PAROLE INELIGIBILITY REDUCTION DOES NOT EQUAL A SENTENCE REDUCTION – A life sentence is for life. “The fact that a person is eligible for parole doesn’t mean they’re getting parole. A person released on parole would continue serving a sentence, being under strict supervision with the possibility of returning to prison until they die.” “The American system of justice is a horror. I know that Mr. Harper and Mr. Poilievre would like to bring that in. But God help us. Ours is so much more merciful and so much more decent.”

YOU CAN’T EXECUTE A PERSON MORE THAN ONCE – “The ruling does not mean that multiple murderers will walk free after 25 years. It does not mean they have a right to parole once the minimum period has expired. It means they have a right to apply. In any such proceeding, the onus is on the prisoner to show why he is no longer a threat to society, not on the Crown to show why he is.”
