Is Canadian Judicial Council investigating this current SK Prov Ct Judge (no longer on Twitter)?
After (Stanley) verdict, Judge Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond wrote on Twitter: "When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty."https://t.co/iBjjmfW8iI

About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

But the judge involved is the highest ranking legal official in the province, I thought.
Chief Justice Martel Popescul presided over the trial and he bent over backwards to ensure a fair, proper trial, but still some believe the verdict was wrong.
No justice, no peace? Or will a new big screen HDTV suffice?
Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond is the Elizabeth Warren of Saskatchewan justice.
Why have trials?
Trudeau already insinuated that Stanley is guilty despite what the jury found.
Wikipedia states that this "judge" is on leave from the Saskatchewan Provincial Court. If this status is true, let's hope that her open criticism of the Court of Queen's Bench ensures that her position is no longer open to her. Then she can SJW all she wants.
I apologize for the rather ‘dated’ article following ...
https://www.cnet.com/pictures/the-most-anticipated-tvs-of-2017/
However, I expect the 2018 article will be published soon. Now please accept Justin Sockeye’s generous compensation, and move along.
PS ... I thought Indians were supposed to be more stealthy when casing the white man’s property?
a "judge" is a lefty activist, say it isn't so. This sort of $hit is all over the western world. When justice is in decline, a free and democratic society is no longer possible. Time to "revolt"!!!!
" let's hope that her open criticism of the Court of Queen's Bench ensures that her position is no longer open to her. Then she can SJW all she wants."
Or, with blatant bias and stupidity like that, she may well be trying to get on turdo la doo's short list for an SCC appointment.
Mary Ellen is the Margaret Trudeau of Saskatchewan.

"resistance becomes duty"
yeah, tell that to an armed, intoxicated,
thieving colten boushie... oh wait...

I never thought she was qualified with the intellect and/or moral character to be a judge. And that was before I knew she had a Twitter account.
It is no part of the work of a judge to Tweet, and the role of a judge must be accepted with some constraints on personal conduct that are not required of most jobs. E.g. you don't wing comments on other judge's cases before or during a trial, or after their decision. It's none of your business unless the case is laid before you in court or the relevant government asks for an opinion.
Well, every case she has ever been involved with needs to be re-examined. Union mana from heaven I suppose.
Turpel-Lafond was appointed to a newly made-up position to champion children's rights under BC's Liberals. She never failed to blame 'society' for every ill that befell a child - including a 19yr old who had 'timed out' of the child protection services and jumped from a third floor window of a hotel in which he was placed. Never mind that the under the terms of child protective services he was no longer supposed to be a ward of the state, the 'system' still failed to protect him and an inquiry was convened.
Failed families, single parenthood, cultural shortcomings were never, ever at fault. It was always 'the system' and collective guilt.
Here's her entry under Wikipedia and further to the Elizabeth Warren comment, have a look at her photo and see how much 'Treaty Indian' you see there. Treaty Indian - check. Woman - check. Hyphenated last name - check. She's a left wing activist.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Ellen_Turpel-Lafond
"She was appointed in 2006 as British Columbia's first Representative for Children and Youth, an independent position reporting to the Legislative Assembly. She was re-appointed to a second 5-year term in 2011. Turpel-Lafond was earlier the first Treaty Indian to be appointed to the judicial bench of the Provincial Court of Saskatchewan."
"... I thought Indians were supposed to be more stealthy when casing the white man’s property?"
They were certainly stealthy in the old days, when their traditional way of life involved raiding other tribes/bands. Because the consequences of getting caught certainly included a good chance of being killed outright or dying of even minor wounds under the tender care of the medicine man. But we whites ruined all that for them with our welfare culture and catch-and-release "justice" system, they don't take their jobs seriously, no planning, no practice, just show up for "work" drunk and/or high.
Kenji - there's no need for stealth in rural Saskatchewan or Alberta. Many may say that I am talking through my hat, but if the property owner makes any attempt to stop the thieves beyond bigger and bigger locks, the law here will charge him with assault or worse. I should mention that those rules apply regardless of the ethnicity of the thief.
You have to be able to make a case that your life was in peril to avoid it. You can guess at where this upside down situation eventually leads.
Last pic I saw of her , her hair was gray and 1/2 inch long.. Signaling "Something'.. Use your imagination.
Did you see her Mission Statement RE "UN children rights".... YES! CANADIAN LAW IS determined BY THE UN
I have a hard time mustering any sympathy for a criminal who is shot when caught in the process of a crime.
Quit stealing if you don't like getting shot at. Otherwise, quit complaining...it's a cost of doing "business".
SHE IS an UN Activist hidden within the Canadian judicial system... What are her Powers?
"As the Representative, she does not work for the executive branch of government. Rather, the Representative for Children and Youth is an independent office of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia and does not report through a provincial ministry. Their work is based on the United Nations' Convention on the Rights of the Child, and upholds the following values:"
I could not help notice that a group of indigenous protestors were shrewd enough to use Colten Boushie images from his graduation, showing him complete with gown and mortar.
Just like the images of a sweet-looking 10yo Trayvon Martin ... what kind of a RACIST MONSTER would fight with that sweet kid ?
"Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond is the Elizabeth Warren of Saskatchewan justice."
Kind of looks like the only Indian in her is the one she married.
You tresspass on someone's property, threaten their family and steal from them, you don't necessarily deserve to die... but if you do those things you take your chances and deserve whatever you get IMHO.
Yes, we seem to be heading pell mell into Freisler and Vishinsky style of justice. Didn't we have a link here the other day about the University of Windsor redirecting their law discipline school to change the emphasis to social justice rather than justice based 800 years of liberal democracy.
As our recently retired premier of Saskatchewan said after prisoners at the Penitentiary went on strike because they did not like the food, "If you don't like the food, don't go to jail".
Of course he was excoriated by the lefties and the Press, one and the same, but the rest of us got a kick out of it.
If you don't want to get shot, don't go smashing somebodies car windows with your rifle. What do you expect?
Thanks for posting the judges charge to the jury. I ask everyone who comments on this subject if they have read it. If they have not, I tell them they have no credibility until they have.
Yes. I remember his comment quite well. I also recall the flogging he received from the media and others of the lefty persuasion. Actually what he said made perfect sense and he had the intestinal fortitude to toss political correctness aside and make a statement that he knew would offend the local bleeding hearts. I would bet that 90% of Saskatchewanians were in full agreement.
