If Canadian prisons are anything like those south of the border his 18 years will be *tough* years for sure.

He is right. 18 years is too long to let him live. Give him death.

Is his sentence unreasonable because he is a homosexual child abuser, as opposed to a heterosexual abuser? What exactly his his point? Does he feel special because he is a homosexual??? Does he have NAMBLA on the brain, thinking that there was nothing wrong with what he did????

Convicted pedophiles should not be allowed to live.

Perhaps a shorter sentence and a length of rope. Oops, the death penalty was removed officially in 1973 and 1998 for the military.

The inmates at Dorchester Pen will likely make his life interesting, to say the least. ‘Skinners’ are not popular. He should be thankful he is not in Milhaven or the SHU.
