To Hang Or Not To Hang

As a form of capital punishment, hanging was introduced to Britain by the Germanic Anglo-Saxon tribes as early as the fifth century. The gallows were an important element in Germanic culture. The worthy Hengist and Horsa and their colleagues used a very rough and out-of-hand method of hanging, one that resembled our clean and tidy modern method in only this respect: it worked quite well.

William the Conqueror subsequently decreed that it should be replaced by castration and blinding for all but the crime of poaching royal deer, but hanging was reintroduced by Henry I as the means of execution for a large number of offences. Although other methods of execution, such as boiling, burning and beheading were frequently used in the medieval period, by the eighteenth century hanging had become the principle punishment for capital crimes.

Hanging in Canada was the primary method of capital punishment for civilians from the colonial era until its abolition in 1998. 
The last executions by hanging took place on December 11, 1962, when Arthur Lucas and Ronald Turpin were executed at Toronto’s Don Jail in a double hanging. Both were found guilty of murder from separate incidents. These days, under Liberal governance, murderers, child molesters, and other criminals go free to repeat offend.

Louis Riel was executed by hanging on November 16, 1885, in Regina, Saskatchewan, for high treason following his leadership in the North-West Rebellion. He was the spiritual and political head of the Métis provisional government during the resistance against the Canadian government’s encroachment on Métis rights and land. Despite a jury recommendation of mercy and widespread appeals for clemency – especially from French Canadians, Prime Minister John A. Macdonald refused to commute the sentence. He may have been sozzled then too. The execution deeply polarized Canada along ethno-religious lines, fueling French Canadian nationalism and alienating the Métis, who viewed Riel as a martyr.

The word ‘treason’ has been bandied about and weaponized lately by chinless pipsqueak premiers and other Cultural Marxist, ‘elbows up’ stooges against anyone demanding that our current governments be held in check from destroying our country.

On February 18, 2026, immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab announced Canada’s plan to recruit foreign soldiers under a new immigration category under the 2026 Express Entry system. It’s aim is to address a critical shortage of ‘qualified’ personnel. This, after the uncontrolled immigration of tens of thousands of military aged men already on Canadian soil. This, after reports of Chinese military training in Canada’s arctic and more recently, reports of armed Chinese security personnel guarding oil installations, and Chinese police stations in Canadian cities, and Chinese influence over Canadian elections. Add in the ongoing program to disarm licensed and law abiding citizens while favoring the use of illegal firearms by criminals and you have a very real potential for civil war sponsored by the current government.

You want treason? You want traitors?

We won’t talk about the Nuremberg hanging, you know, the ones there weren’t enough of.

Now, what to do with the real traitors to our failing Democracy?

There are some men they couldn’t hang.
