Abstract: In our presentation of the seven most important hangmen in Canada, we have surmised that many of them were likely psychopaths, although in a few cases we lack enough evidence to come to that conclusion. In any case, they were usually unsavory characters. If readers disagree, I hope that this focus on the hangmen of Canada, not only dispels many myths about them, but also is a contribution more broadly to the history of crime and punishment in Canada.
