Back to EpisodesOntario AG Seeks Pepper Spray Legalization for Self-Defense
Description
Ontarios Attorney General urges federal government to legalize pepper spray for self-defense, citing safety concerns. Alberta made a similar request in 2021. However, experts warn of potential risks, including a false sense of security and regulation challenges. Stats Canada data shows pepper spray caused 4.6% of firearm injuries in 2022, with young adults facing online harassment more likely to carry protection. Federal response remains cautious, focusing on community safety and proper training.
