Harsh punishment might be a good deterrent, but do we have such a thing in Canada? Vince Li is out and unsupervised. Karla Homolka volunteering at schools, Degrood applied already for less conditions. Natalie Pasqua almost killed another woman 5 years after pushing someone in front of a C train. Daniel Tschetter killed a whole family with his cement truck drunk and was out in less than 5. No sentence longer than 12 years for a cowardly swarming of Lukas Strasser (except the guy who just skipped bail and is still at large) Scary how light a lot of these sentences are, NCR or not.

You can't lump Vince Li and Matthew DeGrood in with the rest of those cases though. The circumstances were nothing alike and the framework in place was, and is being, used. If these two are found NCR, they will most likely be in custody much longer than if they were found guilty.
I do agree that the other cases you mentioned did result in sentences that were much too short.
