MCC Day 63 - Gender Based Violence Participants Recommendations

The second day of phase three of the Mass Casualty Commission proceedings featured presentations and discussions on how gender based violence can be addressed. I discuss how it may not be through the MCC that such issues are best addressed, as it has not yet been compellingly argued that domestic violence is the best lens through which to assess what happened. The RCMP 'psychological autopsy' suggested that the killings were Wortman's way of humiliating his spouse, but it seems just as likely, if not more so, that his target was the RCMP itself.
