The public inquiry that investigated the April 2020 mass murder of 22 people in Nova Scotia is releasing its final report today.
A public inquiry has found widespread failures in how the Mounties responded to Canada's worst mass shooting and recommends that Ottawa rethink the RCMP's central role in Canadian policing.
The final report delves deeply into the causes of the mass shooting. These include the killer's violence toward his spouse and the failure of police to act on it, and "implicit biases" that seemed to blind officers and community members to the danger a white, male professional posed. The report's summary says that soon after the shooting started in Portapique, N.S., RCMP commanders disregarded witness accounts, and senior Mounties wrongly assumed residents were mistaken when they reported seeing the killer driving a fully marked RCMP cruiser.
"This may entail a reconfiguration of policing in Canada and a new approach to federal financial support for provincial and municipal policing services," the report says. "There is a long history of efforts to reform the RCMP’s contract policing services model to be more responsive to the needs of ... communities they represent," the report says. "These efforts have largely failed to resolve long-standing criticisms."
The commission recommends these forms of violence be declared an “epidemic,” while noting many mass violence events begin with an attack on a specific woman. He smuggled at least three weapons from the United States and obtained one from the estate of his longtime friend, Tom Evans, and was believed to own several other firearms that were destroyed in fires.
