Is this correct: you get only 5 years for murder
If you kill one person you get 5 years
If you kill 500 people you get 5 years
If you kill 3,000 people you get 5 years, period?

Technically, they could ask for consecutive; but it's rarely done, because that would be "too tough" on the criminal.

So yes, in Canada, you can get a "discount" on large-volume crimes. Some deterrent, eh?
