    As you were told when you posted, this is a U.S. forum. With due respect to the apparent wishes of your Prime Minister, Ontario is not a U.S. state.

    Smashing a liquor bottle on somebody's head can result in incarceration, so I suggest getting in touch with your lawyer as soon as one's assigned to you.
