You better have baseball bat or bear spray - even that would give you troubles, but will be more effective against knife or bare hands which is most likely the case.
After all, Canada is a safe country. If you still fear of someone would brake in and rape you in the middle of the night, then simply think of moving into safer area. Because they might rape you when you walk on the dark street without your guns.
Those suffering paranoia: better set your home alarm overnight, setup Cctv - it will scare off most of intruders, unless they have an urgent goal to kill you in narcodealer wars.
Lastly, fire has much more chances to happen. I wonder how many of those hotly discussing HD ever had even one fire extinguisher in house, while keeping multiple guns for HD.
Have good and safe night. Hope you survive till morning.
