Myles Sanderson was in breach of parole, after 59 convictions, when he butchered 10 innocent people in Saskatchewan. A police officer and a Toronto man were murdered by a former gangster with an “extensive” record, who was flagged as high risk to re-offend. Dangerous people walking the streets is not an “aberration,” defence lawyer Ari Goldkind tells Anthony Furey this week. Activism about systemic racism and anti-policing permeate Canada’s justice system so high-risk convicts get too many breaks. But, Goldkind says, because they’re released into the communities they came from — not where activists and legislators live — people in power don’t seem to care.
