It will also never be a felony in this country. Canada doesn't have felonies, we have summary offenses and indictable offenses (and hybrids, which can be either of the others).

That is not true. While it is legal to carry a knife in Canada, so long as it is not concealed, carrying a knife for self defense or as a weapon is illegal. So even if you are legally carrying a knife, as soon as it is used as a weapon, it becomes a crime. While you may say it was in self defense, you will under most circumstances, be charged with assault with a deadly weapon, or worse depending on the outcome.
