NEW BRUNSWICK’s deadliest disease is Collective Amnesia, not Covid

One of this month’s hottest news stories is cold, cold, cold on New Brunswick’s news-chasing social media forums.

Odd that.

Because its that very, very rare combination : a story with both widespread global interest and yet one that originates from New Brunswick, normally the Sahara Desert of  interesting news coverage.

Originated as in Gabriel Wortman, the Portapique Spree killer, who was raised and schooled in New Brunswick, and someone whom, for the majority of his life, regarded New Brunswick as his home base.

GW is simply unprecedented in global history as a spree killer.

 No expert has yet to come up with an case like his : the sheer length time of his killing rampage  combined with his total rage - killing and burning and blowing up anything and everything :  not just people but animals, houses, cars, anything in his path.

That speaks to such a deep-seated rage that must almost certainly have began with events of his earliest years before public school.

It made him seem odd and strange from the earliest times - such that he was voted the biggest loser and asshole on the entire UNB campus while still a young adult : winner of the infamous CHUCK COSBY AWARD.

But yet, from New Brunswick - from the people that knew him so intimately, knew him best : nothing, nothing  —- just complete radio silence.

Or nothing but kind gentle memories of Gabe the teen  - the New Brunswick teen.

But Gabe the Nova Scotian adult ?

Oh, that was pure evil....
