On Saturday, April 18, a man the Halifax Examiner refers to as GW, went on a drive with his common-law spouse (CLS). They “drove the back roads,” CLS said in a statement later given to RCMP Staff Sergeant Greg Vardy. “They … ended up near a penitentiary that GW said his uncle Glynn had been […]
February 12 was a strange day for the man who two months later would murder 22 people
That snowy Wednesday morning, he had a bizarre run-in with Halifax police — one he gleefully bragged to Frank Magazine about. That evening, he was ticketed by an RCMP cop for driving 1-15 kph over the speed limit on a rural gravel road in Portapique — but the cop won't talk about it.
Last February 12 began as a poor-weather day in Nova Scotia. The province was pretty well shut down because of an overnight snowstorm. Schools and public buildings were closed in Halifax and Truro. The temperature was hovering around the freezing mark. More snow was forecast. It was not the kind of day to be wandering […]
Why we need a full public inquiry into the Nova Scotia massacre
Is it a crazy idea that the Nova Scotian mass murderer was a police informant? Consider the historic context: while he was an RCMP informant, Dany Kane killed 11 people.
We are now about to enter our fourth month since that horrendous weekend of April 18-19, when 22 people were murdered in an unprecedented rampage in Nova Scotia by the madman denturist the Halifax Examiner is identifying as “GW.” From the outset we’ve known two things: 1) GW was a psychopathic, revenge-seeking maniac and 2) […]
“Body parts still in the automobile” of mass murder victim when RCMP released the car to the victim’s family, claims lawsuit
A newly proposed class action lawsuit names the RCMP and the Attorneys General of Canada and Nova Scotia for alleged improprieties during and after the mass murder spree of April 18/19. One of the representatives of the class action is Tyler Edison Blair, the son of Greg Blair and the stepson of Jamie Blair, both […]
Mass shooting lawsuit amended; victims’ families call for public inquiry
The class action lawsuit brought against the estate of the man who killed 22 people and injured seven others during a fiery rampage across northern Nova Scotia has been updated through an amended statement of claim. The lawsuit includes three groups of plaintiffs: those whose loved ones were murdered by the person the Halifax Examiner […]
Premier McNeil: A message from my grandmother about the RCMP
That horrible weekend last month, all Canadians witnessed what was likely the most catastrophic collapse of policing in Canadian history. Little, if anything, went right. Twenty-two people were murdered. The gunman marauded around the province of Nova Scotia with seeming impunity, only being killed and captured because the last person he murdered had left her […]
Court document provides new info on mass murder
A court document obtained by the Halifax Examiner provides new information about the mass murder spree across Nova Scotia on April 18 and 19. The document is an “Information to Obtain” (ITO), which was delivered to a justice of the peace as an application for a search warrant related to the police investigation into the […]
Lots of people knew about the mass murderer’s destructive behaviour, and did nothing
People knew. Long before he went on a murder spree across Nova Scotia, killing 22 people, lots of people knew about the gunman, who we’re calling GW. They knew GW was disturbed, and called him a “psychopath,” a “sociopath,” “paranoid.” They knew he beat women. They knew he collected an alarming number of weapons, some […]
Source: Halifax police held back response to mass murderer
On Sunday morning, April 19, the Halifax Regional Police (HRP) was alerted that a gunman (GW) was heading towards the Halifax Regional Municipality in a look-alike RCMP cruiser, and was heavily armed. Despite those warnings, HRP denied a request from its Emergency Response Team that additional members be called in. Later in the morning, HRP […]
The mass murder isn’t “senseless” in a culture that excuses the violence of white men
Why can't we understand how the impunity with which white men are allowed to threaten, to follow around, to fixate and to harm connects to how GW was able to move in silence until it was too late? Our culture continues to give white men a pass and then act shocked in the aftermath.
After she wrote an article naming “white male terrorism” in the Nova Scotia mass shooting and other mass killings in Canada, Robyn Bourgeois, a woman of Cree heritage, predictably woke up to death threats from white men. Of the many things we were told it was “not the time” for in the wake of the […]
