Poilievre Wants Criminal Code Amendment for Home Self-Defence

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling for legislative changes to limit the prosecution of individuals who have used reasonable force to defend their homes against intruders.

Canadians can currently lawfully defend themselves in case of home invasion but Poilievre said the Criminal Code provisions are too complicated and have resulted in citizens having to serve jail time or be embroiled in costly legal battles after defending themselves.
