Amnesty International Condemns Canada on Death Penalty

So, Amnesty International is condemning Canada for being soft on the death penalty. I mostly agree with them. The problem isn’t Canada the nation, it’s the conservative government. Canadians are still largely against the death penalty, and support the idea that we should not extradite criminals if they are to face the death penalty, and support the idea that we should request clemency for Canadian citizens facing the death penalty in other nations.

The ConservativesReform Party, on the other hand, are a bunch of rednecks who would love to see it brought back. So, they come up with excuses as to why they’re backpedaling on forty years of precedent. They sound as lame as the Republicans do south of us.

It’s really too bad that Dion’s Liberals are too lily-livered to come up with real positions that the ConservativesReform Party can’t respond to without sounding like the rednecks they are. Or that real Progressive Conservatives can’t stand up and take their party back from Stephen Harper’s rednecks.
