Holy justice! As close as it gets in Canada:

Ontario’s top court hikes sentences for convicted terrorists

Ontario’s highest court has come down hard on convicted terrorists, dramatically hiking prison sentences for the first Canadians convicted of violent jihadist activities…

another court brings down a (for Canada) judicial hammer:

Inderjit Singh Reyat, the only man convicted in the Air India bombing, has been sentenced to nine years in jail for perjury at the trial of his accused co-conspirators.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Mark McEwan gave Reyat credit for 17 months in pretrial custody, meaning he will spend seven years, seven months more in jail [it does?].

The sentence was the highest ever in Canada for perjury, the previous longest jail term being six years from a case in Alberta…

Who would have thought that judges could turn out to be amongst the hardest-assed in our government? And there can be no suggestion of Islamaphobia in this case.
