Oh, Canada, we stand on guard for thee*

“We start out the morning with an ‘aren’t you glad you don’t live in Canada’ story. I think this is from Newfoundland where 53-year-old homeowner Gilbert Donald Dennis Budgell struggled with two fellows who invaded his home. Budgell shot one of them and the other escaped and now he’s facing attempted murder charges. According to the Defense Lawyer Mark Gruchy it’s about ‘proportionality’ – if someone punches you, you can’t stab them – it wouldn’t be cricket. Apparently, in Canada you can’t shoot a criminal until they shoot you…or something.”

(I would think a Canadian judge would use common sense … Wait. What? Canadian judge and common sense? You been drinking Flint water?)
