Why should tax payers pay for the keep and we'll being of killers like Bernardo. Or Rafferty....we belive in a jury in this country and thy should have the right to recommend the death penalty in cases like these...

Why ? Because a majority of Canadians say we should.

Yes it would be sad if a innocent person was put to death by mistake but when you look at the big picture - how many innocent soldiers were sent to die in battle, how many innocent people die in car crashes - how many sick people die and they didn't do anything wrong - getting killed even when you did nothing wrong is a risk you take for being alive -

Joepa, that's some pretty weird logic right there?

Turdo, the gel hair kid, was not voted in with a majority of votes. The libs got their majority govt. with less than 40% of the people who voted.

Unfortunately,you're correct. The "3M of justice" struck terror into the heart of the judicial system in Canada. The David Milgard,Donald Marshall and Guy Paul Morin cases have all but guaranteed that we'll never have capital punishment in this country.

This is the problem, it does not matter how many are justified if you get one wrong, if you murder one innocent person then you are no better than the murders.

Yes it would be sad if a innocent person was put to death by mistake but when you look at the big picture - how many innocent soldiers were sent to die in battle, how many innocent people die in car crashes - how many sick people die and they didn't do anything wrong - getting killed even when you did nothing wrong is a risk you take for being alive -

So you are saying that the soldiers, car crash victims, sick kids, is justifiable and we should simply except that these people will die so we should not be worried about killing more innocent people, makes a lot of sense to me.

We're have some people in Canadian prisons who need to be executed. Just look at the child killers from Ontario the last few years. Yes that punk from Woodstock that killed that littel girl needs to meet his end...yes Canada should bring back the death penalty for these kinds of cases

Those cases happened many years ago, some cops were tunnel visioned.
In this day and age it is very unlikely to happen with the science used in investigations, dna etc., plus the fact that in many cases the perpetrator pleads guilty that right there should sign their fate. "YOU ARE NO LONGER A MEMBER OF THIS EARTH"

Killers, Rapists, Child Molesters, have no right to live in my society !

I agree with you, there are some really bad people out there but take for instance your son/daughter is at a party. There is an argument and everyone goes home. Later that night the police show up to your child's residence and arrests them for the stabbing death of one of the party goers. Your child has been known to be a little angry when drinking and the people at the party all say that your child was the one who was in an altercation with this person who was killed. It goes to court and your child is convicted of murder and sentenced to death. You do not believe they did it but they are up on death row. How do you feel? These convictions are never cut and dry.

Don't forget Bernardo and his wife Homolka, neither one of them has a right to live, there are many others like them.

Here is a nice big list of people who were wrongfully convicted and many of them would have been put up for execution if that were allowed.

The guy on at the top was convicted of the murder of his girlfriend in 1990, I guess that is a long time ago and they should not make those errors anymore but when prosecutors, the public and the police want someone to be guilty it is really difficult to get them off, even when they are 100% innocent.

Only the person who is the murderer knows for sure, even eye witnesses are wrong very often.

Your wrong with that. The majority of Canadians actually favour capital punishment.
We are not a lot different from Americans on that subject.
In both countries, about 60% are in favour of it.

WR you are right about those figures , BUT only 40% of Canadians want it reinstated. Most do not want to join these countries that execute people. The top 10 are...... China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, USA, Pakistan,Yemen, N. Korea, Vietnam, Libya. Ya we want to join that group....NOT.
