Wortman Fredricton Smuggler : Fitch, “We coulda had him any day, we only let him slip away, out of kindness I suppose”

How come UNB’s “JERK OF THE YEAR” , illegal liquor and tobacco smuggler gabriel Wortman was never caught by the Fredericton Police ?

Who says they didn’t ?

do you believe what our FEDERALES say ? That they could have had him any day ?

After all the RCMP yesterday admitted that Gabriel Wortman was indeed a alcohol and tobacco smuggler at UNB Fredericton between 1987-1991 - but how to they know that : did a court state that ?

After all, I believe that Gabe Wortman had a habit of chasing away kids from the public sidewalk in front of his two Dartmouth home, sometimes beating them up.

But I “know” for sure about that only in one instance, when an attack on Matt M  that resulted in the child going to hospital,  cost GW a hefty - wait for it ! - $50 fine.

Its on the public record.

What evidence do the RCMP have that GW was a smuggler, as opposed to them merely “believing” he was smuggler ?

Probably its best that we all ask a person who was on the Fredericton police force at the time and had been there since 1985 and remained there till 2019 when she retired as police chief.

Wortman Public Inquiry commissioner Leann Fitch....

what proof do mounties have Wortman was an illegal smuggler in College ?

Did she confirm the RCMP’s other witnesses ?

Gabriel Wortman, as far as we can tell, was never charged or convicted of smuggling tobacco and alcohol over the US border while a UNB student in Fredericton between 1987-1991.

So what makes the RCMP so sure he was doing so that the normally tight-assed lipped force just issued a long press release saying so ?

Maybe they asked somebody big in the Fredericton police, someone who was serving with that force since 1985.

Someone like Leann Fitch, Wortman Public Inquiry Commissioner.....

RCMP Pension Scandal : Anne McLellan looks the other way, again

the kid was born with a Liberal Party card in her hand  : they don’t call her “Fixer-Anne” for nothing...

Any thorough investigation into the RCMP actions over the 35 years of Wortman crimes  at the recently announced Public Inquiry is bound to bring in their former boss,  ex- federal justice minister Anne McLellan —- who will be grilled, no doubt, by Inquiry Commissioner Anne McLellan.

It stinks, folk.

I could go on for days about all the times our Anne comes away smelling less than rosy whenever Liberal scandal poop hits the fan.

I can remember, for example - even if the youngsters in the media don’t - the RCMP pension scandal of 2004 with our Anne thick into it.

The Heather Robertson fit up.

On and on : the fix is in...

I have added this brief biographic addendum to this story as it quickly became clear that Anne McLellan’s name and political career drew a blank with most people.

She was elected a Liberal MP in 1993 and served till 2006 - the whole time in the Cabinet !

Justice Minister, Public Safety Minister, deputy Prime Minister : she was the go-to person on all matters of policing and security in the prime years that Gabe Wortman was criminalizing about.

She’s still a backroom (and sometimes front room) advisor to the Liberals.

She knows (A) where all the bodies lie buried (B) how to keep her mouth shut...

RCMP ‘Burying the Evidence’ with indecent haste & a backhoe

Regimes all over the world, all throughout history, call it “BURYING THE LEDE” : bulldoze the evidence & there’s no news story....

Thanks to a judge shoving a gun into the RCMP’s mouth and ordering them to cough, we now know just a little more about what the RCMP’s Wortman search warrants (35 years too late) were looking for.

It seems there were multiple eye witness allegations that Gabe’s main property at Portapique was quite the little shop of horrors.

The number of crimes witnesses alleged had happened there could have/should have keep the mounties looking for years - as they did at the Picton Farm.

But then Willie boy wasn’t a valued CI was he ?

The blood was barely dry on countless victim’s car doors, windows and seats before the bulldozers moved onto the ‘lead crime scene’ burying any evidence there might be of secret tunnels and secret rooms of horror and bodies buried on site/en suite.

Ultimately we might need a judge ordering a good old fashioned exhumation cum excavation to find out what was hidden on Wortman’s main Portapique residence....

multi-generational “INSIDERS” so inside they don’t even know it

we need outsiders, so outside that they won’t recognize a cop shop, lawyer’s den or a liberal rally if they fell upon it...There are now three Maritime born and raised justice industry insiders/lifers running the Inquiry into how the Maritime Justice System handled Maritimer & lifer criminal Gabriel Wortman.

Former Liberal Justice Minister Anne McLellan is very very Liberal : want to bet what party this Liberal lifer’s mom, dad and siblings supported ardently ?

Former Fredericton police chief Leanne Fitch is a lifelong cop : want to know what her dad did for a living ?

Federal Liberal Minister Bill Blair is a lifer cop : want to guess what his dad did for a living ?

former NS chief justice J Michael MacDonald, a patronage appointment to the bench , is a lifer lawyer : want to guess what his kids do for a living ?

Provincially Liberal Premier Stephen McNeil is NOT a cop or lawyer : but do you want to know what his mom, brothers, sisters in law etc did for a living ? Or under what party his mom got her sheriff’s job ?

Currently I can’t find out the parentage of Michael MacDonald or Mark Furey re whether they were cops, lawyers or Liberals : I do know MacDonald himself was hyper-Grit Dave Dingwall’s bagman ( enough said) and that Mark is a current Liberal MLA and former lifer RCMP officer ....

Two Wortman victims in wintry woods all night : only one makes it into Ripley’s Believe It or Not

some religious can walk unharmed in bare feet over hot coals : other’s bare feet evade the danger of frostbite

It was bitterly cold that night, back in April 18th 2020 in the deep dark woods of Portapique Nova Scotia.

The night Gabe Wortman ran amuck.

Some surviving victims  who spent the entire night in the woods had some winter clothes on but still ended up in hospital for frost treatment.

Others had no winter clothes, also spent the whole night in the woods, but somehow escaped the winter freeze unharmed.

I am not saying call in the Pope or anything just yet, but the latter claim does seem a miracle.....

LEGALLY, RCMP can lie to Review but not to Inquiry re Wortman, CI or not

the red serge can LIE to REVIEWs, but not to INQUIRIES

The Mountie handbook on handling CIs, (confidential informants) has been fine-tooth-combed by the Justice Department’s smartest lawyers to be legally waterproof.

It says the RCMP can freely lie to almost everybody about CIs, to protect the case and above all to protect the lives of the informant & family.

I can’t really disagree with that.

But : to prevent this being an excuse to evade oversight, the same handbook says they can not lie in a judicial setting : like a courtroom or a Public Inquiry set up under courtroom rules.

But they are free to lie to a mere internal private ‘review’ : the kind pushed by the Ad Hominem Grits : McNeil, Furey, Blair & Trudeau.

This CI issue, more than any other mistake our mountie employees made, is what our employees want to keep from us, their bosses.

Sure, they said to themselves, it was embarrassing that our other mass killing CI, “Dany Boy’ Kane, was publicly outed.

But he murdered mostly other druggie low life : few were shedding many tears over his victims.

But the blameless Portapique dead, killed by a mountie CI ? This could be the perfect shitstorm that just might cost us all our pensions.

No public Inquiry : public Review if you must, but not a fully judicial Inquiry : no way, boss Blair, no way...

first Wortman Inquiry witnesses : the father & son mounties on the job April 18th

matching serge uniforms for father & son team on the PORTAPIQUE case that night

Here’s the first pair of witnesses I’d like to hear from on the first day of the “insiders-probing-insiders” Wortman Inquiry :

(My fingers itch to type WHITEWASH instead of INQUIRY...)

...the mountie son, apparently second on the scene at Portapique on April 18th and his mountie pa, apparently the staff sergeant in charge that night back at the North West NS mountie HQ.

I certainly feel for any boss-dad who has to order his own child into an almost certain fling at death against a heavily armed mass killer, under the new mountie doctrine re mass killers : “engage immediately, don’t wait for backup.”

From all accounts, depending on numbers available, you form a sort of diamond and proceed, guns potentially blazing, against the last known spot of the killer.

Not easily done in a deeply dark deeply wood night.

Still, I’d like to hear from father and son whether the doctrine was even attempted that first night.

We badly need to know : because this will not be the last mass shooting in rural Canada, nor the last done in the dark.....

partial Wortman Inquiry victory : Foxes still investigating Foxes

we need CFAS more than ever to guide the Wortman public inquiry 

Am I happy we are having a full public inquiry on the Wortman Debacle ?

Yes.

Am I happy the three Inquiry Commissioners, Mclellan, MacDonald & Fitch are all deep career insiders from the Maritime Justice Industry they are supposed to be investigating ?

Decidedly not.

Look, when an armed mass killer is on the loose with a police cruiser in the dark of a Nova Scotia rural night, I don’t want any CFAs from BC or Ontario leading the search.

Leave that to locals.

But when it comes to investigating how the local justice system in two provinces Effed Up for 35 years on the Gabriel Wortman file, the last people I want are local insiders investigating their own actions and the actions of colleagues, relatives and friends.

Now is the time to bring in the CFAs : the further away the better.

People from Ontario, Alberta, BC : just as long as they aren’t from here, married someone from here, went to university here.

I want a detached, objective and not subjective, probe of the Debacle....

say a prayer for our “LAST RESPONDERS” in the Time of the Covid, too...

mass graves, not in a Third World Country, but in the heart of the most powerful, richest, smartest city in the Universe....

Death is natural and inevitable but normally it happens on a slow steady regular basis.

While most of us can’t handle even one death very well, some of us chose to join professions where dealing with death on a daly basis is either our only job (morticians and morgue attendants) or a major part of the job : medical staff, first responders, priests etc.

Its tough work but they somehow manage.

But in the world’s larger centres hit hard by covid, the new pressures must be overwhelming our usually overlooked  “Last Responders”.

So many bodies, all stripped of their the traditional dignity of a long slow funeral service, rapidly dumped in hastily dug mass graves by overly tired, heavily depressed grave workers.

They too will bear long term scars from this modern Plague Year....

were some of Gabriel Wortman’s lovers men & women high up in political & legal circles ?

Maybe the DEAD Wortman has the same thing on the politicos that that the LIVING Maxwell has...

Maybe the reluctance of the federal and  provincial Maritime Liberals to have a public inquiry about Gabriel Wortman isn’t about his unchecked violence or his payments as a mountie CI at all: maybe is is something even more basic and primal : sex.

Could it be that among Wortman’s many sexual partners over the decades, some of those names now include people high up in both the legal and political worlds of the Maritimes ?

With the Wortman Whitewash well underway, we’ll never know.

Maybe that was the main intent all along ....

Gabriel Wortman Coroner’s Inquest ?

Only in the UK : Canadians too gutless to have coroner's inquests and -Heavens !- coroner’s juries....

It is not as if that coroner’s inquests have totally disappeared in Canada : it is more that they have gone inside, behind locked doors, conducted by professionals beyond the laity’s eyes.

“Medical Examiners”. Private investigations, private results.

Rather like the drastic decline in public royal commissions and public public inquiries, replaced by private secret ‘reviews’.

Increasingly our professional employees run us, their bosses, not the other way around.

Because over the years, we have let them.

Canadians : gutless....

Imagine hundreds of millions of electric vehicles acting as a collective giant national battery !

mere economic questions won’t stall green renewable but the CON in the tin hat living next door might...

Distributing excess amounts of wind and solar electricity energy forward into time, to periods in the day when the supply is lower and or demand is higher, is a pressing economic barrier to a green economy, at a time when direct electricity production from renewables is ALREADY way cheaper than non-renewables.

Storage costs, not production costs, are the biggest barrier.

But what is uniquely valuable about any nation’s collection of vehicle and the batteries (together with home & business garage charging posts) is how inherently de-centralized it already is and that its costs of storage are naturally borne by the vehicle owners not government or business.

Statistically, it is very reliable and very robust addition to a national power grid rendered fragile by shifting to locally unreliable wind and sun away from huge reliable stockpiles of coal sitting next to a handful of megawatt base cola-fired power generators.

Here is an article that describes the idea in more detail.

The idea is so wonderful I bet the CONs are already dreaming up conspiracies to destroy it. Why exactly do CONs need to be so hateful ?

Yes, I could couple it with articles on how cheap solar panels are altering the economics of the world’s heroin suppliers in Afghanistan but let’s leave that hot potato to another day - and to another set of CON conspiracy freaks....

Wortman Whitewash is a job interview for Senate seat

the Grits’ Red Serge Chamber....

If the Servile Three play their cards right, if the federal and provincial Grits come out smelling like roses and the victims are painted as mostly the authors of their own misfortune ( “One has to ask, would some have died if they had been in a House of God on that Sabbath morn ?”), they could all be offered a Senate seat by Trudeau Lite.

The savage kicker ?

The Servile Three will be anointed as “INDEPENDENT” senators.....

Conclusions of Wortman Whitewash leaked !! 23 victims were ‘authors of their own misfortune’ and justice system blameless

the most feared phrase in the Canadian lexicon : “We’re from the  Justice System and we’re here to help VICTIMS.”

And that Lee Harvey Wortman acted alone —— and was not a ‘Dany Kane Junior’....

In a ideal Wortman Inquiry, FITCH, MACDONALD & MCLELLAN would be in docket, not judges’ chair

“JUST AS EVERY COP’S A CRIMINAL AND ALL THE SINNERS SAINTS, AS HEADS IS TAILS, JUST CALL ME LUCIFER, CAUSE I’M IN NEED SOME RESTRAINTS”

In an ideal inquiry, Fitch would be cowering in the docket, under oath and under the Klieg Lights, trying to defend the role of the municipal police (like herself) and the RCMP (like her dad) in Gabriel Wortman’s 35 years of un-detected crime.

MacDonald would be in another docket, trying to defend how the court system let Wortman skate the one time he was in court, for beating up a child for no reason.

McLellan would be  in yet another docket, trying to explain why justice system politicians are now so bent on covering up these 35 years of mistakes.

But instead - back in our real and topsy-turvy world - they are up at the front of the room, leading a probe into the justice industry they have spent a life inside !

And the victims of crime ?

As usual, on the outside, staring inside through the window at the dark and mysterious mumbo jumbo talk within........

why isn’t DAVE DINGWALL heading Wortman Review ?

Our Anne-with-the-stellar-reputation was also a great liberal PARTY FIXER, when the chips are down : fear the worst 

Well, you can  imagine the universal uproar if the right-some-less-than-honourable davy dingwall was put in charge of the Wortman Cover-up !

“He’ll cook the process so the federal and provincial grits will come out smelling like roses !”, the media, opposition and general public will cry.

As indeed he would.

But so would - er so will - J Michael Mac and Anne Mclellan .

But they will do so much more subtly.

They both have generally stellar reputations —- unlike someone like Dingwall, whose partisanship can be smelt a mile away.

But when the chips are down - they are just as puppydog-devotedly Liberal as Dingwall.

Case in point : Anne McLellan championed a new way of appointing justices : with the federal government supposedly listening to a special non-partisan committee of law experts to present a list of highly qualified, qualified and under qualified candidates.

(Still usually candidates who were supporters of the party in power, but progress of a sort.)

But when the NS Grits suddenly needed a suitably rewarding job for long time eminent grise/bagwoman/political organizer Heather Robertson, our Anne told the vetting committee to revisit the decision to place Heather on the less than suitable list.

A judge resigned in protest and Chief Justice Constant Glube took the controversy before parliament the minute she was retired.

Justice Robertson still got her fairy sugar plum.

J Michael Mac was even more discreet in his aid to the Grit parties in their hour of need.

He had been the bagman for Davy Dingwall and got his prompt reward as an unusually young supreme court justice.

Us little people are never sure how this or that court case ends up before this or that judge, but when young J Michael Mac was made the judge on the Regan Rape Case, he did what the gossip in the better homes and gardens of Nova Scotia told him needed to be done.

The federal and provincial Grits definitely wanted Regan to stop molesting little girls : he had started when he was 15 and was still ‘at it’ a half century later. It was hurting party recruitment of young female  star candidates : besides which, many of the girls molested were the daughters of fellow Liberal party members !

But the spectre of Colin Thatcher also lay before them : when he went to jail, he basically destroyed the chances of either the provincial Liberals or Tories ever re-emerging as credible parties in Saskatchewan.

It was best if Regan was exposed in public about his half century of sexual assaults - without him going into the record books as a criminally guilty Liberal Premier.

J Michael Mac smoothly - using all sorts of legal arguments - separated or dismissed the most explosive charges - the assaults upon babysitter-daughters of his nextdoor neighbours & fellow church goers - leaving just a few very old assaults upon basically strangers.

Most jurors are or were parents - just like the voting public - and these ‘babysitting’ cases were the closest thing to a parents’ ultimate nightmare.

Imagine that your daughter is raped not by a total stranger, but by a family friend that you have trusted enough to look after her. Whether it is a priest or coach or family friend or uncle that abuses your trust, you feel tremendous self-guilt on top of the normal anger and pain over your daughter’s assault.

I saw these as the cases that would put Regan away for a long time - unfortunately, so did J Michael Mac.

The police had about 50 women who had come forward, usually unknown to each other - often provinces and decades apart - all with remarkably similar stories to potentially use to bolster the few selected charges J Michael Mac was willing to let stand.

But J Michael Mac did not let anyone hear about them - not until Regan was safely found not guilty. Then in a shock to the defence, in a stroke of pure genius, he letting all their stories be heard at once, at the same time as news of Regan’s not guilty verdict.

It destroyed Regan in the public’s eye and I do not believe he ever touched another girl in the remaining 21 years of his life.

The crown and police were not totally happy with J Michael Mac, but not angry enough with the results to take it up to appeal.

The party was very very grateful for the smooth stick-handling.

J Michael Mac moved on ever upwards.

This Wortman Review will be the feather in his cap : unless a Senate seat awaits....

fate of Colin Thatcher’s party dominated thoughts of fed and prov Grits before Regan trial

fate of the EVIL ONE’s party in Saskatchewan dominated Grits during Regan Rape Trial

Nobody in the federal or provincial NS  liberal parties was losing too much sleep over the thought of Gerald Regan going to jail for rape.

After all, often his victims were the daughters of his best friends within the Liberal party !

Sleeping with your best friends wife is déclassé : raping his daughter : the very depths of Dante’s Hell.

But they saw what the conviction of Colin Thatcher did to his party’s prospects in Saskatchewan.

(Hint : death.)

They desperately didn’t want a Nova Scotia Liberal leader/premier/federal cabinet minister/MP  being seen escorted to a federal pen to serve his time for rape.

The trial had to be seen as sort of fair and yet Regan had to get off.

Peeling off the terrible optics of the three babysitter victims from next door, did just that.

The rest of the trial plodded on but it was all for show : the defence and crown both knew that.

The ever-grateful federal and provincial Grits, their party in NS saved, never forgot when it came time to consider appointments....

the heart of the Regan Trial was not rape but BETRAYAL : parents being betrayed by the folksy neighbour they trusted

Back in those naive good old days, we thought our 14 years old were perfectly safe babysitting next door....

When I closely examined the charges laid against Gerald Regan back in the mid-1990s, I did so with a series of large scale ordnance maps at the reference department of the old Halifax Library.

I had long sensed that the real deepest depths of Regan’s crimes was not rape - certainly not the rape of strangers - but rather something all parents could understand - and fear : your own children being destroyed by an individual that you personally and willingly had placed them in the care of !

Today we think of priests or sports coaches in these circumstances, doing bad stuff a mile or two out of our sight.

However, in this case, it was something bad that happened even closer to home, a situation even worse.

Imagine looking out your living room window to the living room window of the house right across from you, the home of Jerry and Carol and all their wonderful kids.

Your daughter cum babysitter is minding those kids from across the street.

She is literally in eye shot and ear shot of you : you feel secure in her safety.

And yet, in that same living room, right before your eyes if you had been spying ( but of course you haven’t - the Regans are a wonderful family) your daughter is being molested by the ‘man of the house’. The guy you trust, the devout catholic from your own parish.

When I mentally put the addresses on the babysitter charges on a large scale map of central Halifax, against Regan’s home there at the time of the crimes, I let out a low whistle.

“When any parent hear this, when the jury hears this (for most jurors are or were parents) this guy is going away for a long long stretch.”

Unfortunately a very clever man - the judge - felt as I did : the babysitter cases were dynamite against Regan.

He tossed the babysitter cases and from then on the trial was doomed : I knew it would fail.

Just as the Portapique Inquiry is going to be a yet another whitewash of powerful Grits, arranged by powerful Grits....

If J Michael Mac does to Portapique victims what he did to Regan babysitter victims, fear the worst : the absolute worst...

at the heart of the babysitters case was not rape but two acts of BETRAYAL : (1) parents trusting the good catholic family man with the big family living next door  (2) the same parents trusting a judge to do right

In my view, by far and away the strongest part of the entire Regan rape trial was the that of three babysitters from central Halifax, daughters of his close friends and closer neighbours : parents who had trusted the nice family man from right across the street explicitly.

It would make a terrific if terrifying made-for-TV movie : every parents’ worst nightmare. Of course you trust the nice catholic family man with the big family of kids, living right next door to you, with your babysitting daughters. Then : Amityville Horrors...

The judge felt otherwise - or far more likely - agreed with me.

J Michael is no fool : he senses the public & jury optics on this betrayal of trusting parents would send the province’s top Grit to the slammer forever.

He tossed their cases out posthaste.

The overall case, in my view, was doomed to failure from that point on.

The Grit’s man, now a fully made man, went on to higher and higher things.

But I resign myself to my honest belief that his ultimate reward will come on Judgement Day....

defund HRM POLICE COMMISSION not the police, then the COUNCIL next

Forget de-funding the POLICE, under the WARD PRINCIPLE, why de-fund Police Commission & HRM Council instead ?

Howdy fellow bosses, one of our employees, HRM municipal solicitor Marty Ward says its perfectly alright for unelected STAFF to bring for new policy and for Police Commissioners to rubber stamp it.  (Marty didn’t indicate if the SCOC agreed though.) 

 But I don’t like it and here’s why:

When things go wrong in government - as they sometimes do - and elections roll around, we won’t want our elected councillors evading moral responsibility for the mistakes made by claiming it was the unelected Staff that wrote the policy and that the elected councillors merely rubber stamped it.

The guys with PhDs call it “The Principle of Responsible Government“ ; others who operate more on the street level, simply call it “The Buck Stops Here” : some single collection of elected individuals has to be wholly responsible for writing and passing policy decisions.

Otherwise we might as well ditch municipal Boards and elected councillors and move to elected Staff on the American model where even dog catchers must sometimes face annual re-election efforts...

Chester refuses to fly RED CROSS’s flag : CBC rages !!!

CBC OUTRAGED as Chester accepts Red Cross disaster assistance but won’t fly their flag

The municipality of Chester Nova Scotia has had a flag policy since 2007 that only flags of governments can be flown by the municipal flagpoles, while everyone else is completely free to fly whatever flag they want.

But when Chester refused to fly the flag of the Red Cross after all the aid the organization had provided Chester residents in their hours of need, the CBC’s Robyn Simon was there to publicly fan the flames of one Red Cross supporter’s irate discontent.

Wasn’t she just .....?

No, actually Robyn’s efforts were made on behalf of an irate Pride supporter protesting Chester’s flag policy.

My point is that mainstream media, just like prosecutors, have enormous ‘discretionary’ powers in deciding whether or not to proceed with a news story or prosecution.

They claim to be objective, but nothing is ever more subjective and arbitrary (rather like a municipal ‘pick and choose’ flag policy, in fact ) than deciding this or that story is not ‘newsworthy’ or that this or that prosecution is ‘likely’ to win.

One might think such subjective decisions are best made by juries —— or the news stories clicking public.

When they are not, we get biased news and biased prosecution policies.

Ask yourself, if in the year 2020, an irate supporter of the Red Cross had called CBC Halifax that Chester won’t fly their flag, do you think it would it have rated this full out CBC effort ?

Now a lot of people think that because this media discrimination is being on behalf of Pride efforts, it is good discrimination : but 30 years ago - in the year 1980, the shoe would have been on the other foot.

Back then, senior CBC staffers would definitely have rushed to support the Red Cross’s complaint, remembering its war time efforts with gratitude, while finding a Pride complaint un-newsworthy.

So, it is not that the mainstream media doesn’t listen to the general public : they do so acutely, too acutely.

So when the general public is indifferent to Pride or Red Cross, unfairly so, the CBC dutifully tacks along with the general prejudice.

But when the CBC does that, it fails at its job....

Portapique victims should lobby GERALD BUTTS

Nova Scotian GERALD BUTTS (the one not in blackface) is Trudeau’s oldest friend and advisor

Nobody and nothing is ever going to move Stephen McNeil & Mark Furey to hold a full and fair public inquiry on the Gabriel Wortman Scandal.

They and their families are at least as involved in past dealings with the killer as are a bunch of mounties from out west who only arrived here recently.

ER : “There is a hospital in Truro !?” Say what you will about Stephen and Mark , they’d never say anything quite that dumb as this remark from a mountie here to ‘save’ Nova Scotians from the killer.

Nobody can move McNeil, that is except Justin Trudeau, currently embroiled in a disaster of his own making : the “WE F***KED UP” Scandal.

Mr Trudeau’s deep pockets can really yank the McNeil regime by the financial short and curlies : Premier Stephen may ignore the ordinary voters’ cries but he always listens closely to those of the credit-raters and money-lenders. The man is all about the bottom line : in many ways, more tight-fisted than any CON politician.

The recent huge crowd of Portapique victims & supporters at the Bible Hill RCMP HQ was very impressive but the person they probably need to impress the most wasn’t there.

Not even in the province.

He is Justin’s most trusted advisor - and native Nova Scotian - Gerald Butt, the widely regarded architect of Trudeau’s two surprising election victories.

Butts is both a very clever political operative and a decent fellow to boot.

Butts, now an Ottawa resident and a green energy activist, must be convinced that opening up a Wortman Inquiry and letting all the sad but fascinating details emerge into the public might be the only thing that can chase the WE Scandal off the pages of the media - and save the bacon of his close friend Justin...

CROWN : we free to LIE about Portapique victims but telling the truth will cause their relatives irreparable legal harm

McNeil Regime claims you can LIBEL Portapique dead - just not tell the truth about them !

Mark Heerema is a NS Crown (and my former neighbour on Shirley Street).

He will be in court today forced to eat an awful dog’s breakfast, all part of the lawyer’s daily life.

He must argue - and with a straight face, that’s the hard part - that while I am freely allowed to wickedly lie about the characters of the  23 Portapique victims - ie, libel the dead, and their families must listen helplessly, if I truthfully declare whether they died by fire or by bullet, I will have caused irreparable legal harm to those same surviving family members !

This is patent nonsense and Heerema knows it, as does Mark Furey, Stephen McNeil and Chris Leathers.

Folks,our employees are up to no good.

Tthey f***ked up, big time,  on the Gabriel Wortman file and they will do anything - and this case - say anything - to prevent us, their bosses, from finding out....

Maryam Monsef on hot seat as Wortman Inquiries calls widen to include rural policing issues across Canada

can only MARYAM MONSEF save the TRUDEAU bacon on the WE-F**KED-UP scandal ?

Most Canadians - even rural Canadians - don’t even know that we have a  federal Minister of Rural Development or that her name is Maryam Monsef, but that is all about to change.

As the juicy details behind the WE Scandal emerge to fill media columns in the dog days of summer , only her response to the calls for a truly wide and open public inquiry on the Wortman shootings can save the federal Liberals’ bacon.

For Gabriel Wortman‘s killing spree is just the tip of a national scandal that dwarfs the tawdry WE affair.

What began as complaints about inadequate rural policing in a small part of Colchester County NS after the RCMP debacle that was the mounties ‘response’ to the Portapique shooter, has now spread right across Canada as rural voters in hundreds of federal ridings signal that Colchester’s unhappiness with the Mounties’ policing-by-wire is not unique.

Right across the work spectrum, employees in many organizations have secured pay packets well above a minimum wage only to discover that they are now badly overworked and stressed out as ever rising workloads are spread over fewer - but much better paid - employees : themselves.

So while RCMP detachments now all seem to inhabit shiny new big buildings with scads of mounties, the actual number of detachments has dropped sharply : those impressive new mountie detachment HQs now police areas of thousands of square kilometres.

As a sometime rural resident myself, let me state the bloody obvious : when I am being targeted as the possible victim of the next rural home invasion, I want the would-be criminals to reflect that one Mountie on site in my village is easily worth a dozen Mounties in an HQ a half hour away.

That the possibility of one mountie with a hand pistol bursting in on their backside is worth far more worry than a SWAT TEAM with carbines still stuck in traffic twenty km away as the thieves make their escape in the dark...

now we know WHY the mounties don’t want a PUBLIC inquiry

1757 : the last time the RED SERGE bosses executed one of their own for being a coward instead of a leader...

Unless Justin Trudeau throws the McNeil police brothers and the Furey Mountie brothers under the public inquiry bus to divert attention from his growing WE-F-UP Scandal , we are unlikely to ever learn the details of the RCMP Debacle of April 18-19th 2020.

The next best effort might be this from veteran journalist Paul Palango in the HALIFAX EXAMINER.

I can’t ever hope to recount the number of basic mistakes the mounties made over those fatal 13 hours —- and that Palango details.

But I believe Paul’s account shows that they ALL stemmed from the mountie tradition of keeping everything ‘in house’  ——- including the truth.

They seemed determined to retain the appearance of always being in control and always on top of the situation, to uphold the mounties’ proud traditions, even above saving their employers’ (us, the NS public) lives.

They rejected sharing any of the responsibility & credit with local police with acute local knowledge, instead bringing in baby mounties from New Brunswick who presumably had just arrived there by stork from somewhere out West.

How else to account for a tape recording of a mountie telling an incredulous Truro cop that they weren’t even aware that Truro HAD a hospital ! (Or paved roads ? Or piped water ?)

There can’t be many normal adults in Atlantic Canada who aren’t aware that Truro is a very large and very central community in Nova Scotia and thus to surmise it has a hospital.

Unfortunately, we don’t put normal Maritimers in charge of saving our lives : we hire green-behind-the-ears mounties from places west of Winnipeg instead.

But the top Mounties in NS, who had a much longer sojourn here, frankly weren’t much better : again we hear tapes of them ‘advising’ ground forces from central HQ of the current whereabouts of Gabriel Wortman but in fact twice mixing up communities that were more than 30 km apart !

Palango’s account, this time, is not discussing the mistakes made by two levels of police in two provinces over a 35 year period that allowed a life-long violent criminal to skate away repeatedly from charges the rest of us who certainly have faced.

In that sense, it doesn’t claim the mounties on the ground the night of April 18th could have saved any of the first 13 dead.

But it does make clear that the other 13 dead should have survived, would have survived if the mounties had ....played by their own rule book : that to save lives is job one.

Instead most seemed to have stayed well down in their funk holes - with the few braver mounties being told to stand down and not engage the killer.

Basically then, a real public inquiry would expose widespread cowardly behaviour of the sort that got Admiral Byng shot by British firing squad all those years ago...

“Let’s GOP for a JOE!”

I can see a “Let’s GOP for a JOE!” button being a huge hit south of the 49....

Not since a sizeable percentage of normally strong Democrats ‘put on a button’ for Republican presidential Eisenhower in the early 1950s, have so many Americans abandoned their life-long party to vote for - even work for - its opponent.

It may even turn out to be the most interesting aspect of the upcoming American slogfest for foreign observers : because the ultra high level of America partisanship simply doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world anymore...

Trudeau to divert focus away from WE by calling full public inquiry on Wortman ?

Trudeau is ruthless enough - but is he smart enough - to throw friends under the bus to “Give media WORTMAN to save WE” ?

To save their own skins, are Justin Trudeau and the federal Liberals about to announce a full public inquiry - with real teeth - on the Wortman file ?

With full powers to compel witnesses to testify under oath and with full subpoena powers to obtain documents back from the shredding machines ?

Sure, it would mean throwing both provincial Liberal leader Stephen McNeil AND the federal RCMP under the bus.

But, let’s be honest : as all the startling, disgusting, fascinating revelations start emerged about Wortman and his relationships with the Mounties and HRM police, who would bother reading about the tawdry but much less titillating details in the WE scandal ?

The counter theory is that Trudeau Junior is too stupid to seize the opportunity : where other -wiser -politicians see even the hint of scandal as a potential danger zone, Justin just sees a shovel and proceeds to dig himself ever deeper into the murk of his own making.

Currently my money is on the latter view : I don’t think anyone will ever go broke under-estimating the innate lack of street smarts from this sheltered scion of parents from two very privileged and wealthy families..

“Better Dead than Masked“ “Masks under the Bed” “Are You now or have You ever been Masked?” “I have here a List of hundreds of Mask-Wearing employees in the State Department”

its the 1920s & 1950s RED SCARE all over : only this time, the REDS are wearing MASKS...

The CONS’ Red Scare is back : only this time the anarchist-communists are wearing masks, not throwing bombs or stealing atomic secrets.

And it has got to stop ! A store clerk recently explained the sharp rise in my favourite brand of canned milk by simply saying “its the price of tin”.

Apparently the tin can is now worth far more than the milk contained within - due to conservatives mistakingly bidding up tin mining shares (their G5 protection “tin hats“ are actually made of aluminum).

Yes, I am joking : but this is serious:

The more scientific evidence emerges that social distancing combined with masks are far better at preventing the spread of Covid-19 than the original plea to engage in excessive washing down of everything in sight, the more the CONS fight back.

Spraying down newspapers in diluted blench was acceptable but touching my face with a mask is not, even if it actually sharply reduce the pandemic - and thus lets the economy get back to work - as the CONS want so much !

Contrary minded just for the sake of being contrary.

Science’s sin is that the CONS think all scientists are liberals.

Ironically, the evidence suggests until 1965 marking the informal end to High Modernity, scientists - and academics in general - were overwhelmingly conservative.

In the USA, university communities were seen as the safest GOP areas - today they are same - but for the Democrats. So clearly their animus in this case is based on facts.

But is Science pro-liberal because conservatives are anti-Science ?

The evidence seems to be that as Science grew to be less about developing techniques to grow production (and hence grow wealth, as narrowly defined as more money not a better life) and the more time it devoted to examining the harmful effects of those new production techniques, the more the CONS began to hate it.

The classic example is when scientists stopped perfecting leaded gas and began examining the harmful effects of lead gas on young kids.

The problem is that philosophically, conservative thought - yes, it does exist ! - has abandoned its traditional roots in ethics, treasuring the certitudes of goodly living, and moved into economics, reducing all existence to its accounting value in dollars and cents.

Conservatives, unreflectively, have become self-centred libertarians.

Conservatives need to remove these CONS : these greedy self-centred, too often violently paranoid libertarians - from their ranks and once again hew to their traditional values.

Traditional collectivist values : we all should wear masks for the common good...

Gabriel Wortman : “Too Much and Never Enough”

details just how an “OPEN SECRET” criminal got away with for decades —- with our help

The best way to begin to understand Gabriel Wortman’s 35 years of un-prosecuted criminality might just be to read Mary Trump’s new book on her uncle Don, “Too Much and Never Enough”.

She makes it clear just how openly & weirdly evil DT was from a very young age and yet how we - the world around him - ignored the Red Flags for decades and then elected Mr Evil the leader of the Free World.

We here in Maritime Canada  - in our own small-minded way - did much the same for Gabriel Wortman, also for decades.

Almost no one who came across our own Mr Evil got very angry or very mad.

It seems that there were just a few : God knows who you are.

But for the rest of us - who knew and did nothing : shame on us.

For our sins : ‘go forth, child and read Mary Trump’s book and think about saying your mea culpas - to someone, to God, whoever - and then on your knees : four heartfelt Hail Marys that it never happens again....’

as Gabriel Wortman case reveals, American medicine far excels over Canadian re autopsy results

Her autopsy results released within hours...

The Canadian authorities doesn’t like greeting their critics with the iron fist and the police baton, in the American or general world model.

We are different here : oppression is very polite and well mannered here.

Why bother with nasty guns & such : simply out-wait the bastards.

Delay, delay, delay...

How exactly did Gabriel Wortman die at police hands, back in the Spring, when the late snow was still on the ground ?

We will have to be content, we are content  - because Canadians are always sheep-like willing to defer to authorities -to find out the GW autopsy results in the Fall, when the early snow is falling.

But in the US, newsworthy autopsy results - even complicated ones involving blood tests - are released within days or even hours.

A recent example ?

This GLEE singing star....

Dear CBC : you are my only hope, my memory does not deserve constant online slurs from the non-mainstream media. Yes I shot and burned animals alive, but a body count does not tell the whole story.

Dear CBC : I abused animals but I have some excuses I have made up. 

The above statement was submitted to Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and released unedited, in the the interests of Political Correctness, Woke-Ness and the Cancelling of Burdensome Content ...

Err : actually it wasn’t.

But if Gabriel Wortman had instead used pets as a weapon, swinging them about at the end of a chain instead of just burning them alive, he might have got into the CBC — if his excuses were creative enough, Woke enough, PC enough, Cancel Culture enough....

Dany Kane, a bisexual adulterer CI paid by mounties while killing 11, sounds a lot like Gabriel Wortman

DANY KANE : BIKER & BI : not a good combo, as GW no doubt also realized

Paul Palango has broken a lot of leads on the Gabriel Wortman Rampage, this despite the Mounties being tighter than the Lubyanka Prison when it comes to releasing the truth on this affair.

(Spin ? Oh they release a ton of that.)

His latest article is in the Halifax Examiner.

And the key takeaway is not something he copped from some secret source : it came right out of his memory cells, something we all could have/ should have had.

Wikipedia had all you needed to know about the career of Dany Boy Kane.

Kane was well known here in Nova Scotia.

Dany Kane was a secret bisexual adulterer who was paid by the RCMP to be a CI (secret informant) about the outlaw biker gangs, all the time he was also killing 11 people for the bikers - some right here in this province.

(Interestingly, one of the totally innocent victim in the bikers murder rampage in Nova Scotia was a Portapique man named Charles Maddison, who disappeared about the time GW arrived on the Portapique scene back in late 2000...)

So, you still think it unlikely that GW could have been doing the same ?

I got a cheap Brooklyn Bridge I gotta unload - quick - cash only....

“CANCEL CULTURE” has been a-WOKE-en by phone camera videos online

If I stuck this in the back pocket of my tight jeans, would it make my butt look fat ?

Technological Determinism is when you claim humanity has been changed more by a new technology than by a new way of thinking.

And it is something your college prof always warns you against evoking too readily.

Nevertheless, I am constantly struck by the fact that most WOKE slash CANCEL news stories begin with the two words “online video...”.

Both words are critical.

This CEO might have been a racist for many years without it harming his steady swim to the very top of the corporate slime pool.

People in the early 1990s might even have videoed his racist rants in action if they were in habit of carrying around a bulky VHS camcorder everywhere they went.

But nobody was - and so nobody did. If a racist tree falls in the forest, does anyone hear it - or see it ?

Skip forward two decades and now everybody does carry a camcorder about : or rather, they almost all have portable pocket phones — with an incredibly sharp and incredibly tiny camcorder built into a tiny corner of it.

They carry the phone and its camera about everywhere and all the time.

So now they have a video of a CEO going postal on an Asian family in some dust-ridden small town in northern California —- so what ?

Or more accurately, besides the immediate family of the phone camera owner, who knows ?

This is where the second word ‘online’ comes in .

Online implies a lot of things.

For today, we will consider it as (A) allowing anyone to make digital material (our infamous cellphone video) available for anyone in the world to see, on something like this blog and (B) and allowing others to re-post that digital video content forward to still others and so on : the whole viral content process.

Now - confession time. Until I began blogging about Gabriel Wortman’s mass killing rampage and also commenting on various Wortman discussion groups on Facebook, this blog had absolutely no readers.

Zip - none.

I could have taken a video of this racist CEO and put it on my blog for all the world to see and he would have stayed in his job till he retired, perfectly safe.

But if I was a extremely minor Facebook activist who naturally attracts a few Facebook fans who are also minor activists, any FACEBOOK mention of the video, together with a link to it, would have started the ball rolling.

If my re-re-re-re-posted original Facebook entry and its infamous video eventually reached some social media biggie and they pushed it along, in a day or two we would learn of the CEO stepping down as a hot news item on Goggle News.

All of this without the gatekeepers of the traditional big media, with their barns full of fretful lawyers vetoing any story that had actually has news in it, being involved at all.

(Big shout out to the CBC !)

The media’s role is now limited to perfectly safely reporting the firing of the CEO.

This is why, in my view, the Cancel-Woke movement is as strong as it is today : the mainstream media’s “reporting” has mostly resulted in protecting the powerful, because the reporters’ editors always claim the evidence is “simply not strong enough to report”.

The media’s ‘stalling cum gatekeeper’ role is removed by the internet virus process : and because the  evidence is very strong, an audio and visual recording , the social media actually has real news at hand to report...

Lawyers got Wortman off with their mouths : silver-tongued courtroom eloquence is the stock-in-trade of our most expensive lawyers

Barristers’ Eloquence is their ‘Stock-in-Trade’

Even a normally ‘chatty’ defendant is well advised to keep silent and let their lawyers do the talking in court : that’s the job the barrister is trained to do well.

A wealthy client can afford the best lawyers, the best courtroom eloquence around.

Such a defendant is more likely to skate off relatively lightly than one who acts as their own advocate in court - or is so poor and undervalued by society that they can only get a poor lawyer presenting an indifferent defence.

Simply being a wealthy, white, Protestant, native-born, professional, entrepreneur - without being a police CI as well - is enough to let an unusually violent individual skate through our legal system for three decades.

All of those characteristics help : but the first is the most important: because Courtroom Eloquence is rare and Courtroom Eloquence doesn’t come cheap.....

Buying & Selling Property was in the Trump & Wortman Genes

real estate TYPHOONS, spreading destruction wherever they go...

It is no secret that Donald Trump and Gabriel Wortman didn’t always see eye-to-eye with their Fathers, Fred Trump and Paul Wortman.

Both fathers and both sons were a piece of work : because they all were domineering and schemer-dreamers, they were bound to fight hard with each other —- and fight often.

But despite this, both father-and-son combos did share a common love : wheeling and dealing in real estate were the Alpha and Omega of their lives.

Scheming individuals with short fuses don’t make the best property owners.

Because property boundaries are something that comes with property : and prickly people who readily find it easy to start fights see their property boundaries (and boundaries in general) as something worth fight over.

When Gabriel Wortman found children on the sidewalk too close to his zero-setback property line, he beat them up - at least once badly enough to send the child to hospital and Wortman to court facing a criminal conviction.

(That he skated on this occasion, and was thus free to later kill 23 innocents, is the biggest single tragedy of the whole Wortman Rampage.)

When he found a neighbour helping Wortman’s partner on the matrimonial property she shared with Wortman, Wortman threatened to kill the neighbour with his stash of illegal guns unless he moved off.

When he got into a property line dispute with another neighbour, Wortman engaged in arson.

He ripped off friends and his uncle and parents in his various property wheeling dealing.

Like Fred and Donald and Paul, Gabriel was all about property.

Understand this and you begin to understand two of the most evil people on the Earth in 2020...

Kancel Karens Kill free expression of differing opinions

worker bees debate - couch potatoes “CANCEL”

The world needs - and will alway need -  a free and full clash of heated honest open frank opinions and we should only bring in the police - literally, as in criminal charges - for those comments that advocates violence against individuals or groups.

A university should permit extreme speakers to speak on campus but permit and even command the dissenting university president/Senate/Board  to join the protest lines outside the hall : ‘yes, we rented the space to X, for a profitable fee, but we don’t agree with X’s views’.

We can’t allow extremists to starve to death merely because all dissenting food chains deny them the right to buy food here in Canada, anymore than we’d like to learn dissenters to Putin starved to death when all the food chains there denied them the right to buy food because the chains disagreed with their politics...

150 countries around the world now have at least 1000 deaths from Covid-19

day by day, Covid-19’s red alert colour spreads to a new country or territory...

I have taken the figure of a 1000 deaths from Covid as the point when the general population of a political unit finally sits up and say “wow this is serious - I might die”.

That political unit could be city like Toronto, a state like Texas or a nation like Guatemala : it matters little : there is just such a psychological jump from say 920 dead to 1000, a tipping point that is only matched when the 10,000 and 100,000 totals are breached.

There is always a big delay in determining accurately what any illness’s death total is - it usually takes many months to many years to reach an experts’ consensus.

Six months into this pandemic for most states has let a more accurate picture emerge.

The biggest one for me is that the geographic sweep of this disease is now as broad as the 1917-1921 Spanish Flu : even the most remote island political units are now reporting cases and deaths.

This means a nation could get a Covid outbreak from a visitor from almost any other country or territory in the world : death from a thousand different pricks, if they let their guard down for a single incoming plane flight.

And letting their guard down is what almost every nation has done at one time or another : so now 150 nations have all had at least 1000 Covid deaths - some like the USA are now up to 150,000 to 200,000 deaths reported and estimated.

Because covid affects a certain type of cell found all over the body, it can kill or permanently damage us in literally dozens of ways.

Combine this with it being a relatively infectious disease that can spread from people showing no visible signs of the disease, possibly by highly mobile aerosols, makes it the most serious medical threat to global humanity since the Black Death of a 1000 years ago.

Because conservatives of all political stripes can’t  or won’t read medical evidence and can’t or won’t read history, they do not agree : but they are wrong.

And sadly for millions of victims, hardly for the first time in medical history either....

progress sometimes meaning going backwards : Coroner's Juries & Grand Juries

If I were premier of Nova Scotia, I would replace SIRT and all other new fangled signs of progress in ‘policing the police’ by going back : back to Coroner’s Juries and Grand Juries.

Both are part of the Common Law system that English Canada shares with the UK , the USA and other countries.

They remain viable in some countries using the Common Law but are dead in others.

Both are awkward to our expert professional employees in the justice system because they invite the boss - that’s you and I the taxpayer- into the inter bowels of law and order.

There we tend to ask awkward questions that these expert - on both sides of the bar - defence and crown - would rather not see raised.

This has all caused me to come to reject the title - but not the thesis - of Edgar Z Freidenberg’s famous academic study “Deference to Authority”.

I now would prefer if it were entitled “Taxpaying bosses’ deference to their public employees” ....

MLK’s “Letter From a Birmingham Jail”, as re-written by GAIL L GATCHALIAN

A historic handshake between LBJ & MLK , one year after King was put in Birmingham Jail

“As a legal addendum to the US Civil Rights Act of 1964, be it hereby resolved, that the Reverend Martin Luther King and the police and prosecutors of the City of Birmingham Alabama agreed to the following statement of facts :

that during the legal negotiations leading up the successful negotiating and signing of this new contract between the federal government and its peoples, both the reverend and the legal authorities engaged in several acts of street theatre.

as part of that street theatre, the Rev King merely pretended to break the law in an act of civil disobedience and the legal authorities merely pretended to arrest him and jail him with excessive force.

Therefore be it resolved, that as part of the successful passage of the US Civil Rights Act, letters of official reprimand be removed from the personnel files of both Rev King and the chief district attorney for the city of Birmingham as continuing to pretend that both broke the law is disrespectful and insulting to both.

To accuse either of being ‘unprofessional’ is a very serious accusation and both are professional and have always acted completely professional.”

Witnessed this day by Gail L Gatchalian, Pink Larkin, a lawyer with preferences for Bad Faith and Casuistry, in the County of Halifax Nova Scotia, July 2nd 2020
