Justice in Canada - ACES and GLADUE

My interest lies in the criminal justice system in Canada and how it treats its' Indigenous Peoples. My research focuses on dangerous offenders and FASD specifically in Saskatchewan. You don't hear the term 'ACES' being mentioned in my circles. I believe this movement needs to be heard in the legal community. As a 52-year-old Metis lawyer and scholar, and Gladue report writer, I have found that the journey to healing as allowed for an enlightened perspective. Formerly, my work led me to FASD and intersections with the CJS. I have since realized, current caselaw demonstrates we continue to house my indigenous brethren with little concern for alternatives to incarceration. The TRC and Supreme Court of Canada demand we implement steps to halt the effects of colonialization and yet...we fail to implement meaningful changes. I hope to create an Indigenous ACES blog that speaks to justice in Canada. I would like to know if there is any interest out there?
