Canada Needs Castle Law · Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show!

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: So talking about the case in Lindsay, Ontario. So there's
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: a big call for castle doctrine in Canada now and
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of outrage at that tenants of the
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: apartment being charged for salt, for defending himself, for defending himself.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Let's take a look at what Conservative MP Vincent Hoe says.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: And this is after peer Polyev has made his voice
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: clear and as well as as well as Alberta Premier
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Daniel Smith as voice support for that tenant, the victim,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the victim of the home invasion.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Hi folks, Vincent Hoe, Member of Parliament for the people
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: of Richmond Hills South, here listen. If a criminal breaks
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: into your home, they meet their choice. You shouldn't be
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: the one handcuffed by liberal soft on crime laws while
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: your family is left defenseless. Pure Polyef's message this was clear.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Your home, your family, your life. If a thug forces
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: their way in, you should have every right to do
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: whatever necessary to protect your loved ones and your property.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Criminal thugs don't get a free pass. Families come before lawbreakers.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: That is all you know. It does beg the question
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: what is reasonable force when you've been placed in an
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: unreasonable situation? Right, as if you're expected to be totally
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: clear headed when you've been woken up at three twenty
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: in the morning and there's somebody in your place, in
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: your in this case, an apartment, somebody crawled in through
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the window, apparently armed. I mean, what is how how
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: can there be an expectation of reasonable force in an
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: unreasonable situation when somebody has put you the victim in
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: an unreasonable situation. You've just woken up your groggy, right,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: You've got a adrenaline pounding through your system. That's you
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: don't feel like this Normally, you can't be expected to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: be reasonable in any way in those circumstances. And this
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: is something that's being done to you. You're not doing it.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: You didn't break into somebody else's house, right, How can
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: there be an expectation of an expectation of you know,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: reasonableness in an unreasonable extreme situation? And that's a word
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: we should use. It's an extreme situation, an extremely dangerous
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: situation where you have no idea what is in the
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: mind of the person who has invaded your home. You
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: don't know what their intentions are, even if they appear
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to be unarmed. Well, you can hide a knife pretty easily,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: can't you. So you don't have any idea what's going
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: on again? This demand of reasonableness seems totally unreasonable to me.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: In fact, it doesn't seem to make any sense at all.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Of course, there's going to be you can't have any
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: expectation of any laws being changed in a positive way
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: in with the current government. But perhaps perhaps when we
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: have an opportunity to change, we will see something positive. Oh, actually,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: hold on, we've got a bit more here. So Ian
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Runkle is a lawyer in Canada, and let's hear what
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: he has to say.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Have a listen. You find that our system right now
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: is not a good system for this because the reasonableness
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: standard really applies to somebody who doesn't who never wanted
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: a confrontation and had no role in choosing the confrontation.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: The only person who could prevent this interaction is the
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: home invader. The homeowner never had that choice, and so
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: maybe the homeowner knows they're not a reasonable person, and
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: so they just don't want to interact with the public.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: The public has decided to come into his home, and
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: we're saying, oh, well, even when you are being attacked
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: in the night by, you know, a stranger, wanted criminal.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: You are required to be the better person, and I
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: think no, if you don't, I think our law should
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: recognize that if you don't really want to encounter somebody
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: who might be unreasonable, stay out of their house.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you don't want to encounter somebody who might
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: be unreasonable, don't stay out of the house. Don't put
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: them in an unreasonable position. I don't like this doesn't
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: mean it's not It's just reality, right, It's just the
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: real world. Right. There's nothing more real world than somebody
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: busting into your house in the middle of the night.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: And these things do end very badly for people all
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the time, for the victims all the time. And it's
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: something that's actually happening more and more often in Canada now.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: So it's an important conversation anyway. That's all I'm going
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: to say about that. Please like, share and subscribe. Subscribing

• 5:01
