Canadian Justice 1/3: Is Canada's "best" "indigenous" lawyer a pretendian?

Katherine Hensel, of Ukrainian (Viking Rus settler) ancestry, spent her career in law pretending to be indigenous to British Columbia and reaping the benefits from Big Law to the University of Toronto, where she taught as an adjunct professor despite only having an English major. She currently works for Foglers: a Caucasian Zionist law firm. As this case demonstrates, her supporters in the government, judiciary and media know she is a racist fraud. However, they continue to cover it up, since to incriminate her would incriminate them. In this case, which is reminiscent of a Black Cube operation, the Law Society paid Hensel upwards of $100,000 to accuse a lawyer, based on fabricated sources, of being a pseudo-intellectual racist and a misogynist with bizarre views (2024 HRTO 480 at para. 6) for allegedly calling her a “white Indian”. These accusations were received as evidence and parroted as conclusions by her fellow Ukrainian judge Cyndee Cherniak, echoing the words of her fellow pretendian judge Thomas Heeney, who has less than an arts major. Most surprising (or unsurprising given the history of European colonialism) is that the courts—together with the media and Law Society—explicitly endorsed the ‘disfranchisement’ of illegitimate descendants of settler-colonialists, since miscegenation was illicit, or at least taboo, until the end of the 20th c. See, e.g., Debra Thompson, “Nation and Miscegenation: Comparing Anti-Miscegenation Regulations in North America” (Dept of Political Science, U of T, May 2008) at 2.
