Actually. What that chart is telling us is that it peaked at 1975 and has been in decline. Which is around the time Canada abolished capital punishment. - Which the quote I posted alludes to.

So essentially you have agreed with me and reinforced my argument with more evidence. Thank you.

You're ignoring the 1967 moratorium which limited capital punishment to murder of police officiers.

But it didn't increase from that point to today. I didn't ignore it. There is a general downward trend since the mid 70's.
