If a suicide bomber is about to blow himself up downtown and I spot this, what am I to do? Call the police and wait 5 minutes for them to show up while the bomber blows and everyone around himself up?

The government cannot protect it's citizens, and the citizens of this country should understand that it is their own responsibility to protect themselves. When that happens, you'll have less crime all together.

Anyway, i'm sure the government is just hoping that one of these guys blows themselves up in a Canadian city. More funding for police, military, and the ability to introduce any sort of civil protection law they wish.

Fair enought.
So what exactly would you propose to do in that situation that you are not allowed to do right now?

In Canada you're allowed to use the same ammount of force to subdue someone who is trying to hurt you, so if you see a suicide bomber, I think you could make a pretty good case, that no matter what you did to him, you would be within the equivalent force criteria....unless you somehow blow him up twice.
