Patti Garland deserves a gold key to the city. She has the admiration of so many, regardless.

Do Canadian prisoners feel the same way about child killers as United States prisoners? If so, Garland may be in for longs stretches in solitary.

Yes but as others have said before he will never be placed with other prisoners. He's going to spend the rest of his life in his own private tiny box just like Bernardo.
