There should be NO Young Offenders Act. ALL violent acts should be tried in adult court. That act is only there to protect politicians from embarrassment when their own children commit offences. Violent crime should be met with the strictest of penalties regardless of age. Right now there are situations where adults are using minors to commit crimes with the promise they only get a slap on the wrist. When a teen breaks the law, any law, their picture and name and crime should be posted in all of the Malls and Public Places. Maybe add the parent's pic and name as well. That might just provide the incentive for parents to control kids. Shaming them just might get through to them.
I'm certain that the offender is white. Were he black or Indigenous or a Middle Eastern immigrant, he'd be out on the street by now, with a mere finger wag from some Liberal judge.
Don’t you just love it when a Caucasian kids does something like it’s quickly labelled as racists…yet when it’s the other way around the wheels don’t even move that way. That being said the YOA is horrible and needs to change considerably.
Which means very little in Canada today, especially if he ticks off any of the right boxes.

There should be zero leniency for "intergenerational trauma", either, nor should there be leniency if the individual is not Canadian. Crocks x2
