The claims that the Trudeau Liberals attempted to politically interfere in what the RCMP was doing in the immediate aftermath of the Nova Scotia 2020 mass shooting are incredibly alarming, very concerning. The public inquiry has released a whole variety of documents, including notes from RCMP Superintendent Darren Campbell, who is based in Nova Scotia. In his notes, he says that the Commissioner Brenda Luckey demanded that the gun used in the shooting be publicly released, because it would help the Liberals with their firearms legislation.

00:00:00.000 The claims that the Trudeau Liberals attempted to politically interfere in what the RCMP was doing
00:00:05.560 in the immediate aftermath of the Nova Scotia 2020 mass shooting are incredibly alarming,
00:00:12.040 very concerning. So what's going on in this situation is there's a public inquiry, and the
00:00:17.040 public inquiry has released a whole variety of documents, including notes from RCMP Superintendent
00:00:22.900 Darren Campbell. He's based in Nova Scotia. In his notes, he says that RCMP Commissioner
00:00:28.900 Brenda Luckey, she came to them after they gave a press conference and said, you guys have to
00:00:33.740 publicly release the gun that was used in the shooting, information about the gun, what the gun
00:00:38.420 was, because she had promised Public Safety Minister and the Prime Minister's office that she would
00:00:45.020 release this information, she would get it out publicly, because it would help the Liberals with
00:00:50.220 their firearms legislation. Wow, it would help them politically. This is not a good thing. Now the
00:00:58.520 government is denying it, and ministers are saying, no, it's not the case, or he must have been
00:01:02.320 confused, but why would this guy lie? Why would he put this down if it's not true? I don't know,
00:01:07.940 maybe it's not true, but why would he make the claim if it's not correct? And here's the other
00:01:11.860 thing, Brenda Luckey is not actually entirely denying it. She's released a statement, I'm going to read to
00:01:16.420 you from some of it here. She says, the meeting included the flow of information to RCMP National
00:01:21.860 Headquarters on the investigation and the public release of information. It was a tense discussion,
00:01:26.680 and I regret the way I approached the meeting and the impact it had on those in attendance.
00:01:31.440 So she's acknowledging she was pushing for information, and she acknowledges that the
00:01:35.000 meeting didn't go so well, nor does she really flat out fully deny the particulars of what Campbell
00:01:42.600 is saying. This is not a good situation, and maybe if it was a one-off, we would go,
00:01:48.300 okay, maybe it didn't happen this way, but it reminds us of the SNC-Lavalin scandal. Again,
00:01:52.620 political interference in how the law is supposed to function, what the police do,
00:01:57.160 what the prosecution does. This story is very problematic.
