MPs, Conservative leadership candidates and public figures expressed outrage on Twitter over news RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki pressed her colleagues to release details on the April 2020 mass shooting in Nova Scotia to bolster support for Liberal gun control legislation..Pierre Poilievre was strident. “These people are sick,” he tweeted. “We need emergency committee hearings to investigate the Halifax Examiner allegations that the RCMP boss promised PMO to ‘leverage’ mass murder for Liberal political gain. […] The victims families deserve the truth — as do all Canadians.”.Conservative MP Dane Lloyd called the revelations “damning,” while Prince George-Peace River-Northern Rockies MP Bob Zimmer called them “beyond shameful.”.Okanagan MP Dan Albas said the news was “alarming” adding, “Liberal MP Taleeb Noormohamed actually just asserted on @PnPCBC that asking questions on this alarming situation is ‘undermining our institutions.' Of course Trudeau Liberals would rather everyone look the other way. It is pathetic.”.But Dan McTeague, an 18-year Liberal MP through 2011, said the event itself undermined public confidence..“And you wonder why the loss of faith in our institutions…This is galling… Let’s see Trudeau trolls try to get out of this one.”.Thornhill, Ontario MP Melissa Lantsman reminded Canadians of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s words from February 2020: "We are not the kind of country where politicians get to tell the police what to do.”.Brantford MP Larry Brock wrote, “Further political interference from Justin Trudeau and his Minister Blair. A year after he pressured and then fired Jody Wilson-Raybould, our 'true feminist' asked the RCMP commissioner for a favour. Unlike JWR, she didn’t push back.”.Foothills MP John Barlow agreed. “This is unreal for the PM to intervene in criminal investigation for political gain. More unethical Liberal behaviour, SNC all over again?”.Leslyn Lewis wondered, “Are there any depths this government won't stoop to? Any pain they won't exploit? Any ethics that they respect?”.Unelected Conservative leadership candidates also weighed in. Roman Baber tweeted: “The separation between government and law enforcement is an essential pillar in our democracy. If the RCMP Commissioner tried to use her office to help @JustinTrudeau's political objectives, she must tender her resignation.”.Jean Charest wanted a resignation and an investigation..“We need an independent investigation to get to the bottom of whether the Trudeau gov't directed the RCMP to advance their partisan agenda at the risk of jeopardizing a criminal investigation of a mass murderer. This is grounds for resignation,” Charest tweeted..Dr. Stephen Ellis, Conservative MP from Nova Scotia, retweeted Evan Solomon’s response to a statement from Brenda Lucki. Here, Lucki denied jeopardizing the investigation into the mass shooting. Regarding the meeting where she reportedly promised Federal Safety Minister Bill Blair to release details about the shooter to aid gun control legislation, she said, “I regret the way I approached the meeting and the impact it had on those in attendance.”.Solomon wrote, “The RCMP commish statement doesn’t come close to ending the questions raised by the commission about what she allegedly said according to Officer Campbell’s handwritten notes — which, if true — would point to political interference.”.All of this left Jordan Peterson with questions: “Is there simply no level of scandal that can bring the @JustinTrudeau government down? Every week something happens that in normal times would force Parliamentary dissolution.”.Western Standard’s Cory Morgan called the incident “Another reason Alberta needs its own police force,” adding, “It sounds like before the bodies had even cooled after the worst mass shooting in Canadian history, the RCMP commissioner was meddling with the investigation to see how it could benefit Trudeau. Heads had better roll over this.”
