How the Nova Scotia mass shooting could bring a law that makes abusers’ tactics a crime

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.The repeated threats and isolation a Nova Scotia mass shooter allegedly used against his spouse show why such cruelty should be a criminal offence in Canada, experts on domestic violence say.

Wortman’s killings were preceded by a domestic assault against his spouse on the night of April 18 at one of his properties in Portapique, N.S. After the woman escaped, the 51-year-old denturist killed 22 victims before police shot and killed him at a service station on April 19. In court documents released last week, acquaintances told police they’d witnessed “abusive,” “controlling” and “manipulative” behaviour by Wortman in the past, though details are blacked out.

“Someone who is controlling their spouses will take all kinds of tactics to minimize their ability to reach out,” she said. “This was a disturbing situation which clearly shows he was isolating his partner.” The sociologist recently submitted a paper to the federal Justice Department’s ombudsman for victims of crime on this potential legal reform.

By the end of 2018, over 308 people had been convicted and sentenced under the law in the United Kingdom, 97 per cent of them male.

What it did was bring out the vultures like Trudeau & Blair using peoples deaths to raise funds and votes for the Liberal Party. Are they also setting us up for another gun registry that will cost us billions in contracts to their big biz donors?

I hope this law becomes standard across Canada may be Air Canada will have to answer why they have over 467 victims of PROVEN SYSTEMIC HARASSMENT AT THE CANADIAN HUMAN RIGHTS TRIBUNAL...our laws protect criminals instead of victims

So someone can just accuse me of being manipulative and I have committed a crime? No thanks. Are they braindead? I thought there were already laws in force where charges could be laid and an abuser arrested if the police saw evidence of such abuse, whether the abused person wanted to press charges or not?
