Hopefully a Canadian citizen will weigh in on this question - but I do not believe that Canada has a death penalty any longer. Whether there is an exception for this particular crime, or not, I do not know.***EDIT****Yes you can be executed for treason in Canada, its the one thing you can be executed for.
Florida has a death penalty. The highest penalty possible for a capital crime is death.
Actually, opinions on this vary. But the tendency, nowadays, is that a majority of people think that the death penalty is uncivilized. Some arguments against the death penalty is that it is used disproportionately against ethnic minorities (for example, black people in the United States), and that it is irreversible (and there have been many cases where people executed, or people who were planned to be executed, turned out to be innocent). For further arguments, both for and against the death penalty, I suggest you consult the Wikipedia article on "Death penalty".
