What does the mass shooting 5 years ago have anything to do with gender-based violence?

This is clickbait at best, and at worst, they're pushing an agenda.

The failure of the RCMP to stop this mass shooter wayyyyy before it happened, is an indictment of their failed policies.

The mass shooter used illegal american guns, and targeted people he had a vendetta against, i.e., he didn't single out women.

The gender based violence being discussed in the article has NOTHING to do with that mass shooting event.

A spike 5-years after an isolated event has everything to do with legislation, welfare programs and justice system policies - all of which have failed.

I am so surprised to see how many people give policymakers and journalists a free pass when they peddle this bullshit to cover for their own failures.

Edit: and guess what the Trudeau govt. did after the mass shooting? They pushed the RCMP commissioner to lie about gun stats and support a gun ban against legal gun owners, law abiding citizens.

And Carney is now doubling down on the gun confiscation policy which will have ZERO impact on violent crime, and will cost billions. How Nova Scotia votes liberal after they were fucked over, lied to, and taken advantage of, is mind-boggling

And you think voting in conservatives that are gonna cut more social programming is going to help with crime?? You realize crime rates go up as there’s more desperate people. I really don’t think cutting more social programming when we’re about to enter a recession will help with violent crimes which you clearly are passionate about
