U.S. Consulate in Nova Scotia emailed alerts warning of active shooter

[shockedcanadian]

How many U.S citizens in Nova Scotia did the U.S consulate save? Who knows, but they were on the ball while Canadas Federal police force, were not. One lady who is a dual citizens said on CBC said she received an email from the U.S consulate while the RCMP didn't alert Canadians via the Emergency Alert system, while hours passed by and this guy shot countess people and burned some in their homes.

Compare Canadian police to those in Texas who fought a man who had kevlar on. The differences in their response is like night and day. If he had conducted these cowardly crimes in Toronto, he might STILL be on the loose.

U.S. Consulate in Nova Scotia emailed alerts warning of active shooter

HALIFAX — As an active shooter was on the loose in Nova Scotia Sunday morning, the U.S. Consulate in Halifax sent emailed alerts to its citizens warning of the danger at a time when the RCMP was using Twitter to communicate the news.

Questions have been raised as to why no emergency alerts were transmitted to Nova Scotians' cellphones and television screens as a rampage was underway that would leave 23 dead, including the gunman.

When Premier Stephen McNeil was asked Wednesday why the province didn't issue an emergency alert based on the Mounties' Twitter feed, he said emergency officials couldn't act until the RCMP had prepared an approved message.

"That's the protocol in place when it comes to the (Emergency Management Office)," the premier told a news conference.


"The lead agency is the one that has to put the message together. We would not go from what's happening on Twitter .... No message was received, even though EMO had reached out a number of times throughout the morning to the RCMP."

At a news conference Wednesday, RCMP Chief Supt. Chris Leather said police received a 911 call of a firearms incident in Portapique, N.S., at 10:26 p.m. Saturday. They soon determined there had been a homicide but did not realize the suspect had left the area they were searching until 8:02 the next morning, he said.

He said the EMO contacted the RCMP at 10:15 a.m. to ask about sending an emergency message, and police were crafting a message when the suspect was killed almost two hours later.

As I recall, owning a firearm for personal defense is a none starter in Canada, how's all that government mandated safety working out for you up there? Don't expect return of your gun rights anytime soon, Canadians doubling down on that pajama baby speaks for itself, the important thing is you are safe because that pajama baby and friends are making it so....

We have more experience with bangy-shooty people in the US, so the word gets out faster.

That's about all I could come up with.

Is this an unusual happening with shooters in Canada? You had one the other day and apart from that and this one I had not heard of mass shootings before. Is this do you think something related to the lockdown ie. Cabin Fever and going on the rampage?

We have gun violence also. Maybe not as much as America but more than other nations. We also seem to have more than our fair share of general terror attacks, we had one attack by a radical white guy who attacked a mosque, we had two terror attacks within months in Toronto including a truck running over people on Yonge Street (our most populated street), and a terrorist gunman on the Danforth. We've also had attacks on our parliament when our former PM was within the building and was at risk.

You can even go back years ago to the male attack on women in Montreal where an angry male, isolated and murdered female engineering students and that was back in 1989, before Columbine. A horrific story which breaks ones heart.

Ultimately, Canadian police aren't going to stop all of them. Nobody can, and I don't blame police for failing all of these, it's impossible to prevent them all. Where I give absolutely no quarter is when police agencies waste resource chasing rabbits and protecting their own bad apples and abuses, especially via covert means.

For instance, for every low performing lying operative that interferes with someones career or general life pursuits, that is one less low performing lying operative to focus on gunmen like these. We may not have the more courageous or honest police operatives, but those few we do, should be focusing on legitimate threats, instead of protecting their agencies.

As someone who has reached out to most U.S governors (and all along the border), mayors of big cities, business leaders and half of the E.U allies we have to provide them fact over fiction, names and details at my own choosing, I can say, their efforts to pursue CYA has woefully backfired and only hurt our nation.

Their gun control laws work fantastically well. They have far, far, far less mass shootings than we do.

And their gun homicide rate is one-sixth of the United States.

We have one every few days.

We have plenty of violence and worse, abuses, while enjoying far less liberty. We are a nation of 37M or so, in the second largest physical mass on the planet. Imagine we had a smaller nation but 10x the population as you have, coupled with the vast freedoms you have, including a Constitutional protected right to bear arms? We'd probably have the same stats as you, possibly worse since we are socialist.

With great power comes great responsibility. You are more free, no matter what any Canadian tells you. Liberty isn't easy, unfortunately there will always be more casualties, just as there is also much greater success, innovation and open debate.

Please explain this...

They have access to guns........long guns especially....so what magic to their laws keeps them from taking their long gun and murdering people........?

We had 10 mass public shootings in 2019......

10 individuals out of over 320 million people did mass public shootings in this country...

600 million guns in this country.

18.2 million people can legally carry guns for self defense in this country..........

So...10 individuals out of 320 million people...care to tell us what percentage of the population that is?

And....gun crime is going up in Canada....how do you explain that?

EDITORIAL: Politicians silent on street check ban increasing gun crime

The fact gang and gun violence in Toronto has skyrocketed since police were banned from doing street cheeks makes them uncomfortable, lest they be accused of racism by anti-police activists if they acknowledge it.

And so at City Hall and Queen’s Park they ignore reality, saying they’re hiring more police officers, implementing new shift schedules to more effectively deploy the force and investing more money in policing and programs to address the root causes of violence.

Despite that, since street checks were banned in 2014, the number of shootings compared to 2019 is up by 178%, victims by 218% and shooting homicides by 63%.

Last week, recently retired police officer Sue Fisher, on the force for almost 32 years, told the Sun’s Sue-Ann Levy that the end of street checks allowed the “bad guys to take over … there’s no longer that fear (among the criminal element.)”

Today, Fisher said, officers are often running from shooting to shooting after the fact, as opposed to doing proactive policing, like street checks, to gather intelligence to prevent shootings before they occur.

Why Gun Violence Is Surging In Toronto



According to Canada's government statistics agency, gun violence overall rose by more than 40% in Canada between 2013 and 2017, with much of that increase driven by incidents in Toronto.

Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders says that the city's recent gun violence has been connected to gang activity.

In a press conference in August, he said the Raptors incident and the August shootings "by and large have street gang connotations to them," pointing to the gang membership of the victims and those arrested. There is a thriving gang culture in Toronto centered on the illegal drug trade, largely in the city's poorer outer suburbs.

As I recall, owning a firearm for personal defense is a none starter in Canada, how's all that government mandated safety working out for you up there? Don't expect return of your gun rights anytime soon, Canadians doubling down on that pajama baby speaks for itself, the important thing is you are safe because that pajama baby and friends are making it so....

Looks like they need tougher gun laws

I read somewhere that there is already legislation in the works. No more AR's.
I've seen nothing about what kind of gun he used (was it an AR?) or how he set all those fires. Did he kill the people inside first? Pretty grisly that they were still finding dead bodies in the ashes two days later.

What a crazy fucker that guy was.

And wouldn't that be stupid to ban a rifle that kills fewer people each year than lawn mowers do.......or knives, or clubs, or pools........

Here in the U.S. there are over 18 million AR-15 rifles in private hands........they used to kill fewer people each year than lawn mowers.....

We had 10 individuals who committed mass public shootings in 2019 out of over 350 million Americans.......

So...there is no rational reason to ban this rifle....

How many U.S citizens in Nova Scotia did the U.S consulate save? Who knows, but they were on the ball while Canadas Federal police force, were not. One lady who is a dual citizens said on CBC said she received an email from the U.S consulate while the RCMP didn't alert Canadians via the Emergency Alert system, while hours passed by and this guy shot countess people and burned some in their homes.

Compare Canadian police to those in Texas who fought a man who had kevlar on. The differences in their response is like night and day. If he had conducted these cowardly crimes in Toronto, he might STILL be on the loose.

U.S. Consulate in Nova Scotia emailed alerts warning of active shooter

HALIFAX — As an active shooter was on the loose in Nova Scotia Sunday morning, the U.S. Consulate in Halifax sent emailed alerts to its citizens warning of the danger at a time when the RCMP was using Twitter to communicate the news.

Questions have been raised as to why no emergency alerts were transmitted to Nova Scotians' cellphones and television screens as a rampage was underway that would leave 23 dead, including the gunman.

When Premier Stephen McNeil was asked Wednesday why the province didn't issue an emergency alert based on the Mounties' Twitter feed, he said emergency officials couldn't act until the RCMP had prepared an approved message.

"That's the protocol in place when it comes to the (Emergency Management Office)," the premier told a news conference.


"The lead agency is the one that has to put the message together. We would not go from what's happening on Twitter .... No message was received, even though EMO had reached out a number of times throughout the morning to the RCMP."

At a news conference Wednesday, RCMP Chief Supt. Chris Leather said police received a 911 call of a firearms incident in Portapique, N.S., at 10:26 p.m. Saturday. They soon determined there had been a homicide but did not realize the suspect had left the area they were searching until 8:02 the next morning, he said.

He said the EMO contacted the RCMP at 10:15 a.m. to ask about sending an emergency message, and police were crafting a message when the suspect was killed almost two hours later.

And if one of the victims had a gun and ended this piece of shit....they would now be in jail for it.

The longer this takes the more it seems likely the guy did not use an AR-15 rifle.....

I say this because Prime Minister Black Face....justin trudeau....wants to enact another rifle ban.....so if the guy used a scary black rifle, it seems like they would have been screaming about it in every news report on the attack...

22 people killed with a hand gun? Would show how stupid Canadian gun laws are....

Canadian police failed to issue timely public alert about Nova Scotia gunman

Canadian police officials said on Wednesday that they failed to issue a timely public alert about the gunman responsible for the Nova Scotia shooting rampage last weekend that left 22 dead.

The police refused to disclose what types of guns were used in the mass killings, specifically, whether a handgun was used.

And now? The Canadian shooter was banned from owning any gun because of a conviction in 2002........so.....the Canadian gun control laws worked just as expected......

BREAKING: Nova Scotia mass shooter BANNED from owning guns after 2002 assault conviction

The fearless source of news, opinion, and activism that you won't find anywhere else.

www.rebelnews.com

The gunman in the massacre that left at least 19 dead in Nova Scotia had been prohibited from owning firearms after an assault conviction stemming from an incident more than 18 years ago.

He was also required “not to own, possess or carry a weapon, ammunition, or explosive substance,” according to court documents.

Wortman was further required to attend “for assessment and counselling in anger management” as directed by his probation officer.

Sooooo....what the Canadians really need? They need to pass a new law that says when they pass a new law, they really, really, really mean it.....and that you shouldn't break the new law because it is, in fact, a new law, and they don't want you to break it....

Had they passed that kind of law, I am sure this guy would have obeyed it and not murdered 22 people....

So.....you have a nut....a nut banned from buying, owning or carrying a gun......who has a gun because he got it illegally.

He is going around shooting people....people who don't have their own guns so they are easy to shoot and kill.

The police, the ones the anti-gun extremists tell us should be the only ones to have access to guns........don't tell the people there is a nut with an illegal gun running and driving around murdering people...so they don't even know to lock their own doors or to hide....

So...gun control in Canada worked exactly as designed.....good people did not have guns ......the police had guns....... the killer had gun/guns......... it worked like a charm.
