The chief of police in Kawartha Lakes, Ont., is defending assault charges his officers laid against a man who was the victim of an alleged break-in, saying Canadians' rights to defend themselves and their property "are not unlimited."
The Kawartha Lakes Police Service has been facing criticism for charging a 44-year-old man in Lindsay, Ont., after an alleged intruder in his apartment, who is also facing charges, was left with life-threatening injuries during an altercation.
Premier Doug Ford blasted that decision, saying during an unrelated news conference in Hamilton on Wednesday that it shows "something is broken."
