Abbotsford Officer Lost
My saddest condolences to the Abbotsford Police Officer, his family and his peers at this tragic time. He was lost while defending the public from a car thief.

No one goes to work thinking it will happen and this brave man paid the final and ultimate price while safe guarding people like ourselves. I cannot imagine the pain his family is feeling. He will never be forgotten.
Please let the courts make a supreme example of this murderer and thief. Am I correct in thinking execution is an option when a police officer is taken from us?

You are not correct. Capital punishment does not exist in Canada.
Why use a big word when a diminutive one will suffice.

Re: Abbotsford Officer Lost
The charge would be first degree murder.

In 1976 capital punishment was removed from the Canadian Criminal Code. It was replaced with a mandatory life sentence without possibility of parole for 25 years for all first-degree murders.
In 1998 the Canadian National Defence Act was changed to remove the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment with no eligibility for parole for 25 years. This brought Canadian military law in line with the civil law in Canada.

Thank you for clarifying that and also for your information H20. I'll be the first among millions to call for change.
I seem to recall something being different about sentencing under circumstances like this.

Re: Abbotsford Officer Lost
First degree murder should be life with no parole ever. You take a life you forfeit yours.

My definition of Life in prison & the Canadian justice system definition, is very much different.
There's is 25 years without parole, mine has a coffin evolve... hence life in prison.
I don't give a damn whether people/posters like me or dislike me, I'm not on earth to win any popularity contests.

Re: Abbotsford Officer Lost
Imagine the legacy if just one lost officer finally triggered some change in Canadian justice and how it is metered out. I can't speak for anyone but myself but some change would be a good thing. It might even create a deterrent.

Re: Abbotsford Officer Lost
Short of some insanity plea, I don't think there will be any doubt in this instance as to who's guilty and who's not. That is what I am referring to.
Capital punishment, in my mind, is a fair trade for any police officers life when there is proof of guilt. Given the location of the crime in question, there is probably security footage of the whole event.
I guess what I'm getting at is that we Canadians need to harden up. Often these blights take their own life before we can deal with them.

Unfortunately capital punishment won't be reinstated any time soon.
