"A police search after Zito’s death found more than a half dozen firearms in his home, as well as ammunition for rifles and pistols and an illegal silencer for muzzling the sound of gunshots."
"The report said that to meet Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s election campaign promise to bring in 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of 2015, changes were made to the screening process."I feel safer already.
"The screening period was shortened to 96 hours from 30 days, for example."
