�Cases like this one make judges worry,� Pollack told him. �No judge wants to be the one who gave what would look like to any member of the public to be a very low sentence and then hear the next day that this person was released early from jail and stabbed somebody.�
100 days for stabbing someone and they can't keep him in that long?
A year and a half for growing plants?
Dumb on crime.

His concerning criminal history — he was described by another judge last year as being “off the rails” — is all linked to a major booze problem, court was told.

"A booze problem" is slang for "alcohol addiction", I take it?

He didn't stab anyone to garner the 100days. He was caught drinking and Driving and had two knives on him.

Since becoming an adult he’s racked up a number of convictions, including for forcible entry, drug and weapons possession, mischief and breaching conditions of bail and probation orders.
He wasn't just drunk with knives though.

Was just wondering what does one actually have to do in Canada to actually end up in the slammer for a long time ?

Not really, because you'll get detained at an airport instead.
