The max sentence in Canada for this is life. I do not ever recall a case that received such a sentence. Imp Driving causing death is oddly, considering the Conservatives are hot and heavy on Man Mins, not included. Why???

2 murdered- 3 1/2 years

There is very little to zero consideration for victims and their families in Canada.

It's only about the perps, after all they are the 'real' victims.

Police around here have raised concerns that there have been 350 tickets for going 50km/h over the speed limit so far this year.

I was involved with a performance driving course over this past weekend, and a number of students came to the same conclusion as I did when I first took the course - we thought we knew how to drive fast, but we really had no idea.

You could have left the word fast out of your sentence. Most Canadians don't know how to drive at any speed let alone high speed.

We had a guy in his Ferrari doing I believe 120 in a 50. With his young kid in the seat beside him. late for daycare or something.
