Much love and God bless Sponsored by EasyDNS https://easydns.com/NotOnRecord In this episode Joseph walks through Canada’s self-defence law (Criminal Code s.34) and contrasts it with U.S. “castle doctrine” and stand-your-ground frameworks. With articling student Alper Yulmaz joining, they unpack proportionality and necessity, why Canada has no duty to retreat yet still weighs available options, and how courts apply a modified subjective objective test, considering the accused’s size, experience, trauma history, and the context inside a home. Recent tragedies and high-profile charges are discussed without trial-by-media, along with Supreme Court guidance (e.g., Hodgson, Khill), to show that Canadian law is broader and more flexible than many think; designed to protect homeowners while avoiding blanket presumptions that can produce unjust outcomes.
