Death penalty bill reflects quiet battle over public will
In Ottawa, Monday's debate on private member's bill C-212 to reinstate capital punishment for first degree murder highlights a clash between public opinion and government action. Gallup finds 63 percent support nationwide, with 78 percent in BC and 40 percent in Atlantic regions, while MPs from NDP Bloc and Liberal parties oppose it and PC members stay silent. The critic argues referendums and private member bills are blocked, claiming leaders avoid true accountability and pretend to listen.
