    1. @Andra Book He covered his bases though. Mark Furey was shuffled out of justice minister, and then there was another cabinet shuffle. The inquiry went away right?

    1. @Dapper Canuck That;s what I SAID! its not being dumped in AB. But in QC and ON and the eastern coastal provinces is was being dumped. He stopped one of those sites.

  1. A few weeks ago, Premier McNeil wanted an independent inquiry into the shooting, and now he’s retiring? Is it just me or is this odd?

    1. Mark Furey served as Justice Minister for several years. He stalled the inquiry. Then was shuffled to another position, and then another position in 3 months.

    2. They had legislation ready to rock as soon as the news broke. The bodies were warm and we had no details on the firearms used, yet new gun legislation was rolled out. If that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know, I don’t know if there’s any hope for you.

  2. The cover up happening in Nova Scotia is terrifying to watch for the rest of Canada. It is very very scary stuff.

      Ok, wasn’t sure what you were talking about. Someone else said it might have something to do with a twelve year old babysitter.
      I believe there’s a huge cover up. I had dealings with the RCMP over drug dealers and informants myself personally.
      It really opened my eyes as to what levels of our public service protect drug dealers. RCMP, CPS, Town Council’s, Town Police, and Provincial Politicians. All of them seemed like they answered to someone else. It seems like they’re all in the drug game.
      I don’t want to say too much, I certainly don’t want to get wacked.

  3. He is such a leader. Running from the inquiry. Who paid the shooter? That’s all we need to know to see who was behind it.

  4. this is a real sign a federal election is about to be called,,,, happens every time, and a change in government after,

  5. This news shocked me, since there’s no current scandal. probably will be one in the next few weeks that’ll arise from the waters..

    1. that or hes unhealthy (with those deep breaths) less sitting on the beach and more exercise doing yard work will fix that

      5:07 i thought he was gonna cry lol
