Why did Canada abolish the death penalty?
And why has it never returned — even after some of the country’s most horrific murders?
In this episode of Let’s Talk About Murder, we explore the history of capital punishment in Canada, the final executions, the political battle to end it, wrongful conviction fears, extradition issues, and the psychological and ethical arguments that still divide people today.
We’ll also look at infamous Canadian murder cases that reignited the debate, how Canada’s justice system changed after abolition, and why this issue remains one of the most emotionally charged conversations in criminal justice.
