No, any use of the death penalty at any level of government is a clear violation of The Ten Commandments and I strongly oppose any and all effort to reinstate it

 @9KDYHHZfrom Saskatchewan answered…4wks4W

I think it would only be fair if the victims family got to choose but they should be 100% proven guilty. Too many innocent lives were taken due to false sentences

 @9KDYD2Wfrom Saskatchewan answered…4wks4W

I believe the victim’s family should decide. However, I also believe that the person found guilty needs to thoroughly be proven guilty.

 @9K58RGLfrom Yukon Territory answered…1mo1MO

Yes, but only with substantial clear evidence and only with the purpose of completely eliminating the possibility of that crime occurring by the same person a second time. Punishment is a waste, 100% prevention is worthwhile but only with crimes where the risk of recidivism is extreme. Child abuse, murder, sex trafficking, and so forth

 @9JZV4G6Conservativefrom Ontario answered…1mo1MO

I support it, with irrevocable proof. But I also know a lot that were on death row, were innocently convicted. But the amount of money that would go into retrial, was hefty back then. Serial killers should, receive the death penalty. 100%

 @9JWMJCZ from Ontario answered…1mo1MO

We need to find out who's guilty and who's not guilty. And the family can choose the kind of torture is it from their country or way?

 @9JRVZFSfrom Alberta answered…2mos2MO

No. I believe our justice system has a lot more growing to do concerning its own prejudices and beliefs before deciding the fate of an individual.

 @9JBXLXSfrom Ontario answered…2mos2MO

It depends on the crime. Those who abuse children, especially Autistic children who went through ABA (applied behavioural analysis, which is objectively abusive, many Autistics myself included have had PTSD from it. Look it up), or are cops who kill POC or disabled people, vilify them based on race, sexual orientation or disability. Like George Floyd’s killer for example absolutely deserved it more than anything. Those who are clearly mentally ill should go to a mental health institution but provide rehabilitation so they are no longer a danger. But both the victims family or even the perpetrator should decide the punishment. It’s a complex answer.

 @9H8NFDBfrom Ontario answered…4mos4MO

Yes, if a serious crime was committed and should be the victim’s family choice for the death penalty

 @9H8JRFDfrom Ontario answered…4mos4MO

I think the victim’s family should have a say on the punishment but I think the death penalty should be replaced with a testing penalty and all serious criminals should be used for product testing instead of animals

 @9GZYG4Jfrom Quebec answered…4mos4MO

Yes, for Homicide, mass murderer, serial killer, terrorist, rape, crime against children, crime against humanity and act of treason against the peoples of Canada.

 @8VJM572from Alberta answered…3yrs3Y

No, and the prison system should be focused on rehabilitation instead of punishment

 @8VJ45NWfrom Nova Scotia answered…3yrs3Y

 @8VJ2V7Vfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

Yes and no. While I think they don’t deserve to live, spending the rest of life in prison is what they deserve

 @8VDH474from British Columbia answered…3yrs3Y

Instead of the death penalty, subjects should be studied in captivity to better understand mental health and warning signs.

 @8VDGRKTfrom Alberta answered…3yrs3Y

No the death penalty cost to much, hard labour in life in prison for funding back to the tax payers (or use it to fund prisons so tax money doesn't have to go there)

 @8V78LVBfrom British Columbia answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, only for uncurable psychopaths who will always be a danger to society, and can never be rehabilitated due to mental derangement. Done as a mercy, not as a punishment, or revenge.

 @8V6LTBWfrom British Columbia answered…3yrs3Y

Prisoners should be contributing to the economy in some manner. Paying their living expenses through meaningful labor.

 @8V5TPXXNew Democraticfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

No, but there should be a reform of how our prison structure is modelled to reflect an interest in rehabilitation. There should also be more funded mental health outreach, particularly in communities at risk for breeding crime. Mental health services in prisons as well that are geared toward reform.

 @8V5DSQMPeople’sfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

No, the government has no right to determine the end of somebody’s life.

 @8V47RFDfrom British Columbia answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence, and repeat offenders who show no sign of remorse or change.

 @8V22D8Yfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

No, (depending on the crime) There should be more rehabilitation programs in prison or opportunities given available to prisoners to live a mentally comfortable life

 @8TZ796Jfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence and continue to be a danger to those around them

 @Steeviemacfrom British Columbia answered…3yrs3Y

No, but life sentences in lieu of the death penalty should be without parole and without the socialization or training benefits other inmates receive.

 @8TWTQB7from Nova Scotia answered…3yrs3Y

No, but we need to reform our criminal justice system. Too many people are released too early only to re offend.

 @8TWGPKHfrom Alberta answered…3yrs3Y

Criminals should have the ability to choose whether they wish to serve a life sentence, or suffer the death penalty.

 @8TVXKK4from British Columbia answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but the convicted should be allowed to choose it as an alternative to a prison sentence

 @8TVQYLPfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

No, the focus should be on rehabilitation and reintegration, not corporal punishment.

 @8TVGH7Lfrom Newfoundland answered…3yrs3Y

 @8TV88B5New Democraticfrom Saskatchewan answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but only for heinous crimes such as betraying the country (not whistleblowers) or acts exploring the vulnerable in horrific ways

 @8TNDXCTfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, for all crimes leading to death of a victim and certain international crimes, i.e. Nuremberg Code, but the victim's family should have a say in the punishment.

 @8TKX5JGfrom British Columbia answered…3yrs3Y

Yes but only if the individual being sentenced has absolutely been proven guilty.

 @8TCK7HGConservativefrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

 @8T9WJLTfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

 @8T5RFQKfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

Regardless, with heinous crime(s), the victim(s) family(s) should decide the punishment.

 @8T3T55PConservativefrom Ontario commented…3yrs3Y

I’ve heard sometimes the death penalty can cost more than keeping them alive with all the court costs and hearing. I’m not sure though. If it’s really between killing people or prison we could just decrease the quality of prison to make up for cost. I guess I only care about costs.

 @8SYYW9Yfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

The offender should be allowed to choose between a life sentence and a death sentence

 @8SLS73Sfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

Only President or working in the government that are Traitor to their own People that they serve or people working in the military selling out our country

 @8SJCDNNfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

 @8SF7HN3from Quebec answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but only for horrific crimes or crimes involving the abuse/neglect of children with undeniable evidence.
