The Ottawa Shootings that Led to Bill C-51
February 16, 2016
Why Is the Government Not Interested in Solving the Crime?
Presentation by Prof. Graeme MacQueen
On October 22, 2014, an armed man, having killed a soldier, ran into the Parliament Building. The incursion and its aftermath eased the passage of Bill C-51 (in May 2015), which expands the powers of security services. Despite calling the attack "the most serious security breach on Parliament Hill in history," the Canadian Government has not satisfactorily explained how or why a troubled, homeless man would carry out an the act.
Every person in Canada has lost civil rights because of the October 22 event.
Every Canadian has reason to insist on knowing what happened on that day and why.
