What a miscarriage of justice. If they’re remotely right that this guy was a deeply misogynist incel lashing out, that precludes this being a genuine act of terrorism as defined under Canadian law. He’d have to have committed the murder “in whole or in part for a political, religious or ideological purpose, objective or cause”. Genuinely hating women and lashing out accordingly is the polar opposite of doing it for a cause. The prosecution is essebtially alleging that the defendant did this for personal reasons.

Terrible ruling.
Disagree
The ideological cause is misogyny
It’s not personal: his victim did nothing to him: he hated her because she was a woman.
Replace “woman” with “black” and it becomes even more obvious and KKK like.
Using incel rhetoric to justify a murder is absolutely political and ideological.
