@TRYHARDGAMER604 You get at least one helper, preferably two. You wrap your leading hand in a piece of clothing. You use a briefcase, knapsack, bag, anything, as a shield in your other. You close, you parry one thrust or ignore the result if you fail to, you go for the forearm or elbow as you pull or knock him down. You hang onto that elbow or forearm for dear life, do whatever it takes to inflict pain, bite him if you can't do anything else. Someone else smashes the knife hand any way they can, stomps on his face, snaps the other arm or wrist—any of those, whatever it takes. Two seconds later he's pinned, he's incapacitated, he's disarmed, it's over.
I would do that rather than watch people get killed. But probably not if unaided.
Civilians on a London bridge did this a few years ago. And the guy had a fake bomb vest as well.

@Hutch-b2p First, no one's talking about doing away with reportedly lucrative LCBO wholesaling. (In fact the Ford govt. set up provincially-run wholesaling for private cannabis retailing just a few years ago, so they're clearly not against that sort of thing.) So subtract wholesaling profits from that $2.5bn figure.
Second, once LCBO retailing is done away with, a flood of private-retail taxes will flow into government coffers. So subtract a further amount from that figure to represent such inflows.
Whether the new totals will amount to less than $2.5bn, about the same, or more than $2.5bn, should be (and has been, surely?) the subject of carefully calculated projections. I'm not about to trust union-hired tax consultants or economists on the matter, by the way.
And I will preemptively point out to you that it cannot be presumed that, simply because profits will be made by private retailers, the net result will mean comparatively lower provincial revenues. Microeconomics and taxation don't work that way. It may very well be that the whole alcohol retailing ecosystem (including payroll and other business taxes quite apart from corporate income taxes, as well as those generated by increased real estate investment and activity, as well as investment and activity in other spheres), may yield higher total government revenues.
Thanks for raising that important subject.
