It's pretty straightforward."Pierre Poilievre also reacted to the incident at a press conference saying, "The law needs to be clear that if someone comes into your house uninvited, to steal your property or harm your family, you need to do whatever is necessary to stop them."."My message to the criminal thugs who are invading the homes of Canadians, an unprecedented number, because of Liberal laws — is that you should be in serious danger if you go into someone's house illegally and try to harm them.'"If you don't want to be harmed, then don't invade someone's house and don't threaten their security. The law needs to be very clear that people have the right to defend their homes and Their families against lawbreakers. "
