Haha, no. It's not illegal to defend yourself in Canada. A quick google search turns up ample proof of that.
This article from ammoland lays out what happens pretty clearly and even refers to the actual laws used to charge and try people. It even brings up another case where the same consequences played out, AND a group of frothing-at-the-mouth prosecutors wanting to send the guy to jail for defending his home. No one was even injured in the fray in which the homeowner used a gun QUITE responsibly. But the law, as it was written, prevailed. And the homeowner went free.

This is another case of Derangement Syndrome, where someone reads a clickbait "fake news" headline and insists the "libtard dumbocrats" are coming to take their guns.
Why people are so eager to believe these lies without doing any research to make sure something so bizarre isn't true is beyond me.
I would say that laying the cost of defense on the victim is a lousy move. At the very least, the attackers should be saddled with the bill. But that's the only unfair thing I can find here that I take issue with. Everything else is pretty common sense.
Tell me if you get an A+ for my report.
