A 44-year-old man by the name of Jeremy McDonald, a homeowner in the town of Lindsay, Ontario, was charged with aggravated assault and assault with a weapon after an altercation with a home intruder August 18.

In response to these astonishing repercussions to self-defence, Rebel News has started CastleLawNow.com to crowdfund McDonald’s legal expenses and call on the government to enact “castle law” in Canada.

On yesterday’s Buffalo Roundtable livestream, Ezra Levant and Lise Merle were joined by Derek Fildebrandt and Marty Belanger to discuss the case of Jeremy McDonald and Canada’s need to strengthen self-defence law.

Goal: 30,000 signatures

To: The Government of Ontario and the Attorney General of Canada

We, the undersigned, believe no Canadian should face criminal charges for defending their own home and family from violent intruders.

We call on lawmakers to:

Drop the charges against Jeremy McDonald immediately.
Reform Canada’s self-defence laws to strengthen protections for homeowners and families.
Ensure police and prosecutors uphold the principle that Canadians have the right to defend their homes without fear of being treated as criminals.

No Canadian family should ever fear both criminals outside their doors and charges from the justice system inside the courtroom.

We demand action now!
