The murderer of Ashley Noelle Arzaga has been sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 10 years. He severely injured the woman who restrained him.

In June, Justice Sukhail Akhtar ruled that the stabbing amounted to an act of terrorism due to its links to so-called “incel” ideology, which stands for “involuntary celibate,” a fringe internet subculture dominated by men who blame women for their lack of sexual relations.

It’s believed to be the first time in Canada that a court has made a finding of incel-motivated terrorist activity.

    It’s not life in prison if you get parole in 10 years.

      You don’t get parole in 10 years. You apply for parole in 10 years.

      It’s life in corrections. You can apply for parole in 10 years but you are on parole for life. You are supervised and monitored for life.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A man who pleaded guilty to the incel-inspired murder of a Toronto massage parlour employee has been sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 10 years.

    The man, who cannot be identified because he was 17 at the time of the attack, has also been sentenced to three years behind bars for attempted murder, to be served concurrently.

    In June, Justice Sukhail Akhtar ruled that the stabbing amounted to an act of terrorism due to its links to so-called “incel” ideology, which stands for “involuntary celibate,” a fringe internet subculture dominated by men who blame women for their lack of sexual relations.

    It’s believed to be the first time in Canada that a court has made a finding of incel-motivated terrorist activity.

    Prosecutors wanted him sentenced as an adult, noting he was six months shy of turning 18 at the time and meticulously researched, planned and made choices surrounding the attack that reflected adult thoughts and actions.

    The defence, meanwhile, sought to have the man sentenced under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, which sets a limit of 10 years.

        Are you aware that most of the so called “incel ideology” is focused on rape? I found it ironic and fitting, but you are right it’s not very pc and prison shouldn’t be like that.

          I didn’t realise it was an ideology. I thought it was people who didn’t expect women to have independent thought, and who hadn’t discovered the power of soap and toothpaste being bitter about their dating prospects.
