Canada’s Two-Tiered Justice System

Canada has a two-tiered justice system. While most Canadians are sent to their appropriate prisons on account of their crimes and sentences, indigenous women in particular can choose to be sent to what are known as “Healing lodges” on account of their race and gender.

This has been occurring since at least the early 90’s. But the practice has received much attention as of late when it was revealed that Terri-Lynne McClintic, who is serving a life sentence for the brutal rape and murder of an 8-year-old girl, was transferred to one of these healing lodges instead of spending the rest of her days at a traditional prison.

The government of Canada describes healing lodges as follows:

“Aboriginal Healing Lodges are correctional institutions where we use Aboriginal values, traditions and beliefs to design services and programs for offenders. We include Aboriginal concepts of justice and reconciliation. The approach to corrections is holistic and spiritual. Programs include guidance and support from Elders and Aboriginal communities.”

Here is a video of one such lodge, the “Willow Cree Healing Lodge”.



Though designed with the indigenous women in mind, non-indigenous people can weasel their ways in so long as they follow the indigenous “healing” aspects of the program, including taking guidance and support from Elders. It is unknown whether McClintic is herself indigenous.

These facilities are not designed to house violent rapists and child-killers such as McClintic. These facilities are without fences and security is minimum. Worse, children and at-risk individuals seeking rehabilitation can be found in the same facility. Nonetheless, figures show that more than 20 child killers were sent to these healing lodges since 2011 under both Conservative and Liberal governments. 15 offenders have escaped over the last five years.

Healing lodges were built to improve the over representation of indigenous people in Canadian prisons. The Canadian government, always worried about its image, doesn’t like how such a turnout looks. What will others think?

Because Canada loves to overcompensate for its historic treatment of the indigenous peoples, its collective guilt for colonialism, disguising it behind campaigns of public relations and virtue-signalling, it is no wonder it would subvert its own justice system in order to do so. If this means operating a two-tiered justice system, resorting to race-based preferential treatment, so be it.

But, because of the outrage over the most recent case, McClintic has since been sent back to a traditional prison, where she’ll have to manage holistic and spiritual healing on her own and without the help of any elders or the Canadian tax-payer.

I am an indigenous person and do not know much about these healing lodges but I do know that a person who has killed a child, should not have access to these resources, no matter the race of the person.

This is a very interesting topic. SnF


I never heard of healing lodges. Interesting concept.

I do have a question though.

What if the healing lodge actually heals her?

What if the rehabilitation process of the lodge is better than prison rehabilitation?

What is Canada's prison rehabilitation success rate?

a reply to: Propagandalf

What's even more a slap in the face is McClintic is not even native, I believe as of last week, she was put back into prison.

There is no cure for someone who crushes a little girls skull with a hammer, after luring her to be raped.
Death is too good for this piece of filth, she should do her time in a sewer.

Maybe not. But wouldn't it be good if there were.

It's a nice thought, I think some people can be healed, others, not so much.

That seems to be the case alright.

What do you expect? Canada is a testing ground for the globalists too see how much they can get away with. Been like that since the 60's?

Be even better if there were healing for the broken child, virginity and innocence restored. Instead, all she got was terror, pain and death, her life snuffed to satisfy the inhumanity of the rapist and murderer. But too many people care only for the transgressor, who made the choice to deserve nothing.

The word INDIGINOUS was TACTICLLY CREATED AND APPLIED LEGALLY WITH A PRIMARY PURPOSE...not a positive purpose...a BUSINESS CONTRACTUAL PURPOSE.
The healing Lodges are the Prime Ministers PANDERING to his liberal minded voters....he has turned out to not be much like his Father was in terms of standing up for Canada in that his Father always put Canada as a whole first and it was by this justice alone that he then supported social interests within this framework....Justin panders to groups and tries to juggle them all like a Clown...his Father knocked the balls out of the air that he didn't want there he didn't juggle anything he made DECISIONS and let his support network deal with the implementation and legalities...remember a true LEADER makes a decision FIRST...he takes a calculated risk on behalf of an entire Country with every decision AND non-decision he makes or fails to make.


Justin is AFRAID to challenge in any ways the word title definition label stereotype or contractual context of anything INDIGENOUS.....because HE KNOWS THE TRUE HISTORY BEHIND THE WORD and he is aware of all of the damages caused by its creation and implementation as it was embedded legally.

Canada is RIFE with graft theft and conjobs on the Civic level...I sometimes believe that White-Collar criminals from other Countries have unofficially named Canada a destination of Choice for career advancement.

I live in a winter city and over the last 4-5 years a single company has made close to 100-150 million dollars painting bike lies and lanes along roadways and putting up roadsigns…..no one uses the bike lanes...its all a MASSIVE FRAUD....the company is owned by a relative of a former city council member....the decision to build the year round city wide bicycle lanes was passed UNANIMOUSLY in City Hall...an extreme rarity by history.... these clowns are so blatant and collusinary that current City Hall is still blatantly feeding them money by doing things like implementing reduced Playground speed zones city-wide...NOT SCHOOL LOADING ZONES OR PLAYGROUNDS...but all Parks and Play areas in the City....numbering in the thousands....they intentionally overstepped and dropped the speeds so low in areas with no usage or need and BLANKETED the entire city with new signage....knowing full well there would be an eventual pushback...but its cost taxpayers 150 MILLION DOLLARS so far and the tab is still running.....7:30am to 9:30 pm....30km …..around the ENTIRE CIRCUMFERENCE OF EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL AND PUBLIC PLAYGROUND BASEBALL FIELD AND PARK IN THE CITY ...THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF signs @ 25oo dollars a pop to install....and when the tactically planned PUSHBACK HAPPENS it will lilely cost as much to REMOVE MOST OF THESE SIGNES...the GOLDEN PARACHUTE for the fraudsters running the Company raping the city coffers....this is a City Council that built a 24 million dollar funicular....lol...seriously....24 million on a funicular and 150 million on bike lanes and playground signs IN A WINTER CITY WHERE NO ONE USES THE NOW YEARROUND AND EVEN SNOWPLOUGHED BIKE LANES MOST OF THE YEAR AND WHERE ITS DARK OUT IN THE EVENINGS AT 5PM AND NO ONE LETS THEIR KIDS GO TO PLAYGROUNDS ALONE.....lol..even isolated Ballfields Adults use are utterly surrounded by signs.....it is SUCH A BLATANT FRAUD....but City Hall and local MSM have a MEDIA LOCKOUT in Edmonton and there is NOWHERE FOR ANYONE TO VOICE OPPOSITION...they even changed City Hall nd itys rules to STRONGARM AND ISOLATE EVERYONE WHO MIGHT CHALLENGE THEM...this is on top of nearly A BILLION DOLLARS IN SO-CALLED CONSULTING FEES that someone has squeeked about out loud and everyone is now looking at....that was nearly A BILLION DOLLARS OF SPENT MONEY WITH NO CAPITOL RETURNS....and there is NO VOICE FOR AN OPPOSITION.....this City of Edmonton is Illuminatti Central man.

If anyone can find a picture of the massive number of signs on the streets in Edmonton please post one...its hilarious...so blatantly fraudulent....and remember that a Major Hospital called the Misericordia Hospital in Edmonton CANNOT BE RENOVATED NOR REBUILT WHEN THIS IS NEEDED...because the City doesn't have enough money to do so.

Canadas Jusice System is simply an accurate reflection of its SOCIAL NORMS...sad isn't it.

It would be better if it never happened.

Thank the stars she was sent back to prison

ETA: you can add Gladue reports to that list as well en.wikipedia.org...

According to the article I cited, the effectiveness is unclear.

It’s not clear how effective they are

Aboriginal healing lodges are a response to the disproportionate number of Indigenous people behind bars and an attempt to address concerns that “mainstream prison programs do not work for Aboriginal offenders,” according to information from CSC’s website. They use a “holistic and spiritual” approach, including “guidance and support from Elders and Aboriginal communities.”

But research into their effectiveness has shown mixed results. A 2013 government backgrounder claims that the recidivism rate for offenders who’d completed programs at three Aboriginal healing lodges was six per cent, less than the national rate of 11 per cent. But a 2001 government analysis reported a 19 per cent rate of recidivism for healing lodge residents, compared to 13 per cent for Indigenous offenders released from minimum-security facilities.

Considering how many people just walk away from those places, I would say not effective. I live in Sask. It happens a lot.

Well, yes. It’s ineffective for the purpose of justice, but effective in making people feel good I suppose.

Thanks you for the article.

The healing lodges were there under Harper, as much as I dislike Trudeau, this can't all be put on him..other than here is a chance to change it.

I read she "identifies" as native. Another awesome progressive value Canadians cater to.

Many cities have signed onto something called ICLEI which is Local Governments for Sustainability.

ICLEI promotes local action for global sustainability and supports cities to become sustainable, resilient, resource-efficient, biodiverse, low-carbon; to build a smart infrastructure; and to develop an inclusive, green urban economy. T

This is where bikes path being foisted on winter cities comes from. I noticed they have an add on denying they are part of the Agenda 21/2030 but they were founded in 1990 at the United Nations in New York.
