Summary
Canada’s public opinion on the death penalty is shifting dramatically—new polling shows 60% now support bringing it back, up from last year. But when given a choice between life without parole and execution, support drops to 49%, with 39% favoring life. Supporters cite justice, deterrence, and closure, while opponents fear wrongful executions. Regional and political divides are stark: Western Canada and Conservatives lead in support, while Quebec and Liberals/NDP lag behind.
