Senior RCMP members testified on their experience with political interference from Ottawa into the Nova Scotia mass shooting in April 2020.
As much as I have been, and remain critical, of the RCMP’s handling of the Nova Scotia incident, there is no question that Trudeau’s PMO and the office of then-public safety minister Bill Blair inserted themselves where they don’t belong.
Campbell was referring to an April 28, 2020 conference call demanded by RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki. According to several descriptions of that call, Lucki was angry that Campbell had not released the name and types of firearms used by the gunman in the April 2020 massacre that had rocked Nova Scotia just days earlier.Article content
Campbell’s view was that while the investigation was ongoing and while the RCMP was working with the Canada Border Services Agency, as well as the FBI and other American agencies, that it wasn’t wise to release the information. Lucki believed otherwise because the Trudeau Liberals were about to introduce new legislation, and she had made a promise to her political bosses, according to Campbell’s testimony.
“Whether we’re saying promise, pressure, influence, they all lead to the same end result,” Scanlan said.
