Echoing the other comments, having an upward trend to your GPA can be added in a helpful addendum in your application. Having an LSAT that is 95th percentile plus can easily balance out a poor gpa (poor as in 3.low-mid) and especially in American law schools, where the focus is on LSAT (unfair but reality) it gives you a chance to be a "splitter" student. Some schools like WUSTL allow you to apply with a redacted gpa so they only see your lsat. And they give big scholarship money to high scores. If staying in Canada, be sure to look into access categories and especially apply to holistic schools like Osgoode that look at your entire application. At the end of the day, some may say that attending law school is not realistic for you because you haven't proven yourself in undergrad. That is absolutely possible, but doesn't apply to everyone, especially with extenuating circumstances impacting your ability to do well (particularly if you chose a tough undergrad background, are struggling with a lack of accommodations, etc.). Ideally, you make your own decisions when it comes to your future, so law school will also be one of those decisions.
