More hate crimes in Toronto

Mar. 27 - Toronto's Jewish community aren't the only ones at the receiving end of hatred: Catholics are latest hate target and a Pickering Islamic Centre was torched Tuesday night. The Canadian Jewish Congress condemned the arson.

Community Safety Minister Monte Kwinter says that hate crimes should be treated more seriously under young offender legislation and subject to tougher penalties because of the potential for tuning community against community.

I'm not sure what the last item is supposed to mean given that young offenders' legislation is a mere handslap. Does it now require two hand slaps instead of the one?
