BATTLEFORD, Sask. – Federal Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould says Canada “can and must do better” after a white farmer was acquitted in the shooting death of a young Indigenous man.
A reportedly all-white jury in Battleford, Saskatchewan deliberated 13 hours before finding 56-year-old Gerald Stanley not guilty of second degree murder in the 2016 death of 22-year-old Colten Boushie from the Red Pheasant First Nation.
