But when it comes to holding terrorists accountable, Canada&amp;#x27;s track record is a joke.&lt;p&gt;The wikipedia article says the Canadian government spent $130M prosecuting the accused, but was unable to secure a conviction. If these people can&amp;#x27;t be convicted, isn&amp;#x27;t the correct course of action &amp;quot;walked free&amp;quot;? I&amp;#x27;m not sure what the alternative is here? Should we lock them up anyway? Is there any reason to doubt that their prosecution was botched?</text><parent_chain><item><author>screye</author><text>&amp;gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Air_India_Flight_182&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Air_India_Flight_182&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Khalistani perpetrators of the worst terrorist act on Canadian soil, second only to 9&amp;#x2F;11 in deaths, walked free.&lt;p&gt;I can&amp;#x27;t comment on Canada&amp;#x27;s justice system broadly.
