What, Beverly McLachlin worry?
I mean, what’s the big deal about murdering some 3,000 people in one morning?

Update: Dear Beverly,
Pity no going “overboard” here:
Crown, defence want 7-year term for man guilty in Toronto terrorism plot
…
Even after his incarceration, Dirie still considered himself an active member of the group and was devoted to the jihadist cause, court heard.
He continued trying to get guns for himself and others, tried to get false passports for himself and other group members, and tried to indoctrinate fellow inmates at Ontario’s Collins Bay penitentiary to the extremist cause.
Court heard how the co-leader attempted to send him a package of books and CDs containing violent videos of attacks and bombings on military personnel and other jihadist propaganda.
“Dirie was recruiting people . . . to join the jihadist group,” Bond said.
He also encouraged and advised the co-leader in a series of phone calls but rejected suggestions he take over leadership of the group.
During the calls, Dirie bragged about the pleasant conditions in jail – including his access to a basketball court, showers and work.
“This place is luxury, man,” he said during one call, court heard.
He also decried moderate Muslims and professed his readiness to “take orders.”..
So what now? In fact two/three years before parole? Yikes. Earlier:
Little truth in sentencing…
