Parole by Proxy: Systemic Failure Repeats in Thunder Bay The Parole Board of Canada's decision to grant Brayden Bushby full parole is a grim reminder that systemic failure has real world consequences, particularly for Indigenous communities.
The news has sparked outrage among those who have been fighting for justice in the wake of Barbara Kentner's tragic death.
Bushby's crime was a hate fueled act of violence that targeted a member of the Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation. In 2017, he threw a trailer hitch at a moving vehicle, striking Kentner with devastating consequences.
