They can just import more wage slaves from abroad to replace any domestic ones that die by criminals' hands.

The court case states that the “Gladue discount” applied. What a disgrace.

Wouldn’t be great if the people who let these scumbags loose start to get in trouble as well when they reoffend? They really need to be held legally accountable.

It blows my mind how we don’t have instances of vigilantism. This case is just so absurd it makes me scratch my head in disbelief. This dude took a life and less than a couple of years later he’s out.

The laws require revision, and the Charter urgently needs an update, more so than any government.

Don’t ask such pertinent questions

“Rehabilitation” for murderers does not work. How is this worm released after only 20 months after killing someone?! Change our damn policies NOW! Also, the federal government is responsible for who gets appointed to parole boards, so there is a bias.

He’s not a murderer. He was convicted of manslaughter after he pushed a guy who had a heart attack a couple days later.

Look at it this way: he's gone from manslaughter to B&E - clearly he's nowhere near as dangerous as he used to be. /s just in case.
