Independent panel 'a slap in the face,' says daughter of N.S. shooting victim

Families of Nova Scotia victims asked for public inquiry, but review announced instead

Some family members of the 22 victims of the Nova Scotia mass shooting say they're deeply disappointed by the announcement Thursday of an independent review into the tragedy.

Relatives have been calling for a public inquiry, but today the provincial and federal governments stopped short of that, instead announcing there will be an independent three-person panel led by the province's former top judge.

"I'm not really happy. I really feel that a full inquiry is necessary," said Charlene Bagley, who lost her father, Tom Bagley, in the shooting.

"We all deserve the truth and full transparency and I don't feel like we're going to get that."

The review means it is up to the panel to decide whether any hearings will be held in public. All documents and information collected as part of the review will also be kept confidential.

Bagley said she can't speak for the other families, but she said she wouldn't mind those aspects being made public if it means she gets the answers she's seeking.

"I don't want all the details [of] what happened to my father to be known," she said. "But … if it helps move forward and that we can learn from this, then I would be OK with it."

The panel's report, which is due next year and will be made public, will consider the causes, context and circumstances that led to the incident — including gender-based and intimate-partner violence and the gunman's access to firearms — as well as the police response and communications.

It will also address the steps taken to inform, support and engage victims, families and other people affected by the tragedy.

The panel will be chaired by former chief justice of Nova Scotia Michael MacDonald.

The other panel members are former deputy prime minister Anne McLellan, who is currently a senior adviser with the law firm Bennett Jones LLP, and Leanne Fitch, a former chief of the Fredericton Police Force.

All three panel members are from the Maritimes.

22 people killed

On April 18 and 19, a lone gunman went on a 13-hour shooting rampage that began in the small community of Portapique and ended at a gas station in Enfield, 150 kilometres away. Twenty-two people were killed, and the gunman was shot dead by police.

On Wednesday, about 280 people marched to the RCMP detachment in Bible Hill, N.S., to call for an inquiry to be held, after months of waiting for answers.

Nick Beaton, whose wife, Kristen Beaton, was killed in the shooting along with their unborn child, said he's upset with the decision to go with a review instead of an inquiry.

"They say they're worried about our thoughts and feelings. This upsets us more than anything."

Beaton said he and the other families are "not done fighting" until they get the answers they've asked for.

Darcy Dobson, the daughter of victim Heather O'Brien, agreed.

"We're disappointed. It's a slap in the face, for sure," she said.

"Today, [Justice Minister] Mark Furey said in his release that he didn't want to hurt the families anymore, and what you're doing is hurting us by not giving us what we asked for."

In a news conference Thursday, Furey said the panel members were chosen because of their experience in fact-finding and independence, in-depth knowledge of public safety, policing and gender-based and intimate-partner violence, as well as their understanding of shared federal-provincial relations and responsibilities.

Furey has said on a number of occasions that while the province was committed to a review, it would not lead it.

On Thursday, he said they reviewed all options, including a public inquiry, but this process provided the "most timely opportunity" for the earliest responses and setting up a panel.

"We heard loud and clear that people wanted early changes," Furey said, noting that it can take years to set up an inquiry and that a review wouldn't take as long. 

• Families of N.S. mass killing victims push for public inquiry

• Details on mass shooting inquiry to be released next week, N.S. justice minister says

In response to this explanation, Dobson said: "We never asked for quick. We asked for the truth."

The review process also does not include some of the powers granted in a public inquiry, such as information provided under oath and the ability to subpoena.

Federal Public Safety Minister Bill Blair said both levels of government are "absolutely committed" to this review and its recommendations.

"This is the right approach and we believe we have the right people to do the work and they have the necessary authorities to get Nova Scotians the answers they deserve," Blair said.

Families briefed

Furey said he spoke to the families earlier this week and that he wanted to personally tell them about the review panel ahead of time.

"We must commit to caring for and thinking of them first," he said.

He said he heard from them and is aware that a public inquiry is the mechanism "that they would prefer." But, he said, after looking at all of the factors, the approach of the review and the strength of the panel gives them the authority to get families the answers they need.

Bagley, who lost her father, said the families were given the opportunity to ask questions about this during their briefing, but she said when she submitted her written question, it was reworded and not properly answered.

"I feel like if they can't be transparent even there, how am I to trust that they're going to be transparent when it comes to the real thing?" she said.

Beaton also said he wasn't satisfied with the meeting with Furey.

"Any question that we asked him, he said, 'I can't speak on behalf of the panel,'" Beaton said.

Furey and Blair said all agencies and organizations under their jurisdiction will participate fully in the review, including the RCMP, the Canada Firearms Program, Canada Border Services Agency, the Criminal Intelligence Service and the national Alert Ready Program.

The RCMP released a statement on Thursday afternoon saying it supports the independent review and "will co-operate fully," ensuring the panel has all "available information required."

The panel can also notify the ministers, as well as the public, if an institution or individual fails to co-operate within a reasonable time or claims they cannot due to things like solicitor-client privilege or concerns an ongoing police investigation could be compromised.

"We've empowered the panel to speak publicly at any time, whether it's over the course of their work, in accessing information or anyone interfering in the independence of that panel," Furey said.

Final report in August

The panel, however, has no power to challenge claims of privilege, and can only make note of them.

The panel will provide an interim report to the ministers by Feb. 28, 2021. The final report will be delivered by Aug. 31, 2021. The ministers will receive the reports first and then make them public.

Furey said the panel members are prepared to start work right away, but there are a few administrative matters to get through first, such as finding office space.

The cost of the review will be shared equally between the two levels of government, but there is no set budget yet.

Reaction from opposition parties

Nova Scotia's opposition parties are also calling for an inquiry instead of a review.

In a written statement, Tim Houston, leader of the Progressive Conservatives, described the review as "a complete and utter abdication of responsibility" and "cover your ass politics."

"Premier Stephen McNeil promised Nova Scotians that by waiting for months, the chosen mechanism would ensure change across the country. We now know that wasn't true," the statement said.

"Nova Scotians should be angry, not only because they have been cheated out of an inquiry that is essential to getting answers, but because their Premier and Prime Minister are attempting to fool them into thinking this direction is in their best interest. We need to know who will be held accountable for this short-sighted decision."

Also in a statement, NDP leader Gary Burrill said the decision to forgo an inquiry in favour of the review was "hurtful and disappointing."

"Across Nova Scotia, many organizations and experts, the public in general, and most significantly, the families, have properly called for a public inquiry into the worst mass shooting in our country's history," Burrill's statement said. "The government is mistaken in deciding to do something less."

Pushback from families, MPs led to reversal on N.S. mass shooting inquiry, Blair says

Public safety minister says he regrets the 'anxiety' caused by delaying commitment to public inquiry

Public Safety Minister Bill Blair says it was persistent calls from victims' families for a public inquiry into April's mass shooting in Nova Scotia — and pressure from members of the province's federal Liberal caucus — that led him to abandon a plan for a less robust review of the tragedy.

"This was entirely about the families and their advocacy. We listened to them and that's why we've made the decision to hold an inquiry," Blair told CBC Radio's The House in an interview airing Saturday.

The minister announced Tuesday that the shooting would be the subject of a public inquiry days after Ottawa and the Nova Scotia government agreed to a joint independent review of the incident.

The news followed widespread criticism from families of the victims and a number of parliamentarians who had called for a deeper probe into the 13-hour rampage that left 22 people dead more than three months ago.

Central Nova MP Sean Fraser wrote in a Facebook post Tuesday that he was "deeply upset" by the decision to pursue a review instead of an inquiry, a sentiment echoed by other Liberal MPs across the province.

In response, Nova Scotia Justice Minister Mark Furey said those MPs should take their calls to "the federal minister and their federal colleagues," adding that the provincial government would support the move.

"I think my colleagues in the Nova Scotia Liberal caucus did their job and advocated very strongly on behalf of their constituents." Blair told The House guest host Rosemary Barton. "[That] was important because the voice of the victims was amplified through them, and certainly I listened very carefully to them and their advocacy did have an impact on the decision that we made."

Frank

Among his many, many other faults, it would appear that we can also lay the RCMP’s eventual decision to stop taking any questions related to Gabriel Wortman’s murderous rampages in April of 2020 at the feet of bestselling author/occasional Frank scribe Paul Palango.

https://nsadvocate.org/2017/10/11/frank-magazines-weasel-worded-apology/ 

Frank Magazine’s weasel-worded apology

KJIPUKTUK (Halifax) – In a whole new spin on the corporate standby apology to “anybody we may have offended,” Frank Magazine apologizes to its readers for a racist cartoon it published “because racists may have liked it.”

The cartoon shows poet and activist El Jones with a jutting chin and sloped forehead, reminiscent of racist cartoons beloved by white supremacists that show Barack Obama as a gorilla, or Nazi Germany’s Der Stürmer cartoons that showed Jewish people with big noses and bags of money.

“We’d hate to think we’re going to attract the wrong elements by them believing we are racist,” managing editor Andrew Douglas tells Michael Tutton of the Canadian Press.

That’s not an apology, that’s just a bunch of weasel words inspired by the realization that if enough people complain it may cost Frank Magazine its cherished spot at Sobeys, Lawtons and Superstore checkouts.

Frank now says it will modify the cartoon. It has a long history of similarly hateful posts that can’t be modified though.

A petition written by Erin Wunker calls for the immediate removal of the magazine from stores and responds to Frank’s argument that it is merely engaging in satire.

“We know what satire means. It is an effort to critique ideas or public figures on substantive grounds, not banal racist depictions,” the petition states.

Peter McIsaac, chief of the Cape Breton Regional Police Service (CBRPS), revealed this week that he is leaving his post after a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

McIsaac , who has been on medical leave since July 2019, told the CBC’s Tom Ayers that he’s come to understand he’s suffered from PTSD for 25 years — meaning for most of his 35-year policing career and the entirety of his 10-year tenure as chief.

On a personal level, this must have been a terrible condition to have lived with all these years and a painful diagnosis to hear. And indeed, McIsaac spoke to Ayers about how PTSD affects the sufferer, physically and mentally, and the toll it takes on their families and friends.

Peter McIsaac (CBC Photo by Tom Ayers)

I wish McIsaac a full recovery and a happy retirement, but my interest in the chief of police is not personal. My interest is in the implications of this diagnosis for the CBRPS. The questions that occur to me include, how can an officer spend 25 years suffering symptoms of PTSD without anyone on the force noticing? What toll does undiagnosed and untreated PTSD take on the sufferer’s coworkers or — particularly in the case of a chief — subordinates? And how can the CBRPS ensure the person it puts in the police chief’s chair will not eventually say, as McIsaac did this week, that it was “the worst place that [he] could be?”

 

Crime rates

Ayers’ encounter with McIsaac served as something of an exit interview, a chance for the outgoing chief to reflect on his career in that time-honored tradition of departing municipal officials — in addition to the web article, the “wide-ranging” interview was aired in four parts on CBC Information Morning Cape Breton and CBC Mainstreet Cape Breton — and I am mostly going to let it be (McIsaac is very proud of all CBRM’s new and renovated police stations, did not mention the John Be Gone sting) but there are a few subjects I feel compelled to address.

Ayers noted that Grant Thornton’s CBRM Viability Study, submitted to the municipality not long after McIsaac departed on sick leave, recommended an efficiency study of the Cape Breton Regional Police Service which, with about 200 officers, has a higher “cop-to-pop” ratio than any similar-sized Canadian jurisdiction (not to mention many larger-sized Canadian jurisdictions.)

CBRPS Central Division

That “efficiency” study, initially due in November, is now expected sometime in March (were this a work of fiction, that would read like a very ham-fisted attempt at foreshadowing). CBRM CAO Marie Walsh (who is related by marriage to Robert Walsh, the acting police chief overseeing the study) got out in front of any suggestion the review would result in a reduction in the size of the force, arguing the CBRM’s large force is why it has a low crime rate, an assessment with which McIsaac agrees.

In reality, researchers have struggled for years to understand why crime has been declining — not just in the CBRM but literally everywhere in the Western world — for the past quarter century. Theories range from ageing populations to declining alcohol consumption to getting the lead out of gasoline but no one has been able to answer the question definitively (I mean, outside of our municipal officials.)

One very interesting essay I read recently, by Michael Tonry (McKnight Presidential Professor in Criminal Law and Policy at the University of Minnesota Law School), suggests the question we should be asking ourselves is not why crime has been declining since the ’90s but why crime spiked between the ’60s and ’90s. Tonry presents a very convincing case that this increase was an anomaly, interrupting what had otherwise been a centuries-long downward trend in crime — a trend that has since resumed. He explores a number of possible theories, but concludes only that, “As was true in Europe beginning in the late Middle Ages, crime rates move to deep and broad social forces, and move in parallel, even if sometimes with lags.”

CBRPS East Division (New HQ Glace Bay)

Tonry (whose paper was published in 2014) shows that crime trends “move in parallel” even when responses to them do not, a concept he illustrates by comparing Canada and the United States:

Canadian crime rate patterns have closely paralleled America’s since 1960, but Canada’s imprisonment patterns and criminal justice policies have been starkly different (Webster and Doob 2007). Since 1960, the Canadian imprisonment rate has fluctuated around 100 per 100,000 population, while America’s rose from 150 per100,000 in 1970 to 756 in 2007. Canadian agencies have not emphasized zero-tolerance and other aggressive forms of policing, and the Canadian Parliament did not enact three-strikes, truth-in-sentencing, and life-without-possibility-of-parole laws. Only in the last couple of years have significant mandatory minimum sentence laws been enacted; they do not, however, require sentences measured in decades and life-times and are meeting strong resistance from the appellate courts (R.v. Smickle, 2013 Ontario Court of Appeals 677 [CanLII];R. v. Nur,2013 Ontario Court of Appeals 678 [CanLII]; Doob and Webster2013).

Yet crime rates moved in tandem.

 

But this is nuanced, thoughtful, research-based thinking, which our local officials apparently don’t have time for, so they get all post hoc, ergo propter hoc about it: The CBRM has a large police force. The CBRM has a low crime rate. Ergo, the CBRM’s low crime rate must be due to its large police force.

 

MIA

“CBRM officials” have another argument in favor of a large force: “the police service needs that many officers to cover the large regional municipality, to backfill up to 40 officers who are off sick at any given time.” As McIsaac tells Ayers:

“Go and ask the union membership right now, do they think they have enough members, because they are working shorthanded just about every day. People are getting burned out. It’s probably some of the reasons why some of them are not working.

“And the only reason our number is what it is, is because 30-plus are there because of outside resources or money allocated from somewhere else.”

CBRPS North Division HQ, Sydney Mines (renovated Post Office)

 

So, two things.

First, isn’t arguing you need an over-sized police force to deal with your high rates of absenteeism like saying you need 100 buckets to deal with all the leaks in your roof? Shouldn’t the force be coming to grips with why 40 officers may be out on any given day rather than simply making sure they have enough staff to cover for them?

Perhaps the police review will deal with this.

Second, that argument about outside funding has also been trotted out — most recently by Acting Chief Walsh in September 2019— to prove that CBRM doesn’t really have a high cop-to-pop ratio because it only “fully” funds 167 officers:

The others are funded at least in part by outside agencies, such as the provincial departments of education and justice and the Membertou First Nation.

That makes the ratio about 180 per 100,000.

“I don’t think that we are overpoliced,” the acting chief said.

I have to sub-divide this into two further things.

First, whether the CBRM fully pays for them or not, there are 200 officers policing our municipality.

And second, the amount at least one of these “outside agencies” (the Department of Justice) is paying to fund these extra cops has been controversial since at least 2013, when a Task Force formed by then-Mayor Cecil Clarke to “make recommendations regarding the organization and operations of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality” reported that:

Programs such as “Boots on the Street” which are externally funded have substantially augmented policing services in the CBRM. However, the officers sourced through this program have been integrated into the regular policing regimen. Because the province has frozen support for the program at 2008 levels, the operating budget of the CBRM has to support more than $300,000 in costs for these officers (salaries and associated benefit costs). The cost would not have been budgeted for which means additional areas had to be cut to support these previously externally funded positions. The CBRM does not have the financial resources to continue to pay for these ”Boots on the Streets” officers if external monies are not adjusted to current levels.

But the CBRM has continued to find the financial resources to pay for these officers, even as the gap between what the province sends us and what they cost us has continued to widen.

But again, maybe the police review will address these concerns.

 

Social work

McIsaac surprised me by not only grasping entirely what “defund the police” means but by supporting it.

He noted that police are called in to do many things that would once not have been considered their jobs, from entering schools to deal with students to handling individuals on probation.

I give McIsaac full credit here because this is familiar territory for him. He told the CBRM Police Commission in February 2019:

You heard me say this before but the police have gone from the agency of last resort to the social agency of first choice, expected to be responders to just about anything and everything that happens in our communities.

In speaking with Ayers, he said:

You want to defund the police? Good. Take the money away from the police, give it to the people that are supposed to be doing it. Let us go and do some other things.

That, in my opinion, is an excellent note for a chief to go out on.

Mary Campbell

Mary Campbell possesses that quick, cutting sense of humour that seems particular to the place that was once called Industrial Cape Breton. Most importantly, she can tell a story against herself. However, Mary also happens to be a serious, seasoned (not old!) journalist who has worked in Halifax, Prince Edward Island, Montreal, Toronto and the Czech Republic’s capital city of Prague. She was in Prague for several years.

In her story, she recalls in detail flipping her car into a snowbank in rural P.E.I. and then taking a photo of it for the newspaper she worked at, fainting while covering a surgical procedure in Montreal and being caught by the anesthesiologist, and getting hired as an English teacher by a Zimbabwean man in Prague because she was wearing a Cape Breton T-shirt.

Eventually, Mary returned home and in 2016 founded the online newspaper called the Cape Breton Spectator. On the publication’s site, she writes, “My needs are not great—my only extravagances are quality paper and cat antibiotics—so it won’t take too many subscribers to keep this enterprise afloat. Anything I earn beyond the bare necessities will pay freelance writers and photographers: I’m fond of the sound of my own voice, but not that fond.”

Mary also happens to be one of the “Highlander Campbells.” Her parents John and Dolores, several uncles and aunts, and a number of “non-Campbells” published the radical Cape Breton Highlander newspaper in Sydney from 1963 to 1976. Its prospectus stated, “There will be no hesitation to become involved in controversy if the outcome holds promise of constructive achievement for Cape Breton.” Mary, who was born in 1964, recalls growing up in that environment and the influence it had on her later life and work. That could well be the prospectus for the Spectator.

In her story, Mary mentions Tim Bousquet, publisher of the online Halifax Examiner newspaper, which like the Spectator is independent, adversarial, subscription-based and advertising-free. The two publications now offer a joint subscription. Bousquet writes, “Campbell is everything a journalist should be: inquisitive, dogged, and unafraid. Even better, she’s wickedly funny.” That describes Mary Campbell—and the Cape Breton Spectator—to a T.

This is only a short introduction to Mary’s much longer story.

'The price of gas and everything is staggering': CBRM hikes taxi rates

Council votes unanimously to raise cab fare prices for the first time in 14 years

Greg MacVicar· CBC News · Posted: Mar 26, 2022 6:00 AM AT

Nova Scotians took to the streets Monday to push for a public inquiry into Canada’s deadliest mass shooting as new court documents revealed further allegations about the gunman, including that he was a sexual predator who smuggled guns and sold drugs.

Anger is growing in Nova Scotia over the federal and provincial governments’ decision to hold a panel review rather than a public inquiry into the April attacks that left 22 people dead. The three-member panel has no power to compel witnesses and no requirement to conducts its business in public.

Hundreds rallied in Halifax and outside the Bridgewater, N.S., constituency office of provincial Justice Minister Mark Furey, who announced the review last week along with federal Public Safety Minister Bill Blair, contending it would be faster and less traumatizing for the victims’ families than an inquiry.

Protesters say a review won’t adequately address police missteps that may have contributed to toll of the mass shooting. They’re calling for a full inquiry that could hold public hearings, force witnesses to testify and produce binding recommendations to prevent similar tragedies.

They want to know what could have been done to prevent the massacre committed during a 13-hour rampage by Gabriel Wortman, who is described in newly released witness statements given to police as an alleged “sexual predator” who “burns bodies,” smuggled guns from Maine, sold painkillers OxyContin and Dilaudid, and had a secret room and false walls at his Dartmouth denture clinic, where police were told he hid weapons.

These witnesses, interviewed by police after the April killings, are not identified. They include neighbours, family members and employees, including one who said the gunman described how to dissolve bodies and kept chemicals for this purpose under his deck. This same person called him a sexual predator, but for reasons not revealed in the documents.

The records, part of previously redacted information used by the police to obtain search warrants connected to the continuing RCMP investigation, were ordered unsealed by a judge on Monday, as part of a legal challenge by a group of media outlets including The Globe and Mail.

The demonstrators calling for an inquiry are backed by prominent women’s groups, legal experts, dozens of senators and thousands of Nova Scotians slamming the review process – which is scheduled to produce a final report by next August – as secretive and ineffective.

“I don’t plan on stopping,” said Harry Bond, whose parents Peter and Joy Bond were killed in the mass shooting. He drove to the Bridgewater rally, and he says he will continue attending such events until a public inquiry is announced.

“It’s not something we want to do, but with them wanting to do a review instead of a public inquiry, it’s something we’re forced to do.”

Cathy Mansley, a former RCMP officer who lives in Port Hawkesbury, N.S., said she doesn’t think the demonstrations will end until the governments reverse their decision.

“People are angry, people are furious. They’ve lost their trust in the RCMP because of this,” said Ms. Manley, who was a claimant in a class-action suit over discrimination and sexual abuse in the RCMP that was settled in 2016.

“This is hurting the police even more, and it’s hiding the mistakes of management. It puts our first responders at even more risk if they don’t have an inquiry. They’re not the ones who deserve to take the brunt of this.”

More rallies are planned this week, including a march on the Nova Scotia Legislature Wednesday morning organized by families of victims who’ve launched a class-action lawsuit against the RCMP.

The demonstrators are angry there were no criminal charges against the gunman in the years leading up to his attack, despite multiple domestic violence and weapons complaints. His rampage started on April 18 in Portapique, N.S., with an assault on his common-law wife.

Protest organizers say there is clear precedence for a public inquiry – pointing to cases such as the Westray Mine disaster in Plymouth N.S., in 1992, when an inquiry was ordered just a week after 26 coal miners were killed in an explosion. That process led to new legislation that holds managers and directors of corporations criminally liable if they fail to take steps to protect the lives of their employees.

Ms. Mansley, who spent 24 years as an officer and had her own experiences with sexual assault, said the RCMP need a culture change when it comes to investigating domestic violence.

“There’s an attitude in the RCMP when it comes to these kind of calls, and I’ve seen it more than once. I’ve seen managers cover it up,” she said. “It just traumatizes victims further. These police officers are still out there with their same ideas on domestic violence.”

Critics complain the review of April’s mass killing lacks the teeth to properly examine the role domestic violence, and how it’s policed, played in the attack. If an RCMP officer involved in the case retires, for example, they would no longer be required to co-operate with the review.

Opposition politicians are calling for an emergency sitting of the provincial legislature to allow for a bill to be tabled forcing a public inquiry.

“There was only one thing these families asked for: an inquiry. Given the unthinkable tragedy they have been through, it wasn’t a lot to ask,” said Tim Houston, leader of Nova Scotia’s Progressive Conservative party.

“The Premier took the easy way out. He has denied justice and denied the opportunity to make positive change for our entire province and country.”

Claudia Chender, an NDP MLA for Dartmouth South who was at the Halifax rally, said an inquiry is the only way to ensure transparency and accountability for a province demanding answers.

“We need a public inquiry in which panelists are commissioners and can find the information they need to get to the truth and, most importantly, to get to justice,” she said.

Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil has defended the review process and says its panelists – former chief justice of Nova Scotia Michael MacDonald; former federal attorney-general Anne McLellan; and Leanne Fitch, the former chief of the Fredericton Police Force – can ask his government for more powers if they need them.

Editor’s note: (July 28, 2020): An earlier version of this story said the shooting was worst mass killing in Canadian history.

Truro police chief calls RCMP lockdown request 'a last-minute Hail Mary'

On April 18-19, 2020, the Mounties had limited contact with the nearest municipal police force

During the 2020 mass shooting in Nova Scotia the RCMP had little contact with the closest municipal police force in Truro, prompting lingering questions from residents and people who lost loved ones about why more wasn't done to ask for help and set up roadblocks around the town.

Patterson Law represents the families of the shooting victims of April 18-19, 2020, as well as others who have suffered losses as a result of the shooting spree in two class action lawsuits. Patterson Law will also represent all but three of the families in the upcoming Public Inquiry into the shooting spree.

To assist our ongoing efforts, Patterson Law has retained the prominent criminal investigation firm Martin & Associates Investigations to provide expertise in the subject matter of police command procedure, crime scene analysis, police investigation procedures and any associated issues.  Patterson Law welcomes Tom Martin, with 30 years of experience in criminal investigation as a former member of the Halifax Regional Police and 9 years conducting investigations in the private sector.  We look forward to having Martin & Associates as part of our team.

In order to establish and provide evidence which supports this action, it is crucial to have a truly independent body thoroughly review and further investigate various components of the investigation that was conducted by the RCMP.  The Martin & Associates investigative team has the knowledge and experience not only in homicide investigations, but also in the proper methods used when conducting major and sensitive cases of this complexity and magnitude.

I (Rob Pineo) have a working history with Martin & Associates and Patterson Law has every confidence in their abilities, independence, and professionalism. The sole purpose of this Investigative Review is to uncover the truth; truth for the families and truth for the general public. To this end, all steps will be taken to identify the whole truth of what occurred on April 18th and 19th of this year.

In our attempts to solicit information and any evidence that may be in the public sphere, Martin & Associates has established a Facebook Tip Page which is titled “NS Mass Shooting Tip Page.”

We ask that any member of the public that has any information, documentation, photos, or video footage please contact Martin & Associates directly on theirFacebook Tip Page, by email at tips@martininvestigations.ca, or by phone at 902-259-3090.

drug squad, he got a tip that a provincial government employee was dealing drugs out of his office. He and another cop went to the man’s office, arrested and searched him. They found hash, scales, cash and a list of debts. Later, the man even signed a confession. But the judge threw out the charges, saying the word of an informant alone wasn’t enough for the cops to believe the man was carrying the drugs, which made the search “a flagrant abuse of the accused’s charter rights.” Case dismissed. Perhaps surprisingly, Martin doesn’t blame too-liberal judges for making his job more difficult. “I hear complaints about the judges,” he allows, “but the judges aren’t the problem. The problem is trying to take cases into court that are not a good package. My job as an investigator is to get to a threshold that’s beyond ‘reasonable doubt.’ When I’m working a case, I have to set the standard higher—beyond any doubt. I have to make damn sure I have all the proof in the world because the last thing I want to do is send somebody to jail who didn’t do it.” But that, of course, doesn’t make knowing who did do it and still not being able to put them away any easier to take. Martin says he tries not to distinguish among murder victims, even though it’s clear many were killed as a result of their own “risky behaviour. Murder,” he says simply, “is never excusable. Even if you’re taking a risk, you’re no less a victim.” Still, it’s hard not to become more obsessed with cases involving those Martin refers to as “pure victims,” people who were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. People like Kimberly McAndrew, a 19-year-old cashier at the Canadian Tire store on Quinpool Road, who left work early at 4:20 on the afternoon of August 12, 1989, went into a parking lot crowded with Saturday shoppers—and vanished. Even though he was on the drug squad at the time McAndrew disappeared, Martin has since made the case his own. He’s followed every lead; personally re-interviewed dozens of those who gave statements early on to see if they remembered something else; talked with the retired cops who worked the case in the beginning; met with psychics; followed dead-end rumours that Kimberly had been forced into prostitution in Toronto or even—as recently as two years ago—a rumour that she was alive and well and living in upstate New York; interrogated a Halifax man serving time in a British Columbia prison as a dangerous sexual offender; questioned other inmates who claimed to know where her body was buried; scoured Sir Sandford Flemming Park for three days on one tip; even, pursuing another lead, donned a hard hat and rubber boots and climbed six metres down a dirty wet well shaft in Point Pleasant Park so he could scoop up some tiny bone fragments that turned out not be McAndrew’s. Martin believes he knows what happened to McAndrew. “Call it an educated theory, based on her victimology, geography, the timing, the activities of a particular person. But…” He stops, considers. “You want to solve it for the families. I’ve always tried to be involved with the families of the victims. It’s hardest for them, dealing with the void. You want to give them peace, some closure even if it’s only learning what happened…. It’s hardest for me when the families are nice to you, when they’re appreciative of what you’re trying to do, thankful for keeping them informed. Like the McAndrews. And the MacCulloughs.” Jason MacCullough, a 19-year-old community volunteer who shovelled snow for the elderly, is another of Martin’s pure victims. Shortly after one o’clock on the morning of August 28, 1999—now seven years ago this week—MacCullough was walking along a secluded path through Dartmouth’s Pine Hill Park on his way home after visiting friends in nearby Highfield Park when he was shot in the back of the head from close range. The park—like the Canadian Tire parking lot on the afternoon Kimberly disappeared—was full of people. But, like McAndrew again, nobody saw anything or, if they did, they won’t tell the police what they saw, or, even if they do talk to the police, they won’t testify in court. Martin has conducted more than 100 interviews, made thousands of phone calls, visited the crime scene more times than he can count, and filled more than 20 file boxes in the still-unfinished process of bring Jason’s killer to justice. He describes the MacCullough case as the most frustrating of his career. Although police quickly zeroed in on a core group of suspects—who may have been in the middle of a drug deal Jason accidentally witnessed—none of the people in the park that night would say what they saw. At one point, the police even released detailed composite sketches of each of the five individuals they believed had been present at the time of the shooting in hopes someone could come forward and connect them to what happened to Jason. It didn’t work. To complicate matters—“the worst part,” Martin says—someone who wasn’t even involved in the murder started “‘chumping,’ bragging to his friends that he’d killed Jason, trying to prove, ‘I’m a real bad guy….’” Martin shakes his head. “So not only do I have to prove who did it, I have to prove who fucking didn’t do it.” He eventually did do that, but Martin says eliminating the wrong guy wasted valuable time that should have been spent putting Jason’s real killers behind bars. And time, Martin knows today, is no longer on his side. June 23, 2006. The feeling this time was “just as oh-my-Jesus painful,” but somehow not the same either. “Guys,” Tom Martin tried to reassure his concerned wife and son Ben, “it’s not a heart attack.” And it wasn’t. But that didn’t make it—or him—any better. Two months ago, Martin was rushed to the hospital by ambulance again where doctors discovered a clot the size of a baseball inside his left lung, probably the end result of some complications he’d had the week before with an angiogram. Now he’s back home, “on strong meds” and waiting for the clot to dissolve so the doctors can get back to treating his heart problems again, probably sometime in September, and, oh, yes, eventually operate on his still-broken leg. “It’s at the bottom of the list,” he says, looking down at the brace he wears to protect it. He laughs. It’s a short, resigned laugh. “I was never sick before. And now… I know all the docs and nurses by their first names. I’ve learned so goddamned much about this medical stuff. I don’t want to learn any more.” He doesn’t have a choice, of course. Just as it’s no longer in his power to determine when—or if—he’ll be able to work again. After using up his leftover overtime and vacation time, the clock on his long-term disability insurance began ticking earlier this year. Essentially, he has two years to get back to work, or the insurance company changes his long-term designation to permanent. “Maybe teaching,” he suggests without much enthusiasm. Martin is a popular, in-demand instructor at law enforcement professional development workshops and courses, and it might be a less stressful way to continue to be a cop. He’s also already had job offers from private security companies who’d love to have his name and reputation on their letterhead. But he’d have to get better first, and besides, there’s no job he’d rather have than the one he had before. This summer, he has had to follow the rash of murder and mayhem in Spryfield on TV. “In the past when the big cases would happen, I’d never see them on TV until days later, if at all. I was the one being called out. I was working them.” And now? “My wife is the one getting called out in the middle of the night, and I’m the one sitting at home, worrying…. The first few times, it was weird, but then you get used to it. Miss it? Yeah, I do, I miss it. But I miss the ones I was working on even more.” This week’s upcoming anniversary of the MacCullough case will be especially difficult. “Last year I was too sick to notice.” Jason’s father has called to see how he’s feeling and wish him well in his recovery. “We never talked about Jason, which was weird too,” Martin says now. “I’ve had hundreds and hundreds of calls with Allan and Carolyn and we always talked about Jason.” Jason’s case still troubles him, both because “Jason could have been anybody’s son,” and also because of what the case says about us and how Halifax has changed since he was a young cop. “Even in the ’80s, the armed robbery of a bank or someplace like that was high profile. It would completely empty out the office. Now armed robberies are like break-and-enters used to be. Murders have become so frequent—not commonplace but almost—that citizens will hear about one and say, ‘Oh, another murder in Halifax last night.’” Would Jason’s murder have been solved if it had happened in that earlier era? Martin considers. “We would have had more community involvement,” he says, pausing again, considering some more. “I’d lean toward saying we would have the case before the courts if it had happened back then…but you can never go back.” In Jason’s case, where “the only thing missing is for someone to come forward, for someone to really and truly give a shit,” the real frustration is that “I know who the people are who can tell us what we need. And the people responsible know I know.” Before his heart attack, Martin had made it a point of showing up whenever one of those guys would get arrested for something else. “Just to let them know I ain’t going away,” he says. Despite his own delicate and precarious prognosis, Tom Martin insists he still isn’t going away. “I know this case. I can get this case before the courts. This case is do-able.” Tom Martin isn’t full.

Hey

As Harper sits and bullshits his cohorts in the Council of Foreign
Relations in the Big Apple today I bet he was listening to what was
happening
with Obama and the IRS and Holder and his DOJ minions in Washington.

Hevery body and his dog knows Harper knew about my battles with the US
Treasury and Justice Depts way back when he was the boss of the
opposition in Canada's Parliament. Two simple files easily found on
the Internet cannot be argued.

http://qslspolitics.blogspot.ca/2008/06/5-years-waiting-on-bank-fraud-payout.html

http://www.archive.org/details/FedsUsTreasuryDeptRcmpEtc

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Office of Chief Counsel, Treasury.
Inspector General for Tax Administration, (202) 622-4068.

When Teddy bitches about polticians using the IRS to attack their
enemies because he knows it true because he helped Bush the IRS
against me
when Obama was just a State Senator . The proof was when I sent him
the documents that came along with the letter found on page 13 of this
old
file Teddy Baby Olson quit as Solicitor General.

http://www.checktheevidence.com/pdf/2619437-CROSS-BORDER-txt-.pdf

Harper and every body else knows It was no coincidence that I sent the
lawyers Olson as Solicitior General, Ferguson as the co chair of the
Federal  Reserve Bank, and J Strom Thurmond Jr the youngest US
Attorney the same pile of documents on April Fools Day 2004.

The sad but terrible truth is that legions of cops, lawyers polticians
and bureaucrats in Canada and the USA knew about the US Secret Service
 coming to my home after dark on April Fools Day 2003 bearing false
allegations of a presidential threat and threatening to use their
implied right to use exta ordinary rendition against me as a non
citizen less than two weeks after the needless War in Iraq began and
no WMD were ever found.

You can bet dimes to dollars i called some Yankee Inspector Generals
(starting with 202 622 4068) and reminded them that I am still alive
and kicking and reminding the world of their malicious incompetence

Veritas Vincit
David Raymond Amos
902 800 0369

PS Below you can review some emails I sent you and your Yankee cohorts
such asTeddy Baby Olson before Obama was reelected EH Harper? In truth
I would rather settle in confidence with Obama then sue the Hell out
of the CROWN and the Holy See Trust that the evil old Judge Bastarache
has known why for a very long time.

Just go back six more years in case you forgot EH Harper???

http://qslspolitics.blogspot.ca/2008/06/5-years-waiting-on-bank-fraud-payout.html

Bob Bauer a former blogger for Huffington Post returned to Perkins $
Coie after a period of service to President Barack Obama as his White
House Counsel from December of 2009 until June of 2011.

He is now General Counsel to the President’s re-election committee, to
Obama for America, and General Counsel to the Democratic National
Committee. He has also served as co-counsel to the New Hampshire State
Senate in the trial of Chief Justice David A. Brock (2000); general
counsel to the Bill Bradley for President Committee (1999-2000); and
counsel to the Democratic Leader in the trial of President William
Jefferson Clinton (1999).

He has co-authored numerous bipartisan reports, including "Report of
Counsel to the Senate Rules and Administration Committee in the Matter
of the United States Senate Seat From Louisiana" in the 105th Congress
of the United States (March 27, 1997); "Campaign Finance Reform," A
Report to the Majority Leader and Minority Leader of the United States
Senate (March 6, 1990); and "The Presidential Election Process in the
Philippines" (1986), a bipartisan report prepared at the request of
the Chairman and Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations.

Too bad so sad the lawyer Obama didn't ignore his legal counsel and
check my work for himself long ago. It is clear to me that Bob Bauer
never studied Maritimers and their lawsuits as closely as I studied
his work over the years.

http://www.checktheevidence.com/pdf/2619437-CROSS-BORDER-txt-.pdf

If Obama does not finally simply say my name and expose what he knows
about Romney and I way back before he was even a Governor then he
deserves to lose this election.

However even though I would NOT wish to see another GOP president you
and your Bankster buddies won't mind that a bit but I doubt the NDP
and the Liberals will agree EH Mr Prime Minister?

http://davidamos.blogspot.ca/2006/05/harper-and-bankers.html

Some wise should scroll to the botom of this email and unserstand that
it was Fidelity that knowly sold the Title Insurance on the fruldulent
sale of my family's home in 2005 then Citizens Bank illegally recorded
the discharge of a mortage long after the deal was done and I heve the
records from the Registry of Deeds. Clearly the Royal Bank Of Scotland
and British FSA has ADMITTED knowing all this for wat past too long.

ATTORNEY'S OFFICE SDNYc

Hey

I just called you correct Mr Vogel? (703 647 7985) You do work for a
publicly held Corp and you are supposed to conduct yourself ethically
as a journalist CORRECT? If you don't think that I am the guy who
caused Bernie Madoff to suddenly plead guilty last month and am
justifiably pissed off today then you best read this email and the
following ones real slow.

You did ask me to cut to the chase correct Kenny Baby? My answer was
Cya in Court Correct? Now my question is do you have a lawyer and does
he understand the power of emails as evidence in legal matter? If not
perhap he should ask the lawyer Elias why I am so pissed off after you
forward him this and the following emails EH? (FYI I called Elia
office too 202.434.1609 and read his assistant the riot act while I
was doing so other lawyers were studing me rathe dilently scroll to
the bottom of this email to see the proof)

After breaking the icecap on my name in the media yesterday I am
speaking again today on Dr Bill Deagle's radio show on GCN. My
intention today as I speak again on Dr Bill's show is to try to expose
my knowledge of what Barack Obama and his cohorts knew about my
concerns beginning back in 2004 long BEFORE he was elected Senator and
how he quite likely used the material I sent him byway of his
assistant Peter Coffey to become the keynote Speaker at the Democrat's
convention in July of 2004 that gave rise to his popularity with the
malevolent assistance of Howard Dean and many others. Perhaps you
should tune in to the alternate media for your source of true info.

On a personal level in the strange world of coincidences it was a
Yankee Judge named Coffey who was my neighbor in Milton MA (the town
where George H. W. Bush was born) that became involved in my false
imprisonment in Boston in October of 2004 based on an unsigned illegal
criminal complaint in a court with no jurisdiction to even atempt to
hear such a matter in the first place. More importantly Dennis
Kucinich knew everything a year before that happened when he was
running for the presidentil nonination in 2003 and 2004. Just before
my phone line was cut in Milton MA I called Kucinich office they
acknowledge hhis response to me in 2003 but denied knowing what I sent
his lawyer lady friend at the time. When invited him to come to court
on October 1st, 2004 to help me impeach George W. Bush. Kucinich's
people declined my offer just like my wife's Yankee lawyer Barry
Bachrach who also chickened out. Not long after that call my phone
line was cut and I went to jail without being legally arrested and
held under the charges of "other" in solitary confinement without bail
until the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs paid me a visit. No
kidding I hve the documentation posted in my files within SCRIBD.
Google me sometime before you dare to call me a liar or a nut. Clearly
I studied you dudes.  It was not a cold call today EH?

Ms Olsen

Thank you for keeping me informed.

Yes unseal all my emails with all their attachments immediately and
make certain that the US Attorny's office finally practices full
disclosurement as to who I am and what my concerns are as per the Rule
of Law within a purported democracy.

As you folks all well know I am not a shy man and I have done nothing
wrong. It appears to me that bureacratic people only use the right to
privacy of others when it suits their malicious ends in order to
protect their butts from impreacment,  litigation and prosecution.

The people in the US Attorney's Office and the SEC etc are very well
aware that I protested immediately to everyone I could think of when
the instant I knew that my correspondences went under seal and Madoff
pled guilty so quickly and yet another cover up involing my actions
was under full steam. Everybody knows that.the US Government has been
trying to keep my concerns about the rampant public corruption a
secret for well over seven long years. However now that a lot of
poeple and their countries in general are losing a lot of money people
are beginning to remember just exactly who I am and what i did
beginning over seven years ago..

In a nutshell my concerns about the actions of the Investment Industry
affect the interests of every person in every district of every
country not just the USA and Canada. I was offering to help you with
Emera because my work with them and Danny Williams is well known and
some of it is over eight years old and in the PUBLIC Record.

All you have to do is stand in the Legislature and ask the MInister of
Justice why I have been invited to sue Newfoundland by the
Conservatives


Obviously I am the guy the USDOJ and the SEC would not name who is the
link to Madoff and Putnam Investments

Here is why

Notice the transcripts and webcasts of the hearing of the US Senate
Banking Commitee are still missing? Mr Emory should at least notice
