Poilievre proposes “Stand on Guard” Law in Brampton to expand self-defence rights in one’s home

MP for Dufferin-Caledon Kyle Seeback, currently has put forward his bail reform survey to “demand bail reform.”

“Carney’s Liberal government, repeat violent offenders are still being released onto our streets. Families are paying the price, while the system keeps giving second, third, even fifth chances to dangerous criminals,” reads the survey website.

Seeback shared in a statement to The Citizen that Poilievre’s “change to the criminal code must happen.”

“Soft on crime Liberal laws have Canadians living in fear. A few days ago, there was a home invasion in Vaughan where a 46-year-old father was shot dead protecting his children. Enough is enough and Conservatives have proposed an amendment to the Criminal Code that gives Canadians the benefit of the doubt when using force against a home invader. The ‘Stand on Guard’ principle would provide clarity for our citizens, police, and prosecutors so that legitimate self-defence doesn’t mean jail time,” shared Seeback.

“I hope the Liberals will think of Canadians suffering from a surge of violent crime and pass this change this fall. Sadly, based on the last ten years of soft on crime policies, I doubt the Liberals will.”
