For those suggesting Inky Mark had no knowledge of the content of Bill C-71's licence verification requirement, I'm just gonna leave this right here

I mean, if you profess knowledge of every single line of a bill....

It has been 4 months since the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting and the RCMP have still not released details about the guns used. The refusal to share information used in mass shooting is, historically-speaking, new. https://t.co/g9xMLK8eiY

BREAKING: Eight children were killed in an "extensive" mass shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana, police say. The suspected shooter is also dead. https://t.co/1xabSsCIaW

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Six years ago, 22 people were killed in the deadliest mass shooting in Canada’s history.

Today, we remember the lives that were taken. We hold their families, their loved ones, their communities, and all of Nova Scotia close in our hearts. And we renew our responsibility to remember the victims not only in mourning, but in sustained, meaningful action to build a safer country for all Canadians.

The deadline is fast approaching. Declare your prohibited assault-style firearms before March 31. After this date, you will no longer be able to seek compensation. Submit your declaration today:

[Blake Brown @RBlakeBrown]

In my latest Op-ed in the Globe & Mail I note that the reluctance of Canadian police to release info about the guns used in mass shooting is, historically-speaking, new. "Canadians deserve to know what guns were used in the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting.

What we do for each other, what we receive from each other. Open hearts when the world falls apart. This is grace.

Tumbler Ridge is full of grace tonight.
