There is no duty to retreat in Canada. Self defence laws basically look at the acts committed and whether they seem reasonable in the circumstances, all the way from pushing someone away from you to lethal force.

Doesn’t really have any bearing, police shoot until the threat is gone. One round or a full mag, the stopping point is when there is no more threat presented.
