Former Cumberland-Colchester MP says without a full, independent inquiry, the RCMP can’t be trusted to provide the transparency needed to learn from the attacks
A member of the RCMP pays her respect to slain RCMP Constable Heidi Stevenson during a moment of silence in front of Ms. Stevenson's detachment in Enfield, N.S., on April 24, 2020.Almost three months after a gunman dressed as an RCMP officer committed the worst mass killing in Canadian history, Nova Scotians are still waiting on a public inquiry that will examine how police handled the rampage that left 22 people dead.
A spokesperson with Nova Scotia’s Department of Justice said on Monday an announcement on a federal-provincial inquiry “is forthcoming,” but did not elaborate. The Nova Scotia RCMP have said they’d welcome an inquiry into the shootings. “We just know that mistakes were made,” Mr. Casey said. “And we know that communications were a significant failure.”
“That whole framework of misogyny is really important, or else there’s going to be a gaping hole in the inquiry,” Ms. MacDonald said. “What do we do, just let these men maraud the earth because we’re afraid of them?” “You can’t separate misogyny out of his behaviour,” Ms. Sarson added. “Not only was he violent toward his partner, but other women had fear of him. He had a serial misogyny of women. So you have to look broader than just how he treated his partner.”
