If someone intrudes are you just supposed to let them?

False dichotomy.
Lets say you hear a noise downstairs. You come down and you find your ex girlfriend in the living room. She says, "I'm just here for my phone." You say, "Get out." She says, "Fuck off, I know it's here." You grab a baseball bat and break her elbow with it. Now you're going to jail because that was not a reasonable use of force to defend yourself or your property; she was not an imminent threat and you could have just pushed her out or called the police.
Whatever the situation was, the intruder was nearly killed. That PROBABLY was not a necessary use of force. It looks iffy enough that of course a court or at least the crown needs to take a look at it.
-
The article specifically states that the intruder was charged with possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. Its likely the victims use of force prevented the weapon being used against the victim.
-
I get your example, and you should probably resist killing your ex. Any other rando appearing inside your house should be dealt with.

Now that's a disingenuous situation. Let's say she attacks you with a knife and in that lunge you grab her hand and make her stab herself. You still lose that.

In Canada it is illegal to not offer intruders beer in evenings or coffee in the mornings.
-
Lesson here is don't call anyone, as your families safety is not important.
-
Also, don't talk to the police under any circumstances, even if you think you are the victim. They are not your friends, and they can and will fuck you over. Call a lawyer and keep your mouth shut.

Wow, that is insane.

We are going to see a lot more of this going forward.
Self defense laws have been slowly eroded over the years outside of crazy shit in the US like Kyle Rittenhouse drama.
The state doesn't cover if you or your family is murdered, dow with that info what you will.
It is your or your families lives. Nothing big here. You should sort out a reasonable response at 3am
Note how intruder got lesser charges 🤡

They ALWAYS get charged. They almost never get convicted. You have the right to self defense.
And you can use reasonable force to defend yourself. It's not a license to beat a guy who's not a physical threat. People get psycho when they think their violence is justified.
The guy doing the crime got lesser charges than the guy defending his house. 🤡
And apparently you also have the right to get harassed and dragged through the mud in a long and unfair criminal case, even if you get off in the end.
The trial is the punishment.
Not true
Don't argue with me. Take your disagreement to Justice Canada.
