   Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised to push through stricter   
   gun legislation as the death toll from the country’s deadliest mass   
   shooting rose to 22.   
      
   The gunman opened fire at various locations across the northern part of   
   Nova Scotia, Canada, killing 22, including a police officer and one minor,   
   before authorities could shoot the suspect and take him into custody   
   nearly 12 hours later, when he died.   
      
      
   Police determined the first crime scene to be a home in Portapique, where   
   bodies were strewn inside and out.

   “I can say that we were on the verge of introducing legislation to ban   
   assault-style weapons across this country,” Trudeau said during Monday's   
   daily coronavirus briefing, which centered largely on the weekend’s   
   tragedy. Police in Nova Scotia have yet to release what kind of weapon was   
   used in the attack.   
      
   “It was interrupted when the pandemic caused parliament to be suspended,   
   but we have every intention of moving forward on that measure, and   
   potentially other measures, when parliament returns,” Trudeau added,   
   according to Canadian outlet CTV.   
      
   Canadian parliament was suspended in March and has been tied up in a   
   lengthy negotiation over when it should return and in what capacity amid   
   the coronavirus pandemic.   
      
   During the 2019 federal elections, Trudeau campaigned on tightening   
   Canada’s gun laws by banning all military-style assault weapons and   
   helping provinces or territories to issue their own handgun bans.   
   "Canadians are tired of excuses and know that 'thoughts and prayers'   
   don’t make our communities any safer,” Trudeau’s Liberal party wrote in   
   its platform.   
      
   It's time to get ride of Justin Trudeau.
