit surname and declaring he is plainly not Caucasian based on previous dealings. The court ordered a Gladue report to ensure lighter sentencing considerations for Indigenous offenders apply, even over the accused's objection. So self-identification is sacred unless it interferes with the two-tier justice system designed to address overrepresentation by systematically reducing consequences.

Ninety convictions, half for property crime, a dozen break-and-enters. The solution is not accountability but a judicial audit of intergenerational trauma. This is justice as social engineering, where your ancestry determines your sentence and a judge can racially classify you from the bench if you refuse to comply. Equal treatment under law is dead, replaced by a hierarchy where victimhood status trumps the crime itself.
