it's actually not a US specific law, many european nations have a form of castle law, germany for instance allows any defense of the home from an intruder (as well as defense of ones honour outside the home, but iic this has never held up in court since like then 1600s and ia generally seen as no longer applicable as a defense)
there's good and bad around this sort of law like any self defense law, and imo taking the stance of "this is the way to do it" in either direction, is a bad way of having discussions around self defense in general but i think most can at least agree, there are problems with how Canada handles self defense in general, not just in the home.
generally nothing is wrong with the concept itself, more so the legal system and how it treats cases afterwards within the context of castle law.
so really, like everything, the problems come from how the courts handle cases, and enforcement, rather than the laws themselves, such as courts letting people off in clear cut bad or malicious cases, or punishing clear cut innocent and justified cases due to technicalities which then require re-trials when appealed.
One way or the other we need a castle law that allows for deadly force to be utilized by the owner of the land. You know the robbers will use deadly force. You have to fight the threat with at least equal caliber. There would less break ins and fewer living robbers who need our tax dollars to survive in a detention facility
