Inquiry finds police failures in Nova Scotia mass shooting, calls for change to end gender-based violence.

A public inquiry into Canada's worst mass shooting found widespread failures in how the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) responded to the incident and recommends that the government rethink the RCMP's central role in the country's policing. The report also says the RCMP missed red flags in the years leading up to the Nova Scotia rampage, which left 22 people slain by a denture maker disguised as an RCMP officer. The commission calls for a future RCMP where the current 26-week model of training is scrapped and replaced with a three-year, degree-based model of education, as exists in Finland.
