Activists won’t rest until official public inquiry into shootings is called
“. . .
Nova Scotia RCMP has been heavily scrutinized for their response to the mass shooting that left 22 victims dead, and the failure to send an Emergency Alert to residents. The rally on Monday afternoon highlighted these among the 22 reasons why activists demand an inquiry be called.
“Because the victim’s families asked for a public inquiry and were denied; because the murders are rooted in gender-based violence and misogyny,” read Martha Paynter from Women’s Wellness Within.
Activists across the country have also called for an inquiry with a feminist lens, one that investigates and acknowledges the role of domestic violence, gendered violence and femicide in the shootings.
