RE: Canadians Have ZERO Rights To Self Defence - Home Invasion Victim Charged With Attempted Murder!
This bothered me deeply.
Dan, please consider linking to your sources. If you did elsewhere, like YouTube, good for you, but I avoid going there (you and everyone else should too).
I gather this is the source you used:

This is the current bill regarding self defence in Canada, with discussion: http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/other-autre/rsddp-rlddp/p5.html
I would agree with your summation if Munroe doesn't get cleared OR there is more to the story that changes the tone of "self defence".

Thanks for the "current bill" link. I'm about halfway through it. A good read but there is one issue here.
There is no enforcement mechanism available. Not to enforce the law upon the people, but upon law-enforcement and the legal system.
The supreme court has been very clear, your rights are subject to suspension at the will and whim of law-enforcement.
In other words, you have no right of self defence to begin with, so any criteria regarding enforcement of self-defense regulation created by parliament are nothing more than polite suggestions to be used in specific circumstances such as a police officer dealing with a family member or friend whom they wish to protect from the laws they would otherwise be using to garner a conviction.
The simple truth is, when regulatory authority was granted to law enforcement, policy became law. A mistake that is irreversible...
The Canadian Charter of Rights is still a very powerful document. The sad reality is that it is a forgotten document that will slowly fade away with time. It is just that in this day and age, especially with the supreme law of the land never mentioned or taught in school nobody will never know about it. Today's society when told about 'how things are' just blindly accept it as fact instead of doing a little research and empowering themselves with the knowledge. I could tell you my story as to what happened to me recently, but needless to say, it took a charter challenge to finally have the charges against me 'stayed'
because the crown's argument for the charges against me could not stand up. I truly feel for what this man is going to have to go through before things are all said and done. It will be an emotional roller-coaster of a ride and a charter challenge for this man to avoid jail. There is a reason it is called a legal society, you just don't have a say in it. If you don't know the laws and more importantly, just accepting the 'interpretation' as it is given without questioning anything is a slippery slope the general population seems to be heading down.

Thank you so much for your response. I'm glad it worked out for you
