The Facts

  • The final report issued by the Mass Casualty Commission investigating Canada's worst mass shooting in its province of Nova Scotia in 2020 has called for overhauling the country's federal police force and stricter gun regulations.

  • Released Thursday, the inquiry claimed that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) missed red flags bout the gunman's violent behavior in the years leading up to the fatal rampage.


The Spin

Left narrative

The Mass Casualty Commission’s report sheds light on the growing problem of gun violence in Canada. Its thorough examination and recommendations will hopefully lead authorities to take the necessary steps to ensure that the country will never experience an event like that again. The "right to bear arms" isn't part of Canada's laws, and bold measures need to be taken to remove guns from Canada's streets.

Right narrative

The Mass Casualty Commission’s report is manipulating one of Canada’s most deadly tragedies to push the Liberal gun ban agenda. While measures to prevent tragic attacks like the one in Nova Scotia should undoubtedly be implemented, waging an assault on Canada's police force and legal gun owners isn't the right course of action.
