I don't think that Canada and Great Britain will restore the death penalty any time soon, despite your campaign. However I do believe however that in 10 to 20 years time that it will return . I am 16 and believe me, many people I know of my age, including me are strongly in favour of hanging. When the present day youth start getting involved in politics and law, things will change. We are living in reality not some leftist paradise that current politicians lived in in the 1960s/70s. Put simply, people we want to see die, will. I don't believe the present generation will tolerate leniancy and thus, your petition is not in vain.

I would just like to say to those of you who refer to capital punishment as "murder" to remember this; people are on death row for choices THEY made...THEY chose to do what they did. Their victims didn't; their victims had no choice!! From the moment these suspects are taken into custody, they're afforded every right available to them. Did Kristin French get a jury...did she get an appeal?! Referring to capital punishment as murder is disgusting because it puts killer and victim on the same level. I don't believe in judicial torture. But I believe in justice. The quicker we expidite ourselves of these sadistic individuals, the better. Reinstate capital punishment now!!

I believe that a man/women who commits a crime shouldn't be given the death penality, because it is to easy to inject someone with a needle. These people should have to live and rethink their actions for the rest of their lives. It easy to die but is harder maybe even the hardest to live with regreat or remorse. Let them know what they did was wrong, make them live with the GUILT

This has been a long time in coming, and hopefully the government will get the message that the law abiding citizens of this country are sick of criminals running the show. They need to be deterred, and if this works so be it. Crime should no longer pay for these jerks and the free ride at taxpayers cost should end. I would rather pay to see them hang, and it would be cheaper in the long run.

HAVING HAD A LETTER PUBLISHED IN MY LOCAL NEWSPAPER THE MEDWAY NEWS ON FRIDAY THE 18TH OF OCTOBER 2002 "ENTITLED LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE ON PENALTY" I DO MOST STRONGLY SUPPORT THE RESTORATION OF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN BOTH GREAT BRITAIN AND THE DOMINION OF CANADA AS A MEANS OF PUNISHING THOSE IN SOCIETY WHO HAVE THE GALL TO TAKE AWAY OTHER HUMAN BEINGS LIVES . CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IS PUNISHMENT TO FIT THE CRIME OF MURDER AND TREASON

big bad texas (who has the death penalty) has a murder rate of 80 murders a year, and a population of 20,000,000. as apposed to ontario (who dosen't have the death penalty) which has a murder rate of 156 a year, with a population of 16,000,000. therefore the only conclusion that i can come to is that if canada inforces the death penalty it will deter crime.

Going back into history, Hammarabi, King of babylon, gave us his code. Mainly preaching "an eye for an eye" this has it's ups and downs. But when talking about capital punishment, if someone kills another human being, the person who committed the offence should get the same treatment that the accused did to the victim. Like the old saying "What comes around goes around." Capital punishment is a good way to punish those who commit the most unspeakable crime should be put to death.

Bring back the death penalty NOW!! I am tired if our "smart leaders" making no real changes to our policies despite what citizens are demanding(ie. military spending, Kyoto, etc.). It must be nice for the majority of our policy makers who don't live in crime ridden neighbourhoods! They don't have to worry about much, other than getting their time in parliament to fatten up their pensions. They could care less about us working class stiffs! Please, you useless, overpaid, assholes. Bring back the death penalty right now. The sad thing is, that until a serious crime is committed against one of our useless officials, they will continue to turn a blind eye to the reality of what is going on in our society.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT SHOULD DEFINITLY BE LEGAL. Whats the point of having people in jail that are serving multiple life sentences and just wasting the governments money. It would be alot easier to just hang them or give them that new shot. They would be dead and no one would have to worry about them anymore. The best sentence for the death penalty is crucification. /´¯/) ,/¯ / / / /´¯/' '/´¯¯·¸ /'/ / / /¨¨/¯\ ('( ´ ´ ¯&;/' ') \ ' / '\' \ _.·´ \ ( \ \

Scarborough, Ontario Canada - Friday, November 22, 2002 at 13:08:47 (EST)

The issue of capital punishment needs to be examined, individually, with much contemplation. While I support the notion of the death penalty for the most heinous of crimes, murder as a percentage of all crimes committed in Canada is relatively small. I would suggest that an examination of how those incarcerated are treated should be undertaken. It is here that the greatest failing of our justice system occurs. Luxury conditions should not be a feature of our prison system. Long days of difficult manual labour should be the norm. Many murderers have been involved with the legal system for other offences long before committing murder. It is during these early stages that the system should be used as a deterrent. Consider this as well, if our corrections system did operate in this manner, a life time of difficult labour may very well be a more significant punishment than taking the life of the convicted murderer. Please put an end to pampering Canadian criminals and bring back a prison system that acts as a real deterrent. This can be accomplished without violation of anyone's "human rights."

The Death Penalty should definetly be brought back to Canada, its terrible that an innocent civilian, (possibly a mother, father but definetly a son or daughter) can have their life taken away by some derranged lunatic. Life in prison isn't good enough, the prohibiton laws let's a murderer out of prison in twenty five years for good behaviour and that will be that, a small price to pay.

im from the US, but i live in a state who's maximum penalty is life in prison. And there is a lack of a heathy fear where i live. you wouldn't belive the crimes that happen in my town alone. its unnearving, crimminals have no fear. But i also live on the border with a state the has the death penalty. there crime rate is down dramatically, and there right across a river not 100 yards(im not sure the meter lengh, sorry)wide. so good for you who are pro-death. I hope canada will not have the same problems we have. And of course, being an american, i have a shotgun within 10ft(again sorry), so maybe that has something to do with it. or not, everybody elses is 10 feet(less then a meter i think??) away as well.

I am disgusted. For 1, why the hell don't we have a death penalty? I mean if we do get it back, it is not like someone will be executed everyday. Kill the sickos like Bernardo and Homolka. Or waste our tax dollars on that filth just to watch them get killed the day they get out. Now that will almost be a good investment. People who are against capital punishment obviously have something wrong with them. Were they dropped on their head? How could they possibly want to defend the lives of these so called people? Bring it back and make us all happy.

years ago i talked to a man that just got out of jail for murder, his crime was he killed the man that raped his little sister. he said he had no choice our crimminal system was going to let this animal back on the streets after just a few years. as i talked to this man i realized that this man was right in doing what he did, but if our crimminal system had any back bone he wouldn't have had to. to often people that have never had anything bad happen to them or a loved one, are the ones that make the laws to often there heads are stuck up there own buttsto much to see whats going on around them. today the courts have said that convicted crimminals have the right to vote, so now the crimminals can make the laws to help them continue to what ever crime they want to do, isn't it time that CANADIANS take back the country that ww11 veterens gave thier lives for.

I think Canada should bring back Capital Punishment! How do you justify someone ending another person's life? Imagine for one second it being your own child's life that was taken...How do you get your child back? You can't! Maybe if murderers got more than a slap on the hand, they would think about the consequenses before taking action...PAUL AND CARLA...IF IT WAS MY DECISION YOU'D BE SAYING YOUR GOODBYES!!!

the death penalty should be brought back because if you kill someone and you go to jail for LIFE which is acctually 25 years plus you can get probation so you'll be back on the streets to kill but if you get the death sentence you're dead and won't be able to kill again and if you keep them in jail they might kill in jail so either way they should be killed and not be able to be free to kill again thanx

I have lived through the terror of Paul Bernardo.While the task force was searching for him we were afaid to let our children out to play for fear of them disappearing the same as Kristin French. This man should not be allowed to live . He commited crimes beyond most peoples understanding For him alone I would like to see the death penalty reinstated. His videos alone tell of his guilt, we have no doubt his commited those crimes. His life should be forfit

I also have spent years as a Police Officer and a Prison Officer. The system seems to sink deeper into stupidity. We have Judges?, Lawyers and Politicians( this is a double whammy) when the Politicians turn out to be Lawyers, a two level Professional Liar status. We have nearly 90% of the population of this country says "Hang Them", and we find that a Majority of, is it 258 Members of the House says NO. Can you believe these people work for us and get Big Bucks, Big Benefits and Big Pensions, so they can keep us in great danger due to their stupidity and bleeding heart,do-gooder attitude. In my opinion, this is a case of the Tail Wagging the Dog. How many more of our citizens must be murdered befre something gets done. We continually see murderers being defended by Lawyers, that are being paid from the Public Purse. These Lawyers are fully aware of the guilt of their client,because they demand the full truth from the Client, so that they will face no surprises in court. The Client cantell all, as he knows the Lawyer cannot reveal this to anyone,so he is not afraid. This Layer(An Officer of the Court) can now go into court and plead his Clien innocent,knowing full well that he is lying through his teeth,and doing everything in his power to discredit honest Witnesses, in spite of his Secret Knowledge of the Client's Confession. If any ordinary citizen,falsely testifies, or unlawfully withholds information or evidence in a Capital Case, He/She could be held in contempt of Court and face a sentence of Fourteen Years, as I recall. It is my opinion, that this Lawyers only job is to put any beneficial facts on his Client's behalf. However, when a guilty verdict is handed down, the sentence should be death,to be carried out without delay. There should only be two Appeals allowed, 1. The Provincial Court of Appeal. 2. The Supreme Court of Canada. Then the Gallows. No Fourteen Plus Years of Appeal. No long stay in our Club Med establishments. I urge the Judiciary and the Legal Profession, to start doing an Honest Job for the Citizens of this country and stop the Criminal Foolishness, that has gone on for too long. Get Real, Gentlemen.

I believe capital punishment should be brought back in Canada, especially in cappital cases involving children, but in essence for all drimes where a capital offense has been committed. However, I believe capital punishment should only be inplemented in cases where there is irrefutable evidence of the accused's guilt(i.e., DNA). Society has gone too far the other way - too much leniency and often too many chances for rehabilitation for those who would never rehabilitate. Those who would use the argument for criminals' rights must remember that innocent victims ought to have the ultimate support of society and government for their rights.

Toronto, Ont Canada - Sunday, September 01, 2002 at 10:32:33 (EDT)

YES, I believe that the wicked should be punished for their crimes. I've never had to deal personally with the loss of a loved one at the merciless hands of another. So, Im not about to say "I know how you must feel", because unless it has happened to you, "no one can imagine". But, I would like to say that you have losed something that can never be replaced or forgotten. They may have taken the person from your lives but they can't take away the joy, the memories that person bestowed to you. I somehow wonder though if you let the anger or justified revenge feelings take over and blind your heart to the fact that no one has a right to judge "who dies", then somehow they have taken away more than your loved one. Don't let anyone take away the purity of their memories. A loved ones death need not be contaminated with anothers execution. I believe people who take the life of another will suffer their own torment. I think if they put more thought into what to do with the people now who commit such crimes and not set up the prisons to be like a resort then maybe there would be more thinking twice about commiting evil deeds. There needs to be more discipine on the outside of prison and more avenues for the people at risk to do these things. It can't be wiped out all together and to think that would be unrealistic but when you hear people make comments like "well at least in prison i'd get food, shelter, work, visits", LISTEN, thats alot more than alot of people have. DON'T make the prisons so inviting. Those who choose to take a life give up all rights that belong to the decent folks and deserve the bare neccesities to stay alive. Look in third world countries we have children and adults dying everyday from lack of food and medical care. Children can't even afford to go to school., but... in the civilized so called world, you can take a life and go to jail not to be punished with hard labour and loss of necessities. You can be feed three meals a day, get an education, workout, watch tv. While, people in some countries starve with no luxuries, for committing what, the act of living. Humankind, wake up, use your god given minds to think of ways for a better TODAY!!!!!!!!!!

The worsth is knowing that our taxes help them to live. All this is because of Trudeau and Chretien who have no common sense. I hope that Canada will one day realize that they need to bring back Capital punishment in order to punish criminals so that justice will be done. Please to e-mail me back once you get my comments.

I beleive that Capital punishment should be brought to canada. Not only for those who commit murder but for those who commit the act of pedophilia. These individuals deserve to be punished and removed from sociaty as they are undeserving to live among the innocent.

Canada requires Capital Punishment to deter those sick individuals that have no regard for human life from taking human life. The government never should have abolished it in the first place.

Sick people who admit guilt (or are proven guilty with DNA),admit they will re-offend or already have re-offended (murder, pedophelia) should be dealt with permanently. Innocent lives are in jeopardy with these people alive and capable of freedom (through escape, or a technicality). It really seems like a no-brainer when the evidence is clear and the guilt is absolute.

In late March, 1974, two miserable specimens of subhumanity called Vincent Cockrell and John Miller viciously murdered RCMP Constable Roger Pierlet in Surry, B.C. They intentionally called attention to themselves by hurling a bottle through the courthouse window, and, once pulled over by Pierlet, shot him dead at point blank range. I remember this case vividly, and when, in December 1974, Cockrell and Miller were sentenced to death, I truly hoped they'd hang. It wasn't to be. The Trudeau government was hell-bent on securing abolition, and demonstrated their usual propensity for political dirty tricks and sordid backroom trade offs to ensure the liberal commitment to ending the death penalty was successful. In all, the worthless, miserable lives of eleven of Canada's worst offenders were spared by Parliament's moral cowardice in June, 1976. I have it on good authority, however, that in the course of some latenight, smokefilled room cabinet meeting in late 1975, the government came to an understanding that if they lost the abolition vote in the House of Commons it was going to be necessary to hang somebody simply to save face. The Justice Department presented a list of all eleven murderers then "lying under sentence of death" as the saying goes, and, guess what? Whose names do you fancy were at the very top? You've guessed it: Cockrell and Miller. But for the limpwristed liberals who effectively sold Canada down the river in so many ways, Vincent and John would have fallen through the double steel traps in Oakhala Prison and down the abandoned elevator shaft. No worries about their splattering across the boiler room floor, though. Their downward trejectory would have been halted - abruptly - by the ropes secured about their necks. And good riddance. Yes, it now appears the decision had been made in advance: the Cabinet would have invoked the Royal Preogative in behalf of all but Cockrell and Miller, and possibly Vallaincourt in Toronto. The world would have been unburdened of their presence likely about the time the red and gold leaves began drifting down from the trees in the autumn of 1976 had Parliament possessed the commonsense and backbone of the ordinary Canadian. They didn't, and in consequence of their failure to sustain law and order not only did Roger Pierlet's cowardly murderers avoid their rendezvous with Mr. Arthur Ellis, Public Hangman, but they've since been granted release. What an insufferable effront to their victim! What an unconscionable act of spitting in the face of his survivors! Few today remember the Pierlet murder case, but it should stand as a testament to the failure of Canadian justice, and to the failures of liberal policies in general. I will close by sharing one small historical fact that, without doubt, the parole board chose to ignore, if, indeed, it was ever presented to them. Constable Pierlet was engaged to be married. On March 28, 1974, his mother, father and fiancee disembarked from their flight in Vancouver to be greeted with the news that the loving son, the betrothed, was dead. Bring back the rope? An emphatic "YES." But so long as we're foolish enough to elect and re-elect bleeding heart, politically correct do-gooders, it won't happen.

Just recently, a child rapist and murderer was convicted for the death of little Jessica Russell. Jessica died a horrifying death at the hands of this scumbag. After being raped she was hung by Trott from a bathroom light fixture and then the residence was set on fire. Instead of enjoying the last few weeks of school with her friends and looking forward to summer, Jessica is dead through no fault of her own. Trott was quoted as saying, he will feel "safe" in prison. This is only one case. I've read too, too many over the years, where especially child rapists and murderers are protected and untold millions are spent on their incarceration, supposed rehabilitation, and possible eventual release into our unsuspecting society. We can abort children and tear them from their mothers'wombs but yet we show mercy for the murderer whose only remorse is that life hasn't been more fair to him. Yes, to the death penalty when there is no reasonable doubt.

Capital punishment should be brought back to act as a deterance and to stop these horrible acts to keep continueing. These killers have no respect for other peoples lives and will continue to rape and kill people. Canada Needs the death penalty but only if it's 100% sure it's the right person.

Losing a loved one doesn't scar you, but leaves you with an open, bleeding wound. Capital punishment doesn't bring the victims back, but it sure prevents the murder from twisting a knife into the bleeding wound that he/she has given. The lack of Capital Punishment is ongoing society sanctioned torchure of victim survivors. To be against Captial Punishment is to be in favour of victim torchure.

Capitol punishment is important to the security of society. We do not want convicted murders completing their sentences and then being released back among the public. Eye for an eye, life for a life.Cost: It is cheaper to execute someone than to imprison them and feed them for the rest of their lives. It costs more to let a convict rot in a prison at Joe Taxpayer’s expense than it does to eliminate the threat. Prisons are over crowded as it is, if we fill them with people who are an extreme threat to society, (like murders) then we just have to build more prisons, hire more guards and so on. So why not keep costs down and reduce the risk of public safety at both times. Two birds with one stone.

BRING IT BACK!!!! If a cold blooded killer took life's pleasures away from innocent people then they do not deserve to have ANY pleasures! I agree with some people whan they say that death is too good for some criminals, and that they should be used as lab rats. Some people have no shelter, food, or clothing, I would much rather pay taxes for these prople than pay for the luxuries of murderers in prison. However I do not agree that the criminals immediate families should bee punished too, unless they actually had committed, or had something to do with the crime.

I feel the way I'm sure the majority of informed Canadians feel, outraged that we allow convicted murderers second chances. Capital Punishment should be in effect. The arguement about paying taxes for murders to live is a good one, but why we would even give these monsters(Bernardo,Hamolka,ect) a chance to rehabilitate is beyond me. Did they show any compassion to their victims, far from it. In cases like these, with solid incriminating evidence, the guilty parties should be punished so they never get the chance to commit these horrible acts again. If their guilty is undisputed, then I believe the punishment should fit the crime. This method may not deter violent acts from taking place, but it will assure the guilty parties won't get the chance to do it again. My sympathy goes out to those let down by our criminal system.

I think that capital punnishment should be brought back into Canadafor one reason only and that is so that the big time murderers cant get their men on the street to keep killing for them, while they sit back and enjoy the time that they have to serve in the pen. By punnishing them it will clean up at leastalittle bit of the killing going on around Canada.

"It's clear that Canada needs Capital Punishment, not only as a deterrent, but as a way to properly punish the Clifford Olsons and Paul Bernardos that have no redeeming qualities as human beings." Is what you have said in your article but do the people that are killing these criminals any better then the criminals themselves? Anon once said “ Does it make sense for the state to hire murderers to kill defenseless victims on death row, in order to prove that hiring murderers to kill defenseless victims is morally wrong.” And how much power do you really want to give the government?

The whole point of the death penality is to punish people who commited a crime (most likely murder). By killing the person, you are killing also. People say that a person would not commit such a crime, because of a punishment, such as the death penality. The person who does commit the crime is sick, and he/she most likely wouldnt mind dieing. The death isn't that frightning anyway, they just stick a needle in them, and they basically have a peacful death. I heard one of the parents form the oklahoma bombing say he is at rest knowing that the person responsable for the bombing is dead. Couldn't he be in rest if he was in jail? How many people get out of jail anyway? only in movies do u see, them lieing to the parole board, saying they are changed, in then the parole board believing them, or seeing them digging out, by breaking a cement wall with a pick. I say that they should band the death penalty. Thank you for your time.

It is my belief that capital punishment should DEFINATELY be brought back. What sense does it make to pay thousands of dollars a year to keep people like Paul Bernardo in jail? People like him will never be rehabilitated or be set free. It boggles the mind that we would protect these people from death, not only that but provide food , shelter, clothing and COMFORT! There are decent innocent people in our country who can't afford these things , but our government deems it necessary to supply these for sicko's.

These people are on death row for things like prison and aggravated sex with a minor. DISGUSTING things like that. Anyone who premeditates to kill another human being should be put to death. Citizens of the United states don't have to pay taxes for these sick freaks to be cooped up in prison to rot, but we do.

I have to pay for my education, rent, food, clothing etc. Carla Holmoka has a free degree and never paid a cent. She participated in the deaths of three young girls and when she is let out she will be protected - identity change and moved to another area of the world.As tax payers we pay for that. Forty percent of my income annually goes to pay for crap like this. We are paying for her, Bernardo and Olson. We pay for the extra protection in jail for them and then we will pay for their identity change. Brilliant system! Yes, I strongly believe in CP and I no longer believe in the Justice system in Canada. This world is economically driven so why do we not make an economic choice to hang these people. Their lives are of no value whatsoever. None! What about the victims? I'll glad give up my tax money for rehabilitation for the victims. Why don't we take a vote in this country? Because the damn politicians know the answers. There is no way in hell a sane Canadian would vote to have these killers released in society once again, nor would we agree to pay for many benefits for them.

Yes, i must agree...those who had done various murders should not be living in our society and waste the space in jail cells. But did all criminals acted their crime for pleasure!? Some did but some didn't. and i cannot say that these criminals should be set free, but to my point of perspitive those killers which kill for pleasure is in need for help. because they have difficulties understanding society. and sometimes, us citizens have treated them in a way which deliver a message telling them to revenge us. Innocent people die, yes but those peopel truely need help. even if those we were sacrificed cannot be brought back to life. I also understand the pain of losing someone you care about, it is unbearable. Why not give one a chance to be a better person? instead of losing fate in them?

When someone has murdered another- they have gone over to an evil side - which I believe can not be changed. They have no conscience - there is something obviously wrong with them that can not be fixed. Why do we continue to house dangerous people? Only to set them free once they've served their time? And the only way to protect them from the public is to send them back to jail once they've committed the crime AGAIN??? Let's add this up - How many murders do they have to commit in order to serve their entire (real) lifetime in prison to keep them safe from us? Too many. BRING BACK CAPITOL PUNISHMENT. I can think of better ways to spend the resources that are currently being wasted on the dangerously untreatable. We are all victims. We are just lucky that we haven't been at the wrong place, at the wrong time...yet.

Understandbly, the investigation must be objective otherwise we will end up killing the innocent people like Guy Paul Morin or David Milgaard. However, in cases like Paul Bernardo and Carla Homolka we should kill them since there is no shadow of a doubt that they committed the crime since those sickos videotaped what they did.

Look at Steven Judy in 1981 and others like him and someone explain why someone like him deserves to live after what they did. He raped and strangled two toddlers and then killed their young mother. If you Amnesty preachers want people like that kept alive I have three suggestions. 1 Leave us retentionists alone. 2. Join him or his class in the death chamber and 3, allow someone to assault and strangle you then allow them to kick your corpse off a cliff.You might then understand why everyone hates you so much. Stick to campaigning against true human rights abuse, you might be respected for it.

Another way you the public can help get Capital Punishment back is to campaign for Direct Democracy. This is a system where a referendum is held on an issue that 1 per cent of the electorate sign paper to agree on that issue. Once that becomes law, all is needed is someone like Mr Reynolds to bring up the issue and I can tell you that in Britain and Canada, miles more than 1 per cent would sign a petetition about a Referendum on Capital Punishment! Then people in Amnesty International would have to accept that they are the minority.

Great Website. We need the re-introduction of CP in all European Countries that support its return. I was brought up in the UK and the public have always supported the use of CP. It will become a 'hot' subject as the crime rate increases. Can anybody tell me what is the influence of 'Human Rights' groups like Amnesty International on government policy? Are politicians members of such organisations? Surely there is a conflict of interest where they are. I also believe that the 'human rights' whingers should guard these murderous arseholes and the professionals-police, prison sevice etc can then come along and pick up the pieces when it goes wrong. Also, there should be full disclosure of the various Conventions that outlaw CP and the pressure brought on governments y bodies such as the EU, Council of Europe and the UN. Regards. Neil, Ireland

Hey I'm just a student doing a project about capital punishment and I completely agree with it. Capital punishment is biblical, the bible agrees with capital punishment. Also, the prisoners are taking up jail cell space and taxes are being paid just to lodge murderers and supply them with food. A person who takes a life must have their lives taken away, it is a just punishment. People say "why take another life away, why kill a murderer? Capital punishment is cruel!" Well, it's not cruel, it's a just form of punishment and it's not like the murderers did not know about the consequences of capital punishment when they decided to murder. They knew their consequences and they still decided to take the risk and murder. They ended up on death row because they decided to murder despite the consequences and now they have to face their choice.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT needs to be brought back.To rid the world of these predators.For example CLIFFORD OLSEN ,raped,tortured,murdered,mutalated young people here in B.C.All he got was "LIFE" in prison,which means 25YEARS in CANADA.He WILL be out in 2006,to kill again.These EVIL predators DO NOT STOP.Now IF the DEATH PENALTY had been used in this case we the public would not have to worry about him AGAIN.And i am worried,for his wife and son live approx.10 miles from me,in a rural area named ENGIN,B.C about 18 miles west of Vanderhoof B,C.When he gets out he WILL come to this area.PLEASE CANADA ,PROTECT US.

Criminals have to be detered by being held accountable. The Courts and associated Government Agencies need a complete overhaul. The present Legal System is very distorted/unethical/dysfunctional and abussive and is very detached from the written laws. I am all for Capital Punishment when there is responsability and accountability for those who are trusted with the associated tasks involved with the Legal Process. When you can differentiate between the crooks and the courts. In Canada like all over the world and in particular the Talliban, the criminals run the show to suit their psycho agendas and justify their existance. I am waiting for the Americans to come and rescue us from this spineless/oppressive/abussive so-called law and justice. The Talliban hides behind their distorted version of religion and the Canadian courts hide behind their distorted version of Law and Justice. They are equally demented in their interpretation and actions.

If they had captial punishment everywhere in the world ,Then maybe there would be less crimes ,less people in the world angry because the justice system let them down and less victems taking the law into there own hands and spending there time in jail for the of crimes of the perpetrater.Im sure there is a lot of people who think capital punishment is not the answer I bet alot of these people have not been through what some victemized person has so, unless you have walked a mile in someone elses shoes then you really cant judge the way they think, most killer dont have any feeling and if they where going to be released they would do it again ,so why waist food and paper and time on people that dont need to be here.I believe in capital punishment only if under no doubt that they did the crime then they deserve what they get and that my dear friends is to high price to pay but to DIE

It's a shame that the people of Canada have no voice in whether or not criminals recieve the ultimate punishment. They commit acts against their peers, they are judged by their peers, and should be punished in a manner chosen by their peers.

I believe in the sanctity of human life, but like someone on here said the bible says forgive and forget; it also says an eye for an eye! If all the bleeding heart liberals in this country would start worrying about the innocent law abiding citizens instead of those who main and kill our children and others we'd be much better off..I say bring back the death penalty. Why should our tax dollars go for lodgings and food for these people not to mention education when we have so many in this country who are starving and more deserving of an education and housing to boot! Why pay for them to be put away for a few years to think about what they have done.. I say put them to death and let God judge them as he sees fit, and let him do with them what he wishes!!

Bring back the death penalty. Our lax emmigration laws allow trrrorists and people from other countries that don't care whether they live or die in committing crimes (suicide). They and their immediate families schould pay the price

I think, that's much terrible that one person of the world will be have the capital punishment. i wanted to read out something about the brutality in some united states and what i've seen? somebody love these retual. shit on you! nobody can be died by his mistakes. yes, i know there are big mistakes like the murders, but the dead is their heaven and not their hell. when u give him his life, he had enough time(his whole life) to sit in a prison and to think about his mistakes. why must be kill dealers or normal humans, who smoke a little bit grass I don't understand you and i don't understand the whole USA, because they choose a president, who say "yes" to the capital punishment.. And I wanted to live for three month in canada. No-that was a dream.

If someone steals and gets caught they get a fine of lets say £16/$33(Canadian), why is everyone happy but if a murderer or paedophile gets hanged or shot, why is there outrage by a few? "Execution aint the answer" ,they say, but why is the fine for the thief acceptable, after all it's only the "same" form of punishment as his crime. Or perhaps the liberals have slipped up to the fact that just because the physical aspects of two things are the same, does not in any way mean the moral aspects are the same. One thing is bad, the other good. I think opponents of Capital Punishment somehow have double standards. Does anyone else out there agree with me?

It's simple:"I believe that when a person committs such a unexcusable crime like cold blooded murder, or savage rape that they forfeit their right to life and liberty. Maybe we should be more empathetic to the victims and their familes. If any of my friends or family members were killed by some cold blooded murderer I would want them dead. Not living their life in a room where they can read books and watch tv- that life is probably better then their original one outside prison."

We must protect ourselves and remove repeat offenders. If a dog becomes a threat to humans, it is put down. Why is it different for people? Our execution history is disgraceful, let's do it right and make NO mistakes that they are guilty. Because you shoot someone and they just happen to live thanks to a doctor, it's still should warrant execution if it was premeditated.

Higher murder rates in retentionist countries? Here are some British facts; 1959:Seven Hangings and around 30 reported murders 1962: Three Hangings and 46 murders 1964: Two hangings and 57 murders 1973: Moratorium on Hanging, remains in place to this day 2001: No Hangings and around 700 murders! The murder rate has only gone up in places where there is a Moratorium on the DP, such as Canada and the UK. We need to get of our arses and fight those dickheads in Amnesty International. Us retentionists can win if we campaign... on a GLOBAL SCALE.

We are constently in a state of war against crime, all forms of it. However, when did we accept giving more rights to those who break the law then those that are law-abbiding? If you are willing to kill, you are ready to die.

Talk about double satndards. Well let's talk about Amnesty International. Sacred life, sacred life. What about abortion? The silence is deafning then! Also how can anyone say that the death penalty insults the victims? Isn't it also insulting for a killer to get punishment in the same form as a con man? Now that's insult. The only way you stop killers is by killing them. Let's start doing just that! Could anyone sign the page if they think the same about Amnesty International or the Death Penalty?

We need justice in this country- bring back capital punishment. It is time that we start thinking about the victims of crime, not the criminals. "He who sheds man's blood, let his blood be shed."

i feel capital punishment is definitely something that should be initiated, in the time and age that we live, for violence, terrorism is nothing new why should the old laws soften.

I think the criminal and justice system in Canada today is a joke. We definatley need better laws for punishment for serious crimes as well as many other issues. There's a problem when the justice system can't prosecute known criminals because of some "holes" in the system.

The lack of deterrent punishment has made the justice system a laughing stock in the criminal world. It is radiculed as a namby pamby system with cushy jails and "fuck huts" all easily avialable. Along with this have come Paul Bernardo, Karla Homolka, Clifford olsen and so on, yet the politicians blithely ignore reality and persist in the delusion that this is the right thing to do!!!!

It's nice to see that there are some people in this country that agree with me. If someone kills another, I personally don't feel that a few years in a glorified time out is punnishment enough. Our legal system is built on the principal of rehabilitation, that a person can change and truth to be told... most people do deserve a second chance. Remember, I said most people.

Many of the people on death row, are wanting to die then wait on death row. Which is exactly why they should be punished to live there. What the united states should do is put the men on death row to work. Whether work be putting up fences for the jail or building towers or houses or extra places to put them.

I have been in law enforcement for 18 years. I worked as a policeman and correctional officer and I have seen very little justice. It is only the victims that suffer. Inmates in jail have told me that they will continue to break the law because if they are caught - jails are a "cake walk" (an easy place to live and hang out). The financial gains outweigh any jail time they may receive. If there is no deterrant for an inmate at any level of crime, why would you think that murder/manslaughter would be any different? If our system has harsher sentences including the dealth penalty, future offenders (young offenders) might think twice about violent criminal activity. We need to re-instate the dealth penalty in Canada. It might take ten years or more to see the results of such a change for example we are now seeing the devestating cultural changes from the implementation of the young offenders act in 1982. Decent people are afraid to walk the streets after dark. We definately need a strong legal system to combat crime. Let's start with bringing back capital punishment in Canada!
