What is the difference between murder and manslaughter in Canada?

In Canada, murder is the intentional killing of another person and is classified as either first-degree or second-degree murder. First-degree murder is premeditated, deliberate, or occurs in specific circumstances such as during the commission of another crime (e.g., kidnapping). Second-degree murder is intentional but without premeditation. Manslaughter, on the other hand, is an unlawful killing that occurs without the intent to kill, often due to reckless or negligent actions or during a sudden provocation. The key difference lies in the intent behind the act.
