Recently the Conservative Government Announced They Will No Longer Fight For Canadians to be Executed in Foreign Countries. Death penalty costs more: http://www.uvm.edu/~vlrs/doc/deathpenalty.htm

  • What the Conservatives said is that clemency will no longer be automatic.

    If you kill two natives because you're bored, then Canada won't be fighting to keep you alive.

    Or are the lives of two natives not worth the same amount of justice as two white people?

  • Wow thanks just for copying a previous comment you left.

    Let me repeat. We don't have the death penalty in Canada. That means no matter what, Canadians don't get executed. That law against the death penalty is automatic.

    And just as that is, so should clemency.

    You can be as sensationalist as you want, but no where did I even suggest native lives are less then those of white people.

  • I strongly support the dp. You can not fight crime otherwise. it costs too much to keep these people in prison and 15 % of them are retarded and 50 % feeble.

  • It actually costs more to execute someone due to trails and appeals then it would to keep them in jail. FYI Canada and many other countries have a lower crime rate then those countries with the death penalty, not to mention less crowded prisons.

  • Mill disagreed with you

  • Well Mill was wrong on a a lot of things, as so was einstein, da vinci, Aristotle, etc. That's how knowledge works, we build on the mistakes of those that come before us.

  • As of this week, 63% of Canadians are in favor of the death penalty.

    If you are concerned genuinely for right to life, fight for the unborn!

  • When you decide to visit another country - you are bound by the laws of that country while you are in - if you can not abide by their laws - then do not visit their country.

    I expect people who visit Canada to abide by our laws, if they do not - they will face the full penalty of Canadian law - true, we do not have the death penalty - we can only make that particular law for our own country - we do not rule the world. Frankly I do not think you should commit murder in any country!

  • STEVEN m WOODS did NOT take 2 cousins into the woods and shoot them. He took on eman out of the car and shot him at POINT BLANK range, then stabbed(NOT CUT) his 'friends' throat. Guess my sister was the lucky one- she was shot in the knee (so she couldnt run) had her throat slit, and was shot in the head. I can not even begin to imagine the fear in her as she crawled away...

    Your post may not have been "sensationalist", but it was very incomplete and misleading. You didn't say what Ronald Smith did or name his victims. Clearly you are more concerned with the interests of a murderer then the interests of his victims and their families (who said wanted Smith to get the dp). I'm glad to see the Canadian government does not feel the same way.

  • ALWAYS? Do some homework!

  • I was hoping this was a video about Stephen Harper getting the death penaly. I guess we can only dream.

  • 1) If you go to a foreign country, you are subject to their laws and punishments. Being Canadian doesn't give you a right to come to my country, murder someone, and get saved by the Canadian government.

    2) What's your position on abortion? I'm just dying to know.

  • So you're saying Canadians have a right to life, but Harvey Mad Man and Thomas Running Rabbit did not? All they did was offer him a ride on the highway.

    No, I'm sure you're not saying that. This guy is bye bye. He doesn't get my sympathy nor my money.

    When you go abroad: follow the rules of that country. You may not agree with it, but it is NOT your country.

  • Think of all the taxes we're paying just to entertain the thought that this guy should be sent back to Canada.

    Think even more about the cost of hiving this story on a national broadcaster.

    Read the Wikipedia article on him. The guy is a scumbag!

    I think Canadians should think twice about murdering citizens abroad and expecting that our hard-earned money is going to help pay to get them off the hook.

    Fry.
