Capital punishment in Canada dates back to Canada's earliest history, including its period as a French colony and, after 1759, its time as a British colony. From 1867 to the elimination of the death penalty for murder on July 14, 1976, 1,481 people had been sentenced to death, and 710 had been executed. Of those executed, 697 were men and 13 were women.
