Original Note:
While in a very technical sense poking someone can be considered "assault" in this scenario it would be dishonest to say the man "picks a fight" simply by touching the older gentleman. In fact, the man who threw the first punch could be charged with assault. https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/c-46/section-265.html
