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

 @9KDYD2Wfrom Saskatchewan  answered…1yr1Y

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

 @97VCSDTanswered…2yrs2Y

For those who commit sexual crimes upon children.

 @9H8JRFDfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

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

 @9FDJCNGfrom Manitoba  answered…2yrs2Y

no, i don't think the death penalty should be allowed at all.

 @9KDYHHZfrom Saskatchewan  answered…1yr1Y

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

 @9LMMHM7from Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

Yes, but the victim's family should decide, and only if it is a horrific crime with undeniable evidence

 @9JZV4G6from Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

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%

Ukraine Unveils Secret Arsenal to Force Russia's Hand

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy unveiled his much anticipated "Victory Plan" at Ukraine's parliament on Wednesday, urging his war-weary country to stay united at a precarious time ahead of its key U.S. ally's Nov. 5 presidential election.As Russian troops advance in the east and a bleak winter of power shortages looms, he told lawmakers his plan contained five main points that relied on Kyiv's allies, including an unconditional invite to join NATO and specific weapons support."Together with our partners, we must change the circumstances so that the war ends. Regardless of what Putin wants. We must all change the circumstances so that Russia is forced to peace," he told lawmakers and top officials.His third point emphasised the need for Ukraine to acquire a non-nuclear deterrence capacity that he said would be enough to destroy Russian military power. He did not elaborate, but said there was an additional secret addendum that he could not disclose.The plan, he said, also envisaged a Western role defending Ukraine's natural mineral resources from Russian attacks as well as post-war reconstruction pledges.The speech was attended by his top military, intelligence and political brass as well as lawmakers, some of whom occasionally stood up to applaud.Ukraine faces both difficulties and uncertainty ahead of the U.S. election that could return Donald Trump to the White House.The Republican former president has pledged to rapidly end the war before entering office if he wins, an idea that Kyiv's supporters fear would involve big concessions in the name of a quick deal.Zelenskiy met U.S. President Joe Biden, his key ally, in Washington at the end of the September to present the plan. In a subsequent whirlwind tour of Europe, he met the leaders of Britain, France, Italy and Germany to discuss it.Zelenskiy said he would travel to summit of European Union leaders in Brussels on Thursday to present his plan.
