Thanks for doing this IRG. Your efforts will not be forgotten and I will definitely remember them when I look for my next purchase. Anonymous donation inbound. I wish the all best to the Maurice family. Sadly, in the blink of an eye, their lives have been changed forever.

So just sit there and wait and hope they don't decide to kill you after? Every case I read like this (Boushie especially) makes me think of a local retired husband and wife that got murdered by a couple of drunk and drugged up dirtbags that were on a drug fueled B&E crime spree. They both died on the phone to 911, lot of help the police are in rural settings.
If some worthless loser wants to steal my stuff, do it during the day when I'm at work like the rest of the world...I have insurance, life goes on.
Do it at night and I have to assume you are there to harm me or my family. Police are 30 mins away at minimum, my families safety is worth my freedom if it comes to that.

More than 1,000 people crowded into an Ottawa church Saturday for the funeral of two retired teachers killed during an attempted burglary last weekend.
The couple were asleep at their Val-des-Monts, Que., cottage on Nov. 23, when they heard someone trying to break in.
Bob Dagenais, 52, was shot dead as he tried to dial 911, police said. His wife, Bonnie, 51, was killed by a second blast seconds later.
Police have two suspects, both from Notre-Dame-du-Laus, Que., in custody. Rene Michaud, 26, and a 15-year-old boy were charged with first-degree murder in the death of Bonnie Dagenais and second-degree murder in the death of her husband.
Police said they had been looking for Michaud at the time of the killings, and that he had been released from custody eight days before the Val-des-Monts incident.
Authorities have refused to comment on why he was set free. "I prefer not to make any comments on that subject," Crown lawyer Denis Pilon told reporters.
The shooting victims had retired from teaching last June.
Bob Dagenais was principal of Sir Guy Carleton Secondary School in Ottawa, where he ended a career that spanned 27 years. Bonnie taught for 32 years, most recently elementary students at Broadview Public School.
As testament to their popularity, St. Patrick's Basilica was packed to overflowing with many former students.
"It's not at all surprising, said student Steve Marriner about the large turnout. "I mean, he touched so many people's lives, and so did his wife, Bonnie."
Bob Dagenais was principal of several high schools. Students at one of them, Woodroffe High, staged a protest in 1996 when they learned he would be transferred to another school.
It's getting a little bit Sunday around here.....
How many times do these guys need to let people take their stuff and pay the deductible? How many times until their insurance rates skyrocket? How many times until they are no longer insurable?
Turn up the good, turn down the suck.
So if I shoot a home invader, should I stab myself and say he attacked first? Is this what we need to do to keep ourselves from going to jail for defending our homes? We really need to let the powers at be know how backwards the self-defense laws are. They are made to protect the offender and punish the defender.
NO. gofundme keeps a large amount of funds as part of their "service fees". not worth it esp for large endeavors such as this one.
I'm not sure I agree. Basically, you're denying people property rights by saying they can't confront a thief with deadly force. If I catch a guy breaking in to my car, by what law is it dicatated that my property rights are decided by whether or not I can physically intimidate them in to fleeing the scene? That denies the property rights of women, the elderly, and people of small stature.
This makes no sense. The argument that property isn't worth a human life basically invalidates ownership rights.
