Capital Punishment was first halted in 1962 by John Diefenbaker, a famous criminal defence attorney who believed that the executions of dangerous criminals were inhumane no matter how notorious these offenders were. In the year of 1976, Prime Minister Trudeau abolished capital punishment altogether claiming that it had no effect on criminal rates in Canada. Yet, did Diefenbaker or Trudeau consider what kind of affect the loss of capital punishment would have on the future of Canada? ... It is for these reasons and more that capital punishment should return to Canadian society. ...
Because capital punishment is a very controversial topic, there are decent points to banishing it. ... Finally, a general point that leaves individuals agreeing is that there has been no difference in crime rates when capital punishment was taken away.
Though these points are very understandable and can lead citizens to believe there should be no capital punishment, there are many missing details. ...
Pierre Elliott Trudeau accomplished many wonderful tasks during his reign as the Prime Minister, but the abolishment of capital punishment does not seem to be one of them. ... If there is one lesson that should be learned from this essay, it is that capital punishment must return for the good of Canadian society.
