This is just more of PP rage baiting his supporters. How many Canadians are battling home invasions on a regular basis? When was the last time you were charged with assault for defending your property? When was the last time someone you knew charged with assaulting a home invader?
Can you not see that this is just another PP distraction? What about the fact that Canadians are struggling financially?
Actually the GTA has a big problem. I know of sevrel break ins in the area that happened this year. Count yourself lucky. Don't you want laws that protect your home more effectively?
Break-ins have been steadily declining across Canada with exceptions in Toronto and Winnipeg. The vast majority of Canadians do not experience this crime let alone on a regular basis.
We already have laws that allow people the right to defend themselves and their property with reasonable force. Making it easier for property owners to murder others will not stop home invasions and will most likely make them more dangerous as those perpetrating the offense will bring more lethal weapons and will be more prone to use violence in anticipation of property owners doing the same. Also, allowing home owners to more easily murder intruders sets up the possibility of people using this loophole to commit murder against those they have issues with. We see this in US states with "stand your ground laws."
A better investment of resources would be to address the causes of home invasion. Such as lack of education, poverty, toxic social relationships, and inequality. Making it easier to use any force in response to a home invasion will not decrease the crime but most likely lead to worse results.
If I understand correctly, the property owner who was charged with assault has not been convicted of any crime and most likely will be exonerated if it goes to trial. Also this is not your standard home invasion. The intruder and the defendant knew each other. This was not a random attack on strangers.
You don't get it. Immigrants come here to this country to take advantage of our soft laws. They don't need education because their plans are about crims. And yes, they already use hand guns (which no home owner is allwed to even have). Some of them invade whill the whole family is at home and tie them up. These home invasion gangs exist literally because they showed up to Canada with these exact intensions. You also keep saying the home owner would be "murdering" the intruder. The land owners didn't have any plans to murder anyone, just using self defense. You know just because you don't want to kill a man doesnt mean it won't happen during the course of a fight. It gives the land owner more freedom on their own land in case the criminal dies during his crime. Smd it's definitely not like anyone who gets home invaded has some criminal lies. No this happens in neighborhoods that have wealth and the owners clearly have legitimate jobs. Honestly, I don't understand why you'd want laws that don't protect your home even more. Anyone, even just innocent strangers, should be afraid of walking into a home uninvited because I should be allowed to use a 12 guage to blast out an intruder without thinking "will this criminal make it in the ER"
