Ontario police charge a man for defending his home against an intruder. We’ve got to help!

We need to strengthen our rights to self-defence. And we need to help Jeremy.

What Happened

I just got off the phone with Jeremy McDonald, a dad from Lindsay, Ontario. A man broke into his house at 3 a.m. while Jeremy was sleeping. There was an altercation, and police arrived on the scene. It turns out, the intruder was a violent, serial criminal known to police.

But police charged Jeremy, the homeowner, with aggravated assault and other offences — for defending his own home!

This is outrageous.

Why It Matters

Canada is in the middle of a crime wave. It’s bad enough that serial criminals are marauding around our neighbourhoods. But it’s outrageous that a man who protects his own home is charged as a criminal by the same police who didn’t protect him.

How We’re Helping

I made three promises to Jeremy:

  1. Report the story: We’ll cover this case every step of the way.
  2. Change the law: We’ve launched a petition calling for stronger “castle law” protections.
  3. Fund his defence: We’re crowdfunding his legal bills so he doesn’t have to go into debt for doing the right thing.

Sign the Petition

Please add your name to demand that Canadians have the right to defend their homes without fear of prosecution.

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:

  1. Drop the charges against Jeremy McDonald immediately.

  2. Reform Canada’s self-defence laws to strengthen protections for homeowners and families.

  3. 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!

Will you sign?

Please help cover Jeremy’s legal bills so he can fight back without being buried in debt.
