Canadian knife laws should you carry one for self defense
Can using a knife for self defense land you in jail in Canada?
In Canada you are not allowed to carry balisongs, automatics or out the front knives. You are not allowed to have knives that open with the use of gravity or automatic knives where you press a button and the blade deploys.
Canadian knife law is about intent and purpose, you can carry knives as tools but must have a reason for carrying the knife. Carrying a knife while you’re camping is ok, carrying the same knife into a bar is not. You are not allowed to use the knife for self defense purposes, the reasons why are explained in the video.

Speaking plainly: no matter what, it is better to be dead than a live if you're attacked. At least you're not going through a nightmare with cops or trial in court. We're defenseless here in Canada.
Wrong Black belt guy the attacker will only close the distance if your not paying attention to your surroundings. The first principal of carrying a knife is to be aware of your surroundings. Be alert to danger. If you pay attention to your surroundings you will eventually see an attacker from off in the distance. I have thwarted attacks by staring down an attacker with my hand in my pocket. He knew I had a weapon and didn’t attack. Pulling out your knife is always a last resort.
In Canada there is a type of mutual response lol if somebody comes at you with their fist you’re allowed to defend yourself with your fists . If they come at you with a weapon you’re allowed to defend yourself with a weapon.
When I worked as a Carpenter I carried a full size framing hammer on my hip on public transit in Toronto. This is likely the most dangerous hand to hand weapon anyone could carry and no one even blinked
I was in a home invasion and my brother got stabbed as a teenager simply going on a walk, we both could not protect ourselves while the criminals escaped scotch free. Canada is fucking backwards and I blame the liberals as they love protecting criminals while drowning the average family.
this is stupid…typical liberal mentality…comon sense… i am alive and my attacker is dead….human rights .you have the right to protect yourself end of story. ….Canada has the dumbest laws.
so many things here…. 1. Do you pull a knife? Yes. Because most situations its a fallower that makes you uncomfortable. So You snap the knife out and keep walking ahead. 2.If you cut someone and they keep coming at you? Well atleast they're cut now…. And its very clear that they would have continued to attack you anyways. 3. If someone ment to do you harm, That makes you a criminal. They don't go to the cops. mess them up and run. 100% carry a knife. 100% have it in hand, ready to go as soon as anyone gives you spiddy sence. And 100% shoot shovel and shut up. My knife has saved me one time. Only once. But if I didn't have it. There would be four young people never born. Fuck the gov in their Ritch houses.
If you get charged with anything, challenge jurisdiction. The claim the government has authority over you, your life, your property. Also challenge the crown for proof that the law applies to you. You will see them squirm. They will lie, dodge the question, and just say they have it, because they have no proof at all.
Lawyers lie all the time. They talk about laws and such. One thing you never hear them talk about is section 32 of the Charter of rights and freedoms. As most people have heard the charter is the supreme law. What you haven't heard is it applies to the government, not the people. This means all law in Canada is meant for the government, they do not have the authority to make laws controlling the people. I have pasted it here for you to read for yourself. Section 32 – Application of Charter 32. (1) This Charter applies:
to the Parliament and government of Canada in respect of all matters within the authority of Parliament including all matters relating to the Yukon Territory and Northwest Territories; and to the legislature and government of each province in respect of all matters within the authority of the legislature of each province. Exception (2) Notwithstanding subsection (1), section 15 shall not have effect until three years after this section comes into force. The purpose of section 32 is to make it clear that the Charter only applies to governments, and not to private individuals, businesses or other organizations.
Subsection 32(2) was necessary to give governments a chance to amend their laws to bring them into line with equality rights. Section 15 of the Charter did not come into force until three years after the rest of the Charter became effective on April 17, 1982.

I'm from Edmonton. I probably don't need to elaborate any further.
If somebody is swinging a katana at you than you’re allowed to defend yourself with whatever tool you may have on your person at the time, however
Why are we not allowed to defend ourselves in Canada that’s my fucking question

Canada's self defense laws suck the big one
It's like they have people with guns protecting politicians but we don't matter. Eat a wiener

But balisong is my culture! Why sikh is exempted.
I'd only pull out my knife if a knife is pulled on me.
Very insightful … thank you!!! Danny from Peggy's Cove NS.
