Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he supports self-defence in cases of car theft or home invasion, following an incident in the city of Vaughan in which a car theft victim was charged with discharging a firearm.

“I gotta find out this guy’s name and number, and I gotta hold a fundraiser for lawyer fees for him,” Ford said regarding the victim at an unrelated June 17 press conference. “He should get a medal for standing up.”
