In Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, thousands have been taking to the streets to protest the death of George Floyd at the hands of a police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. Canadians might wonder why recent events in Nova Scotia, Canada, did not likewise drive people into the streets.
Back in April, a denturist named Gabriel Wortman, disguised as a police officer, began shooting people at random. Instead of putting out an emergency alert in the style of measures against COVID-19, the RCMP opted for Twitter, not universally used in Nova Scotia or anywhere else.
