Felony disenfranchisement is the exclusion from voting of people otherwise eligible to vote due to conviction of a criminal offense, usually restricted to the more serious class of crimes deemed felonies. Prisoners and those convicted of felonies have full voting rights in Canada.
@52855FW3yrs3Y
no-we do not want felons deciding how our country should be run-if they wanted rights they would not have tried to take rights away from others
@4TY9MHN3yrs3Y
Absolutely not. When you commit a crime and are sentenced to jail you lose all right to have a say in our government.
@9LBFNHZ3wks3W
No But depends what they did, if it was a drug use crime than i dont why they shouldnt be able to vote
@9KDXF552mos2MO

@9KCKVS6New Democratic2mos2MO
Only depending on their crime if it’s super bad no if you did something not so bad they can vote Don’t kill my kid then expect to vote. 🖕🖕🖕🖕
@9K6HR9K2mos2MO
Were not gonna have elections installed, and he's probably dead as we know it, i believe different from communists btw.
@9FM9QN97mos7MO
No, voting is a serious matter to be done rightfully. Convicted criminals are unlawful humans who would not contribute to the better of society. Voters need to be in the right state of mind and should decide for the best.
@9F5KMPV8mos8MO
Everyone should be able to vote. Criminals are citizens too and voting should be a right.
@9DK2XHH8mos8MO
If someone is never going to leave prison, they shouldn't be voting, but if someone has a high likelihood of rehabilitation, they should maintain their right to vote
@9D4YF47Libertarian9mos9MO

@952NWZX2yrs2Y
Yes, except for those who are accused of corruption, murder and graft.
It really depends on the degree of the crime itself.
@94CXG6G2yrs2Y
It depends on the degree of the crime. If they committed petty theft for example and have served their sentence then they should be given back the right to vote.
@948HWJQ2yrs2Y
As long as they are paying taxes and were not convicted of a felony.
@945RR7P2yrs2Y
No, as every criminal shall be refrain from any political and human rights
No, Only when they have proven they are not a threat and that they are psychologically ok
@93VMDLR2yrs2Y
Those convicted of crimes where the crown proceeded by indictment should have no right to vote.
@93SYQ9X2yrs2Y
If they're not psychologically proven to be a sociopath, psychopath or crazy person.
I believe they should be allowed to vote as long as they are in their right mind .
@93RGPVX2yrs2Y
If you have been in jail for 5 years or longer I don’t feel you have the right for that election
@93Q7B6HNew Democratic2yrs2Y
Yes as long as the crime they commited was not a hate crime towards another.
