Canada’s ‘But you can’t hurt em self defence law’

Yes, self-defence is allowed in Canada. ‘Misinformation’ abounds as man charged in assault of intruder: lawyer

After a decision to charge a man for allegedly assaulting an intruder in his home in Lindsay, Ont., sparked widespread reaction this week, one criminal lawyer has a reminder for the public: self-defence is legal in Canada, but within reason.

The Kawartha Lakes Police Service has faced criticism for charging a 44-year-old man after an altercation that left the alleged intruder with life-threatening injuries Monday morning in the small town northeast of Toronto. Police have provided few details but say the resident is facing charges for aggravated assault and assault with a weapon, and the intruder, who is also facing charges, was airlifted to hospital afterward.

Desperate for Attention: Ana Navarro Rages at Melania Plea to End War

With The View on hiatus until its September return for season 29, ABC News co-host Ana Navarro seemed to be getting a little antsy. Instead of just enjoying her vacation with a glass of wine, Navarro uncorked a series of Instagram posts and whined about First Lady Melania Trump’s letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin, pleading with him to think of the children in Ukraine and end the war. Of course, Navarro exploited it as an opportunity to feed the Trump haters in her comment section.

Globe Platforms Weirdo Meat Haters

Happy meat won’t save the world. It may even distract from the real issues

When you last went to a restaurant, did you give the vegetarian dishes serious consideration? Despite knowing you’re “supposed to” eat less meat, did you glance at the tofu bowl, hesitate for a moment, and then choose the most tempting meaty option on the menu instead?

If so, you’re not alone.

Asked about his action for punitive damages against the hard-right political commentator Candace Owens, Macron, 47, said he was aware that he and Brigitte risked provoking a so-called Streisand effect — creating extra negative publicity by attempting to suppress it.

Medical Activists Try to Put Net Zero Considerations at the Heart of Cardiovascular Surgery

Major heart surgery is fraught with clinical danger and requires weeks of recuperation. But it is often a life-saving procedure, and various options to repair valves and widen arteries are available. The type of operation is determined on strict medical grounds based on factors such as age and health condition of the patient. The last thing you might need if faced with such a medical decision is some burk talking about climate change. Welcome to the Net Zero fantasy world, where a New York group of medical scientists and activists are suggesting such decisions could be partly based on saving the emission of greenhouse gases. The actual amount saved between two common operations discussed is said to be at most 390 kgs, about the same amount of carbon dioxide one human breathes out in a year. One human, it might be noted, among eight billion who live and breathe on the planet.

Newmarket man agrees to terrorism peace bond over alleged youth plot to join ISIS

Youth Plot …

A Newmarket man accused of plotting to leave Canada to join ISIS while still a youth has been ordered to sign a terrorism peace bond requiring him to remain in the country and avoid extremist material on social media, where prosecutors allege he became immersed in hateful content.

The now 19-year-old was arrested last December by the RCMP in connection with a terrorism investigation and was released from custody that same day on strict conditions pending the outcome of a peace bond application. His identity is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act because he was a teen at the onset of the investigation.


Joining a bloodthirsty band of Muslim fanatics is not exactly a “Youth Plot”.
