In Canada, in our Criminal Code,if you order someone to leave the inside of your home, and they refuse / do not?

They have committed assault against you.

This serves two purposes. The first is, a crime has been committed. The second is, you may now defend yourself.

I'm sure there is something similar in common law for other buildings. EG control of a space.

(I know nothing of this incident, just speaking generically.)
