Justice in Trudeau’s Canada Is Simple – It’s Either Black or White 

The US justice system has a concept called “extenuating circumstances.”

Extenuating circumstances are mitigating facts or details that are important for fully understanding the circumstances that may have contributed to a criminal action. Thus, if the person that bumped into you and knocked you down turns out to be blind, it might change your (or a jury’s) opinion about the severity of their action.

Under Trudeau’s administration, Canada has taken this idea a big step farther. A new law requires that, in criminal cases, judges must consider the extenuating circumstances that “institutional racism” may have had on convicted criminals of color.

Here’s how it works: When White people and “people of color” commit the same crime – the exact same crime – and all the circumstances are the same, the judge is required to consider giving the person of color a more lenient sentence (more lenient than he would give the White person) because… well, because he or she is a “person of color.”

You can read about it here.

By the way, in researching this story, I didn’t think to find out what “person of color means” in terms of the new law. I’m guessing it would apply to Native Americans and perhaps to Hispanic people, but somehow not to Asians. Actually, maybe it does include Asians. They commit so few crimes, it almost doesn’t count.

In any case, I’ll track it down and get back to you.

The Earliest Christians Lived Where? 

Two of the chief complaints coming from Woke universities across the globe are about the cruelty of colonialism and the arrogant tendency of colonialists – i.e., all White people – to “appropriate” the cultures of the populations they colonize.

This is why, it is said, White people shouldn’t be allowed to wear dreadlocks. Or why, when Number Three Son got married several years ago, two of his cousins objected to the “tequila donkey” we rented because it was wearing a sombrero.

In the clip below, you can see a group of college students arguing that Christianity itself was a blight on indigenous cultures because it was carried (in Bible form) from the all-White colonial powers and forced on the colonized people of power.

While there’s no doubt that Christian missionaries are, and have always been, all over the third world proselytizing and brandishing Bibles, White colonialists did not introduce Christianity to Africa. The Bible was a holy book in Africa before the continent was colonized, as this African student points out.

More on Statins 

I continue to research the effectiveness of statin drugs in reducing my chances of having another stroke. As I’ve mentioned previously, I haven’t found any data that supports the idea that taking statins will extend my life. And my cardiologist confirmed that this true. But he also said that statins would reduce the likelihood that I will spend my final time on earth paralyzed from a stroke.

I’m looking into it now. As part of this effort, I came across the following video by Dr. “Boz” (Annette Bosworth), an internal medicine specialist, that goes deeply into the relationship between arterial and cardiac disease and cholesterol. A lot of what she says was new information for me. I had to listen to it twice before it started to make sense. But it was worth the effort. Spend a half-hour with this video and you’ll know more about cholesterol than almost anyone you know. Possibly including your doctor!
