Too many loopholes, too many inconsistencies... Are the Tories really trying to pull a fast one over Canadian citizens?
The idea of capital punishment has been an issue that has set aside Canada from many other industrialized countries in the world. The fact is that Canada has set a precedence as the leading nation against capital punishment. It has been a trademark that Canadians have upheld for several decades.
The idea of capital punishment has been an issue that segregates the political parties in Canada. The Liberal Party, and the New Democratic Party has stood firm in defending the idea of anti- capital punishment. The Progressive Conservative Party, however, have been known to be more right-winged, and have a strong American affiliation influence. Although never inadvertently outspoken, their party has been known to have strong views on capital punishment, and amending the idea of anti-capital punishment in Canada.
Today, the Progressive Conservative Party has com into power. Many people worry that now that they have power, they may try to implement their radical ideas into Canadian society, which has many people worried. There is no middle-ground when it comes to the idea of capital punishment: either you are for or against it. Other political party leaders have come out and stated their ideas of capital punishment openly, but no word has been given by Stephen Harper. Should Canadians be worried that we may adopt ideas that support the American culture? It has already began with the idea that Canadians can be executed in other countries, but who is to say that by accepting those terms, Canadians are not opening the doors to allowing politicians to change the face of Canadian culture and its values and beliefs. I strongly believe that if you commit a crime in another country, those country's laws should be implemented when facing our consequences: death penalty or not. But Canada itself should not allow politicians to tell us whether someone should be executed or not, because we are one step closer to adopting the American culture, and integrating it into our free, democratic society.
