Do you know how many people die in Canada every year . Over 500 people die from Murder every year. This is a very high rate since Canada's population is very small. The capital punishment of death penalty has a very clear connection with homicide rates. I think the death penalty should be legal in Canada. Since so many people are getting murdered and so many heinous criminals have the courage to kill someone they should get a taste of their own medicine and should be killed as brutally as they killed their victim.

But if you knew that if you commit murder you will receive a capital punishment of death penalty you would think a 100 times before you do it because if you get caught will
