    « Hate Crime and Punishment: 45 Days »

    DateThursday, October 30, 2008 at 11:50AM
    A 26-year-old man was sentenced to 45 days in prison this week after pleading guilty to a hate-crimes charge, York Regional Police said yesterday.

    The charge stemmed from an incident last year where the man painted a skeleton black and hung it by a noose from a flag pole - which was flying a Confederate flag - outside a Georgina, Ont., home.

    45 days? That's it? For being about as hateful and obnoxious as you can be? In Ontario? I get it, Canada's a pretty tolerant place, but do we have to be tolerant of hate crimes as well?
