Again, I understand people's arguments in favour of capital punishment, but to my way of thinking, it's barbaric and uncivilized and as a society we should constantly be seeking to find ways to improve ourselves. For all the "weeding out the deviant and dangerous" arguments, capital punishment has never been shown to be an effective deterrent, and is nothing more than lazy vengeance.
We are better than that.

Well even though we are discussing it. Reality is it won't happen again in Canada. Way to controversal of a subject, I can't see any elected government risking bringing it back.
