RCMP's former commanding officer named Fredericton's next police chief

Roger Brown previously led the force through the shootings of 3 Moncton Mounties and the shale gas protests

Roger Brown, the former commanding officer of the RCMP in New Brunswick, has been hired on as Fredericton's new police chief. (CBC)

 

The former commanding officer with the New Brunswick RCMP has been named Fredericton's new police chief. 

Roger Brown, former assistant commissioner of J Division, was announced as the city's newest police chief at Monday night's council-in-committee meeting.

"I am looking forward to working alongside the employees of the Fredericton Police Force, the rest of the team at the City of Fredericton, and the citizens in our community," Brown said in a statement. 

"I feel very fortunate to have been afforded this unique leadership opportunity."

Brown, who didn't attend Monday's meeting, will take on the new position on June 11. Leanne Fitch, the current Fredericton police chief, will retire the day before.

Brown was appointed to a three-year renewable term. 

Former RCMP Assistant Commissioner Roger Brown provided information after police apprehended Justin Bourque, who was wanted for one of the worst mass shootings in the force's history, in Moncton on Friday, June 6, 2014. Three RCMP officers were killed and two injured in the shooting spree. (Andrew Vaughan/Canadian Press)

"I am confident that Mr. Brown is bringing the right combination of skills and experience to lead the talented women and men who work at the Fredericton Police Force," Mayor Mike O'Brien said in a statement. 

Brown has 36 years of policing experience with the RCMP. He started as a constable in Rivière-du-Loup, Que. After that, he made his way up through the ranks of J Division.

Most recently, he has been speaking across Canada about the mental health issues facing first responders and the shift in leadership required to address the matter.

2 major incidents as J Division head

Just days after starting his job as commanding officer on Oct. 1, 2013, Brown had to defend the RCMP's handling of shale gas protests near Rexton, which featured dozens of arrests after a confrontation that saw six police vehicles burned, weapons seized, and heavy police response.

On June 4, 2014, three members of the Codiac detachment, constables Douglas Larche, Dave Ross and Fabrice Gevaudan, were murdered in Moncton.

On the heels of the Moncton shootings, Brown also had to deal with Cpl. Ron Francis, who drew national attention in his campaign for improved services for Mounties suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder by smoking medical marijuana in his RCMP uniform. Francis was ordered to turn in his uniform. He later took his own life.

According to the RCMP, the cause of the collision is currently under investigation. (Marc Grandmaison/Canadian Press)

Brown also implemented a provincewide mental health strategy and developed a sustainable core services model aligned with current fiscal restraints.

Brown eventually retired from that position in 2016, after a 36-year career with the force.

Joining the Fredericton Police Force

The Fredericton Police Force has faced its own series of challenges over the past few years. 

In August, two Fredericton police officers, Const. Sara Burns and Robb Costello, were killed after a gunman opened fire at an apartment building on the city's north side. Residents Donnie Robichaud and Bobbie Lee Wright were also killed.

Victims of the Fredericton shooting from left to right: Const. Lawrence Robert (Robb) Costello, 45, and Const. Sara Mae Helen Burns, 43, Donald Adam Robichaud, 42, and Bobbie Lee Wright, 32.

Accused Fredericton shooter Matthew Raymond is charged with four counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of those four people. 

Meanwhile, several Fredericton police officers have faced various misconduct charges while off duty over the past few years.

According to dog cognition scientist Alexandra Horowitz, the guilty look that canines give their owners is not necessarily an expression of guilt. She calls this 'an expression of appeasement' as the dog is reacting to the anger of the owner. (Matt Cardy/Getty Images)

Who are we?

Members of the public frequently confuse the NBSPCA with the local
SPCA shelters.The NBSPCA is the umbrella organization for the SPCA
movement in the province.  It encourages (and must consent to) the
creation of local SPCA branch societies, in which there are currently
11.  All of these municipal and regional SPCA branches maintain animal
shelters where animals in need can be taken and held for adoption. The
NBSPCA itself does not operate animal shelters or provide adoption
services. Branch societies are represented on the board of directors
of the NBSPCA and co-operate with the NBSPCA but otherwise, they
operate largely independently of the provincial body. (For a list of
New Brunswick SPCA branches and shelters, see Shelters.) However, the
primary role of the NBSPCA is to provide Animal Protection services
for the entire province of New Brunswick which includes all domestic
animals as well as agricultural animals (including livestock), as
mandated by the NBSPCA Act. The NBSPCA is also largely responsible for
providing humane education to the public and as well as animal
advocacy.

In addition, the NBSPCA holds a contract to provide Dog Control
services in rural NB communities and conducts Pet Establishment
License inspections on behalf of the Province of New Brunswick, as
well as independent contracts for dog control services for additional
small villages and towns.

The NBSPCA main office is located in Fredericton, NB with 2 full-time
employees to manage all operational functions (an Executive Director
and an Office Manager) and 2 full-time employees to oversee
enforcement (a Chief Animal Protection Officer and a Deputy Chief
Animal Protection Officer). In addition, there are currently 9
full-time Animal Protection Officers employed throughout the province
as well as multiple part-time/contract Animal Protection and/or Animal
Control Officers, all of whom work remotely.

The organization is overseen by a province-wide Board of Directors
which consists of a President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary,
Members-At-Large that are elected at the Annual General Meeting, and
representatives from each of the 11 shelters.

About time. The penalties for animal abuse in this country are a joke.

David R. Amos

@Alex Forbes Methinks Sections 444 to 447 of the Canadian Criminal Code are no joke N'esy Pas?

https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/AnnualStatutes/2008_12/page-1.html

S.C. 2008, c. 12

Assented to 2008-04-17

An Act to amend the Criminal Code (cruelty to animals)
SUMMARY

This enactment amends the Criminal Code to increase the maximum penalties for animal cruelty offences.
R.S., c. C-46

Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate and House of Commons of Canada, enacts as follows:

1. Sections 444 to 447 of the Criminal Code are replaced by the following:

Marc Martin

@David R. Amos

Who cares...

Jack Forester

@Alex Forbes As is plainly obvious by them letting him walk out of court until sentencing! It was a horrible crime and he IS a PROVEN flight risk! WTH?! He should have been remanded until sentencing! I'm sure he's long gone by now!

David R. Amos

@Marc Martin "Who cares..."

Methinks its rather obvious that the Crown you work for certainly does Its their law N"esy Pas?

Jeff LeBlanc

If only I was a dictator...people like Kyle would be eliminated.

Marguerite Deschamps

@Jeff LeBlanc, Trump, is that you?

SarahRose Werner

@Marguerite Deschamps - Nah, Trump would be more likely to give this loser a medal.

Marguerite Deschamps

@SarahRose Werner, gues who was the one muted?

David R. Amos

@Marguerite Deschamps Methinks we should have no doubt as to why N'esy Pas?

David R. Amos

Methinks a lot of people must recall my defense of Werner Bock and his animals N'esy Pas?

Marc Martin

@David R. Amos

Not really.....

David R. Amos

@David R. Amos Methinks the NB SPCA and the RCMP will never forget my dealing with them from 2006 until 2009 N'esy Pas?

Nestor Neville Nelson

@David R. Amos

Yo! Amigo Amos!

Que pasa with that
chronic "N'esy Pas" nonsense again?

Marguerite Deschamps

@David R. Amos, do tell, Mr. second coming of J. J. Robinette!

David R. Amos

@Marguerite Deschamps Methinks your beloved liberals were wise to steer clear of this dogfight and let the judge do his job as Carr and Austin yap up a storm in the pursuit of political gain N'esy Pas?

 
Albert Wade

Time to make SPCA officers bilingual. That should fix it.

Mack Leigh

@Albert Wade

Yes, that is supposed to fix " everything " here in NB...

David R. Amos

@Albert Wade YUP

Jack Forester

I bet that come April, when he due to be sentenced...he will be gone like the wind! Probably already is. He should have been remanded. He IS a flight risk and a danger to others (2-leeged & 4), and I want some answers as to why he was let go for now?!

Mack Leigh

@Jack Forester
He should also have been sent for an evaluation because to do something as cruel as that there is definitely something " off " mentally, in my opinion.... Speaks to much larger problems...... Should never be allowed to own an animal again........ Makes me wonder if he should even be allowed around children , seniors or other vulnerable individuals...

Jack Forester

@Mack Leigh Exactly...Jeffrey Dahmer (among others) started this way...and something tells me it's not his first time being this cruel. I'd be willing to bet that he has a long history of being like that. After what he did, I think he presents a danger to the general public and that the justice dept over-rules that lame judges decision to let him out till sentencing, and issues an arrest warrant forthwith and put him where he belongs!

Marguerite Deschamps

@Jack Forester "...that the justice dept over-rules that lame judges decision to let him out till sentencing...." - What?

David R. Amos

@Marguerite Deschamps Welcome to another Circus

Marguerite Deschamps

@David R. Amos, agreed!

Fred Knox

@Mack Leigh You are absolutely right.

 
Mack Leigh

Thank you Kris Austin, Jeff Carr and Lisa Paulin for speaking out against this atrocity ......

David R. Amos

@Mack Leigh Methinks your political bias is showing N'esy Pas?

 
JJ Carrier

Cases like this? Three to five years in jail, $10,000 fine to go to SPCA causes, and the criminal should be put on a dangerous owner registry so he never has contact with a pet again...Simple...His driver's license should also be suspended because a person who cannot live in society should not be able to transfer in it without supervision...

David R. Amos

@JJ Carrier "Simple...His driver's license should also be suspended because a person who cannot live in society should not be able to transfer in it without supervision"

Methinks you should ask Mr Higgs and his minions how I am dealing with that particular issue right now N'esy Pas?

 "We are outraged that they [SPCA] will not enforce the law," she said, adding the New Brunswick SPCA should also be ensuring the dogs are being cared for properly.
"That's not acceptable and we have a law that prevents that. Yet, they will not enforce the law."

• SPCA 'shocked' by number of calls since tethering law introduced

• 79 dog tethering complaints filed since new rules took effect

The group raised the issue during the SPCA's annual general meeting Sunday in Fredericton.
During the meeting, SPCA officials acknowledged the tethering of sled dogs is an issue. They said because tethering is a generally accepted practice in the sled dog industry, they have difficulty enforcing the law.
Tony Porter, chief animal protection officer with the New Brunswick SPCA, refused to do an interview with CBC on Sunday.

 

 

Animal protection in New Brunswick needs more teeth, minister says

Jeff Carr says rules can be strengthened to protect pet population

Angela Bosse· CBC News· Posted: Jan 09, 2019 2:43 PM AT 

New Brunswick Environment Minister Jeff Carr says he's been meeting with animal advocacy groups to discuss improvements to animal protection laws. (CBC)


Environment and Local Government Minister Jeff Carr said his department is looking into improving animal protection laws after a New Brunswick man pleaded guilty Tuesday to animal abuse.

Kyle Springer, 27, will be sentenced in April for leaving his dog, Diesel, to starve to death in a locked home for two months.

Carr, who met with an animal rights group Wednesday, said rules can be strengthened in New Brunswick to protect the pet population.

In particular, Carr said his department is looking at the New Brunswick SPCA's code of practice on animal care. The code, which has yet to be passed into legislation, was drafted in conjunction with animal rights groups and the Department of Environment and Local Government.

• Dog starved to death after owner left it home alone for 2 months

"There's a whole host of different items in it, right from keeping a safe space for a dog to stay in when they are outside, as far as sizes of doghouses, to how you walk your dog … a lot of it is code of practice that should be common sense for people, and some of it should be regulation," he said.

"That's the goal of everybody, I think, to move the code of practice closer to regulation and to put some more teeth around what our enforcement officers can have to stand behind."

Outside the Woodstock courthouse where Springer appeared Tuesday, animal rights advocates called for people to use their voices to speak up for abused animals.

"It's really important that everyone get out and speak to their MLA, speak to their advocacy group, everyone needs to play a part in protecting animals," said animal advocate Lisa Paulin.

"We need [the government to] step forward and change legislation," added Wendy Hallihan, another animal rights activist.

Lisa Paulin says people need to use their voice to call upon government to strengthen animal protection laws in the province. (Shane Fowler/CBC)

Tony Porter, chief animal protection officer for the New Brunswick SPCA, said the group is always looking for ways to improve animal protection and meets with the Department of Environment and Local Government regularly.

"As people don't understand, and I fully appreciate that, these changes don't come overnight," Porter said.

Porter said it would be premature to disclose what specific improvements the SPCA and provincial government are currently looking at to strengthen legislation.

• Dog tethering rules take a bite out of SPCA budget

Porter did say increasing punishments for offenders may be a way to alleviate problems.

Educating the public

In addition to improving regulations and enforcement, Carr said public education is key to reducing animal abuse.

He would like to see a public awareness campaign and more work done in the school system with the New Brunswick SPCA to educate people on what to do if they can't care for their animals or if they suspect abuse is taking place.

"If people are overwhelmed with the care of their pets, reach out to these groups of people that are there to help, the NB SPCA as well as the advocacy groups … don't sit in silence and let your pet suffer," Carr said.

People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin said his party is also beginning research to look into how the SPCA Act of New Brunswick could be improved.

People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin said his party plans to look at New Brunswick's current animal protection laws for ways they can be improved. (CBC)

"We're open to finding ways to either make the legislation tougher or beef up enforcement," Austin said.

"The injury done to the animal is bad enough in and of itself, but when you look at the nature of the individual doing these things, it would certainly question … their ethics toward human life as well."

Austin said ensuring animal protection officers can properly enforce the act is key, and perhaps stricter punishments for repeat offenders.

"People that do these types of things, you have to question if they are fit to be in society."

NDP gets help from democracy expert

CBC News· Posted: Jan 09, 2006 4:23 PM AT

An international expert on democracy has flown all the way from Egypt to help NDP candidate John Carty campaign in Fredericton.

Dominic Cardy is with a group called The National Democratic Institute. Its members include such people as former U.S. President Jimmy Carter. The group's mission is to teach democratic values and spread democracy around the world.

Cardy has taught about democracy in Algeria, Bangladesh, and Cambodia during the past few years. When he heard his friend John Carty was running for office back in his home town of Fredericton, he hopped on a plane.

"It was a strange experience," Cardy said. "One evening I was watching the sun go down over the pyramids, and the next evening watched it go down over Fredericton airport as I came into land."
Cardy is no relation to the NDP candidate. But he loves elections and loves getting people pumped up about democracy.

Carty the candidate is running against federal Indian Affairs Minister Andy Scott, Conservative Pat Lynch, Green candidate Philip Duchastel and independent David Amos. The riding has sent Scott to Ottawa for the last four elections, despite the best efforts of the other parties.

Cardy says he doesn't care how tough the race his – he just wants people to participate in the process. "People have forgotten how incredibly precious these gifts that our ancestors fought for are and were just giving them away. It makes me furious when I talk to people and people just say 'ah there's no point in voting.'"

After election day, Dominic Cardy is flying back home to his wife in Kathmandu, Nepal. He hopes to leave behind a new Member of Parliament for Fredericton, his friend John Carty for the NDP.

Dear Mr. Amos,

Thank you for your follow up e-mail to me today. I was on days off
over the holidays and returned to work this evening. Rest assured I
was not ignoring or procrastinating to respond to your concerns.

As your attachment sent today refers from Premier Graham, our position
is clear on your dead calf issue: Our forensic labs do not process
testing on animals in cases such as yours, they are referred to the
Atlantic Veterinary College in Charlottetown who can provide these
services. If you do not choose to utilize their expertise in this
instance, then that is your decision and nothing more can be done.

As for your other concerns regarding the US Government, false
imprisonment and Federal Court Dates in the US, etc... it is clear
that Federal authorities are aware of your concerns both in Canada
the US. These issues do not fall into the purvue of Detachment
and policing in Petitcodiac, NB.

It was indeed an interesting and informative conversation we had on
December 23rd, and I wish you well in all of your future endeavors.

 Sincerely,

Warren McBeath, Cpl.

RCMP examine deaths of 5 dogs just before SPCA seizure

CBC News· Posted: Mar 07, 2008 4:05 PM AT

 

RCMP are investigating the deaths of five dogs that were about to be removed from a property in Minto, N.B., by the local humane society.

The Society for the Prevention to Cruelty to Animals, accompanied by the central New Brunswick village animal control officer, were conducting an inspection of the property on Thursday when the dead dogs were found, said the police.

Keith Barton had applied for a licence for Pet Me Kennel, said animal protection officer David Lynch, and a follow-up inspection was being conducted after he had been told to clean up the property.
It was determined that the property still didn't meet kennel standards when a puppy and its mother were found on soiled, wet blankets, Lynch said.

No charges possible if animals died humanely

Barton was playing with the dogs in the yard as the 11 Pomeranians began to be seized, Lynch said.

 The protection officer said he noticed Barton takings dogs into a shed and thought he was looking for privacy to say goodbye to the animals.

"When he came out of the shed, he put on a coat. He sat on a chair on his back step, and he never said a word ," Lynch said. "I went into the shed to take the animals, and that's when I discovered that … they were dead."

Five of the dogs inside the shed were dead and one was seriously injured, Lynch said.

He then called the RCMP, and Barton was arrested. He was later released. No charges have been laid.
Police said they are investigating to determine how the dogs died. Charges cannot be laid if it is shown that the animals died in a humane manner.

"We're still waiting to hear back from the SPCA on cause of death, and we'll go from there," said Cpl. Mike Beauchamp.

Barton told CBC News that the dogs were killed humanely.

The dog that was injured is recovering at a veterinary hospital.

Charges laid in connection with deaths of 5 dogs

CBC News· Posted: Apr 14, 2008 3:25 PM AT

A Minto, N.B., man has been charged in connection with the deaths of five dogs in March.

Minto RCMP laid six charges of injuring or endangering animals against Keith Barton in the Burton provincial court on Monday.

Five dogs were found dead and a sixth one seriously injured at Barton's Pet Me Kennel in March.

Barton is also facing three counts of failure to provide food, water, shelter or proper care, charges that were filed by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Officials from the SPCA, accompanied by workers from the central New Brunswick village animal control office, arrived at Barton's kennel to seize 11 Pomeranians after it was found that the property did not meet kennel standards.

Barton was observed playing with the dogs in the yard before taking several of the animals into a shed.

When officials later went into the shed to collect the animals, five dogs were found dead and one was seriously injured.

N.B. justice minister calls for stronger animal protection laws

CBC News· Posted: Feb 11, 2009 3:30 PM AT

Justice Minister T.J. Burke is calling on the federal government to strengthen animal protection laws in the wake of a New Brunswick court decision that has outraged many pet owners.

Keith Barton of Minto killed five dogs with a hammer in April when SPCA officers went to his kennel to seize his 13 dogs. Judge Patricia Cumming acquitted him on Feb. 3 of killing the dogs, saying the evidence showed the dogs were rendered unconscious when they were hit with Barton's carpenter's hammer and therefore they did not suffer.

That ruling has riled SPCA volunteers and politicians to call for stronger laws.

Burke said amendments must be made to the province's SPCA Act as well, but he's also calling on Ottawa to reform sections of the Criminal Code of Canada.

Burke said the way the Criminal Code is written now does not address "cruel and unusual injury causing death" to animals.

"It seems that the range of situations covered in this section of the Criminal Code is incomplete, and warrants an examination," Burke said in a statement posted on the New Brunswick government website.

Barton also hit a sixth Pomeranian but it did not die. He was found guilty of injuring that dog and also fined under the SPCA Act for failing to give proper care to his dogs.

The justice minister said the Barton case may cause pet owners to think they can kill animals for any reason as long as the animal does not suffer.

Shannon Walsh, a Fredericton SPCA volunteer, is rallying people who share her frustration with the current laws through a new website, a group on the social networking site Facebook and public events.

"I started speaking to people and began looking for information on what could be done to change animal cruelty laws. I realized very quickly that federal legislation was the root of the issue and the only way we could protect animals was to have new legislation passed," Walsh said in a statement.

MLA fielding dozens of complaints over weak laws

Oromocto Conservative MLA Jody Carr said he has received "a few dozen" complaints since Barton was acquitted on animal cruelty charges, which is he said is quite high for his riding. The only issue that has generated more complaints in recent years is about Agent Orange being sprayed at the Canadian Forces Base Gagetown.

Carr is organizing a public meeting on Thursday, where he hopes to outline the different options open to frustrated people who want to see the provincial and federal laws changed.

"I think many people have had that favourite dog or that favourite pet, so it touches peoples heart strings," Carr said.

"I think this issue has brought it over the top."

Carr said he's glad to see that the province's attorney general is echoing earlier calls for change by Fredericton Conservative MP Keith Ashfield, who is the minister of state for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency.

The Oromocto MLA said there needs to be a better definition of property and domestic animals, so a person cannot kill an animal and avoid criminal responsibility.

Farmer blames heat rays for cows' deaths

RCMP officer assured Werner Bock that aliens are not flying over his farm

CBC News· Posted: Jun 12, 2012 6:47 AM AT | Last Updated: June 12, 2012

A cattle farmer from the Petitcodiac area is facing a charge for failing to give his cows adequate medical attention but he argues there is a conspiracy against him that involves heat rays harming his animals.

Werner Bock is charged with failing to give his cows adequate medical attention but he told a Moncton provincial court on Monday that someone is after him and his animals.

Bock accuses the RCMP and veterinarians of ignoring what's happening on his eastern New Brunswick farm.

He said he's lost up to 200 animals in the last 10 years and he's posted a video on the internet where he claims to expose the mystery. The farmer says heat rays are to blame for his cows’ deaths.

Bock goes on to say the authorities are refusing to take him seriously about the heat rays.

"This was covered up by the veterinarians and then it was covered up by the RCMP," he said in a video.

The video also shows pictures of thin cows that are losing their hair.

In a pre-trial meeting on Monday, Bock tried to subpoena three provincial veterinarians and three RCMP officers to testify.

Provincial Court Judge Jolene Richard noted two of the individuals will already be testifying. But they will be testifying against Bock as witnesses for the prosecution.

As for the others, the judge said she wasn't sure how relevant they would be to the trial.
Bock wants to call a veterinarian who found no evidence of burns on his cows.

He also wants to call a police officer he says assured him there were no aliens flying over his farm. Bock said he doesn't believe aliens had anything to do with the death of his cows. He said the RCMP dismiss his concerns and try to raise the issue of aliens to discredit his concerns.

The trial will be held in September.

Charges against cattle farmer Werner Bock dropped

Crown withdrew 2 counts of failing to provide proper food and water because cows have been sold

A New Brunswick cattle farmer is no longer facing charges of failing to care for his animals.

Werner Bock had testified lasers and heat rays killed his cattle. (CBC)​

 

Werner Bock, 70, of Petitcodiac, had been charged with two counts of failing to provide proper food and water to his cattle during the spring of 2011.

 

But the Crown withdrew the charges under New Brunswick's SPCA Act in Moncton provincial court on Thursday, saying Bock has sold his cows and the herd no longer needs protection.

Bock had claimed the case against him was a conspiracy by the government, veterinarians, the RCMP and CBC.

He testified that lasers and heat rays had killed his cows.

In December, Bock had been found unfit to stand trial. A psychiatric assessment showed he was suffering from a delusional disorder.

Judge Troy Sweet had adjourned the case until June 19 and released Bock on the conditions that he keep the peace and report to Moncton Mental Health for assessment and treatment.

Crown witnesses had testified about a pile of carcasses under hay bales, a dead cow in a brook and others buried in the woods.

History of the NBSPCA

The New Brunswick SPCA was incorporated by an act of the provincial legislature in 1881, after fifteen citizens of the city of Saint John had petitioned the legislative council for the creation of such a body.

One of the first public acts of the new Society was to commission a drinking fountain for horses in 1882 that still exists in uptown Saint John, New Brunswick. As that action suggests, the chief humanitarian concern of most early SPCAs was with horses and their abuse. The modern SPCA focus on companion animals followed the decline of the horse for work and transportation in the twentieth century. The movement to found animal shelters (which mostly serve companion animals) also followed this shift of emphasis. Livestock and their protection, however, has been a continuing concern of most SPCAs.

In 1911 the NBSPCA Act was amended to change the name of the Society to the “New Brunswick Society for the Prevention of Cruelty” and to expand its mandate to the protection of women and children. This step conformed to the practice of many other societies in England and North America.

The Victorian “protection” movement had begun with the anti-slavery campaigns, and its broad humanitarian focus embraced oppressed peoples, women, children, animals, and the poor. Not until 1958 was the name and mission of the Society in New Brunswick changed to again place an exclusive focus on animals. By that time, interventions to protect women and children had become increasingly a mandate of government or specialized private societies.

Very little has been written or is known about the NBSPCA’s first 80 years. The rare surviving papers hint at predictable themes: debates over amendments to the act or the Society bylaws; successful prosecutions for animal abuse; minor disputes about governance; and occasional financial crises, sometimes triggered by seizures of livestock and the resulting expenses of boarding and legal defences.

The Society seems to have had no employees other than its network of part-time inspectors, and no fixed office. Funding came from donations and membership fees, contributions by a few well-to-do supporters, and charitable trusts. In addition, the Society seems to have had modest and irregular funding from the provincial government and the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies, at times during the 1960s and ’70s. Branch societies in the larger cities, mostly created after WWII, were usually better-financed than the provincial body, and in some cases assumed responsibility of paying for humane enforcement within their municipal boundaries.

In 1961 Senator Frederic A. McGrand of Saint John, then President of the NBSPCA, appointed Brian Davies from Oromocto as a part-time Inspector. In 1965 Davies became the Society’s Executive Secretary, its first full-time employee. With the backing of the NBSPCA, Davies threw himself into campaigns against the leg-hold trap and for more humane methods in Canadian slaughterhouses. From there he moved into the campaign, already gaining momentum in the early 1960s, to regulate or stop the hunt for young harp seals off the coast of Newfoundland. Both Davies and the NBSPCA quickly rose to national attention through the NBSPCA Save the Seals Fund that Davies created 1965. Although Davies enjoyed strong support from the NBSPCA, in May, 1968, the board of directors voted to split the Society off from the save-the-seals campaign and return to a focus on the protection of domestic animals in New Brunswick. The split seems to have been an amicable one, however. Davies for his part in 1969 converted the NBSPCA Save the Seals Fund into the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), which remained centred in Fredericton. In 1977 Davies took the IFAW out of New Brunswick and to the United States, after the Canadian Federal Government threatened to revoke the organization’s charitable status. IFAW is today one of the largest animal rights organizations in the world.

Davies’ leaving the NBSPCA plunged the Society into a financial crisis, although the exact causes and circumstances of the crisis are unclear. By the end of the 1970s the Society had righted itself, now under the leadership of Executive Director Ray Ward. Although the Society maintained a small network of part-time Inspectors, funding was precarious through the 1980s. Many functions had been assumed by the larger branch societies, and the NBSPCA itself was relatively inactive. (For more on this episode in the history of the NBSPCA, see Christy Clarke, IFAW Begins: Brian Davies and the New Brunswick Humane Community (unpublished MA thesis, the Department of History, the University of New Brunswick, 2009)).

The 1990s brought a revival of government interest in the NBSPCA and in animal protection issues. In 1996 the Liberal government of Frank McKenna appointed an SPCA task force. Acting on the recommendations of the task force, the legislature in 1997 passed amendments to the SPCA Act. These modernized the act, set up the current system of government-sanctioned Animal Protection Officers (replacing the older inspector system), established the new APOs with the status of peace officers, and gave the government greater authority over the Society’s operations. Under new president James Little (elected in 1997), change came rapidly, including a shift of the Society’s office from Moncton to Fredericton and a one-time grant of $150,000 from government for training and implementation (1999).

Under Chief APO Paul Melanson, the corps of APOs underwent a rapid professionalization after 2000 (although most remained part-time officials). Exercising their increased legal authority, the officers launched a number of large puppy mill seizures that raised public awareness of the Society, but that generated large expenditures. By 2005 the Society was in financial difficulties, and was obliged to turn to government for special grants to cover its campaign against puppy mills.

The financial difficulties of the Society were eased somewhat in 2009, when the NBSPCA assumed the contract to provide dog control services in the rural areas, a service previously delivered directly by government. The new financial stability allowed the Society to move to its current offices on the grounds of Fredericton’s former experimental farm, to hire a number of full-time staff, and to assume complete financial responsibility for animal protection in the province. In 2010, after years of advocacy by the Society, government proclaimed new legislation establishing mandatory inspection and licensing of pet establishments (including dog kennels) and giving the NBSPCA authority for that licensing. In 2010 the Society established a province-wide hot-line that could be used by the public to report allegations of cruelty and abuse. The NBSPCA was also assisted in these years by a substantial bequest from the estates of Forbes and Ruth MacLeod, long-time SPCA supporters in New Brunswick. By 2012, after a challenging decade of growth and change, the Society had attained a level of functioning and stability comparable to those of other provincial SPCAs in the smaller provinces of Canada.

SPCA seizes 45 dogs in Saint-Basile

The northwestern N.B. kennel was unlicensed

CBC News· Posted: Jan 17, 2012 8:06 PM AT

All of the seized dogs were sick with eye or ear infections and infested with fleas and mites. (CBC)

The New Brunswick SPCA has shut down another puppy mill in northern New Brunswick, seizing 45 sick dogs from a home in Saint-Basile.

The owner could be facing charges of neglect and failing to provide proper medical care, said chief animal protection officer Paul Melanson.

"All the dogs have had either an eye or ear infection," he said.

"They were infected with fleas and mites and there has been five that had been in vet care since the seizure due to the condition of them."

Chief animal protection officer Paul Melanson says the SPCA is receiving more tips from the public. (CBC)

 

The dogs were seized late last week after the SPCA received a tip about the unlicensed kennel, which is located near Edmundston, said Melanson.

As of December 2010, all kennels in the province have to be licensed and inspected on an annual basis.

"It's becoming more prevalent and I think that the public is realizing since the licensing started, they're looking to see the facility before they buy," said Melanson.

"We get a lot of phone calls asking if the people are licensed or not."

The latest seizure is the second major one in the area in the past two-and-a-half months.

On Oct. 27, 149 dogs, including newborns, were taken from another unlicensed kennel.

The five dogs from the latest seizure that are too sick to be moved are being housed at a clinic in St. Jacques.

Meanwhile, the Oromocto SPCA took in 25 of the dogs, while the other 15 are at the Fredericton SPCA.

All of the dogs will be bathed, dewormed, and vaccinated and many will be placed in foster care until they're adopted.

In my humble opinion Stevey Boy should get you to sue somebody because
his lapdogs are truly defective and should never be allowed out of the
house to mingle with the public. Are you Neo Cons feediny your puppies
coco puffs instead of something nutritional for their brains to
develop properly.

FYI I am a very Proud Canadian and definitely not a Yankee. everybody
and his dog knows that excepting of course your sick puppy. Perhaps a
Neo con lawyer such as youself can enlighten Barry Baby Winters, EH
Tricky Dicky?. Furthermore how the hell could I bother this puppy's
mother when I do not even know who he truly is yet? Hell it appears
that this sick puppy even wants to bite the old folks as he hangs out
at the Golden Arches? Don't you Nep Con's know that the children of
people you were elected to serve and protect love to go there? Perhaps
you Neo cons your RCMP/GRC underlings should muzzle on their shill and
put him on a very short leash ASAP before he hurts somebody or get
himself hurt. EH Stevey Boy?

As soldiers and historians love to say "Live by the Sword Die by the Sword"

 EH Barry Baby?

I say the word is mightier than the sword as long it is the truth.
Liars such as you hang yourselves with your own words every day of the
week. That is a simple fact that even your mind with a purportedly
High IQ should easily grasp. All somebody who is "Too stupid to live"
has to do is cut and paste your words just like you do to me and
maintian my Integrity and my "Live Free or Die"  attitude. who are you
people to decide that only the wise guys deserve to live? Mean old
Maritmers and their children have every right a you do to enjoy this
wonderful only world.

The big differnce between a far west  liar and an honest Maritimer is
that the liar cuts and pastes an honest man's work and inserts it out
of context within his diatribe as twists all the words to suit his
malicious ends in what he thinks is aclever fashion. A dummy such as I
will merely post all of your words and allow others to sort out the
truth from the malicious propaganda for themselves.

Trust that all Maritimers are not dumb defeatists as Stevey Boy Harper
and the rest of you wacko Western arseholes love to think we are. In
my humble opinion one does not have to be all that clever to smell
your Bullshit. I bet even the dumb French Blogger Chucky Lelanc and
alll his Fake Left pals in Fat Fred City smell it bigtime. They are
just too chicken to do anything about it tis all.

Today I am merely proving what the dumb bastards can never deny
anyway. That is that you are one nasty little man working for
malevolent Feds who clearly picked a fight wit a Martimer who will not
suffer from bullshit anymore that he supports the evil of longstanding
governnents within ANY purported Democracy not just Canada and the
USA..Why else are our soldiers fighting overseas today? Ain't that the
same issue Barry Baby?

A song, thoughts, funny articles and observations ...the dirt dug by
David Amos.
Saturday, January 27, 2007"Its all about me"Mr. Paul N McCulloch once
wrote this about Remembrance Day:Remembrence Day...Posted on
2004.11.11 at 12:25I for one HATE remembrance day. It is a day of
Hypocracy.the overtmessege: Lest we forget, never again, etc... they
push that war isterrible, look at what these people had to go through
for your freedom,never let that happen again, honour them for their
sacrifice.

TheUnderlaying messege: Look at what these men went through for you?
ifthe situation arose, you should go as well. They gave their lives
foryou, we honour them for that, why won't you give your life when
thetime comes? war is glorious, people who die in war are honoured
fordecades to come. dying in war is heroic.We all see the overt
messege,but the REAL messege is almost subliminal, we don't quite know
it isthere, or if we do we mostly brish it off. I used to hate
remembranceday services, i hated the damned poem in flanders fields
for themindless repetitive ritual of it. Now i hate the day all
together...for the hypocracy, and mindless repetitive ritual of it
all.

I wrote this to the young man.

Mr. McCulloch, before you blaze up, and toke up this evening
inpeaceful, tranquil bliss, please remember this:It is gratifying to
receive all those appreciative messages backing ourforces in
Afghanistan. The men at the sharp end.The Paras put it
succinctly;"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night, because
rough men standby to do violence on their behalf"(close quote Barry
Winters)

Twenty-five Canadians were murdered on 9/11. Dozens of aircraft,
allpotential flying bombs were diverted to Canadian airfields, that
day,each one a potential catastrophe.Canadian trade, Canadian markets
and millions of Canadians livelihoods,their ability to feed their
families was impacted by this very real act of war.

This attack, strike, "cassus belli" was planned, co-ordinated,and
launched by Al Quida from a failed state run for terrorist by
theTaliban.Denying Afghanistan and other failed states to terrorists
and thosethat have issued a fatwah and declared global jihad against
us, is what will keep us all safe here at home. As surely as my
Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry and ParaRegimental
forefathers fought and died to protect Canada in generations
past.....our troops do the very same now.

Whence, no girls and few boys attended school in Afghanistan,
sixmillion boys and little girls attend school. Six million children
witha future thanks to the sacrifice of Canada, Canadians and
fightingCanadian soldiers.Your thoughts about "subliminal" and "overt
message" bespeak of your very small world.

Your world is all about you. An Alberta ranch boy, a cowboy, lied
about his age in 1943 to join the Canadian Army and on June 6, 1944
Walter Clifford Winters and his brother Delbert Winters landed on Juno
Beach. Your grandfather andgreat-uncle. They did so because ....their
worlds were large.

I have served. I have no time for people and folks for whom it is
"allabout me".It is indeed a good thing that I have decided that we
shall never meet,nor speak.God Bless our soldiers and our Battle
Group.Posted by snipernco at 11:50 AM 0 commentsThursday, January 25,

I wrote this humorous article , yet alas it has offended Little David"


2007Viva la difference....noWomen are from Venus, men are...regular.
Men are happy. Men are welladjusted. Men are at peace. Men are
regular.Women eat fibre every day. Concern themselves greatly with the
cleanliness of the commode or facility. Hell, some of them turn on
thebathroom faucet.

They worry about their health, and the prepare for the moment. And
after all of that.....women are still mal-adjusted and weird.On the
other hand once a day "everday" a man goes into the "readin room",
with a cupa coffee and twenty minutes later...the place smellslike a
well enjoyed dump. Out walks a well adjusted well evacuated man.

The late Dr. MacIntirethe first heart surgeon in Edmonto said it best.
"A good cigar, a pairof shoes and a good BM 'everday'"


PM 0 commentsWednesday, January 24, 2007Public Transit and
retards!This morning for the first time in two years I started up my
truck. Itis a new truck, newly purchased, registered and insured. It
is a bigtruck. It is a big ole diesel Dodge 3/4 ton Alberta screw you
greenfreaks truck.

For two years I rode the bus here in Edmonton. The fare is high,
theschedules bad, too many drunks, ersatz disabled and retards. There
isNO reason any intelligent person in Edmonton would use public
transitfor any reason.Last week it was -25C and at 6:15 PM on one of
the city's busiestthoroughfares, I waited 23 minutes for a bus. During
that time,three "sorry Out of Service buses trundled past and one "Out
ofService" bus stopped and the driver raced out to the adjacent KFC
forthe Tooney Tuesday special.

No one in their right mind would use public transit if they had
anoption. I can not recount how many times I have relinquished my
seatfor a some old guy or gal with a "walker". Always this "walker"
ispiled high with shopping and the person pushing the damned thing is
healthier than I.Yes, there must be some disabled transit
system....but these folks using the same system as the rest of public
simply is not working. No one is going to leave their cars at home to
take a bus, to stand sosome poor guy with a motorized apparatus the
size of a Toyota trucktake the space of a dozen other folk.

That is the simple truth. You have welfare mamas with prams the size
of Volkswagen mowing folksdown, whilst their "little darlings" are
screaming. If it isn'tthe "white trash" making your daily commute the
"bus ride from Hell",it is the unwashed, stale beer infused Indian
that just has to sitbeside you.Yes indeed, there is something
egalitarian as hell about all this butNO ONE will pay to "save the
planet" and leave their car at home, toenjoy this little slice of
heaven. Nor should they!Then you have your "droolers" and "gobbers".

Some years ago there weresome billboards. Prominently pictured was
some mongoloid...with the caption, "my place is in the community with
you." On the one bus route I used to take there was a couple of folks
from a group home that regularly used this transit route. One would
sit on the front seats and spit on the seat beside him...every day.
There was the one, forty year old "young mother" with the toy doll in
the pram she had on thebus ...every day. Whilst indeed their place is
"in the community" it isnot on public transit.So now I am "drivin
agin"! Why should I use public transit, or careabout "saving the
planet" if the powers that be can't run publictransit in a
business-like, efficient and manner that satisfies andserves the
customer?

January 23, 2007It's ten o"clock do you know where Granny is?It's ten
PM and do you know where your granny or Mama is? Try the
localMcDonald's, she may well be there drinking "senior's priced"
coffee andtrying to get picked up!

Have you been to McDonalds and watched the same seniors at 9
AMreturning at 10 PM to socialize, drink cheap coffee and probably
getlaid? Screw going to the bar, church groups or even senior celibacy
forthat matter! Just go to McDonalds swill coffee, free refills for
seniors, and engage in a "menage et fifteen or twenty"!

Here in Edmonton when one patronizes those "golden arches" one does
notgo to the can and leave their breakfast or Edmonton Sun
unattended.Your hash browns and newspaper are long gone before you can
get back.Once I did catch some obstreperous, obdurate and unrepentant
geriatric thief in the act. She looked at me and said "what"?

I love the peace of leaving the little lady and family asleep on
Saturdays and hitting Rotten Ronnie's for breakfast and the
week-endeditions of both the National Post and the Globe and Mail.So
here I am at peace with the world and the Globe and Mail and this
frail looking thief is reaching over my breakfast to snag my
NationalPost. I look at the miscreant and say," excuse me, that is
mine".This elderly Jabba the Hut looking guy looks at me and
says,"that's allright I'll give it back to you when I'm done".

I look at "Big Al" andsay, "OK gimme yer car keys, I'll give "em" back
to ya when I'm done"!Gramps has no sense of humour!There is always the
imperious lady butting herself in front of you inline, and tapping her
soggy coffee cup on the counter saying, "refill"!They are never alone.

They are all "ganged up"! Many of thewomen "dress" for the occasion.
It is ten PM at McDonalds and there'sgranny in her best jewellery, her
fur coat and a condom in her purse,humming to herself "I'm lovin it"!

the Canadian Army is "ready aye ready"! At Lundy's Lane itwas first

In 2006 I ran against the ex cop from Springhill Murray Scott when he was the Attorney General of Nova Scotia. This was done after raising a lot of Hell about my concerns about the RCMP et al while running in the elections of the 38th (Fundy Royal) and 39th (Fredericton) Parliaments. Later in 2006 I ran in the provincial election in NB while preparing to sue the Crown in Federal Court in Fredericton just as I had promised to do during the aforementioned elections. Trust that In had some interesting battles with the RCMP and many other corrupt cops in Nova Scotia long before Mikey Savage and Murray Scott became Mayors and the dude Kinsella came down here to be the latest HRP Chief. However in 2004 a war began with the RCMP and the Fredericton Police Force that all their past and present bosses are well aware of particularly the MMC Commissioner Fitch

Just read the Palango Article in Frank Magazine. Might post a link.. In it, Paul Palango did a great job laying out the bits and crumbs that lead for me to only one logical conclusion. That being that this whole tragedy resulted from a blown under cover operation. The fact that Wortman went on rampage nine days after an uncover op was closed and the fact that the Government, the MCC and the RCMP have absolutely zero interest in exploring these facts when attempting to shed light on what happened speaks volumes at 11 on the Marshall Amp with me...A great article if I do say...

 

David Amos

Perhaps you should put down the phone you don't have and read my blogs about you RCMP/Palango/Seamus sheople?

 @Little Grey Cells  So you say but you cannot deny the wicked email I sent you before the news broke correct?

 

 

 

 

Beth Lynch

I posted a link a few mins ago and now gone? Just wondering if you deleted it, Seamus?

·

Little Grey Cells

I did not. I checked the held comments and found a comment made by yourself on yesterday's Brenda's video. I approved it. Is that what you are referring to?

 

Beth Lynch

No, it was a link to something from Canadian Tribune re 10 officers from BC in some disciplinary measures for various allegations. You may already have the info. Thanks for the reply, and the endless hours you have dedicated to this case since the beginning.

 

Little Grey Cells

 @Beth Lynch  is it possible for you to email me the link? Probably CSE fun deleting but I can repost. Maybe they will be less likely to delete?I never want to have responses... get disappeared. We all have to work together against this tyranny with our brains collectively. Nsinvestigators@gmail.comGod bless you Beth and God bless the 23 ️

NO HARRY POTTER MAGIC HERE, JUST THE HELLS ANGELS 

By Paul Palango

The deliberate murkiness about Gabriel Wortman’s associations with criminals in the years prior to his deadly killing sprees has led to much speculation about what he was really doing.  The RCMP says it couldn’t find any serious organized crime connections in Wortman’s past. The Mounties couldn’t figure out where his money came from. The Mass Casualty Commission– the Spinquiry, as we call it – isn’t all that curious about any of it, either.

We don’t know precisely what Wortman was doing all those years before he killed 22 people on April 18 and 19, 2020, but several police sources have provided Frank Magazine with a potentially helpful road map.

It begins with Hogwarts.

We’re not talking about Harry Potter’s magic school, but rather Project Hogwarts, a joint-forces police operation that began in Nova Scotiain 2016.

The information about Project Hogwarts was provided to Frank Magazine by a group of current and former law enforcement officers who are familiar with aspects of what had taken place. One of them is Jimmy McNulty, the pseudonym we use for a source we’ve been talking to for this story since almost the beginning. 

“In 2015, the Atlantic provinces started seeing a new stage in the proliferation of outlaw motorcycle gangs,” said Jimmy McNulty.  “The Hells Angels were moving east, setting up in Charlottetown and Nova Scotia. The Red Devils, the Angels’ number one support club, set up shop in Musquodoboit Harbour. Another support club, the Gatekeepers MC(I remember those guys!-ed.) started opening up clubhouses around the province. They were supported by the Sedition MC and the Darksiders MC.”

It had been about 14 years since the Hells Angels had been driven out of Nova Scotia after a series of devastating police actions, and now the gang was coming back to town, not only in the Maritimes but also across the country. It was part of a strategy to control the illegal drug trade from coast to coast.

The RCMP was on the case. In fact, then Commissioner Robert Paulson had made taking down the Hells Angels his number one crime-fighting priority in Canada. RCMP projects were being initiated everywhere to counter the threat.

“People were noticing that the bikers were setting up shop and began to complain about it all,” McNulty said. “By the spring of 2016, police forces in Nova Scotia, led by the RCMP, tried to tackle the issue. A provincial biker enforcement unit called the CFSEU (Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit) was set up as part of RCMP federal operations. It was called Project Hogwarts. 

“Our intention was to show the outlaw motorcycle gangs that we always control the grounds in our area,” McNulty said. “Our media mouth pieces used fear tactics to rouse the public about the dangers and we began our policing.”

Stories to that end, like one by Keith Doucette of The Canadian Press in late 2016, began sounding the alarm.

“It doesn’t sit well with me for them to be here because I know what they bring with them,” Doucette wrote, quoting RCMP Corporal Andy Cook. “I’ve seen them in action, and they bring violence with them and they bring drug trafficking with them.”

Stephen Schneider, a criminology professor at St. Mary’s University, told Doucette that the Hells Angels were looking to not only control the Canadian market but were likely also planning to set up an export market.

“They are certainly operating pill presses out in B.C. and perhaps they want to start setting up production facilities in the Maritimes so they actually can start exporting,” Schneider was quoted as saying.

Throughout 2016 and 2017, the pages of Frank were littered with biker stories, not only big-picture stuff like who was pulling the strings in Nova Scotia — full-patch London, Ont. HA David (Hammer) MacDonald was one of the top guys — but identifying the comings and goings of many of the smaller players on the ground here, from Annapolis County to Sydney. 

Project Hogwarts was lead by RCMP InspectorAlfredo Bangloy. The “brains” of the operation was RCMP Sgt. Angela Hawryluk.  Other members of the original team included then-Cpl. (now Sgt.) Mike Kerr, RCMP constables Chris Dodge, Scott Morrison, Peter Hurley and Colby Smith. Halifax Police officers on the team included Detective constables Steve Fairbairn, Nathan Cross, Curtis Osmond, Mike Carter, Cory Simmonds and Rebecca Trueman. A civilian working with the unit was Ellen Urquhart.

As the team conducted its surveillance, they became aware of then 47-year-old Robin Moulton, a high-profile Hells Angels Nomad from New Brunswick, making his presence known in Nova Scotia.  The Nomads are elite Hells Angels members who have no set club house and are said to have earned their ranking by having killed for the club, although Moulton does not appear to have ever been charged with murder. Moulton’s lawyer, T.J. Burke did not respond to a request for comment on this or previous stories.

“We focused a lot on Moulton and even put a tracker on his vehicle,” McNulty said. “We followed him back to New Brunswick and were able to identify various real estate and businesses to which he was associated.

“The investigation was proceeding smoothly until the RCMP brass in New Brunswick caught wind that we had expanded into New Brunswick and were chasing bikers on their turf. They were pissed,” McNulty said. “They wanted to shut us down.”

Before that happened, a parallel operation to Hogwarts was set up in New Brunswick – Operation Trident.

The Nova Scotia CFSEU investigation is archived in the RCMP’s PROS record system under file number 2016-979629, McNulty said. The New Brunswick one is filed in the PROS system as 2016-1141937. Frank Magazine will be filing a request to see those files in due course.

In 2016, the outlaw-biker obsessed Commissioner Paulson put assistant commissioner Larry Tremblay in charge of the New Brunswick RCMP. A former member of the Canadian Navy, Tremblay joined the RCMP and rose through the ranks. Between 2004 and 2008 he was seconded to the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. In Ottawa, Tremblay ran national security, financial crimes and serious organized crime investigations until 2014. He then moved into protective services, hobnobbing with the political elite, overseeing security for the Prime Minister, Governor General and Parliament, a tried-and-true steppingstone to the upper echelons of the RCMP.

Tremblay had no sooner hit the ground in New Brunswick when he began to put in place his own hand-picked team to take on the Hells Angels. Many of them were trusted French speakers, like then Staff-Sgt. Dustine Rodier, who took command of the Hampton, N.B. detachment, which was at the centre of the action. people he believed he could trust. McNulty said that many of the investigators from Hogwarts and Trident were rolled into two new operations: Projects J-Thunderstruckand J-Thunder.

Project J-Thunderstruck targeted Hells Angels Nomad Emery “Pit” Martin who was operating in Northern New Brunswick, along the border with Quebec.

Project Thunder’s focus was on his fellow Nomad Robin Moulton and the Red Devils, in particular, in Southern New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

It could be reasonably argued that creating large interprovincial operations made sense, considering that the entire population of the Maritimes is less than that of the city of Toronto.

The new investigators added to the investigation roster included Inspector Deanna Hill, Inspector Ron DeSilva, Staff Sergeants Bruce Reid, Sgt. Eric Lanteigne and Constable Julie Messina.  Other key players included Fredericton Sgt. Mike Berry and Corporal Gerard Crispo. There were additional investigators from RCMP federal services, Fredericton Police, the Canadian Border Security Agency and other policing jurisdictions.

 Here’s where the investigations started to get tricky.

“Any RCMP investigation of outlaw bikers requires an informant, someone the Mounties can control,” McNulty said.

In early 2017, he said, the team was told that the RCMP indeed had a new informant for Project Thunder.

“We were told that they had someone in the Truro-Portapique area who was tied into MS-13 and the Angels,” McNulty said. “The Mounties were hot on it.”

For those familiar with this ongoing saga, the El Salvadoran street gang Mara Salvatrucha or MS-13 – “the most notorious street gang in the Western Hemisphere” – is linked to precisely one person in that area – Wortman’s friend and handyman Peter Alan Griffon.

The RCMP and the Spinquiry have all but made the 42-year-old Griffon invisible in spite of his obvious credentials as a witness that many in the public would like to see testify. Griffon was reportedly working on Wortman’s property in the hours leading up to the beginning of the massacres. He called Lisa Banfield’s phone on a number of occasions. Griffon also told police that he was the person who applied the RCMP decals to a decommissioned police car, creating the near perfect replica of an RCMP cruiser that Wortman used during his 13.5-hour spree. Griffon was never charged and his current whereabouts are unknown.

Parole Board of Canada documents describe the circumstances of his 2014 arrest as part of an investigation into MS-13 elements in Edmonton.

“In December 2014 police were conducting an investigation into a known Security Threat Group(STG). You came to their attention through this investigation and on the same day, police stopped a vehicle you were driving. The vehicle was searched and police found cash, a baggie with 3 grams of cocaine, a black backpack containing approximately 800 grams of cocaine, more cash, a score sheet, a portable hard drive and a camera. Police also located multiple cell phones in the vehicle. 

“A short time later, police searched a warehouse where you were living. A number of items were found, including multiple firearms and ammunition, approximately 4 kilos of cocaine, $30,000 in cash and various paraphernalia used to buff, package, and traffic cocaine. You did not have a licence to possess any of the weapons and admitted to the police that you worked for a cocaine distribution operation and his job was to store, process, distribute, and transport cocaine to traffickers.”

Griffon languished in an Alberta jail for several years, partly because of a day parole violation, and eventually received a relatively short sentence of two years, eight months and nine days.

The obvious problem with Griffon being the sole RCMP informant was that in 2017 he was still imprisoned in Alberta and didn’t win his parole until August 2018. Once he was paroled, Griffon was allowed to move back to live in his parents’ house, which was located several hundred meters south of Wortman’s cottage at 200 Portapique Beach Road.  

“We didn’t get a name on the informant, but I firmly believe it was Wortman and that he was the one who supplied the hydraulic pill presses to the Hells Angels. He fit the profile perfectly,” McNulty said. 

The danger for the police, McNulty added, was that Wortman was also a criminal who might have been playing both sides at the same time.

Wherever the truth lies, McNulty said that there was likely a natural evolution of the relationship between Wortman and the RCMP. Wortman had family members who were Mounties and he associated with police officers on a regular basis. It likely all began with a simple relationship, exchanging information with police officers such as Halifax constable Barry Warnell and RCMP constable Greg Wiley, who visited Wortman 16 times until early 2017.

“The thing to note is that Wiley told the MCC that he had no notes about their conversations, which I find hard to believe. That’s not the way the Mounties roll. They report everything,” McNulty said. “What Wiley did say was that he would check in with Wortman about minor criminal activity in the community. That tells you something right there.”

McNulty and their group believe that as Project Thunder got off the ground, the RCMP relationship with Wortman moved to the next level – agent.

“That’s where the big money is,” McNulty said. “He would have had a professional handler at that point. I believe that Mountie was Constable Peter Hurley. That was his specialty. He was the kind of handler who promised the moon to potential informants and even more so to agents, but the RCMP is notorious for not following through.”

Once New Brunswick took over, Inspector DeSilva, then head of the Federal Serious and Organized Crime Unit, assumed the handler responsibility, McNulty said.

We may never know the true story. It would be a criminal offense for a Mountie to reveal the identity of an informant or agent, even after they are dead. The RCMP undercover manual instructs members to lie to everyone but a judge about such matters. 

What we do know is what we are allowed to know.

When Moulton was arrested in August 2017, he was charged with possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking and possession of a restricted firearm – a 9 mm Beretta. Not much considering all the effort when you think about it.

At the time of his arrest, CBC News asked then Fredericton Police Chief Leanne Fitchabout the investigation. She said: “Getting down into the weeds of any particular aspect of ongoing or past or present issues could jeopardize investigations and officer and public safety, so I won’t be commenting on any specifics.”

In 2018, Moulton received a rather short sentence of four years and six months. 

There was a good reason why that happened, McNulty said.

“The agent was still in place and the RCMP couldn’t reveal everything they knew because that would point to the agent, so they left important things out so they could continue their investigation,” McNulty said. “It could be argued that there was a miscarriage of justice. Moulton’s lawyer wasn’t given all the facts about what the police had been doing.”

The twin projects concluded on April 9, 2020 with the announcement by Inspector DeSilva that two more Hells Angels member and two Red Devils had been arrested in New Brunswick over the previous seven weeks. DeSilva went out of his way to link the arrests to the previous ones of Moulton and Martin, three and two years earlier, respectively. In October, 2021 Martin received a seven-and-a-half year prison term for cocaine trafficking and acting in the benefit of a criminal organization.

“One of the most dangerous times is the end of an operation,” another police source said, echoing the thoughts of others. “By that time, the bad guys, especially the bikers, usually have a good idea about who the rat was.”

Nine days after the projects closed, Wortman began his rampage.

From the closed and dangerous world of outlaw bikers, I continue to hear stories about how Wortman was identified as a snitch and had his life threatened over what happened to Moulton, Martin and the others. No one yet will go on the record, which comes as no surprise, considering the, um, grave consequences.

As for the Mounties, they have their own Hogwarts thing – a magical ability to make controversies disappear into the wind.

In the spring of 2020, around the time of the massacres or shortly afterward, multiple sources say that Hurley was transferred to Ferryland, a small RCMP detachment on the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland, about an hour’s drive south of St. John’s. In recent months, he has taken down his social media.

Others, such as Staff-Sgt. Reid were not so lucky. Shortly before 2 p.m. on October 25, 2019, he committed suicide at a baseball diamond in Rothesay, N.B. Reid suffered from typical psychological maladies affecting many police officers, but those who knew him closely say he was particularly distraught over his unheeded warnings about significant failings in the overall Hells Angels’ investigations. According to sources in New Brunswick, Reid believed a number of people – as many as four – had been murdered during the course of the investigation largely due to the RCMP’s shortcomings. Reid told people that he was worried sick about one of the agents that the force had employed. He strongly believed that the person was dangerous and unsuited to the task, but that no one would listen to him.

Fifteen months after the massacres, New Brunswick Attorney General Hugh Flemming took the unprecedented step of having Asst. Commissioner Tremblay removed from his posting. Flemming stated in a letter to RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki that he had “lost faith” in Tremblay, but gave no specifics about the roots of his dissatisfaction. 

Nova Scotia’s underperforming boss, Assistant Commissioner Leona (Lee) Bergerman, was allowed to resign, as were a significant number of her underlings who were involved in the RCMP response to the massacres.

Before she retired Sgt. Hawryluk was the Mountie in charge of writing the informations to obtain search warrants in the post-massacres investigation. She became a vocal critic of Frank Magazine and me, to the point of lambasting a small store owner near where she lived over his selling my recent book, 22 Murders.

The other trick that the RCMP employs when faced with embarrassment is to promote those who might have failed and safely bury their possible transgressions in the upper echelons of the force. For example, Chief Superintendent Chris Leather was moved to a federal policing leadership role in Ottawa.

Staff-Sgt Rodier was promoted to Inspector and was running the Communicatons wing and 911 operations for the RCMP on the weekend of the massacres. After that debacle she received another promotion to Superintendent.

Superintendent Darren Campbell was given a bump to Chief Superintendent and placed in charge of operations in New Brunswick.

His new boss was now Assistant Commissioner Deanna Hill. She was a key player in Projects Thunder and Thunderstruck and afterward was placed in charge of the RCMP in Newfoundland.

“Tremblay put his people in place all over the Maritimes so that he could control things” McNulty said. “After he was pushed out, they brought back Deanna Hill to replace him. It’s just a continuation of what had been going on. You can’t help but think that they’ve put people in place to protect the untold story that scares the shit out of all of them.”

Next there is DeSilva. We don’t know yet what he really did – and the RCMP would never confirm or deny if he was Wortman’s handler -- but the Mounties obviously thought he did a terrific job. DeSilva was named Officer of the Year in 2017 and eventually was promoted to Superintendent. He is currently the officer in charge of the CodiacDetachment, essentially the municipal police for Moncton and its sister communities of Dieppe and Riverview. That’s where at least three of the four murders may have taken place.

One might think that the Mass Casualty Commission might be interested in poking around in all this, but one of its three Commissioners is Leanne Fitch who, to echo her CBC quote, is not the kind of person who likes “getting down into the weeds” of police investigations. The entire Commission appears to be laser focused on not getting to the bottom of the story, having avoided any potentially embarrassing exploration like that for about six months. 

Its circular logic goes something like this: “We can’t explore anything that we haven’t been able to document, and we are not going to search for documents that we haven’t been told about because our mandate is not to find fault or cause trauma.”

Our mandate is quite the opposite.

If you can lend us a hand, please step forward and tell us what you know. The greater community would appreciate it very much.

The Media and the Murders by Rick Howe

August 6, 2022

by Rick Howe

 

 

 

Most Nova Scotians today know the ba­sics of what transpired April 18th and 19th, 2020 when something snapped in the mind of Dartmouth denturist Gabriel Wortman, who, dressed as an RCMP officer and driv­ing a replica RCMP vehicle, launched a two day murderous rampage that left 22 Nova Scotians and one unborn child dead and the gunman himself killed by the RCMP.

 

It was the worst mass killing in Canadian history and it happened here at home. You might think getting the full story behind what happened would be a priority for the main­stream media. Sadly that has not been the case.

 

Even as the Mass Casualty Commission promises to get to the truth of what happened that tragic weekend, many Nova Scotians remain skeptical. There are some who be­lieve the Commission is party to a cover-up and there never was any intention to reveal the whole truth about the actions of Gabriel Wortman and Canada’s national police force, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. 

 

Critics believe this has become an effort to deflect from the relationship between them. Why isn’t Wortman’s criminal record and his association with a criminal motorcycle gang not part of the MCC inquiry? The crit­ics believe there is an effort to cover-up the RCMP’s involvement or relationship with Wortman and his relationship with the Hells Angels. Was Gabriel Wortman a confidential police informant? Yet there is little effort by the mainstream media to get to the real story, beyond the pablum fed to them by the RCMP and the MCC.

 

I’ll give the Chronicle Herald a thumbs up for facts unearthed by its reporters in the thousands of documents dumped online by the Commission, seemingly an effort to bury pertinent details. The CBC’s Elizabeth Mc­Millan has, through freedom of information requests, also revealed new details. How­ever, it stops there.

 

The mainstream Nova Scotia media need to wake up to the very real possibilities this is much more than just one man’s two day killing spree. Serious questions need to be asked and revealed about events leading up to that weekend, the April weekend itself and the days and weeks following the murders. Where is CTV’s Rick Grant when you need him?

 

Sadly, those days of investigative reporters breaking news stories are long gone. Hali­fax’s all-news talk station has no reporters. When was the last time CTV, CBC or Global broke a major story? CTV for example, has done a reasonable job reporting details from the testimony before the Mass Inquiry Com­mission, but in the days following the mass killings, the mainstream media continued to accept the narrative presented by the RCMP even as details were few, including no accu­rate account of the number of people killed. Radio, television and newspaper reports of­ten included verbatim RCMP news releases. It was left to the alternative media to carry the ball.

 

Thanks to online sites like Little Grey Cells and quasi-news organizations like the Halifax Examiner, and especially Frank Magazine, we began getting details not pro­vided by the RCMP. We were beginning to realize the Mounties were holding key facts from the public. 

 

Frank’s release of the 911 calls from Wortman’s victims and video from his take-down at the Big Stop in Enfield were ma­jor scoops. And Frank’s Paul Palango has been ruthless is revealing more details about Wortman, his criminal record and his asso­ciation with motorcycle gangs and police. He has been a thorn in the side of the RCMP to the point where the RCMP’s media co-ordi­nator referred to Palango as “an asshole.” He alone has kept this story fresh in the minds of those who follow alternative media. 

 

Then there’s the Lisa Banfield story. Wort­man’s long-time companion was indeed a victim of abuse, but the MCC’s decision not to allow cross examination by lawyers for his victims because she was a victim was more evidence for those screaming cover-up. Any effort to question her about her story the night the massacres began was denied. 

 

Why? She is a key witness who could pro­vide more details about what might have set Wortman off and her story about escap­ing handcuffs while locked in the gunman’s RCMP replica police cruiser and spending the night huddled inside a log in the woods is sketchy at best. And again it is only Frank and Paul Palango who are asking ques­tions about her claims. The Examiner’s Tim Bousquet bought into the MCC’s version of events and recently told a critic to “fuck off.”

 

Palango told me quite emphatically this is a story about the failure of police, but he thinks the mainstream media has lost inter­est. Palango says he has no doubt a cover-up is underway. He got support for his claims from an unlikely source, retired CTV anchor Steve Murphy. In two commentaries Murphy agreed there is more to this story than we are being told and suggested the so called conspiracy theorists were on the right track. Murphy also said Lisa Banfield should have been cross-examined by family lawyers. Out­side of his comments, it has been crickets from the mainstream media.

 

”There is no longer a sense of pursuit,” Palango told me.

 

“It’s like the instinct had been bred out of reporters. No one is doing anything.”

 

So many questions need answers. Why did the Mounties call for help from the RCMP in New Brunswick? Why not seek aid from nearby police in Truro or Amherst? Why were highway blockades not set up? Why was a man with known ties to the Hells An­gels and a neighbour and a friend of Wort­man’s evacuated with his father and mother from their home in Portapique while four children whose parents had just been mur­dered huddled in one home for hours? Why was Constable Heidi Stephenson, basi­cally a traffic cop, looking for a killer alone in her police car? Was the gunman a police confidential informant? What was Gabriel Wortman’s connection to the Hells Angels?

 

The truth is out there. But is the Nova Sco­tia media up to the task of unravelling the full story behind this terrible tragedy? Stay tuned. There’s clearly a lot more to learn.

At a time when one might think that the Mass Casualty Commission has all but buried the notion that Gabriel Wortman was either an RCMP informant or, even worse, a paid agent, there are significant holes in the official story that suggest oth­erwise, according to informed sources.

 

One source, close to the operations of Brink’s Security, says they were aware of details of the March 30, 2020 transac­tion in which Wortman made an unusual and even unprecedented withdrawal of $475,000 in $100 bills from the Brink’s Security Depot at 19 Ilsley Avenue in the Burnside Industrial Park in Dartmouth. Security camera video shows Wortman entering the Brink’s lot, going into a “man room” in the building, signing a slip and leaving with a pouch containing the mon­ey.

 

“The authorization to release the mon­ey was signed by the New Brunswick RCMP,” insists the source. 

The money that Wortman received came from the CIBC bank, but was routed through CIBC Intria, a subsidiary com­pany that typically provides cash for ATM machines. That Wortman was able to have money delivered by CIBC Intria to Brinks for pickup was highly ir­regular and contravened all bank­ing regulations, says a banking insider aware of the CIBC’s set up and protocols.

 

“The first rule of banking is that you count out the money in front of the customer,” the banking source said.

 

“It’s all done in person and is filmed. You can’t let $475,000 walk out the door just like that. That’s everyone’s year end bo­nus. The money is counted and signed for. If this was Wortman’s personal money, the bank would never send it through Intria and then have the customer pick it up in a pouch without counting it. There’s too much room for error. That just wouldn’t happen. What this all tells me is that they bent the rules for him because it likely wasn’t his personal money. There was something else going on there.”

 

Both sources are reluctant to go on the record at this time for what should be ob­vious reasons, but one might reasonably conclude that the three Commissioners running what we’ve taken to calling the Spinquiry would be eager to dig deep into these allegations.

 

Such is not the case.

 

Let’s examine what the Commission did and didn’t do.

 

The $475,000 cash withdrawal by Wort­man has put the RCMP and its enablers on the defensive since it was first reported in June 2020 in MacLean’s magazine by me, Stephen Maher and Shannon Gormley.

In that and a follow-up story, we reported that informed police sources told us that the money pick up had all the hallmarks of an undercover oper­ation. Subsequently, as reported in my recent book and in these pages, we have reported addi­tional sourcing for similar trans­actions involving the RCMP in New Brunswick and in Western Canada.

 

In a June 4, 2020 public update RCMP Superintendent Darren Campbell made a statement that the RCMP could find “no evi­dence” of a special relationship between Wortman and the force.

More recently, Campbell provid­ed a more forceful written state­ment to the MCC that was co-signed by Superintendent David Astephen, a for­mer Halifax Mountie who is now director of RCMP National Covert Operations.

 

“There was never any special relation­ship of any kind between Gabriel Wortman and the RCMP. This includes the fact that Wortman was never a confidential infor­mant nor a civilian police agent for the RCMP. Furthermore, a review of our de­partmental security records indicates that Wortman was never employed by, nor a volunteer with, the RCMP.

“The standard law-enforcement prac­tise is not to release information about whether someone was, or was not, a con­fidential informant. This ‘neither confirm, nor deny’ policy is in keeping with the Su­preme Court of Canada’s description of informer privilege as being of ‘fundamen­tal importance’ and ‘an ancient and hal­lowed protection which plays a vital role in law enforcement’… If law enforcement regularly confirmed that certain individuals were not confidential informants while re­fusing to do the same for others, we would in effect undermine our legal obligation to protect informer privilege where it does exist. Such a practise would not only put confidential informants at risk of serious harm, but also discourage the important role that citizens who provide information to law enforcement play in the overall pro­tection of public safety.”

 

As strong as the denial appears to be, it should come with a “buyer beware” warn­ing. Campbell is now helping run New Brunswick’s “J” Division, where there is a seemingly impenetrable lid on what has been going on there over the past few years.

 

Even more interesting is the fact that one of Astephen’s predecessors as direc­tor of National Covert Operations was Su­perintendent John Robin.

 

Remember him? The husband of then Halifax County RCMP boss Janis Gray, Robin inserted himself into the Nova Sco­tia Investigation in April 2021. His side­kick in that ruse was former Mountie Mike Butcher, the husband of then Assistant Commissioner Leona (Lee) Bergerman.

 

Robin pretended to be assigned to the Mass Casualty Commission. He even had a business card proclaiming his make-be­lieve office. That’s what covert operations does. It’s sneaky. Deceptive. And has a lot of tricks up its sleeve.

 

In spite of Campbell and Astephen’s declaration to the contrary, there is the very real possibility that the RCMP has merely doubled down on the big lie about Wortman. That would be the smart move for a desperate organization. After all, who would dare challenge them? Governments? The ocularly challenged mainstream and alternative media?

 

Under Part 31.1, section 3.3 of the RCMP’s covert operational manual this is stated: “The identity of a source must be protected at all times except when the administration of justice requires otherwise, i.e. a member cannot mislead a court in any proceeding in order to protect a source.”

 

Protecting the identity of covert sources — even after their death — is standard policing procedure.

The police can lie to anyone but a judge in a courtroom setting. The Inquiry is not a court. J. Michael MacDonald, the chief commissioner, is a former judge, not a sitting judge. The stakes for the RCMP and governments are enormous, if Wortman were found to have been working for the RCMP. There is good reason for the powers that be to mislead the public. That being the case, one would expect that they would show their every card to prove their position, but that is not what they have done.

 

Opinions masquerading as facts are dished out. There are gaping omissions. What should be there, just isn’t there.

 

In July, the Mass Casualty Commission dumped hundreds of pages of Wortman’s financial records and emails between him and the CIBC. It all looked to be thorough, indisputable and daunting. In those documents, Wortman was shown to be liquidating guaranteed investment certificates (GICs) because of his fear of a banking collapse due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In the emails Wortman pleaded to have the monies sent to Brink’s. It was an unprecedented event and, as we pointed out in this magazine recently, hasn’t been repeated since.

“It was the first time, and I’ve worked there for three years, that we ever had an arrangement like that,” Brinks employee Tiyana Gillis said in a statement to the MCC.

 

“Yeah, it was, it was odd.”

 

It’s important to note that Wortman purchased the GICs in 2016 and 2017. The Commission and the RCMP, however, could not determine the origin of the funds that Wortman had used. Wortman’s own financial records showed a rather paltry income for his businesses, his personal accounts and those of Lisa Banfield, who made around $15,000 one year but drove a flashy Mercedes Benz.

 

In combing through Wortman’s records, forensic accountants working for the RCMP said they could not find the sources of Wortman’s money. That’s extremely curious for two reasons.

 

One: A quality banking source points out that notes on such matters are made and stored forever. And in many cases regular retail customers can access those notes.

 

Two: In Lisa Banfield, who fielded almost every phone call for Wortman and who shared a bank account with him, the RCMP and the MCC had a potential co-operating witness.

 

Did they ask her where the money came from?

 

There appears to be nothing in the public record about her describing the couple’s cash flow and its origins and no way to account for the $705,000 in cash that the RCMP found hidden outside Wortman’s burned-out cottage.

 

Nevertheless, MCC investigator Dwayne King offered this opinion in his report to the MCC:

 

“As a result of the writers reviewing all of the evidence currently available to the Commission, it is the opinion of the writer that:

 

l The $705,000 in cash in not the direct proceeds of street level drug trafficking;

 

l The $475,000 in cash picked up by the perpetrator from Brinks is not payment relating to a confidential informant;

 

l There is not sufficient information available to form an opinion on the original source of funds from the $475,000 in cash withdrawn by the perpetrator. There is also insufficient information available to form an opinion on the source of the $230,000 in currency that made up a portion of the $705,000 in currency that was seized.”

 

It should be noted that Toronto Police Department sources describe King as be­ing part of then former Police Chief Bill Blair’s inner circle on the force before he moved on to politics. Blair was the federal Public Safety minister at the time of the massacres and was instrumental in set­ting up the Mass Casualty Commission and its wonky mandate.

 

Next comes the comment from the Brink’s-linked source about the New Brunswick RCMP authorizing the release of the monies.

 

One of the source documents we could not find in Wortman’s financial records re­leased by the Mass Casualty Commission was the release he was filmed signing be­fore being handed the $475,000.

 

In statements released by the MCC, Brink’s manager Marcel Briand does not address the issue of who authorized the transaction. He was not called as a live witness.

 

The link to the RCMP in New Brunswick is an important one and entirely unex­plored by the MCC.

Police sources both within and outside the RCMP point to two long-term relation­ships with police officers that they found suspicious. 

 

One was with Halifax Constable Barry Warnell, the longest serving police officer on the force. Until around 2007, Warnell was considered to be an undercover spe­cialist who dabbled in real estate on the side. In a statement to the MCC, he said his relationship with Wortman was based on their mutual business interests. The MCC did not dig into the details.

 

RCMP Constable Greg Wiley also stated that he visited Wortman 16 times at his Portapique cottage between the years 2008 and 2017. Wiley had no notes of the visits and did not appear to file reports on the visits, which police sources say was odd. Wiley did, however, vaguely state that Wortman was passing on information about criminal activities in the area. 

 

“I knew the value of having a few people in the community that you go to, and ironi­cally, this is the irony of it, I was going to a guy, him of all guys and asking, um, ‘Is there anything that we sh-should know about or anyone — anyone that should be on our radar?’ And isn’t it ironic how things have turned out?” said Wiley.

 

To a policeman’s ear that sounds like Wortman was a budding informant.

 

“It’s very suspicious,” said a former se­nior Mountie.

 

“There are repeated visits and no re­cords of what happened. That’s not the way it should go if everything is on the up-and-up.”

 

In 2017, Wiley stopped seeing Wortman. The date is interesting.

 

That year, New Brunswick RCMP boss, Assistant Commissioner Larry Trem­blay, moved to take over all anti-outlaw biker operations in the Maritimes.

 

The question then becomes: Was it merely a co-incidence that Const. Wiley stopped dropping in on Wortman in 2017 or was there something deeper going on?

 

If Wortman was indeed an agent, he would have been working for not only the New Brunswick RCMP but possibly other law enforcement agencies, including Hali­fax police and the Canadian Border Se­curity Agency, multiple sources specu­late.

 

If his cover was blown, as some police sources believe it was, then Wortman was a man either on the run or headed into wit­ness protection.

 

The opinion by Dwayne King dismiss­ing Wortman’s involvement in criminal activities dovetails perfectly with the posi­tion taken by the MCC. It has shown no interest in the past almost six months of hearings delving into Wortman’s criminal past or possible connections to the RCMP or other police forces.

 

Finally, there is the source who is familiar with both CIBC and CIBC Intria operations.

 

In its document dump, the MCC did not release any supporting documents from Intria showing either the authorization for the release of the monies and other direc­tions that it might have received.

 

“I don’t care what the Commission is saying,” said the CIBC-Intria source, “The story doesn’t work for me. Banks are fas­tidious about the rules. This transaction flew under the radar of FinTrac (Finan­cial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada). Why would the bank do this for Gabriel Wortman and no one else? It doesn’t make sense. If Wortman could do it and get around FinTrac, every criminal would be doing this.”

 

A tricky story like this one is the inevi­table result of the approach taken by the MCC in its proscribed, blinkered, cautious and politically correct mandate. 

 

It conducts its proceedings in a “trauma-informed” fashion which means it doesn’t want to upset anyone – except for those, including Mounties, who refuse to toe the line and stick to the preferred narrative. 

 

They can be savaged.

 

It’s not trying to find fault or assign blame, and then skips over inconvenient details and refuses to pin the tail on the donkey.

 

It bombs us with thousands of pages of predigested “interviews” and “statements” but lawyers are restricted from conducting proper cross examinations.

 

What we’re left with is the RCMP’s proven ineptitude, deceptions and lies, all wrapped in a stifling blanket of secrecy, which naturally fuels suspicion and skepti­cism.

The Mass Casualty Commission’s go-to response is that there is only one truth —their truth — and a fact is not a fact in its view unless it comes from the three Com­missioners, the federal government and its bevy of lawyers, the RCMP or approved and vetted witnesses.

 

It has weaponized the concept of con­spiracy theorism.

 

The Commissioner agreed with Lisa Banfield’s pricy lawyer, James Lockyer, that her being cross examined by anyone but Commission legal counsel would lead to a feeding frenzy of conspiracy theories. Imagine that. Banfield spent 19 years with an eventually murderous criminal but she’s too fragile to be challenged about what she did and didn’t know about him and his activities. That’s a novel definition of transparency, if ever there was one.

 

Those very same lawyers for the fami­lies were told that they can’t roam outside the established boundaries of the Mass Casualty Commission’s “foundational doc­uments” because that, too, would invite conspiracy theories. No questions about touchy things like Wortman’s criminal his­tory or questionable reports by the Seri­ous Incident Response Team, the police lap, er, watchdog.

 

In spite of all their efforts and vigilance to control the narrative, a lingering and pervasive odor continues to rise from the Mass Casualty Commission. 

 

There is a legal term whose meaning could be adapted to describe what has been going on.

Res Ipsa Loquitor — the thing speaks for itself.
