I would like to provide a contrary opinion about this man and his sentence.  It was just.  He is young and remains committed to extremism that is abhorrent, and this requires time in a federal prison.  The Canadian federal prison system is no cakewalk.  He has time to reflect and turn it around and live a fulfilled one chance at life upon his release.  He did not kill anyone but he would have. He can be watched for a long time or he can have a family, be with family and friends and enjoy the love and companionship that emanates from this.  All that is required is a conscience and a joy of life.  Good luck to him.
