So, actual sane Canadian here;
The death penalty has been shitty in every regard and the only defenses people throw at it don't hold up to statistical analysis. Innocent people have hung and It's been proven it doesn't even deter would be criminals so there goes the major argument for it. https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/canadas-successful-experience-abolition-death-penalty
In '83,. 20 years after the last hanging they noted lower crime rates and safer police officers. Execution is a public martyring for serial killers and in some ways exactly what they want so they go all out. A life sentence on the other hand sucks ass and you actually have to live through.
as for the actual study, it's weak af. 1000 Canadians, and this website has been repeatedly asking the same question. and it's only framed "for murderers" which is dehumanizing language in itself. But, ~70% of conservatives are bloodthirsty maniacs so it pushed it just past 50. But I'd also argue that most conservatives are so uninformed it's basically weaponized at this point, so if you fall in that venn overlap the onus is on you to "do your own research" but actually stick with real sources and not the alternate misinformation rabbit hole where you can't get original studies if you try. Be mindful when an article is telling you exactly what to think.
Folks folks Tuchodi, fat pervert here
I don’t think pedophiles deserve death.
They are just misunderstood monsters.
But, unvaccinated and need a kidney transplant? DEATH SENTENCE!!!!!
Sentence all unvaxxed to death.
If you refuse Government testing deadly drugs on you:
You deserve a death sentence for refusing.
Paul Bernardo is cool.
That's a whole lot of faith put in the justice system. You really think they can sus out someone's innocence or guilt enough to justify killing them? Even if they are for sure guilty, is there a chance rehabilitation could have worked? It also costs way more to kill them then to house them for even a decade so you're not saving money or really benefiting anybody.
