A reprint discusses Canada’s capital punishment history since 1952, noting commutations to life terms under Liberal governments and a possible 1950s Commons vote to abolish the death penalty. It argues life imprisonment with no parole as a humane alternative and questions deterrence, mercy, and justice in capital cases.
