Canada considers life sentences for offending someone based off sex, age, or race

Sky News Australia host Liz Storer has responded to a proposed law in Canada that could see people serving life sentences for offending someone. The law if introduced will make it a criminal offence to offend or discriminate against someone on the basis of their race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, sex, age, among other factors. The law would also enable people to report others for a pre-crime, if they have a strong sense such an offence is going to be committed. “How can they possible have enough prison space to serve out that many life terms?” Ms Storer said. “Good lord, the three of us would be locked up every single night for life, if this was the case in Australia.”
