UPDATE: Protests in two Nova Scotia locations over mass shooting review decision
The protests followed last week's announcement by the provincial and federal governments of an independent review, which has been criticized by victims' family members as lacking transparency and legal heft.
Emily Stewart, executive director of Third Place Transition House, which serves several counties where killings occurred on April 18 and 19, said only a public inquiry could effectively expose the role that domestic violence played in the mass shooting. Activists, lawyers, Nova Scotia opposition parties and senators from across Canada have joined the call for an inquiry in recent months, expressing disappointment in the governments' chosen format.
