Doug Ford, leader of Ontario Progressive Conservatives, drew criticism for joking about the death penalty at a police gala, referencing 'sparky' while discussing crime. Canada abolished capital punishment in 1976. His spokesperson clarified he does not support it and expressed frustration with the federal bail system. Critics, including Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie, condemned the remarks.
