A castle law? I believe that Albertan secessionists hope to have one after we exit Canada.

Canada is broken. The sooner folks wake up the better off we will all be, that is except the Marxists.

While deployed overseas while in the CAF, we were told not to use lethal force to protect equipment unless it was deemed mission critical. This is to say, if a person or people (as is mostly the case) wanted to steal say, a Heavy Logistical Truck, we were told to allow them to have the equipment. A tough pill to swallow, but those were the rules - these rules were found in what was called Rules Of Engagement (ROEs) and the only people that knew the ROEs better than us, were the belligerents - they knew exactly how far they could go.

And those criminals who made the rules

Yes but that was the "Crowns" property. Not an individuals. We as private citizens have the right and responsibility to protect ourselves and family. Lethal force is also allowed for a citizen arrest. ( under certain criteria )

Canada is broken! Canada’s Confederation is fragile at best. It’s been an interprovincial relationship based largely on coercion, guilt and arrogant traits and tactics of the Family Compact/Upper & Lower Canada!

Justice Martin isn't liberal; she's progressive. And that's not a good thing.

What I really don’t like about Canadians is, everything needs to be compared to America, and it’s only good if it has an “Canadian root”.

Is the right to defend oneself an American idea, or a human idea? Anyone with a working brain wants to at least have the option to self-defend when threatened.

Yet, because Americans are famous for self-defense-related laws, so Canada must not have it because it’s American idea and wE aRe BeTtEr!

Canadians hate American more than they love their own well being.

Actually Canadians hate themselves because it's the way of the Marxists ideology brainwashed into them.

Brian Lilley, People should have exactly the same degree of protection as politicians do, if the country was as safe as they espouse and ignore todays worsened reality then personal RCMP details need to be removed completely as a Canadian is supposed to be equal despite the rhetoric on aspiring to a Victorian class system.

Nobody should have to face litigation by the Crown Prosecution seeking to find a minor flaw in the time it took to load a firearm or accessibility to ammunition as they seek to find a means to poke holes in a tragic incident knowing that a jury won’t convict on the shooting but the finer points just to send a message of denunciation & deterrence causing a 2nd guessing in the moment that if wrong leaves more victims than the person who embarked on the criminal enterprise, the home occupier does not have time to extrapolated if the one person they see isn’t a decoy for the 4 others coming in the back door to their family.

This is ruinously expensive for the plaintiff as to get a fair trial a decent counsel will charge 20k a day trial rate and many have faced this and been proved innocent yet financially ruined, people don’t chose to became legal lab rats for some aspiring judge to prove caselaw with our terrible access to affordable justice a citizen has to in seconds make a choice that could mire them for years continuously retraumatizing an event they didn’t seek part of.

I played by the rules, finished school, got a job and made a life that I earned and paid for. There is no way in creation that I will willingly allow my possessions to be taken or my family harmed. Castle law is something the conservatives started but, Harper left unfinished. The days of putting your car keys/fob and credit cards by the front door for easy pilfering as stated by some police services is soon to be over.

Put a No Trespassing Sign on your garage door, anybody that violates it is a criminal, even law enforcement, you are allowed to defend your property in any manner possible, guns and all.

Doug Fraud. That he was ever elected is beyond the norm. The biggest province has fraudulently elected a naive and a very obtuse politician.

Wow 500 kgs of blow. That's alot of hyper politicians, lawyers, judges and business man...because for sure it sure the hell ain't any kids and poor people using it. Hey, how about this Ford. You create a bill that doesn't protect the biggest legal drug dealers cartels like the one that poisons and kills millions per year with the mRNA bio-weapon jab...that's just one of their drugs...I mean vaccines. Fucking killers. Or how about glyphosates manufacturer Bayers? Fuck you Ford..you are a drug pusher backer! You spewed the bull shit rhetoric during the plandemic! But at least we know who the real criminals are, it's the politicians and judiciary!
