Or how about a Saudi thief who would have his hand chopped off if he was returned?
Canada considers the death penalty inhumane, and our constitution forbids us to send anyone to a country where they will receive inhumane punishment. |

Hypoc8, you didn't answer facedowndeep's question.
If you don't think it's a country's business to dictate how another country punishes its criminals ... then maybe you
would return a gay Iranian to his country, where he might face death by stoning.
But I can't believe you would do that.
Would you?
