ChatGPT Party Research

Agree

No, I do not believe in the death penalty

Canada abolished the death penalty in 1976, and the PPC has not expressed any intention to reinstate it. Given their focus on individual freedom and limited government intervention, it is likely that they would not support the death penalty in general, including for drug traffickers.

No

Yes, but only if they are repeated offenders

Disagree

Yes, as long as they are given a fair trial

Disagree

Yes, but only if there is proof someone died from the drugs they trafficked

The PPC does not have a specific policy on the death penalty for drug traffickers when there is proof someone died from the drugs they trafficked.
