Serious crime yes, but in the case of the truck driver in Humboldt I think he made a grave mistake not a criminally guided decision
@92M8FFH3yrs3Y
If they haven't received citizenship they yes provided the country of origin isn't in turmoil or unsafe. Doing so would be equivalent to a death sentence. If they have received citizenship then no, they should serve their time like ALL Canadians who commit a serious crime would.
@8YSMPH23yrs3Y
no, they should just serve their crime
@8XQJMGC3yrs3Y
They should have the same sentencing as what is expected for the crime committed and then should be evaluated at the end to see if they should stay in canada.
@8VP5CQF4yrs4Y
Yes, if they deserve it.
@8VN2WGT4yrs4Y
Every situation is different
@8VKGLC84yrs4Y
stuck between no and yes but only if it's safe for them to return.
@8VJFQJN4yrs4Y
No but if the serious crime requires jail time they should not be treated with any more or less punishment then a citizen
@8VF2XNBNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Only depending on the type of crime and if it was intentional. And if it is safe to return to their home country
@8VCTQ9F4yrs4Y
they should be in jail (if the crime is worthy of jail time) in the country that they are currently in.
@8V84GCM4yrs4Y
no but they still have to go to jail for a couple of years depending on what kind of crime they comited.
@8RDGMY34yrs4Y
If it was self-defence then no. If not, they should be punished in a way.
@8P6S8SD4yrs4Y
No, only if they have entered the country illegally, or if they are not a Canadian citizen.
@8CTWWHTConservative5yrs5Y
yes, as long as it is safe for them to return to their country. if it is not safe then they will have to serve their sentence in the country they immigrated to and once they're done serving they will return back to their country if it is safe to do so.
I think they should just be given a life sentence no need to deport them u don’t know how there country is
@999L76K2yrs2Y
It depends, but mostly no. Deporting criminal immigrant doesn't get rid of the problem and just projects that issue onto another country.
@999DNDR2yrs2Y
Depends on the crime, get good input, then decide
@8VKXN9KConservative4yrs4Y
yes if it is a serious enough crime and is going to become an issue if they do not end up going back.
@8V64D524yrs4Y
should be left in the hands of the courts not in some arbitrary law legislated in Parliament, such as minimum sentencing
