R. v. Barton - 2019 SCC 33 - [2019] 2 SCR 579 - 2019-05-24
Supreme Court JudgmentsCriminal law
That reality was openly acknowledged in R. v. Williams, [1998] 1 S.C.R. 1128, where this Court discussed the “invasive”, “elusive”, and “corrosive” nature of one particular type of bias: racism against Indigenous persons (para. 22). [...] For example, in Williams, this Court recognized that Indigenous people are the target of hurtful biases, stereotypes, and assumptions, including stereotypes about credibility, worthiness, and criminal propensity, to name just a few (para. 28). [...] [231] The undisputed biases against sex-trade workers and against Indigenous peoples can be “as invasive and elusive as they are corrosive” (R. v. Williams, [1998] 1 S.C.R. 1128, at para. 22).
