The current minority Conservative Canadian government has announced it will no longer be seeking clemency for Canadian Ronald Smith who faces the death penalty in Montana . This stunning reversal of Canada's long standing policy was followed just days later by an announcement that our government will no longer be co-sponsoring the UN resolution for worldwide abolition. These policy changes were implemented only a week after the same government had claimed they were making no changes in Canada's death penalty policy, and were done without the consent of the Canadian Parliament or input from the Canadian public. The CCADP is currently engaged in creating strategic partnerships with Canada's Opposition parties, the labour movement, social justice groups, and all Canadians who believe our government should continue to defend its citizens when they face death abroad, and continue it's long held policy on abolition.

On March 23,
1999, CCADP Directors/Co-Founders Dave Parkinson and Tracy Lamourie were invited
to meet with the Italian Ambassador to Canada and Italian Senators Melchiorre
Cirami and Fausto Marchetti as guests of the Italian Embassy in
Ottawa.
The Senators were here to speak with us and our
government about their concern that Canada should not be sending people to the
US to face possible execution.
The Italian Senators were since granted
Intervenor Status in the Supreme Court case fight against the
extradition.
The Supreme Court has handed down a landmark
decision that prevents Canada from extradition to face death sentences, with the
help of Amnesty International, the International Centre for Criminal Law &
Human Rights, the Criminal Lawyers Association, the Washington Association of
Criminal Defence Lawyers, the Senate of the Republic of Italy, and Canadian
Lawyers Clayton Ruby, Ed Greenspan and James Lockyer amongst
others, capital punishment in Canada or against Canadians has been rendered
unconstitutional once and for all. Visit the page the CCADP has set up for
more information on the case and Canada's complicity in this human
rights abuse.
Song Dae Ri - NO LONGER FACES
DEPORTATION
!
Despite the
fact that Song Dae Ri had no involvement in the atrocities of the North Korean
government as a low level government employee, Immigration Canada had labeled
him a war criminal, despite the fact that he has risked his life to claim refuge
in Canada and has already lost his wife as a result. Immigration Canada
was willing to grant his 6 year old son refugee status because he would be
killed if he were to return to North Korea. Immigration Canada had also
acknowledged the fact that Song Dae Ri would also be executed if returned to
North Korea but have labeled him a "War Criminal" not worthy of Canada's
protection for simply being a low level trade official of the Korean government
based in Beijing, a position which gave him and his family the chance to escape
the North Korean dictatorship of Kim Jong-il, a regime that punishes defectors
and their families as traitors for 3 generations. Deputy Prime Minister
Anne McLellan has now stopped the extradition and granted him asylum in
Canada.

Does this mean the end of international law as we know it
?
Toronto,
Ontario, Wednesday, August 12, 1998 — Ontario's Solicitor General Bob
Runciman earlier today called for the reinstatement of capital
punishment.
The Canadian Coalition Against the Death Penalty
finds Mr. Runciman’s comments to be highly inappropriate and needlessly
inflammatory in this time of grief for the family and friends of slain
Metro Police Detective Bill Hancox.
Mr Runciman’s admission
that he favours capital punishment “whether it is or is not an appropriate
deterrent” is vengeful thinking, and serves only to perpetuate the cycle of
violence. In addition it prolongs the grieving process of the
victims family.
A person in Mr. Runciman’s political position should
speak from a factual not an emotional perspective.
With respect to
his comments regarding “- the (Paul) Bernardos of the world, the Clifford Olsons
of the world.”
We would like to remind Mr.Runciman of the David
Milgaards, and the Guy Paul Morins of the world.
Even with “all possible
protections” and fail-safe mechanisms in place, there is no guarantee that
mistakes will not occur.
Some decisions are
irreversible.
