thread_title:  Killing Police 

message: I would like to preface that I abhore the death penalty and believe it is appealing to the worse in people and it costs the government more then life w/o parole and it does not deter crime  . But the US has it as a punishment to tell the jurors  what to do is  interfering with the law outside of Canada that only encourages murders to go north . The main problem is that can cause people to get less punishment because they are near Canada.74.67.177.37 (talk) 21:47, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm dubious about the existence of the person, or rather, pseudonym.  I can find no reliable sources on Google News, Books or Scholar, and the Google Books search gives no hits within the cited Hustak, Alan, "They were hanged".  I don't have any access to the rather obscure report Joint Committee on Capital and Corporal Punishment and Lotteries.  Can anyone confirm this section?

message: This article states, "Capital punishment in Canada dates back to 1749." But it appears that it had been imposed quite a bit before that: e.g., Francoise Duverger (1671), Jacques Bertault (1672), Marie Quequejeu (1684). Langrel (talk) 05:27, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Capital punishment before 1749 

message: An article in the Montreal Gazette refers to a man being sentenced to be hanged, drawn, and quartered in 1797. http://www.montrealgazette.com/American+hanged+treason+example+Canadiens/6533512/story.html  While the article ends by saying that he was in the end hanged until dead, and not taken down alive, it does not indicate that this punishment was never heard of.--Richardson mcphillips (talk) 01:09, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  method of execution 

message: The article states that Canada became a british colony in 1749, though New-France fell to british troops only in 1759. As I think it is an error, I'm correcting it right now.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.192.234.104 (talk) 17:47, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: It's odd that the lead section of the article does not have any information on when capital punishment ceased to be legal in Canada, but does have a detailed paragraph about a failed attempt to revive capital punishment in the 1980s.  The lead should focus on the current state of the law in Canada, including when the law last change to ban capital punishment, and unsuccessful efforts to change the law should be set out in the History section of the article. --209.202.119.246 (talk) 18:22, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

message: It would be useful to clarify if executions had been carried out by federal authorities, provincial authorities, or both, or at some other level.  May have changed over time. Ian mckenzie (talk) 23:22, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
