What's the punishment for controlled substance?
It is illegal to possess, supply and produce. Possession of Class A drugs carries a maximum sentence of 7 years' imprisonment and a fine. Possession with intent to supply, trafficking offences and production of Class A drugs carry a maximum sentence of life imprisonment and a fine.

So you are right, TECHNICALLY he wasn't charged with a felony, he just committed one and got a lenient judge. |
You’re arguing with a Canadian lawyer about Canadian legal terminology and making yourself look foolish. The term felony does not exist in Canada.
