The New Reality: April 17

On this episode of The New Reality, it’s been one year since a gunman went on a 13-hour shooting and burning rampage in Nova Scotia, killing 22 people. The RCMP’s response has been heavily criticized, and major questions remain unanswered. As Sarah Ritchie reports, families are still on a quest for accountability from the Mounties, the provincial government and the federal government. And what does the Nova Scotia massacre, and the RCMP’s response in the initial hours and months since, say about systemic problems inside the force? Dawna Friesen sits down with Garry Clement, one of the leading authorities on policing in this country. He says persistent problems inside the Mounties – including at the leadership level – are putting communities across Canada in peril.
