In reality, this country has become a safe haven for criminals of all types, most of them committing these actions brazenly and in broad daylight. There is little to no fear of consequences. Those who do get caught and face charges, usually receive a slap on the wrist and resume their “career” fairly quickly.

If you fear for yours or your families safety or life you can use what ever force is necessary including a firearm to protect yourself. Section 34 of the criminal code and Bill C-26 clarifies it. You will definitely have a rough ride but there is ample case law for people defending themselves with firearms in Canada. The average response time for 911 calls in Toronto now is 22 minutes, there's an old expression, I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
