THE COMPLETE SHAME OF OUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM. THIS INCLUDES THE DISHONOURABLE ROBERT REILLY, FRASER KELLY & OTHERS LOCALLY

 O.K. maybe it's no worse than the American judicial system. Unfortunately that is a very low bar to compare to. In the U.S. there has been a history of always "solving" crimes done by Black citizens. Especially violent and or heinous crimes. The "solution" has simply been to find some kind of reasonably possible Black person, charge them, convict them and send them to jail. Minor issues of proper identification, improper interrogation including duress, lack of sleep, intimidation are simply ignored. Reasonable alibis and evidence either being ignored by juries or not shared with the defence have been commonplace.

Last evening the Fifth Estate aired a program on the charges being faced by Frank Stronach the now 92 year old billionaire founder of Magna  (auto parts). Apparently Mr. Stronach had very serious skills as a machinist, designer, engineer (??) which he parlayed from a garage workshop into a multinational manufacturing giant. To view him as a success story of a originally poor immigrant from Austria is appropriate. He has been honoured as a member of the Order of Canada.

Unfortunately according to the Fifth Estate Mr. Stronach has other characteristics of a much less  commendable nature. Allegedly he is a sexual predator preying on young, attractive females. Whether or not he has some kind of psychological need to rack up a high score of women he has had sex with; his behaviour according to many has been beyond abhorrent and well into criminal behaviour. Last evening's story stated that within some of his business establishments he is well known for hitting on new, young female employees and that many are warned by their fellow employees to stay well away from him at all times. Again allegedly his behaviour has included drugging women and raping them.

To a certain degree I found his rebuttal to the Fifth Estate regarding these charges laid by the Crown  to be odd, almost as if he were a third party only barely involved in the matter at all. Now that alone does not preclude innocence nor prove anything. Merely my observation. To date thirteen women have made criminal complaints against him. Again to my mind that certainly adds weight and gravity to all the complainants and either shows a pattern of behaviour by him or an amazing conspiracy to either want him in jail or to harm him otherwise.

One of the women was interviewed on camera and stated that she years or decades after the fact made a full and formal complaint to the Toronto (?) Police Force. She felt that the interviewers were skeptical about her claims against Mr. Stronach.  She also claimed that they never contacted her again with further questions or requests for clarification. Years passed and now she feels better knowing how many other women have come forward with similar allegations.

The Rule of Law states that all persons are treated equally before the law. I personally know that that is utter and complete BULLSHIT and always has been. We had a local sexual predator of young women over in Puslinch many years ago. He drugged women and had sex with them. One young girl died and he spent years in prison because of it.  This criminal was not an Order of Canada member. He was not a billionaire. His daughter was not a former member of Parliament. He did not hob nob with Prime Ministers nor U.S. Presidents.  Mr Stronach appears to be utterly confident that he will not spend a day in prison. Maybe he's innocent or maybe he knows more about our political/judicial system than we do.
