The arguement people would make is under clause 12: "Everyone has the right not to be subjected to any cruel and unusual treatment or punishment."

That's nonsense read in by activist judges.

Nothing in the text of the Charter says the death penalty should be banned.
Judges were the ones that changed the law, but the people of Canada never had a say in the change of law.
The abolition of the death penalty was never approved by a popular referendum. The Charter never was either.
What a joke.

As for his personal views. Chretien was a devout catholic but he didnt change the social structure of Canada to support his views did he? Painting Harper as some sort of religious nut is the greatest Liberal spin ever. I just hope people arent dumb enough to buy it.
But Harper won't even take a stand on issues that should pretty much be moot by now...abortion and capital punishment. He brings on the image of being a religious nut all by himself...

even if it goes thru a referendum, it would be rejected massivly.
Canadians are opposed to the death penalty... go cry me a river.

I just hope people don't vote for conservatives JUST to get rid of the liberals cause that's just stupid...vote for what you believe and what matters not just so that someone will lose...the conservatives won't be much better or any different than the libs IMO...

I'm sure they'll be better off this time around (that is if they make it). You know "practice makes perfect" and all that shite.
So what's with the finger mate?.....hasn't anyone told you...Look mate, I'm not pulling your finger

I don't know about that... many people are getting tired of the government sponsoring for life the likes of Paul Bernardo, Karla Homolka...
Then you have the recent child killings in the past few years in Toronto.. the couple that killed and dismembered their daughter... the man who abducted/dismembered Holly Jones.. the Cecilia Zhang (sp?) case.
I'm thinking that in some cases, as terrible as it seems, when the evidence is overwhelming some people currently in club Fed should be put to death.
Spend some time talking to a child that has been sexually assaulted, then tell me how you hope for a long life with 3 meals a day and creature comforts for the person responsible.
