נער נשלח לשנתיים במשמורת על ירי לעבר בתי כנסת באזור טורונטו

הערכה

A teenager received the maximum penalty available under Canadian youth law for shooting at two Toronto synagogues. The two year custodial sentence followed by community supervision may feel light given the gravity of targeting houses of worship. The case highlights the limits of the Youth Criminal Justice Act when dealing with hate motivated violence. Watch for whether this sentence prompts any legislative discussion about how Canada handles serious crimes committed by minors.
