Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre has declared that individuals convicted of murder will face life in prison with no chance of release. He emphasized that perpetrators of mass murder will be denied bail and, in his words, "Multiple-murderers should only come out in a box."
Poilievre stated that he plans to introduce legislation in Parliament that would empower judges to hand down life sentences for multiple murder convictions, all while respecting the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The announcement came during Poilievre’s visit to Montreal this morning and reflects his continued tough stance on crime. Previously, he pledged to introduce laws mandating life imprisonment for individuals found guilty of human trafficking, gun smuggling, and fentanyl trafficking.
