RCMP to provide update today on investigation into mass killing in Nova ScotiaNova Scotia RCMP are expected to provide an update Thursday on their investigation into the mass killing in April that claimed the lives of 22 victims. They... They gonna tell us the truth though? Cuz the truth won't fit Bill Blair's narrative about the dangers of legal guns. Are they going to discuss how much they failed that community? How they could have stopped it in its tracks in 2013? I hope it includes this info. Like how RCMP knew he had illegal guns and did Nothing. Our government needs a serious overhaul because they keep giving criminals more rights than law abiding citizens. And you CTV are complacent Are they investigating their own botched actions? Or is this just another report cultivated by Blair to further a misguided agenda?
