| Law and order OPP commissioner doesn't show respect for the law |

I read an article in today's Hamilton Spectator about some of the comments made by Ontario's OPP commissioner Julian Fantino, while addressing the Hamilton Canadian Club. One of them really stuck out in my head, and made me think that the tough law-and-order head of Ontario's provincial police, is showing disrespect for the law of the land, and the citizens of Canada. The last comment in the article was that he supports the return of the death penalty in some cases, with the quote "Let me buy the first six feet of rope." Well, the fact is, the death penalty was abolished in Canada a long time ago, and currently a majority (56%) of Canadians do not support the death penalty. While a person may have their own personal views on the death penalty, a public law enforcement official should not be publicly declaring his support for the death penalty, and instead should share only the official view appropriate to his role, which would be to respect the fact that the abolition of the death penalty is the law in Canada, and that the majority of the people he serves do not support it.
