This bothered me deeply.
Dan, please consider linking to your sources. If you did elsewhere, like YouTube, good for you, but I avoid going there (you and everyone else should too).
I gather this is the source you used:

This is the current bill regarding self defence in Canada, with discussion: http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/other-autre/rsddp-rlddp/p5.html
I would agree with your summation if Munroe doesn't get cleared OR there is more to the story that changes the tone of "self defence".
