Women’s rights advocates in Atlantic Canada are calling on people across the country to join a brief general strike on Monday to demand a public inquiry into the deadly mass shootings that took place in Nova Scotia last April.
“We need systemic and structural change to come from this, and a little review is just not going to cut it,” Paynter, one of the strike organizers, said in an interview.Family and friends of victims attend a march demanding an inquiry into the April mass shooting in Nova Scotia that killed 22 people, in Bible Hill, N.S. on July 22, 2020.
The victims’ families, as well as women’s rights advocates, lawyers and federal senators from across Canada, have for months urged Halifax and Ottawa to launch a public probe into what happened during the shootings and why. The federal and Nova Scotia governments have defended the format of the review, however, saying it was the best way to launch an investigation quickly.

Search for Bridgewater, N.S., fugitive enters fifth dayThe search for a runaway fugitive in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, entered its fifth day on Saturday – yielding no arrests. While town officials say the public is not at risk, there is a level of uncertainty in the community. On Saturday, the area of Bridgewater was relatively quiet – considering a manhunt continues in the region for 31-year-old Tobias Charles Doucette. Police do not have the rights to murder and I hope they remmeber they just shot a man, someones son someones dad, for a pellet gun. Have they found this guy yet? You forgot to report on it.
