Reply to comment by Macqt in One of eight teen girls charged in Toronto stabbing death granted bail by liquid_deflation

thats a maximum sentence, courts will likely give them much much less. you can murder someone and get out in a couple years in canada. do it with a car and you probably wont even go to prison.

Murder, both degrees, carry mandatory sentences in Canada, not maximums. Adults convicted are sentenced to life, which means 25 years before parole can be considered.

Manslaughter has a maximum of life, but is usually much less.
