Gaya has been in custody since his arrest and with 7½ years credit for the time he has already served, Gaya was sentenced to serve another 4½ years, but could be eligible for parole in 1½ years.
What on earth are we doing awarding a terrorist double time or anytime for that matter, credit for time served in pre-trial custody? I thought the government was going to trash this nonsense. The guy was in custody because by his own actions he had demonstrated that he was ineligible in the interests of among other things public safety. So we reward him for that? The guy gets sentenced to 7 1/2 yrs yet we are going to spring him free in 21 measly months. This is not funny…..this is insanity.

CBC documentary last night reviewed the clear problems with more releases. ‘stupid is as stupid does’ …when CBC gets it even.
