TRURO, N.S. 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.
A commission found there was confusion, poor communication and inflexible thinking among the police during a 13-hour rampage in 2020 in which 23 people died.
The recommendations from the final report into the Nova Scotia mass shooting of April 2020 will decrease future violence if acted upon quickly and taken seriously, commissioners say.
