Why people ignore warning signs
Morning File, Tuesday, July 28, 2020
News 1. Witness told police that mass murderer “builds fires and burns bodies, is a sexual predator, and supplies drugs in Portapique and Economy” Tim Bousquet is on vacation, but still reported on documents related to the RCMP’s investigation in the mass murders of April 18/19, which a Nova Scotia judge ordered redacted. And there’s […]

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) […]

Nova Scotia massacre: Did the RCMP “risk it out” one time too many?
Catharine Mansley was a Mountie for 24 years. In time her mind began to go from all the stress of being a RCMP patrol officer in Halifax County. She began drinking. When she complained about her problem to her supervisors, that just added to them. She was caught driving drunk twice. Convicted once, she went […]
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 […]
Dear Mr. Premier: I know you’re busy but…
You need to appoint a public inquiry into the recent mass murders in Nova Scotia. Now. Yesterday. It needs to be open and transparent and broad-based. I have a few suggestions. You're welcome.
Dear Premier McNeil, I know you’ve been busy, telling Nova Scotians to stay the blazes home and telling our legislators to stay the blazes out of affairs that are none of their business.
