Dangerous driving causing death is max 14 year prison but I guess making an illegal turn is only classified as "careless" now.

To add insult to injury this Toronto police vehicle parked in the exact spot where the cyclist was killed to get a coffee.

The difference is that Carless driving falls under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act. Dangerous driving is a criminal code violation.
