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
On Monday morning the public inquiry examining the rampage that left 22 people dead, injured others and devastated communities, is examining the Truro Police Service's role and communications between the two police forces.
Truro's police chief, Dave MacNeil, is testifying about the events of April 18-19, 2020.
He said while RCMP eventually asked for Truro to lock down the town after they realized the gunman was on the move the morning of April 19, he had no idea what that practically meant.
With no details about which roads to block, McNeil said it seemed like a pretty wide open statement.
"It was very vague and kind of time sensitive — it takes some time to lock down a community," McNeil said.
"It's a little bit of a last-minute Hail Mary type of a thing, I think."
CBC News previously reported the municipal police agency's only direct involvement overnight was to station an officer at the town's hospital following a request from the emergency department when staff there learned RCMP were searching for someone after a shooting in Portapique, N.S., about 38 kilometres away.

The hospital remained locked down into the morning and Truro police officers guarded the entrance. Some family members of those being treated spoke to them in the overnight hours.
Call logs obtained by CBC News show that minutes after the first call from the hospital at midnight, a Truro corporal called the RCMP for the first time. About an hour later, an RCMP dispatcher called back to advise they were responding to an active shooter situation and the suspect was linked to a former police car that might have a type of decal on it.
Early in the morning on April 19, Truro police Cpl. Rick Hickox encountered in the town two Mounties from Antigonish who were looking for directions to the dispatch centre after notifying someone in the town their loved ones had been killed.
The pair told him there were four or five people killed in Portapique and that RCMP didn't know where the gunman was, he told the inquiry. "We had no indication the person was outside Colchester [County]," he told the commission.
Between 1 a.m. and 9 a.m., the RCMP called Truro police five times, relaying information gathered about the suspect's vehicles, and it sent three "be on the look out" (BOLO) bulletins to police agencies in the province. Shortly after 8 a.m. the notice described the replica police cruiser and said Gabriel Wortman was "arrestable for homicide and is armed and dangerous."
(CBC News)
Records released to the CBC through freedom of information legislation also showed that MacNeil emailed the two highest-ranking Mounties in the province at 9:50 a.m. offering assistance. Chief Supt. Chris Leather responded at 10 a.m. saying they believed the suspect was "pinned down" in Wentworth.
Leather and Supt. Darren Campbell later clarified in a June 2020 press conference that Leather's comment related to believing the suspect was contained at a home in Glenholme, N.S., a community 34 kilometres closer to Truro.
But at 10 a.m., the gunman was actually in Debert, N.S., even closer to Truro, where he killed Heather O'Brien and Kristen Beaton, Victorian Order of Nurses colleagues who were in separate vehicles on Plains Road.
He then drove into Truro and continued south toward Halifax, injuring one RCMP officer and killing three more people: Const. Heidi Stevenson, Joey Webber and Gina Goulet.
(CBC News)
Receiving that email at a time when officers in Truro were talking about calling in more people — and about 20 minutes after they heard from an RCMP dispatcher that the suspect might be heading toward the town — changed his team's perspective, MacNeil previously told the Mass Casualty Commission.
"We kind of took a collective deep breath and figured this was a done deal," he said in an August 2021 interview.
"The decisions I made the rest of the day were based on that email."
Several senior Mounties have told the inquiry just how hectic it was responding to the shootings and in particular how things shifted quickly Sunday morning after they realized the gunman was on the move again and targeting people on the roadside.
'Fragmented' information
That Sunday morning, it was difficult for Truro police to follow where the gunman had been spotted, especially after the email about Wentworth, and that they did not receive clear tasks from the RCMP, MacNeil told the commission.
"The information we were getting was fragmented and it really didn't make a lot of sense to us," the police chief told inquiry investigators.
The police service did ask the officers working that morning to drive around the town and tell people who were out walking they should go back inside. MacNeil said fortunately most businesses were closed because of COVID but his dispatchers did try to call the big stores that were open to advise them of a situation in the county.
Commission documents show Truro police called in one extra person overnight and five extra officers Sunday morning.
Request to lock down Truro
At 10:37 a.m., an RCMP dispatcher called a Truro dispatcher to pass on that Staff Sgt. Bruce Briers, the risk manager working out of the RCMP's Operational Communications Centre, wanted the municipal police force "to lock down" the town.
By then the gunman had already driven through downtown Truro, but neither police agency knew that at the time.
When Truro police Cpl. Ed Cormier asked what locking down meant, the RCMP dispatcher suggested "maybe you can do some roadblocks on the main," according to the transcripts previously released to CBC.

the RCMP sent police in Truro updates about their suspect's believed
location, the information was not up to date or accurate. (CBC News)
Truro police Insp. Darrin Smith told the commission he felt he didn't have enough information about setting up roadblocks and felt it was "obvious … the information … was all over the board, all over the map."
"It was almost like it was a panic statement thrown out by somebody to the dispatcher without any real forethought of what they were asking us to do," Smith said in his interview with the inquiry.
Smith said up until that point, he'd thought the threat was half an hour away and that only then did he learn about the deaths in Wentworth and Debert.
In an affidavit filed in response to a lawsuit launched by families, Supt. Darren Campbell described the exchange as telling Truro "to advise them to secure the perimeter of Truro."
MacNeil called the RCMP's characterization as "a bit of a misrepresentation of the truth." He said it would've been helpful to have been told something more specific about where to set up a roadblock, when interviewed by the inquiry.
Within half an hour, Truro police did respond to a possible sighting of the gunman at a Sobeys in Lower Truro, N.S., that was unfounded.

When the gunman drove through Truro, he passed close to the police station but did not cross paths with the three Truro cruisers out in the community, the public inquiry found after analyzing GPS data from the vehicles.
MacNeil did not find out the gunman drove through the downtown until the RCMP released surveillance photos of the replica cruiser captured from local businesses in a press conference nearly a week after the shootings.
He felt "completely blindsided" and would have appreciated a heads up from the RCMP, he told the commission in his interview.
In it, the police chief also spoke about how he felt the RCMP was resistant to his force's plans to release documents detailing a 2011 warning about the gunman through freedom of information.
Sheriff warned judge to leave home
The Mass Casualty Commission's report also explained why a provincial court judge in Truro was warned about the gunman being a possible threat.
Judge Alain Bégin previously represented the gunman's uncle in a civil dispute involving a property in Portapique.
The inquiry determined Sgt. Jason Power, who worked for Nova Scotia Sheriff Services, anticipated his team might have to interact with the gunman and started a risk assessment after seeing an RCMP tweet identifying him.
When he found reference to the civil case and Bégin, he anticipated a possible conflict of interest and notified his supervisor, who then called the judge.
After learning about the replica cruiser, the supervisor, Supt. Cody Zielie, told Bégin to go for a drive and later followed up to let the judge know the gunman had been killed.
Corrections
- A previous version of this story said Truro Police Chief Dave MacNeil emailed RCMP Chief Supt. Chris Leather at 8:50 a.m. This was an incorrect time due to an erroneous reference to the time in another email. In fact, MacNeil sent the email at 9:50 a.m. This version has been corrected.Jun 06, 2022 11:06 AM AT
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Families of N.S. mass shooting victims end boycott, to return to inquiry hearings
Lawyers representing the relatives of the 22 people murdered in the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shooting will retake their seats at next week’s mass casualty commission hearings, but they say their clients’ lack of confidence in the process remains.
Tara Miller, a lawyer representing the family of two victims, said in an interview Friday she will return to the public hearings beginning Monday, but “our return next week is by no means an endorsement of the decision made by the commissioners,” who prevented cross-examination of key Mountie witnesses.
Last week, lawyers representing the majority of the 22 victims’ families boycotted the commission proceedings at the direction of their clients. This was in response to the decision to prevent the families’ lawyers from directly questioning Staff Sgt. Brian Rehill and Sgt. Andy O’Brien.
“They’ve lost confidence,” Miller said. “While the lawyers will be there next week, I’m not sure what clients will be there.”
The commission said they agreed to allow the two witnesses to avoid being cross-examined and to testify through video instead of in person due to the officers’ unspecified health concerns. In response, the families of victims took to the streets last week in protest.
Patterson Law, which represents 14 of 22 families, said in a statement last week that their clients are “disheartened and further traumatized” by the commission’s decision. Patterson Law lawyer Michael Scott said in an email Friday his team will attend public proceedings next week.
Miller said that on May 30, she told the commission she planned to table a motion amending the rules so family participants can question witnesses directly. She said she is waiting to hear back from the commission. The motion, she explained, is critical toward restoring confidence in the commission process for the victims’ families.
Many key RCMP witnesses have yet to testify at the hearing, Miller said, adding that all should be cross-examined.
“The deep concern from my clients and other families as I understand it, is that we will see this again,” she said.
Emily Hill, senior counsel for the mass casualty commission, told reporters Friday it’s possible the commission will grant further accommodations to witnesses that would allow them to avoid being cross-examined or testifying in person. But she said no further requests for accommodations have been made so far.
“At this point we haven’t received any other requests … but if we receive them, then we have to consider them,” she said.
“Family lawyers have been permitted to ask questions of almost every witness,” she said, and some questions asked in the recorded testimony came from families’ counsel.
Miller, however, said she was able to submit written questions to commission counsel, which she said does not equate to adequate questioning of witnesses. “It’s misleading for them to suggest that the ability to ask questions has been allowed.”
“What we’re advocating for is appropriate cross-examination, which is materially different than asking questions, putting them in writing and giving them to commission counsel to ask in place of us doing it ourselves with the appropriate followup,” Miller said.
Wayne MacKay, a professor emeritus at the Dalhousie University law school in Halifax, says it seems there was a lack of communication between the Mass Casualty Commission and the public about why the decision was made to exempt two senior RCMP officers from being cross-examined.
“I realize there is … personal health information that has to be respected. But even with that, the families have walked out with their lawyers for part of it,” he said in a recent interview.
“Surely, there needed to be a more fully developed and thoughtful communication about that whole process,” he added.

Senior Mountie describes ‘beast’ of organization that oversaw mass shooting response
WATCH: The public was once again
restricted from listening to the testimony of a senior ranking RCMP
member at the Nova Scotia shooting inquiry. Now retired Staff Sgt. Andy
O’Brien was part of the team that made critical decisions the night of
the mass shooting. As Graeme Benjamin reports, there are parts of the
response he wishes they could have done better.
The commission of inquiry is investigating how a man disguised as a Mountie and driving a replica RCMP cruiser managed to kill 22 people on April 18-19, 2020, before he was shot dead at a gas station by police 13 hours after his rampage began.
Sgt. Andy O’Brien, who is now retired, confirmed Tuesday he was off duty and had consumed four to five drinks of rum over a four-hour period when he learned from an officer that a suspect was shooting people and setting fire to homes in rural Portapique, N.S., about 130 kilometres north of Halifax.
“Any time that you’ve been drinking, to go to work would call into question the integrity of any decision-making,” said O’Brien, the RCMP’s operations non-commissioned officer for Colchester district.
“I was not intoxicated, but that’s not the point. There’s always going to be a perception if people are aware you have been drinking … that you’re compromised.”
Still, O’Brien asked his wife to drive him to the RCMP detachment in Bible Hill, N.S., where he retrieved his portable radio and returned home to provide advice to responding officers.
The inquiry has heard there was confusion over who was in charge that night. One of three commissioners leading the inquiry _ former Fredericton Police chief Leanne Fitch _ has described a “considerable breakdown in communication.”
On Tuesday, O’Brien told the inquiry the RCMP’s way of handling high-risk, complex incidents was akin to building a large business in a matter or minutes or hours.
“There’s always going to be growing pains in any structure, especially one you create on site in a ridiculously short time frame, with a completely new or unknown business goal,” he said.
“There are going to be crossed wires. There’s going to be duplication of effort. There are going to be things that are missed.”
O’Brien said this process, though flawed, is remarkable for its flexibility.
“We have a long history of figuring things out on the fly,” he said. “We’re all very familiar with the concept of, ‘That may not fall exactly within my job description, but if it needs to get done, it gets done.”’
Anna Mancini, a lawyer for the commission, drew O’Brien’s attention to his response when an officer in Portapique asked via two-way radio if a second team of Mounties could join three colleagues who had already entered the darkened enclave to stop the active shooter at around 10:25 p.m.
When the request came in, O’Brien said he waited for “what seemed like a lifetime” before deciding to instruct the officer to stand down because a second team working in the dark could lead to a dangerous crossfire.
“This was a case of me knowing the answer and not hearing anyone respond,” he said. “Obviously, none of the (other senior officers) heard the transmission … or was in a position to (respond).”
In earlier testimony, the district commander for the area, Staff Sgt. Allan Carroll, said he was surprised to hear O’Brien’s voice over the radio because he though his colleague was at home. Carroll also said O’Brien may have breached RCMP protocol by overstepping his authority.
“He should have run it up the chain, run it up to the other people,” Carroll testified last week.
Earlier this year, a federal labour investigator concluded the RCMP operation lacked clear leadership and created “an environment of confusion” for front-line officers
Nova Scotia mass shooting: Families of shooting victims boycott inquiry over questioning of RCMP – May 29, 2022
Regardless of the protocol, O’Brien remained involved in the decision-making until 3 a.m. the next morning. He was later assigned to manage the crime scenes in Portapique, where 13 people had been killed during a 40-minute span before the killer escaped by driving down a little-used path.
O’Brien described providing advice to officers as they searched for the killer in Portapique on the first night, including pointers on the RCMP’s policy for dealing with high-risk incidents.
“I have a very strong sense of responsibility for the members,” he said, pausing to maintain his composure. “I lost a member in 2017 who worked for me. My nightmare that night was that I was going to lose another member.”
O’Brien was the third senior Mountie to be granted special accommodations by the commission. Last week, the commission decided O’Brien and Staff Sgt. Brian Rehill would be exempt from having to face cross-examination from lawyers who represent relatives of the victims.
That decision, which was based on unspecified health concerns, prompted protest marches outside the hearing room. As well, most of the victims’ families told their lawyers to boycott the proceedings last week and this week, prompting speculation about dwindling public trust in the commission.
The testimony of O’Brien and Rehill was recorded in a largely empty hotel conference room. The contents were not released to the public until their testimony was completed.
Rehill told the inquiry Monday there was so much information to process on the first night that it felt like being hit by a tsunami.
He admitted that his plans to block the killer’s escape from Portapique were thrown off by a subordinate’s “misunderstanding” and a crush of competing duties.
“I have to own that,” he said. Rehill said he still suffers from nightmares, poor sleep and constant reminders of what happened two years ago.
Last week, Carroll testified via a Zoom call, but he did face cross-examination from participating lawyers.

RCMP wanted 2011 tip about N.S. gunman to 'go away': Truro police chief
Chief Dave MacNeil talked to public inquiry about dealings with RCMP in wake of mass shooting
Truro's police chief felt the RCMP was resistant to his force's plans to release a 2011 bulletin warning that the gunman who went on a shooting rampage in 2020 had weapons and threatened to "kill a cop," according to documents released by the public inquiry examining the tragedy in Nova Scotia.
Two weeks after Gabriel Wortman killed 22 people, including a pregnant woman and an RCMP officer, CBC News requested all of the Truro Police Service's records related to the mass shooting through freedom-of-information legislation.
Chief Dave MacNeil told investigators with the Mass Casualty Commission he had informed the RCMP in advance that his legal advisors had determined they were bound by legislation to release their files. In response, he said two of the most senior Mounties in the province, Chief Supt. Chris Leather and Chief Supt. Janis Gray, arranged a call.
"To me [the message] was, this bulletin needs to not surface. We need to explain this bulletin away," MacNeil said in his interview with the public inquiry.
"I felt as if, I'm not going to say pressured, but I felt … if the bulletin could go away they would be very happy. And I wasn't able to do that because that's not the way I do business."
MacNeil, who the commission interviewed in August 2021, said he felt it was "not ethically and morally correct" to withhold the public records requested by CBC and Global. He said he declined the RCMP's request to review their files in that May 2020 call.
The police chief declined to speak with CBC News Thursday, citing his participation in the inquiry. He expects to be called as a witness in June.

bulletins are issued rarely and one of his officers submitted one about
the gunman in 2011 that was circulated across the province. He said they
didn't investigate it directly because the shooter lived in Dartmouth
and Portapique, N.S. (Elizabeth McMillan/CBC)
The RCMP told CBC News it would be inappropriate to comment on specific documents or testimony while the inquiry is underway.
In an emailed statement, Cpl. Chris Marshall said Leather and Gray got in touch with Truro earlier, on April 24, because they were looking "for more details, including the context of the information in the bulletin and whether additional information was available."
Officer safety bulletin
The records released to CBC in May 2020 included transcripts of dispatch communications on April 18 and 19, bulletins circulated by the RCMP about the active shooter on April 19 and emails that refer to an anonymous tip that Cpl. Greg Densmore received in 2011 about Gabriel Wortman.
Densmore had sent an "officer safety bulletin" to other police agencies at the time warning them he'd heard from an unnamed source that Wortman had several guns and a source said he was experiencing some mental issues.
Prior to CBC publishing a story about the 2011 tip, the RCMP had not mentioned it publicly — though records show municipal police forces flagged the bulletin in the hours after the gunman's name became public on April 19 and the RCMP began looking into it within days.

of 2020, which contained a tip about the man who, nine years later,
killed 22 people in rural Nova Scotia. (Truro Police Service)
MacNeil said the release of the tip became a "contentious" issue and that the RCMP wanted him and other municipal chiefs to be part of a joint press conference about it.
"It became very clear to the three chiefs that this was about 'how do I move the narrative and put it on someone else.' And we weren't playing ball," he told the commission.
Marshall said the purpose of a May 26, 2020, call with police chiefs from Amherst, Truro and Halifax was to discuss a potential press conference about the bulletin given "it was associated" with all three municipal forces. An officer from Amherst had found the bulletin in his files.
MacNeil told the inquiry, as he told CBC News at the time, the tip related to someone who didn't live in his force's jurisdiction so his agency's involvement ended after it was submitted and it would've been up to other agencies to investigate.
'Rock bottom' relationship with RCMP
Though the RCMP did not ask the municipal force to respond on April 19, except for a late request to "lock down" the town and to investigate a possible sighting of the shooter at grocery store on April 19, Truro's police chief told the inquiry it had a profound impact on his team and community.
"The incident caused a lot of angst and grief among our officers," he said. "A lot of them thought the thing was a complete mess…. [They] weren't given information, but we didn't have information to give them."
In his interview with the commission, he said his front-line officers still have a good relationship with their Mountie counterparts in Colchester County and they share information as needed. But he said at the senior level, the strained dealings with RCMP hit "rock bottom" in the wake of the tragedy.
He said at the provincial level, the RCMP dealt with his command team with "intimidation and spin doctoring and lack of transparency."
The commission had initially planned to release this week its preliminary report on the involvement of municipal police agencies on April 18 and 19, 2020. The release of that foundational document has not yet been rescheduled.
HRP made calls after 2011 tip
When asked in the spring of 2020 about how officers responded to the 2011 tip, the RCMP initially said they had purged the records from their system and did not have access to the bulletin on April 18 and 19. In a June 4, 2020 press conference, they said they were looking into contact an officer had with Wortman.
Documents released this spring by the public inquiry showed that after the bulletin circulated in 2011, a police officer in Halifax who'd looked into a previous complaint that the gunman threatened his parents followed up with Densmore.
Cordell Poirier, who has since retired from the Halifax police force, told the commission that he had contacted RCMP Const. Greg Wiley in Bible Hill following the 2010 threats complaint. Wiley described himself as a friend of the gunman's and told Poirier he'd try to speak with Wortman about the complaint directly.
Poirier told the commission said he found it "strange" to learn that more than a month later, Wiley had not done so. Poirier closed the file in late August without ever hearing from Wiley.
Wiley told RCMP investigators in a June 2021 interview that he didn't remember speaking to Poirier, and described Wortman as a "very very polite guy."
After the 2011 bulletin was released, Poirier — describing Wortman in his notes as a "viable threat" — contacted the Bible Hill RCMP detachment again and told on-duty supervisor Const. John MacMinn about the previous year's incident. MacMinn, who hadn't seen the bulletin, said he'd follow up with Wiley and contact Poirier with an update.
"I never got that update," Poirier told the commission. "I don't know if he contacted somebody in our department and passed the information along, but I never got any information."

Other FOIPOP requests denied
CBC filed the same request for records sent to Truro police to the Amherst Police Department and Halifax Regional Police. Amherst released its records but Halifax did not, citing the ongoing investigation.
Halifax police also denied a subsequent request for information about how it responded to the 2011 tip. CBC appealed both matters and they have yet to be resolved.
CBC has also filed numerous access-to-information requests to the RCMP.
Some requests were denied because the material requested related to the "the detection, prevention or suppression of crime," one of a number of reasons public bodies are allowed to make exceptions. None of the records released included reference to the 2011 tip.

2011 tip that warned N.S. gunman wanted 'to kill a cop' was purged from RCMP records
RCMP can’t say what was done with the bulletin that was sent to police agencies in 2011
Police agencies across Nova Scotia were warned in May 2011 that a denturist named Gabriel Wortman had a stash of guns and said he wanted "to kill a cop," according to records newly obtained by CBC News.
But the Nova Scotia RCMP can't say what, if anything, was done with the tip about the man who police believe went on to kill 22 people, including an RCMP officer, in rural Nova Scotia in April.
The 2011 warning came after an unnamed source approached Truro police Cpl. Greg Densmore with detailed information about where Wortman kept his guns, including that he may have been transporting a handgun between his home in Dartmouth and his cottage in Portapique, N.S.
CBC News obtained a copy of Densmore's report from the Truro Police Service through an access-to-information request. Sections are redacted, but it shows the bulletin was distributed through the Criminal Intelligence Service of Nova Scotia, a network of policing agencies that share information.
There appear to be contradictions around who was responsible for acting on the tip.

Wortman's cottage in Portapique is in RCMP territory, but his principal residence in Dartmouth was not in RCMP jurisdiction, said Cpl. Jennifer Clarke, spokesperson for the Nova Scotia RCMP.
She doesn't know if anyone from the RCMP ever followed up on the concerns.
"I don't know what was done or what wasn't done at the time," she told CBC News.
CBC followed up with Clarke on Friday, but she wasn't able to provide any additional details about what the RCMP did with the 2011 tip.
"We can't speak about specifics of the follow up to the 2011 bulletin because our database records have been purged as per our retention policies," Clarke wrote in an email.
"Preliminary indications are that we were aware and at minimum provided assistance to [Halifax Regional Police], which aligns with the RCMP's approach for such enquiries."
Bulletin purged from RCMP records
The Halifax Regional Police say they investigated the tip at the time and even interviewed some of Wortman's relatives. Investigators determined that any information about weapons was related to Wortman's cottage and not his property in Dartmouth.
They sent their findings to the RCMP, according to Const. John MacLeod, a spokesperson for the Halifax Regional Police.

what was done to follow up on a tip from 2011 about the man who later
carried out a mass shooting in Nova Scotia. (CBC)
But Clarke said that as the manhunt for the gunman began in Portapique late on April 18, the RCMP didn't have the information in the 2011 bulletin at their disposal as it had been purged from their records. She said the force typically keeps such warnings for only two years.
When asked whether that information could have been helpful to officers who responded to the shooting, Clarke said it was difficult to say.
"I mean, it's hypothetical if there is something that could've been done to prevent this," she said. "I think myself and any number of people would want to know that. But I don't know."
'It's a piece of the story'
The bulletin came to light April 19 when an officer from the Amherst Police Service recognized Wortman's name and dug up the 2011 notice in his email. He shared the information with his supervisor, who passed it on to the RCMP, according to Amherst Police Chief Dwayne Pike.
Truro Police Chief Dave MacNeil said one of his officers also recovered the nine-year-old document about a week later, after it was brought to their attention.

rarely, and one of his officers submitted the one about Wortman in 2011.

It's the latest indication that there were warning signs years in advance that Wortman was dangerous.
"This is the largest mass [shooting] in Canada's history, and it's a piece of the story," MacNeil said in an interview.
"What piece that plays, I don't know. I'm not at liberty to speculate on that, but it's information that should be shared with the public."
The 2011 bulletin was the second time in less than a year that police had been made aware of Wortman's possibility for violence, the documents revealed.
The bulletin describes how Wortman was investigated for "uttering death threats to his parents" on June 2, 2010. That investigation also included information that he had several guns.
Halifax Regional Police investigated, but closed the file without laying charges, according to its spokesperson.
He said there wasn't enough evidence to lay charges or get search warrants.
The 2011 tip
In the officer safety bulletin from 2011, Densmore writes that he received information from an unnamed source on May 3 saying that Wortman had "stated he wants to kill a cop" and was upset with how police investigated a break-and-enter complaint he made.
"He believes police did not do their job in relation to this investigation," Densmore wrote.
The tipster told police that Wortman was "under a lot of stress lately" and was starting to have some mental health issues, describing him as "becoming a little squirrelly."

about Wortman, who earlier this year killed 22 people in rural Nova
Scotia. (Truro Police Service)
Densmore's submission also noted that Wortman kept a handgun within arm's length — in his nightstand while he slept and with him when he travelled. The tipster said they saw Wortman's guns themselves.
"Mr. [Wortman] may also be in possession of several long rifles located at his cottage located at [address redacted]; these firearms are stored in a compartment located behind the flue," Densmore's submission stated.
Officer urged caution when dealing with Wortman
Densmore indicated that he was disseminating the tip to warn any officers that might come into contact with Wortman.
"This information is from an uncoded and unproven source but had to be fanned out for officer safety just in case, so if any officers [have] dealings with Mr Wortman, they should use caution," Densmore wrote in a May 3, 2011, email to a redacted RCMP email address, according to the documents obtained by CBC News.
The email correspondence included discussion of the vehicles Wortman drove between Dartmouth and Portapique. The records say Wortman had six plated vehicles registered in his name at that time, and one unplated vehicle.
MacNeil, who now sits on the executive of the Criminal Intelligence Service Nova Scotia, said officer safety bulletins like the one Densmore submitted are rare — only a few are sent per year, usually when it's thought that someone has the means, motive and desire to cause harm to an officer.
Typically, when Truro Police receive that type of information pertaining to their coverage area, the force would treat it like a tip from Crime Stoppers and act on it, MacNeil said.
"We would open an investigation. We would open a file on it, we would assign an investigator and we would try to determine the validity of the information with an eye to criminal charges if they're warranted at the end of the day," he said.

Because the tip about Wortman didn't fall into Truro's coverage area, he said, his police force's involvement ended after it was submitted. He couldn't comment on what other jurisdictions did with the information.
"We've never dealt with this gentleman. We've never investigated him other than we received this information from a member of the public, which our officer was, thankfully, engaged enough to say 'Hey, this is important. I'd better make note of it,'" he said.
But Clarke, the spokesperson for the Nova Scotia RCMP, said while the bulletin's contents were "concerning," RCMP often receive similar bulletins about people from other jurisdictions or who might be passing through theirs.
"This incident is massive, and it's going to take a lot of analysis to determine what, if anything, we can learn, how we can change, and I don't know that any of that is being discussed right now," Clarke said.
"Right now we're focused on the investigation and ensuring that the families are kept apprised of what's happening as the investigation develops."

Inside the ER: How a Truro hospital responded to a mass shooting during a pandemic
'Because we care so much about those we serve, it was particularly painful,' says doctor
It was Saturday, April 18, just after 11 p.m., when the emergency physician got the call. There had been a shooting in nearby Portapique, N.S. There were multiple victims.
"As soon as we got the initial notification that we might be receiving patients, we jumped into action," she said.
Sommers is the chief of the emergency department at the Colchester East Hants Health Centre, the hospital in Truro. It was one of four health centres locked down during the Nova Scotia shooting rampage that would leave 22 victims dead.
Sommers said staff are heartbroken, but their work responding to the fallout of that night is far from over.
Hospital staff have been reluctant to talk about what happened. Sommers said staff think their efforts pale in comparison to the hard work of RCMP members, Emergency Health Services and other first responders who were out in the field.
"We just want to acknowledge the sacrifices they have made," she said.

months. (Dave Laughlin/CBC)
Inside the hospital, those on duty found themselves in a remarkable position. They were dealing with a shooting and a pandemic at the same time.
Just last year, Truro emergency staff held a training exercise on handling a mass shooting.
"I never thought I would be using the knowledge gained in that exercise." Sommers said.
A quiet night at first
By chance, some aspects of the double crisis worked in their favour.
There were three physicians on staff instead of the usual two because of COVID-19. There were about a dozen nurses in the department. The hospital was quiet, and it was a rare night with some empty beds.
The team called in a radiologist and surgeon. Employees from other parts of the hospital came to take on the emergency patients who were not connected to the shootings.
Truro police officers came to guard the doors.
"We're a very close-knit hospital," said Sommers. "People were eager to help."
The Nova Scotia Health Authority won't say how many victims were taken to each site.
In smaller locations, the fear is even the smallest detail could identify any patients, said Sommers. All she will say, is that they didn't treat as many people as they expected.
"I'm not sure I can describe the stillness of an emergency department that's waiting to receive victims that don't come. It got emotional for sure."
Sommers is from Truro and has been in the emergency department for 13 years. She said while they've dealt with major emergencies before, including the 1998 Swiss Air crash that killed 229 people in waters near Peggys Cove, this one is the hardest.
This act was intentional. Every employee has been affected by a loss.
"Because we care so much about those we serve, it was particularly painful," Sommers said. "I don't think any of us ever imagined that something like this would happen in our beautiful town."
Past trauma
While the immediate crisis has ended, staff have seen patients in the emergency department who are traumatized. They expect that to continue for months.
Sommers urged people to reach out if they needed help or to call the provincial mobile crisis line.
"We are prepared for what is going to come through our door," she said. "Despite being heartbroken about what's happened, we're here to serve the community in whatever way we can."
Sommers said support has also been offered to her team.
"Some days are better than others for each of us," she said.
"We have received condolences and messages of support from hospitals across the Maritimes and even across Canada. We would just like to say thank you for the support, it makes a big difference."

https://adamrodgers.ca/2022/04/25/book-and-book-launch-review-22-murders-by-paul-palango/
I attended the launch event for Paul Palango’s book on the NS Mass Shooting, entitled ’22 Murders’. The launch was held at the Old Triangle in downtown Halifax, the pub to which the statue of Joseph Howe points from it’s perch at Province House. Any journalist would be proud to be associated with Mr. Howe, and Palango is just such a fearless journalist that would have fit Howe’s hopes for the future.
There was a good crowd for the launch, including many people who were previously known to me more by their usernames. Jordan Bonaparte, from Nighttime Podcast was there, as was Andrew Douglas from Frank Magazine. Many from the Portapique and Onslow-Belmont areas were on hand as well. Palango did not read extensively from the book, instead choosing to highlight a certain passage and then invite the subject of the note to come up to speak.
This was my first opportunity to meet Palango in person. I have had a few chances to talk with him on the phone, and before that had taken in several of his podcast appearances on The Nighttime Podcast with Jordan Bonaparte. I have also kept up on his journalism since the early days after Gabriel Wortman’s killing spree. His reporting has been invaluable for me as an analyst, being detailed and specific about what he has been able to discover, and being unafraid to venture into potentially sensitive material.
Knowing that I was going to be attending the launch, I finished the book itself a few days ahead of time, so I would have a chance to digest and reflect on what it contained, and of course so as to be able to converse about it at the event. Palango’s writing style is very engaging, drawing you into the story from a first-person narrative perspective. It follows the author’s own discovery journey to the facts, and also the perspectives of those he has interviewed, all of which helps give the reader a sense of how difficult it is to get straight answers from the RCMP. In that sense, it is also a good guide for those interested in pursuing journalism as a potential career option.
Many of the details Palango was able to uncover come from civic-minded, sometimes anonymous sources, including some within the RCMP itself. Those familiar with his reporting will already know this, but in the book the background and context to those revelations are fleshed out in greater detail, building a strong circumstantial case around various RCMP coverups. He does not force conclusions upon the reader, but rather gives enough information so as to allow the reader to form their own.
Palango self-identifies his journalistic style as being an incrementalist, building a story over time, rather than presuming the first look is complete or accurate. He is always trying to say something new to move a story along, but to also write in such a way as to invite the readers to add to the story as well with information they may have, and which they might be inclined to provide to him. Throughout the book, there are examples of this methodology being effective.
The book was written before the Mass Casualty Commission proceedings began, and yet Palango has many of the details laid out with precision and accuracy in the book, which were otherwise unreported prior to the proceedings. Unlike the MCC (so far at least) Palango then also tests various hypotheses against the known facts, and works out some plausible (and as yet unrefuted) theories of what went wrong. His analysis is all the more useful and compelling, given his background knowledge of how policing operates in Canada. Included in the book are some histories of some of the leading RCMP supervisors in Nova Scotia, and what brought them all here.
There is much to recommend about the book. It is written with an appropriate level of cynical awareness of how institutions like the RCMP market themselves to the public, while not venturing into conspiracy-mindedness. At the same time, if a theory fits the known facts, Palango is not afraid to express it.
There were some brave people involved in putting this together, and their efforts have certainly been of great benefit to me as I do my legal analysis work through The Rodgers Brief. They are also of great benefit to the public in helping us all understand what took place, what went wrong, and what kind of things need to change. I highly recommend the book, and hope to see more great work from Paul and his team of citizen-journalists.

'The nicest people': Daughter remembers father, stepmom killed in N.S. rampage
'They would have done anything for anybody and not thought twice about it,' says Taylor Andrews
The McLeod and Jenkins household in West Wentworth, N.S., was known for two things: fun and laughter.
Whether it was huddling inside with friends in the winter or jumping from the backyard into the Wallace River in the summer, the property was always alive with people.
"They had the house everybody always wanted to be at," Taylor Andrews told CBC's Mainstreet. "They loved having a full house, everybody was always welcome to stay there."
Andrews is the daughter of Sean McLeod. Over the weekend, he and his partner, Alanna Jenkins, died in one of the largest mass killings in Canadian history.
Andrews said they were warm, caring people, with a long list of family and friends who loved them.
One of those people was Josh Jenkins, Alanna's brother.

Canadian Press)
"They were the best. Alanna was my big sister and best friend. I couldn't have picked a better partner for her in Sean. He was my brother and my friend, these two will be so deeply missed by all of us," Josh Jenkins wrote in a message to CBC News.
He said his family is having a tough time dealing with the loss.
"She was a beautiful human," he said.
Both McLeod and Jenkins worked hard to have an open and inviting home.
'My friends loved them'
Andrews and her friends would often head out to the house and spend the day with McLeod and Jenkins.
"We would go tubing in the backyard right off their property and they loved when I brought my friends out," said Andrews. "My friends loved them."
This time last year, McLeod and Jenkins took Andrews, her husband and their small child on a trip to Florida. It's a memory that Andrews cherishes.
"I'm so glad we got to do that with them," she said.
The couple also loved doting on Andrews' soon-to-be two-year-old daughter — she was supposed to be visiting them on Saturday night, but didn't end up going over.
WATCH | Tributes to the heroes and victims killed in Nova Scotia rampage:
In his obituary, McLeod, 44, was remembered as the backbone of the family who enjoyed hunting in the woods, floating on the river and "Saturday night hoedowns."
McLeod was a proud member of the Cobequid Education Centre rugby team and the Truro Saints Rugby Cub where his daughter continued his passion for the game.
"Sean always had a smile on his face. We will miss him forever and a day," it reads.
Jenkins is remembered as "the light of our life that never stopped shining."
The 36-year-old is described in her obituary as a beautiful, strong, warm and loving soul who "lit up a room whenever she walked into it."
It says she and her husband loved hosting family events, cooking together for everyone and celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas.
"If you were lucky to be her friend, you knew she always had your back. Together she and Sean lived life to the fullest," her obituary reads.
Their two Labrador retrievers, Bama and Remi, were also killed with them.
'They would have done anything for anybody'
McLeod and Jenkins were both Corrections Canada employees. McLeod worked at the federal prison in Springhill, N.S., and Jenkins worked at the Nova Institution for Women in Truro, N.S.
In an email, Corrections Canada said both were correctional managers "who carried out their responsibilities with the highest level of integrity and professionalism."
Public Safety Minister Bill Blair said in a news release the couple "would be remembered for their commitment to public safety," and they would be greatly missed by co-workers, family and friends.
"They would have done anything for anybody and not thought twice about it," said Andrews.
"They were the nicest people I know."
WATCH | Cartoonist pays tribute to fallen Nova Scotia RCMP officer:
McLeod's obituary says he attended Holland College, eventually becoming a skilled crisis negotiator before starting his 23-year career at Springhill.
"As a past founder of the Union of Canadian Correctional Officers, he was Springhill's first local president and said to always have the health and safety of all members in mind," it reads.
"Although Sean had a great career with CSC, he was counting down the days until retirement and looked forward to a house full of grandbabies and loved ones."
Jenkins's obituary says she worked at Nova Institute for 15 years and was, by all accounts, "very good at her job" and was well respected.

MCC Day 27 – Participants’ Boycott Continues, and Local District
Commander Testifies (by Video)

The Mass Casualty Proceedings continued today from Truro, with
testimony from Staff Sgt. Al Carroll, who was the District Commander
for Colchester County at the time of the shootings. Outside of the
facility where the proceedings were taking place, family members and
supporters were protesting the Commission’s decision-making on witness
accommodation requests for RCMP supervisors. This was day two of the
boycott of proceedings by many of the family participants. Some were
protesting outside of the proceedings venue, calling for changes to
the Commission procedures to allow more fulsome participation (and
specifically cross-examination) by participants and their lawyers.
Staff Sgt. Carroll, along with two other staff sergeants (none of whom
had direct experience with violence or exposure to scenes of violence
during the events of the mass casualty) have been given permission to
testify by video, with limits on cross-examination. Those protesting
are justified in their criticisms of the Commission’s approach.
Today’s testimony was a good demonstration of why the accommodation
requests need not have been granted. Staff Sgt. Carroll testified for
3 ½ hours in the morning, then another hour in the afternoon, with no
unscheduled breaks being requested by him, and he displayed no obvious
signs of discomfort, nor certainly trauma. He displayed little emotion
of any kind, or much energy, in his answers. The National Police
Federation has requested accommodations previously for lower ranking
officers. These had been rejected, and the officers thereafter also
testified with no obvious signs of discomfort or trauma. All of this
serves to undermine the credibility of both the NPF and the
Commission.

If you are inquiring about Canada’s commitment to welcome vulnerable
Afghan refugees, you can find more information on Canada’s response to
the situation in Afghanistan
here<https://www.canada.ca/en/
The Government of Canada remains firm in its commitment to welcome
Afghan refugees to Canada, and will be working to increase the number
of eligible refugees to 40,000. This will be done through 2 programs:
1. A special immigration program for Afghan nationals, and their
families, who assisted the Government of Canada.
You don’t need to currently be in Afghanistan or return to Afghanistan
to be eligible or to have your application processed once you’re able
to apply.
Find out more about this special immigration
program<https://www.canada.ca/
2. A special humanitarian program focused on resettling Afghan
nationals who
· are outside of Afghanistan
· don’t have a durable solution in a third country
· are part of one of the following groups:
· women leaders
· human rights
advocates<https://www.canada.

Getting dirty palm oil out of Canadian dairy requires federal action
By Shane Moffatt | Opinion | March 12th 2021
Think global, act local
We clearly need a new vision for the food we consume — one that
prioritizes resilience, accessibility, transparency and ecology. We
have the right to know where our food comes from, who produced it and
how it affects the planet. Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau
has a mandate that talks about fighting climate change, stopping
biodiversity loss and building resilience, but there is clearly some
internal resistance to change.

Tilly Pillay is not in her office this week and things went as far as
they always do whenever I call or email her very questionable Law
Society Here hoping Adam Rodgers finally acts with some semblance of
Integrity. However after all this time I am not betting on it.

>> David Raymond Amos Versus The Crown T-1557-15
>>
>> 81. The Plaintiff states that matters of harassment that the police
>> refuse to investigate would have entered the realm of ridiculous in
>> 2012 if the reasons behind the suicides of teenagers did not become
>> well known by the corporate media. In the summer of 2012 a new member
>> of the FPS who as a former member of the EPS had inspired a lawsuit
>> for beating a client in Edmonton called the Plaintiff and accused him
>> of something he could not do even if he wanted to while he was arguing
>> many lawyers byway of emails about a matter concerning cyber stalking
>> that was before the SCC. The member of the FPF accused the Plaintiff
>> of calling the boss of Bullying Canada thirty times. At that time his
>> MagicJack account had been hacked and although he could receive
>> incoming calls, the Plaintiff could not call out to anyone. The
>> Plaintiff freely sent the FPF his telephone logs sourced from
>> MagicJack after his account restored without the Crown having to issue
>> a warrant to see his telephone records. He asked the FPF and the RCMP
>> where did the records of his phone calls to and from the FPF and the
>> RCMP go if his account had not been hacked. The police never
>> responded. Years later a Troll sent Dean Roger Ray a message through
>> YouTube providing info about the Plaintiff’s MagicJack account with
>> the correct password. Dean Roger Ray promptly posted two videos in
>> YouTube clearly displaying the blatant violation of privacy likely to
>> protect himself from the crime. The Plaintiff quickly pointed out the
>> videos to the RCMP and they refused to investigate as usual. At about
>> the same point in time the Plaintiff noticed that the CBC had
>> published a record of a access to information requests. On the list of
>> requests he saw his name along with several employees of CBC and the
>> boss of Bullying Canada. The Plaintiff called the CBC to make
>> inquiries about what he saw published on the Internet. CBC told him it

>>
>> The Canadian Government or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have

>> Afghanistan was the source of logistical support, command and control,

After the mass murders of April 2020, Truro police chief Dave MacNeil stood up to RCMP “fixers”
Morning File, Friday, May 13, 2022
News
1. Truro police chief stood up to RCMP “fixers”

Truro police chief Dave MacNeil’s August 3, 2021 interview with Mass Casualty Commission investigators has been published.
MacNeil explained that Truro police were not kept in the loop about the unfolding mass murders of April 18/19, 2020.
But at about midnight, the Colchester East Hants Medical Centre called the Truro police to say they were treating a man who had been shot in Portapique — this was Andrew MacDonald. Sergeant Rick Hickox, who was on duty, sent a couple of officers to the hospital to help with a lockdown.
At around 12:55am, RCMP notified Truro police that there was an active shooter situation in Portapique, but gave no details.
At around 8:30am Sunday morning, April 19, MacNeil was home, out working in his yard, when Hickox texted to say there were five people killed in Portapique. But that information didn’t come from the RCMP — “he said it’s on social media kind of thing,” said MacNeil. “I had no official notice from anybody other than that.”
Truro Police Inspector Darren Smith, working on limited information, called in extra officers to work at the hospital and to warn people on the streets — “[Smith] told everybody that was in, get in the cars, start telling people if you see them walking their dog or head back home, there’s an incident unfolding in the county.” Most businesses were closed because of the COVID lockdown, but officers called the WalMart and other open businesses to alert them. “We didn’t have a lot of information, but he wanted to do something proactive,” said MacNeil.
MacNeil emailed RCMP Chief Superintendent Chris Leather and Assistant Commissioner Lee Bergerman to offer the assistance of Truro police, but he didn’t hear back immediately.
Leather emailed back at about 10am and said “thank you for the offer, looks like we have the suspect pinned down in Wentworth.” In the days after the murders, it was clear that Leather had a poor understanding of the geography of the murders; presumably, in that email, he was referring to the RCMP response at the Fishers’ house in Glenholme.
“So from there, the decisions I made the rest of the day were based on that email that they had some suspect in Wentworth,” said MacNeil.
But MacNeil’s daughter had seen a post on social media about gunfire at the Onslow fire hall, which isn’t far from Truro, so he decided to go into work.
Commission investigators told MacNeil there was a communication from RCMP Staff Sergeant Aaron MacGillivray at 10:15am “to request Truro PD to close all access points to their town in case suspect heads there.” It’s not clear who MacGillivray made the request to, but MacNeil said Truro Police weren’t notified of the request by RCMP dispatch until 10:37am. In the interim — from 10:16-10:19am — the killer had driven right through the main streets of Truro in the fake police car. By 10:37, he had already killed Heidi Stevenson and Joey Webber in Shubenacadie.
(MacNeil didn’t learn that the killer had driven through Truro until July 28 — more than three months after the murders — when it was reported on the TV news. The RCMP had collected videos of the fake police car from businesses in Truro without telling Truro police, and didn’t even give Truro police a “heads up” that the video clips were being made public.)
MacNeil said the request to lock down was vague, providing no details, and besides, he soon started receiving information that the killer was elsewhere.
At 10:59, Truro police were told the killer was in Milford, but then at 11:12 the call came in saying a man with a gun had been spotted at the Truro Sobeys. This made no sense to MacNeil, but MacNeil dispatched officers to Sobeys. (I very much want to know who made the 911 call about Sobeys — it confused and distracted the police response in the final hour of the rampage.)
By 11:29, MacNeil was told the suspect was killed in Enfield.
“I think the community has a lot of questions,” said MacNeil. “And I know the families have a lot of questions. And as a police leader in Nova Scotia, we have an obligation to do better. And I don’t know if this tragedy happened today if it would be any different, to be quite honest; in an RCMP policed area, that’s my honest to God take on it. I think the relationship between the police and the RCMP in Nova Scotia is worse than —from this incident than it’s even been.”
“A change in the leadership at the RCMP provincial level is a big part of it,” continued MacNeil. “The relationship is not good, and it never has been this bad. Like, this is rock bottom. I’ve never seen it this bad, and it doesn’t show any signs of getting better. I know Lee Bergerman has announced her retirement. We’ll see who her replacement may be. Maybe that’s a breath of fresh air. I don’t know.”
Bergerman took the position of commanding officer of the Nova Scotia RCMP in 2018, and retired in October 2021.
Internal review versus inquiry
After the murders, an internal review of the mass murders was proposed.
“Minister of Justice Mark Furey… wanted all the police chiefs of Nova Scotia to sign this document saying we support the review, no matter where they are,” said MacNeil. So Cape Breton regional chief, Annapolis Royal, the other end of the province, didn’t matter, he wanted all the police chiefs to sign on like good soldiers and say, hey, we support this review, which we didn’t.”
MacNeil refused to sign the letter. “I felt it was a mis-justice to the families and to the communities that wanted answers. And a lot of people thought it was a coverup.”
MacNeil agreed with victims’ families that there should be a full public inquiry.
Police bulletin warning about the killer
MacNeil did not know that there was a police bulletin his department had generated in 2011 naming the killer as someone who might kill police. That bulletin was rediscovered during the mass murder spree by an Amherst town cop with a great memory, who recalled the killer’s name so went through his old emails and found the old bulletin. That cop then sent the bulletin to the RCMP. Truro police reviewed their files and found the bulletin.
The CBC filed a freedom of information request with the Truro police for all documents related to the killer, and the town’s lawyer said the old bulletin had to be released. But then MacNeil received a request for a phone call with RCMP Superintendent Chris Leather and RCMP Halifax District Superintendent Janice Gray. MacNeil knew the call was about the bulletin, so brought his deputy chief in on the call.
“The gist of the call,” said MacNeil, “was, you know, you’re aware of the bulletin. Yeah. You know this is going to be FOIPOP’d? Yeah, it is. And it’s going to go out? Yeah, it is. And it’s potentially going to cause some problems, and I said, no, not for us. So anyway, we had this discussion and the RCMP wanted to come and have a look at our records and our holding and bring in an investigative triangle, and all that stuff. So right away, the deputy and I got a little hinky on that and said, no that’s not happening.”
“So I think they realized that it was going to get out,” continued MacNeil. “During this whole process, they brought in people from Ottawa, superintendents, and they were called the Issues Management Team. And that really offended me, too, that they took this tragedy and defined it as an issue. Right. So they have these two guys from Ottawa, their whole job in this is called Issues Management. So they’re basically here as the fixers. How can I shut these Nova Scotians up?”
“They had a whole package done on this,” said MacNeil. “And Amherst Police Chief Pike, myself, and Chief Kinsella from Halifax were brought into this because all our officers, all our agencies were somewhat involved. Halifax because the guy’s address was Dartmouth, us because we created the bulletin, and Amherst because they still had the bulletin. And it became to me about a blame game. Like, what did you do, Truro, to investigate this? And I’m thinking, no, no, you’re not going down that road with me. And then Dan Kinsella, what did Halifax do? And then Amherst, how did you have this bulletin, and why is it still alive?… It became very clear that this is how do I take this bull’s eye and put it on three agencies.”
MacNeil was asked to take part in an RCMP press conference related to the bulletin, but “I said no, this badge isn’t going on TV to talk about the bulletin because it has nothing to do with us.”
“It became very, very clear to the three chiefs that this was about how do I move the narrative and put it on somebody else.”
MacNeil said he felt the RCMP wanted him to make the bulletin “go away.”
“It’s not the way I do things,” said MacNeil. “This is not ethically and morally correct. I could say this, but you know, I don’t lie. I mean, it is here, it’s here. It’s a document we have in our possession, whether we think we should have purged it or not, irrelevant. We have it, and we have a duty to disclose it. And I was upfront with them… and the vibe I got was nudge nudge a little brother, we’re going to put a little heat on you until it goes away.”
MacNeil refused to budge.

Dwayne Pike named Amherst’s police chief
Dwayne Pike, a 23-year member of the Amherst Police Department who has been acting as chief for nine months, is the town’s new police chief.
“Chief Pike’s extensive education, policing experience and demonstrated leadership abilities, as well as his intimate knowledge of the town, make him very well suited for the position,” Mayor David Kogon said on March 25, moments after Amherst town council confirmed Pike’s appointment.
“We are so pleased to be able to make this appointment from within. This speaks to the quality of the officers and staff who work at the Amherst Police Department and confidence that we as council have in them.
“I have every confidence he will be an excellent leader of our police
department. All members of council look forward to working with Chief
Pike as he takes on this new
role.”
CAO Greg Herrett agreed with the mayor.
“Chief Pike has shown through his more than two decades with the town police force that he is a true leader, one who will be able to guide the department well in the years to come,” Herrett said. “I know that I, the members of the police department and all town staff look forward to working with him.”
The Amherst Board of Police Commissioners “fully supports” Pike’s appointment, Paul Calder, board chairman, said.
“Dwayne has shown himself to be a forward-thinking individual who brings strong leadership to the department and shows great faith in the members under his command,” Calder said. “He is committed to the Amherst Police Department membership and to the citizens of the Town of Amherst.
“He is able to work effectively with his partners in policing and justice overall. We are indeed fortunate to be able to promote an individual from within the department who brings these strengths to the position.”
A graduate of the Atlantic Police Academy in 1995, Pike joined the Amherst Police Department as a constable in 1996. In January 2008, he became a detective and joined the major crime unit. A promotion to sergeant occurred in January 2010. Four years later, he was promoted to deputy chief. He became acting-chief with the retirement of Ian Nayor last summer.
“Being named chief means a lot to me, especially where my whole career has been here,” Pike said. “I’m proud to say this is where I learned everything I know about policing for the most part. A lot of people that I’ve worked with over the years really had a hand in getting me to where I am today.”
He praised the officers and staff who make up the Amherst Police department.
“I have an excellent team because they are always looking at what needs to be changed, are expecting those changes to come and have the vision to see policing in the future and what this town needs.”
That look to the future is necessary because “change is life now,” Pike said. “Things are no longer the same as they were five years ago, 10 years ago, 20 years ago. You always have to be looking at the horizon to see what is going to change and how do we have to adapt to that change to make sure we can provide the services the town needs and serve the community properly.”
As he takes over the town’s top police job, Pike said there are many challenges, including the cost of policing because trying to provide an efficient service that is fiscally responsible and can be paid for is “a huge challenge.”
Another challenge is ensuring members of the department are provided with proper assistance when dealing with traumatic incidents or stress-related injuries, he said.
It’s also important for his members to have the training and for the department to build partnerships with other organizations in order to ensure officers responding to incidents involving people with mental-health challenges can ensure the well-being of the person as well as the safety of the town, he added.
Another challenge is being created by changing demographics, the chief said, adding the department must be aware of the change in order to ensure the entire community is well served by its police force.
Pike said he is proud to work in Amherst.
“I came here over 20 years ago not knowing exactly what it was going to be like, but this town and community have been very, very good to me. Now it’s my chance to pay it back.”

> Dear David Amos
>
> MLA Weekly Update
>
> Date Monday June 28th, 2021
>
> My Mission is to:
>
> Serve the people
> Build Unity & Trust
> Influence Legislation & public policy
> For the greater good.
> Educate and Build Capacity
> Promote the people and area,
> Build a world-class health care system
> And improve population health.
>
> Before I speak about what happened last week in politics I want to say
> Congratulations to all the graduates of Cumberland North. It is a very
> special time in the lives of graduates and their families. Education
> is so important. I hope they embrace life- long learning. Learning
> keeps you in a positive space and open doors of opportunity. Hoping
> for a safe week as well for our graduates.
>
> I also want to recognize the pain our country is experiencing as more
> and more bodies of children are being found in unmarked graves
> throughout our country. As more and more us come to learn the history
> and the practices, our hearts break for the Indigenous people whose
> families were broken. Healing is needed and time for reflection as a
> country will bring us forward stronger as a Nation; as a People.
>
> Last week in Politics:
>
> I have had many questions and I would like to take some time to walk
> through a timeline of what happened.
>
> Anyone that listens/reads my weekly MLA update on a regular basis
> knows the ongoing challenges people face due to the restrictions at
> the NS NB Border since the State of Emergency was declared on March
> 22nd, 2020.
>
> For the last 15 months there has been much hardship and stress on
> people living in our border community. Yes, it has been hard on
> everyone, but exponentially greater on the people and the businesses
> in Cumberland. Much greater.
>
> The local frustration has been escalating and over the past few weeks
> as Covid cases have been low in NB and NS but border restrictions
> remained unchanged. While all Nova Scotians could travel freely
> with no restrictions, the people in Cumberland were still being denied
> the right to see their families, full access to health care services
> and businesses such as retail and tourism are locked from their
> customers.
>
>
> On June 11th Premier Higgs had included Cumberland County in NB
> reopening plan for their Phase 1.
>
> Nova Scotia Premier refused to allow Cumberland to join as a bubble.
> Neighbouring Green Party MLA Megan Mitton and I had been asking since
> last November for this. People were devastated when Premier Rankin
> refused to allow this. I spoke with Rankin personally and emphasized
> the need for this.
>
> On June 15th Premier Iain Rankin moves the opening date for the
> Atlantic bubble up a week to June 23rd from his previous plan.
>
> After June 15th: Iain Rankin signs-off on a massive $18 million
> marketing campaign to incent tourists from Atlantic Canada (mostly NB)
> to book a trip to NS. Families planned for reunion with families for
> June 23rd (last Wednesday), for they have been separated since
> November 20th, nearly 7 months, many often living 10 minutes
> apart.
>
> June 22nd at 2pm Premier Iain Rankin kicks New Brunswick out of the
> bubble the day before it is scheduled to open without even a courtesy
> call and adds new complicated NS NB Border rules.
>
> Premier Rankin slapped the people here in the face at the 11th hour,
> once again using the border and the people here as his political
> pawns. The news spread quickly. I immediately I started getting
> messages from angry irate constituents saying enough was enough and
> they were going to shut down the highway. I knew the Premier was doing
> his press conference at 3pm. I thought long and hard for 30 minutes.
>
> I decided I needed to take a stand for the people and at 2:55pm did a
> facebook live video telling the Premier what was going to happen if he
> did not backtrack on his flip flop decision to once again stop
> families from seeing one another. I believed he should know what was
> going to happen and give him a chance to make it right. I was angry
> when I did the video. I was indignant for the people whom Premier
> Rankin is using as his political pawns.
>
> I made a decision to stand with the people I represent and I have no
> regrets.
>
> I went to the protest which was forming at exit 7. The protest was
> there, 30 minutes away from NS NB Border.
>
> RCMP were onsite and I stayed in constant communication with them to
> keep things peaceful.
>
> The RCMP officer clearly told me that this was a legal peaceful
> protest and they would not shut it down and they were there to ensure
> public safety.
>
> A large number of people showed up to protest. A lot of families,
> including children.
> What an education they got that day. The right to peaceful protest is
> part of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. We even had a
> veteran Lorne Baird whom we honoured by clapping after he shared his
> thoughts. We had a speaker and microphone and gave everyone who wanted
> an opportunity to speak and share why they were there in
> protest.
>
> RCMP and protestors did allow vehicles through that had children or
> anyone with medical needs. The RCMP also rerouted traffic around exit
> 7.
>
> During the protest I called Premier Rankin several times and he
> refused to respond.
>
> As time went on, it became evident that he was not going to listen to
> the needs of our families.
>
> RCMP and I spoke and I asked the crowd if they would end the protest.
> I gave them a commitment that I would travel to Halifax in the morning
> and request and urgent meeting with the Premier. Almost all people
> agreed and dispersed. A few people remained and kept one side of the
> highway closed. The RCMP stayed with them as I left.
>
> The next morning I got up and travelled to Halifax.
>
> I heard that there was another group protesting at the NS NB Border
> and the highway was closed with no possible rerouting of traffic. The
> group leading this closure had been at the other protest and when it
> ended went to the border. They had been meeting every Sunday for the
> last 8 weeks at the border protesting and had closed down the highway
> on at least one occasion. I arrived at One Government Place and was
> told by the Commissioners that I was not allowed entry into the
> building. This was a shock to me as MLA’s we are normally
> entry to this building to both have access to the Speaker’s
> Office, Protocol and Premier’s office. So I waited outside the
> building hoping for an appointment. I soon found out that the Premier
> has left and was in Chester campaigning. While protesters had the NS
> NB blocked the Premier was ignoring this situation and making funding
> announcements on the other end of the province. I waited all day. No
> meeting. The Minister of Health did call me and asked me to call the
> protesters off but I explained to him the protesters were there on the
> own free will and not mine. I had called on them twice earlier in the
> day to open the highway and even spoke with some on the phone with
> RCMP asking for them to open the TCH and they refused. All morning I
> received messages and calls of support from various people including
> my colleagues.
>
> Then a few things happened which turned public opinion. The Premier
> made a negative statement against me and additional protesters from NB
> joined the blockade who were anti-vaxxers. Although I was not there
> physically, it appears as though the antivaxxers took over the
> protest. The media connected me with both the legal peaceful protest
> at exit 7 the night before and the illegal blockade that happened on
> Wednesday with the anti-vaxxers. Even though I was not connected, the
> leader of the PC demanded that I sign a public apology taking full
> responsibility for the blockade on Wednesday. I refused to do so. I
> will not accept responsibility for others decisions. The leader of the
> PC Party made a decision Thursday before noon to remove me from the
> party. I was devastated by his decision. I remain a member of the PC
> Party and believe in the mission and values of the progressive
> Conservative party. The PC party is part of my extended family
> throughout the province of Nova Scotia. That doesn’t change
> because one person isn’t willing to stand with me for what is
> right for the people I was elected to represent. If I signed a fake
> apology to appease the leader I would have compromised my own
> integrity and would not have stayed true to the people in Cumberland.
> How could I sign this in Halifax and then come home and hide myself in
> shame? No, I will come home and stand proudly with the people I
> represent, shoulder to shoulder.
>
> The number one question I’ve been getting is: “Elizabeth,
> how are you doing?”
>
> Believe it or not, more than anything, I feel grateful:
>
> - to the people of Cumberland North for all the supportive messages
> you have sent my way
> - to my husband of 30 years Dr. Murray McCrossin for his love and
> patience (As you may have seen, we celebrated our anniversary last
> weekend!)
> - to my children, my brothers, sisters, extended family, my friends
> and my supporters – inside and outside the constituency
> - to my constituency staff, Dan and Gladys
> - to my Cumberland North campaign team
>
> When the going gets tough, you truly find out who you can count
> on. I will never forget who has been there for me.
>
> I have received a lot of calls, texts and emails, inside and outside
> of Cumberland North. I will do my best to get back to everyone
> and appreciate everyone’s patience.
>
> In politics, you can’t imagine how hard it is to say no to the
> party leader. Party leaders have a lot of power. If you
> don’t do what they want, they can try to make you pay the
> price. The people of Cumberland North didn’t elect me to
> work for a party leader. They elected me to work for them.
> The support of the people of Cumberland North this week has sustained
> me – particularly with some of the hateful, sexist comments and
> media depictions that targeted my mental health, my appearance or my
> weight.
>
> This farm girl turned registered nurse turned businesswoman is not
> going to be bullied out of politics. I will choose whether I run
> in the next election. The people of Cumberland North will choose
> the kind of MLA they want to serve them.
>
> Do they want an MLA who works for a party leader in Halifax or an MLA
> who works for the people of Cumberland North?
>
> To the people of Cumberland North, you can count on me to serve you,
> to work with you, to fight for you.
>
> No apologies. Although this has been extremely hard on my family and
> true friends, it is so because of the worry they have of the toll this
> may have on me. The love I have surrounding me is incredible, by them
> but also from my local community and from across the province. And
> yes, my caucus colleagues who supported the leader removing me from
> caucus, I have heard from several of them privately with love and
> support.
>
> Politics can bring out the worst in human nature as people compete for
> an illusion of power. But like anything, it can also bring out the
> best in human nature.
>
> I am discussing next steps with my husband and family. In the meantime
> I am still the MLA for the people of Cumberland North, I am an
> Independent and not affiliated with a political party although my
> heart is with my progressive conservative family.
>
> My focus right now is on serving the people of Cumberland North.
>
> I have always believed that Good overcomes Evil, that Love is more
> powerful than Hate and I will continue to believe this.
>
> I will continue to work with my colleague Tory Rushton for what is
> needed for the people of Cumberland.
>
> I am seriously giving running as an independent consideration. There
> are so many people that want me to run as an Independent that I owe it
> to them to give it consideration.
>
> The only people that will decide if I will be a MLA are the people of
> Cumberland North.
>
> I would like to send birthday and anniversary greetings to anyone who

>>>>> (and formerly Respondent)
>>>>> REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY THE COURT
>>>>>
>>>>> I. Introduction
>>>>>
>>>>> [1] On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr. Amos)
>>>>> filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court
>>>>> against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million
>>>>> in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and Provincial
>>>>> Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary
>>>>> properties and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public Safety
>>>>> that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian
>>>>> Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan
>>>>> (Claim at para. 96).
>>>>>
>>>>> [2] On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of a
>>>>> motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the
>>>>> Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to
>>>>> amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim
>>>>> disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious,
>>>>> and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the
>>>>> Prothontary’s Order).
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> [3] On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr.
>>>>> Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal
>>>>> Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr.
>>>>> Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages
>>>>> for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in
>>>>> 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> [4] Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the
>>>>> Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status
>>>>> Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19, 2016.
>>>>> As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s
>>>>> cross-appeal.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> II. Preliminary Matter
>>>>>
>>>>> [5] Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in
>>>>> relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March
>>>>> 6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two of
>>>>> the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this appeal.
>>>>> This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he believed
>>>>> had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this
>>>>> Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with
>>>>> several judges but did not name those judges.
>>>>>
>>>>> [6] Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to
>>>>> identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because he
>>>>> had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed
>>>>> with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the Federal
>>>>> Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed in
>>>>> the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based on
>>>>> subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985,
>>>>> c. F-7:
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> 5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her
>>>>> office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the
>>>>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court of
>>>>> Appeal.
>>>>> […]
>>>>>
>>>>> 5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour
>>>>> d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que
>>>>> les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale.
>>>>> […]
>>>>> 5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of
>>>>> that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the

>>>>> [9] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create
>>>>> two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court
>>>>> (section 4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the Federal
>>>>> Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there would no
>>>>> need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as required by
>>>>> Rules 343 to 345 of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 in relation

>>>>> appeal book.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> [10] Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed on
>>>>> March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in which
>>>>> Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a
>>>>> conflict in any matter related to him.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> [11] On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion
>>>>> before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying the
>>>>> conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the Federal
>>>>> Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that if
>>>>> Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the Federal
>>>>> Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court.
>>>>> Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this
>>>>> cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is not a motion before this
>>>>> Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court
>>>>> will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought
>>>>> before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in
>>>>> relation to that motion are not part of the record of this Court.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> [12] During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that
>>>>> the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest and
>>>>> submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of a
>>>>> conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also
>>>>> afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict
>>>>> that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in his
>>>>> view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several pages of
>>>>> documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the
>>>>> documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the particular
>>>>> judge and then, immediately following that biography, by including
>>>>> copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that
>>>>> such judge had a conflict.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> [13] The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is
>>>>> that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada in
>>>>> 2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before
>>>>> that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he
>>>>> had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law and
>>>>> therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a partner
>>>>> of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was
>>>>> personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in which Mr.
>>>>> Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that he
>>>>> was a member of such firm.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> [14] During his oral submissions at the hearing of his
>>>>> appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb,
>>>>> focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at
>>>>> Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos at
>>>>> the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this
>>>>> particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with this
>>>>> lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such dealings were
>>>>> after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the Tax
>>>>> Court of Canada over 10 years ago.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> [15] The documents that he submitted in relation to the
>>>>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings between
>>>>> Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of
>>>>> Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice Webb
>>>>> practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing between
>>>>> Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen May
>>>>> who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The
>>>>> affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of e-mails
>>>>> that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included a
>>>>> letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is John
>>>>> Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson
>>>>> Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to
>>>>> “John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street,
>>>>> Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a
>>>>> possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer.
>>>>> [16] Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice Webb
>>>>> was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In Wewaykum
>>>>> Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R.
>>>>> 259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a
>>>>> judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable
>>>>> apprehension of bias:
>>>>> 60 In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the
>>>>> criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de
>>>>> Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy
>>>>> Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the
>>>>> reasonable apprehension of bias:
>>>>> … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by
>>>>> reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the
>>>>> question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the words
>>>>> of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed person,
>>>>> viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having thought
>>>>> the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely
>>>>> than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or
>>>>> unconsciously, would not decide fairly."
>>>>>
>>>>> [17] The issue to be determined is whether an informed
>>>>> person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and having
>>>>> thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations
>>>>> give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has
>>>>> previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will
>>>>> administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be
>>>>> rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v.
>>>>> Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See
>>>>> also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R.

>>>>>
>>>>> [18] The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v.
>>>>> Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the Supreme
>>>>> Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the
>>>>> particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a
>>>>> case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was
>>>>> involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The Ontario
>>>>> Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the
>>>>> judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was a
>>>>> lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for
>>>>> determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the
>>>>> rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict:
>>>>> 27 Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a
>>>>> finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over
>>>>> which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement,
>>>>> as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> 28 The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been
>>>>> asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to
>>>>> the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from
>>>>> taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the
>>>>> defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial
>>>>> judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by the
>>>>> Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield
>>>>> Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that
>>>>> there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge
>>>>> and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances."
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> 29 It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an
>>>>> inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the
>>>>> different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of
>>>>> judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification
>>>>> of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of
>>>>> conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous
>>>>> involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J.
>>>>> in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.),
>>>>> for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying
>>>>> interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory
>>>>> statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential
>>>>> information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the
>>>>> opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge.
>>>>> His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and
>>>>> had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value
>>>>> unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> 30 That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances
>>>>> of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a
>>>>> disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there are
>>>>> two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not to
>>>>> recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept,
>>>>> that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and
>>>>> that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of
>>>>> time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85:
>>>>> To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform
>>>>> the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this
>>>>> involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor is
>>>>> the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on
>>>>> circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making,
>>>>> or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making.
>>>>> 31 There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson
>>>>> Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of
>>>>> trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had
>>>>> been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with
>>>>> his former firm for a considerable period of time.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> 32 In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter
>>>>> realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly
>>>>> and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because
>>>>> of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement
>>>>> in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage.
>>>>> In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the
>>>>> trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact that
>>>>> his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a
>>>>> decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he would
>>>>> either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former
>>>>> client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw
>>>>> off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour a
>>>>> client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six years
>>>>> earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving
>>>>> events from over a decade ago.
>>>>> (emphasis added)
>>>>>
>>>>> [19] Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter
>>>>> involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or
>>>>> Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made it
>>>>> clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the
>>>>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of
>>>>> Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for
>>>>> Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with
>>>>> Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have
>>>>> had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he
>>>>> was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any
>>>>> involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos had
>>>>> with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is
>>>>> sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since
>>>>> Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer would
>>>>> also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in Justice
>>>>> Webb hearing this appeal.
>>>>>
>>>>> [20] Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R.
>>>>> (2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal found that there was no
>>>>> reasonable apprehension of bias when a judge, who had been a member of
>>>>> the law firm that had been retained by the accused, had no involvement
>>>>> with the accused while he was a lawyer with that firm.
>>>>>
>>>>> [21] In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4
>>>>> F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a
>>>>> reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was a
>>>>> lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person who
>>>>> was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as
>>>>> Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files involving Mr.
>>>>> Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law.
>>>>>
>>>>> [22] Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD. He
>>>>> stated in his affidavit dated June 26, 2017 that there is a “true copy
>>>>> of an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this CD.
>>>>> He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the CD
>>>>> entitled 139 to many American and Canadian law enforcement authorities
>>>>> and not one of the police forces or officers of the court are willing
>>>>> to investigate it”. Since he has indicated that this is an “American
>>>>> police surveillance wiretap”, this is a matter for the American law
>>>>> enforcement authorities and cannot create, as Mr. Amos suggests, a
>>>>> conflict of interest for any judge to whom he provides a copy.
>>>>>
>>>>> [23] As a result, there is no conflict or reasonable
>>>>> apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason for him
>>>>> to recuse himself.
>>>>>
>>>>> [24] Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past professional
>>>>> experience with the government created a “quasi-conflict” in deciding
>>>>> the cross-appeal. Mr. Amos provided no details and Justice Near
>>>>> confirmed that he had no prior knowledge of the matters alleged in the
>>>>> Claim. Justice Near sees no reason to recuse himself.
>>>>>
>>>>> [25] Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for Mr.
>>>>> Amos’ allegations against Justice Gleason, it appears that he alleges
>>>>> that she is incapable of hearing this appeal because he says he wrote
>>>>> a letter to Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien in 2004. At that time,
>>>>> both Justice Gleason and Mr. Mulroney were partners in the law firm
>>>>> Ogilvy Renault, LLP. The letter in question, which is rude and angry,
>>>>> begins with “Hey you two Evil Old Smiling Bastards” and “Re: me suing
>>>>> you and your little dogs too”. There is no indication that the letter
>>>>> was ever responded to or that a law suit was ever commenced by Mr.
>>>>> Amos against Mr. Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no reason
>>>>> for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question does
>>>>> not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> III. Issue
>>>>>
>>>>> [26] The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the
>>>>> Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the Claim
>>>>> in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr.
>>>>> Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick
>>>>> legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action?
>>>>>
>>>>> IV. Analysis
>>>>>
>>>>> A. Standard of Review
>>>>>
>>>>> [27] Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the
>>>>> Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review to
>>>>> be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and decisions
>>>>> made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira
>>>>> Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215,
>>>>> 402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel of
>>>>> this Court replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that
>>>>> articulated in Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235
>>>>> [Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal
>>>>> Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by a
>>>>> prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of the
>>>>> case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal if
>>>>> the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding
>>>>> error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and
>>>>> law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only interfere with
>>>>> a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary order
>>>>> if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding error in
>>>>> determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law
>>>>> (Hospira at paras. 82-83).
>>>>>
>>>>> [28] In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own
>>>>> assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary. This Court
>>>>> must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the Judge
>>>>> erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing to
>>>>> interfere.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> B. Did the Judge err in interfering with the
>>>>> Prothonotary’s Order?
>>>>>
>>>>> [29] The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following
>>>>> paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking the
>>>>> Claim in its entirety without leave to amend:
>>>>>
>>>>> 17. Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the Plaintiff
>>>>> addresses his complaint in paragraphs 14-24, inclusive. All but four
>>>>> of those paragraphs are dedicated to an incident that occurred in 2006
>>>>> in and around the legislature in New Brunswick. The jurisdiction of
>>>>> the Federal Court does not extend to Her Majesty the Queen in right of
>>>>> the Provinces. In any event, the Plaintiff hasn’t named the Province
>>>>> or provincial actors as parties to this action. The incident alleged
>>>>> does not give rise to a justiciable cause of action in this Court.
>>>>> (…)
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> 21. The few paragraphs that directly address the Defendant
>>>>> provide no details as to the individuals involved or the location of
>>>>> the alleged incidents or other details sufficient to allow the
>>>>> Defendant to respond. As a result, it is difficult or impossible to
>>>>> determine the causes of action the Plaintiff is attempting to advance.
>>>>> A generous reading of the Statement of Claim allows the Defendant to
>>>>> only speculate as to the true and/or intended cause of action. At
>>>>> best, the Plaintiff’s action may possibly be summarized as: he
>>>>> suspects he is barred from the House of Commons.
>>>>> [footnotes omitted].
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> [30] The Judge determined that he could not strike the Claim
>>>>> on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The Judge noted
>>>>> that the Federal Court has jurisdiction over claims based on the
>>>>> liability of Federal Crown servants like the RCMP and that the actors
>>>>> who barred Mr. Amos from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004
>>>>> included the RCMP (Federal Court Judgment at para. 23). In considering
>>>>> the viability of these allegations de novo, the Judge identified
>>>>> paragraph 14 of the Claim as containing “some precision” as it
>>>>> identifies the date of the event and a RCMP officer acting as
>>>>> Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor (Federal Court Judgment at
>>>>> para. 27).
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> [31] The Judge noted that the 2004 event could support a
>>>>> cause of action in the tort of misfeasance in public office and
>>>>> identified the elements of the tort as excerpted from Meigs v. Canada,
>>>>> 2013 FC 389, 431 F.T.R. 111:
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> [13] As in both the cases of Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse, 2003 SCC
>>>>> 69 [Odhavji] and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must
>>>>> determine whether the plaintiffs’ statement of claim pleads each
>>>>> element of the alleged tort of misfeasance in public office:
>>>>>
>>>>> a) The public officer must have engaged in deliberate and unlawful
>>>>> conduct in his or her capacity as public officer;
>>>>>
>>>>> b) The public officer must have been aware both that his or her
>>>>> conduct was unlawful and that it was likely to harm the plaintiff; and
>>>>>
>>>>> c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the public
>>>>> officer and knowledge of harm alone is insufficient to conclude that a
>>>>> public officer acted in bad faith or dishonestly.
>>>>> Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28
>>>>> (Federal Court Judgment at para. 28).
>>>>>
>>>>> [32] The Judge determined that Mr. Amos disclosed sufficient
>>>>> material facts to meet the elements of the tort of misfeasance in
>>>>> public office because the actors, who barred him from the New
>>>>> Brunswick legislature in 2004, including the RCMP, did so for
>>>>> “political reasons” (Federal Court Judgment at para. 29).
>>>>>
>>>>> [33] This Court’s discussion of the sufficiency of pleadings
>>>>> in Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2010 FCA 184, 321
>>>>> D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt:
>>>>>
>>>>> …When pleading bad faith or abuse of power, it is not enough to
>>>>> assert, baldly, conclusory phrases such as “deliberately or
>>>>> negligently,” “callous disregard,” or “by fraud and theft did steal”.
>>>>> “The bare assertion of a conclusion upon which the court is called
>>>>> upon to pronounce is not an allegation of material fact”. Making bald,
>>>>> conclusory allegations without any evidentiary foundation is an abuse
>>>>> of process…
>>>>>
>>>>> To this, I would add that the tort of misfeasance in public office
>>>>> requires a particular state of mind of a public officer in carrying
>>>>> out the impunged action, i.e., deliberate conduct which the public
>>>>> officer knows to be inconsistent with the obligations of his or her
>>>>> office. For this tort, particularization of the allegations is
>>>>> mandatory. Rule 181 specifically requires particularization of
>>>>> allegations of “breach of trust,” “wilful default,” “state of mind of
>>>>> a person,” “malice” or “fraudulent intention.”
>>>>> (at paras. 34-35, citations omitted).
>>>>>
>>>>> [34] Applying the Housen standard of review to the
>>>>> Prothonotary’s Order, we are of the view that the Judge interfered
>>>>> absent a legal or palpable and overriding error.
>>>>>
>>>>> [35] The Prothonotary determined that Mr. Amos’ Claim
>>>>> disclosed no reasonable claim and was fundamentally vexatious on the
>>>>> basis of jurisdictional concerns and the absence of material facts to
>>>>> ground a cause of action. Paragraph 14 of the Claim, which addresses
>>>>> the 2004 event, pleads no material facts as to how the RCMP officer
>>>>> engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew that his or her
>>>>> conduct was unlawful and likely to harm Mr. Amos, and acted in bad
>>>>> faith. While the Claim alleges elsewhere that Mr. Amos was barred from
>>>>> the New Brunswick legislature for political and/or malicious reasons,
>>>>> these allegations are not particularized and are directed against
>>>>> non-federal actors, such as the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Legislative
>>>>> Assembly of New Brunswick and the Fredericton Police Force. As such,
>>>>> the Judge erred in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP
>>>>> barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of
>>>>> supporting a cause of action.
>>>>>
>>>>> [36] In our view, the Claim is made up entirely of bare
>>>>> allegations, devoid of any detail, such that it discloses no
>>>>> reasonable cause of action within the jurisdiction of the Federal
>>>>> Courts. Therefore, the Judge erred in interfering to set aside the
>>>>> Prothonotary’s Order striking the claim in its entirety. Further, we
>>>>> find that the Prothonotary made no error in denying leave to amend.
>>>>> The deficiencies in Mr. Amos’ pleadings are so extensive such that
>>>>> amendment could not cure them (see Collins at para. 26).
>>>>>
>>>>> V. Conclusion
>>>>> [37] For the foregoing reasons, we would allow the Crown’s
>>>>> cross-appeal, with costs, setting aside the Federal Court Judgment,

>> Threat against Burke taken seriously
>>
>> By STEPHEN LLEWELLYN
>> dgleg@nb.aibn.com
>> Published Thursday May 24th, 2007
>> Appeared on page A1
>> An RCMP security detail has been guarding Justice Minister and
>> Attorney General T.J. Burke because of threats made against him
>> recently.
>>
>> Burke, the Liberal MLA for Fredericton-Fort Nashwaaksis, wouldn't
>> explain the nature of the threats.
>>
>> "I have had a particular individual or individuals who have made
>> specific overtures about causing harm towards me," he told reporters
>> Wednesday.
>>
>> "The RCMP has provided security to me recently by accompanying me to a
>> couple of public functions where the individual is known to reside or
>> have family members in the area," said Burke. "It is nice to have some
>> added protection and that added comfort."
>>
>> The RCMP provides protection to the premier and MLAs with its VIP
>> security
>> unit.
>>
>> Burke didn't say when the threat was made but it's believed to have
>> been in recent weeks.
>>
>> "When a threat is posed to you and it is a credible threat, you have
>> to be cautious about where you go and who you are around," he said.
>> "But again, I am more concerned about my family as opposed to my own
>> personal safety."
>>
>> Burke said he doesn't feel any differently and he has not changed his
>> pattern of activity.
>>
>> "It doesn't bother me one bit," he said. "It makes my wife feel awful
>> nervous."
>>
>> Burke served in an elite American military unit before becoming a
>> lawyer and going into politics in New Brunswick.
>>
>> "(I) have taken my own precautions and what I have to do to ensure my
>> family's safety," he said. "I am a very cautious person in general due
>> to my background and training.
>>
>> "I am comfortable with defending myself or my family if it ever had to
>> happen."
>>
>> Burke said it is not uncommon for politicians to have security concerns.
>>
>> "We do live unfortunately in an age and in a society now where threats
>> have to be taken pretty seriously," he said.
>>
>> Since the terrorism attacks in the United States on Sept. 11, 2001,
>> security in New Brunswick has been
>> beefed up.
>>
>> Metal detectors were recently installed in the legislature and all
>> visitors are screened.
>>
>> The position of attorney general is often referred to as the
>> province's "top cop."
>>
>> Burke said sometimes people do not differentiate between his role as
>> the manager of the justice system and the individual who actually
>> prosecutes them.
>>
>> "With the job sometimes comes threats," he said. "I have had numerous
>> threats since Day 1 in office."
>>
>> Burke said he hopes his First Nations heritage has nothing to do with it.
>>
>> "I think it is more of an issue where people get fixated on a matter
>> and they believe you are personally responsible for assigning them
>> their punishment or their sanction," he said.
>>
>> Is the threat from someone who was recently incarcerated?
>>
>> "I probably shouldn't answer that," he replied.
>>
>> Reporters asked when the threat would be over.
>>
>> "I don't think a threat ever passes once it has been made," said
>> Burke. "You have to consider the credibility of the source."
>>
>> Bruce Fitch, former justice minister in the Conservative government,
>> said "every now and again there would be e-mails that were not
>> complimentary."
>>
>> "I did have a meeting with the RCMP who are in charge of the security
>> of the MLAs and ministers," said Fitch.
>>
>> "They look at each and every situation."
>>
>> Fitch said he never had bodyguards assigned to him although former
>> premier Bernard Lord and former health minister Elvy Robichaud did
>> have extra security staff assigned on occasion.
>>
>> He said if any MLA felt threatened, he or she would discuss it with the
>> RCMP.
