Summary
During a campaign rally in Nisku on April 7, 2025, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre reiterated his commitment to employing the Constitution’s notwithstanding clause to reinstate consecutive life sentences for mass murderers, following a Supreme Court ruling that overturned such sentences. Poilievre argued that allowing notorious killers to be released early undermines public safety and the rights of law-abiding citizens. He emphasized that a life sentence should mean a lifetime in prison, asserting his focus on criminal justice legislation in this context.
