The majority of Canadians would agree with bringing back the death penalty for murder, according to a new poll by Research Co.

Of 1,000 Canadian adults polled between March 10 to March 12, 54 percent said they supported capital punishment for those convicted of murder, a three point increase since a similar poll roughly one year ago, in February 2022.
