In judicial first, Canada judge says truck attacker committe

OTTAWA (Reuters) -A self-confessed Canadian white nationalist who deliberately ran over and killed four members of a Muslim family with his pick-up truck in 2021 was given a life sentence on Thursday with no chance of parole for 25 years. Nathaniel Veltman, 23, had been found guilty of first-degree murder last November for an attack that shocked Canada. The judge in the case said Veltman's attack represented an act of terrorism, the first time that the term has been used to describe white nationalist violence.
