The Canadian Legal System Can Work
Well, some days I worry about the legal system giving in to political pressure, however, I think in this case, if it did, it did for a good reason.

I don't want to hype or critique the case anymore then necessary, but as a society, do we really want to let any former killer of Homolkas nature, have a relationship with another criminal? Especially one that killed his girlfriend? The only logical reason I can think that a pair of murders should have any sort of relationship or friendship together, is perhaps a support group for when they are re-introduced to society to support the challenges that they face.

That being said, as with most right-wing Canadians, and growing up in Burlington, I'd personally like to see Holmoka spend the rest of her life in a jail cell, a very small jail cell, one that doesn't see the light of day. So perhaps she'll violate her release conditions and end up back there.
