The RCMP is an extremely troubled police force (like many). There was a mass shooting event in 2020 in rural Nova Scotia, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the RCMP response made Uvalde look good in comparison. RCMP officers attacked civilians at a designated safe shelter, failed to warn the public of the danger for 12 hours leading to more deaths, and there is circumstantial evidence that the shooter himself may have been a RCMP confidential informant. There has been no credible investigation or accountability. The podcast Canadaland Commons has an episode on the Portapique incident I highly recommend.

Accountability for police forces and other elements of the criminal justice system seems to be a critical unsolved problem in western societies.

100%, RCMP is extremely corrupt and incompetent.

The RCMP knew for years in advance that the shooter was building a near perfect replica of a police vehicle and did nothing about it.
