Sifting through the European '5 things you didn't know about my country" thread, I just remembered another thing about Canada.
The death penalty was removed from the Criminal Code of Canada in 1976. Despite this, Canada still had had the death penalty as part of the Canada National Defense Act. It was only reserved for military members who committed treason or mutiny. No one was ever sentenced to death under this law, but in 1998, the law was changed to match the Criminal Code of Canada.
