Huh, coulda swore there was a Conservative opposition claiming this wasn’t possible in Canada because of the Liberals…

g0sh finally we have some common sense.

Wooo! Go team! 

You can always protect yourself in Canada but it has to be reasonable. Shooting an unarmed suspect when they are standing or running away is not called self defence. So shooting armed suspects is self defence.

Great news. That’s the right way to handle this. Glad nobody is going bankrupt trying to stay out of prison. Castle Doctrine is the absolute minimum, Stand Your Ground is better; and, failing that, there’s always Jury Nullification. 

>“Depending on the circumstances of each incident, homeowners can still be held liable for their actions.“

I’m glad the homeowner got off, but we need to change the law so that a homeowner isn’t liable for what happens to a criminal that breaks and enters their home, unarmed or otherwise. 

👍

Canada is healing.
