IIRC, in Alberta there is a general immunity for good samaritans in case they make things worse while trying to help, no? Not sure how far reaching that is, however.

I've put myself into some stupid situations in the past helping a stranger, and expect I would do so again in the future if faced with the situation again.

Though I suppose it would be situational too. I got between a guy threatening his mother once (punk backed off the second I showed up too... f'ing coward), but if two guys are going at it in the parking lot, I'd probably watch and let them sort it out themselves.
