While virtually ever other national media outlet editorialized the verdict of the 'Toronto 18' terrorism trial as "but will be eligible for parole in 3 1/2 years", the Toronto Star, of course, phrased it "will not be eligible for parole for 3 1/2 years. The poor unfortunate, misunderstood man."Okay, one of those lines wasn't theirs. But that's what they were thinking!
In any other country, not only would the guy have to serve his full sentence, it would be a lot longer than 16 years.
"Then why don't you live in one of those countries", The Star would tell me. As well as several people who have met me.
