Independent panel 'a slap in the face,' says daughter of N.S. shooting victim
Families of Nova Scotia victims asked for public inquiry, but review announced instead
Some family members of the 22 victims of the Nova Scotia mass shooting say they're deeply disappointed by the announcement Thursday of an independent review into the tragedy.
Relatives have been calling for a public inquiry, but today the provincial and federal governments stopped short of that, instead announcing there will be an independent three-person panel led by the province's former top judge.
"I'm not really happy. I really feel that a full inquiry is necessary," said Charlene Bagley, who lost her father, Tom Bagley, in the shooting.
"We all deserve the truth and full transparency and I don't feel like we're going to get that."
The review means it is up to the panel to decide whether any hearings will be held in public. All documents and information collected as part of the review will also be kept confidential.
Bagley said she can't speak for the other families, but she said she wouldn't mind those aspects being made public if it means she gets the answers she's seeking.
"I don't want all the details [of] what happened to my father to be known," she said. "But … if it helps move forward and that we can learn from this, then I would be OK with it."

The panel's report, which is due next year and will be made public, will consider the causes, context and circumstances that led to the incident — including gender-based and intimate-partner violence and the gunman's access to firearms — as well as the police response and communications.
It will also address the steps taken to inform, support and engage victims, families and other people affected by the tragedy.
The panel will be chaired by former chief justice of Nova Scotia Michael MacDonald.
The other panel members are former deputy prime minister Anne McLellan, who is currently a senior adviser with the law firm Bennett Jones LLP, and Leanne Fitch, a former chief of the Fredericton Police Force.
All three panel members are from the Maritimes.
22 people killed
On April 18 and 19, a lone gunman went on a 13-hour shooting rampage that began in the small community of Portapique and ended at a gas station in Enfield, 150 kilometres away. Twenty-two people were killed, and the gunman was shot dead by police.
On Wednesday, about 280 people marched to the RCMP detachment in Bible Hill, N.S., to call for an inquiry to be held, after months of waiting for answers.

Nick Beaton, whose wife, Kristen Beaton, was killed in the shooting along with their unborn child, said he's upset with the decision to go with a review instead of an inquiry.
"They say they're worried about our thoughts and feelings. This upsets us more than anything."
Beaton said he and the other families are "not done fighting" until they get the answers they've asked for.
Darcy Dobson, the daughter of victim Heather O'Brien, agreed.
"We're disappointed. It's a slap in the face, for sure," she said.
"Today, [Justice Minister] Mark Furey said in his release that he didn't want to hurt the families anymore, and what you're doing is hurting us by not giving us what we asked for."

In a news conference Thursday, Furey said the panel members were chosen because of their experience in fact-finding and independence, in-depth knowledge of public safety, policing and gender-based and intimate-partner violence, as well as their understanding of shared federal-provincial relations and responsibilities.
Furey has said on a number of occasions that while the province was committed to a review, it would not lead it.
On Thursday, he said they reviewed all options, including a public inquiry, but this process provided the "most timely opportunity" for the earliest responses and setting up a panel.
"We heard loud and clear that people wanted early changes," Furey said, noting that it can take years to set up an inquiry and that a review wouldn't take as long.
In response to this explanation, Dobson said: "We never asked for quick. We asked for the truth."
The review process also does not include some of the powers granted in a public inquiry, such as information provided under oath and the ability to subpoena.
Federal Public Safety Minister Bill Blair said both levels of government are "absolutely committed" to this review and its recommendations.
"This is the right approach and we believe we have the right people to do the work and they have the necessary authorities to get Nova Scotians the answers they deserve," Blair said.
Families briefed
Furey said he spoke to the families earlier this week and that he wanted to personally tell them about the review panel ahead of time.
"We must commit to caring for and thinking of them first," he said.
He said he heard from them and is aware that a public inquiry is the mechanism "that they would prefer." But, he said, after looking at all of the factors, the approach of the review and the strength of the panel gives them the authority to get families the answers they need.
Bagley, who lost her father, said the families were given the opportunity to ask questions about this during their briefing, but she said when she submitted her written question, it was reworded and not properly answered.
"I feel like if they can't be transparent even there, how am I to trust that they're going to be transparent when it comes to the real thing?" she said.
Beaton also said he wasn't satisfied with the meeting with Furey.
"Any question that we asked him, he said, 'I can't speak on behalf of the panel,' " Beaton said.

Canadian Press/GoFundMe/The Canadian Press)
Furey and Blair said all agencies and organizations under their jurisdiction will participate fully in the review, including the RCMP, the Canada Firearms Program, Canada Border Services Agency, the Criminal Intelligence Service and the national Alert Ready Program.
The RCMP released a statement on Thursday afternoon saying it supports the independent review and "will co-operate fully," ensuring the panel has all "available information required."
The panel can also notify the ministers, as well as the public, if an institution or individual fails to co-operate within a reasonable time or claims they cannot due to things like solicitor-client privilege or concerns an ongoing police investigation could be compromised.
"We've empowered the panel to speak publicly at any time, whether it's over the course of their work, in accessing information or anyone interfering in the independence of that panel," Furey said.
Final report in August
The panel, however, has no power to challenge claims of privilege, and can only make note of them.
The panel will provide an interim report to the ministers by Feb. 28, 2021. The final report will be delivered by Aug. 31, 2021. The ministers will receive the reports first and then make them public.
Furey said the panel members are prepared to start work right away, but there are a few administrative matters to get through first, such as finding office space.
The cost of the review will be shared equally between the two levels of government, but there is no set budget yet.
Reaction from opposition parties
Nova Scotia's opposition parties are also calling for an inquiry instead of a review.
In a written statement, Tim Houston, leader of the Progressive Conservatives, described the review as "a complete and utter abdication of responsibility" and "cover your ass politics."
"Premier Stephen McNeil promised Nova Scotians that by waiting for months, the chosen mechanism would ensure change across the country. We now know that wasn't true," the statement said.
"Nova Scotians should be angry, not only because they have been cheated out of an inquiry that is essential to getting answers, but because their Premier and Prime Minister are attempting to fool them into thinking this direction is in their best interest. We need to know who will be held accountable for this short-sighted decision."
Also in a statement, NDP leader Gary Burrill said the decision to forgo an inquiry in favour of the review was "hurtful and disappointing."
"Across Nova Scotia, many organizations and experts, the public in general, and most significantly, the families, have properly called for a public inquiry into the worst mass shooting in our country's history," Burrill's statement said. "The government is mistaken in deciding to do something less."

N.S. conflicts commissioner considers Mark Furey review in mass killing inquiry
PCs question whether justice minister, a former Mountie, should be involved in public inquiry
Nova Scotia's conflicts commissioner is considering a review into whether Justice Minister Mark Furey — a former Mountie — should be involved in the public inquiry into April's 13-hour rampage that left 22 people dead
In a letter to Justice Joseph P. Kennedy dated July 31, 2020, the Nova Scotia Progressive Conservative Party noted, "the public has raised several concerns related to this perceived conflict." On Thursday, PC Leader Tim Houston's chief of staff told CBC News that Kennedy informed the party that he's examining and considering their request.
The RCMP have come under scrutiny for its handling of the tragedy — like the decision to tweet about the shooter's whereabouts instead of issuing an emergency alert — and issues around transparency when it comes to releasing details about the case. CBC applied in April for access to the records and seven other media outlets joined the application.
Furey has previously said he does not believe he's in a conflict of interest and did not seek an opinion because Kennedy had previously told him he wasn't in conflict in dealing with the Glen Assoun matter — a case where RCMP destroyed evidence that could have freed a man wrongfully convicted of murder.
"In the particular fact scenario of the Assoun matter, you found that it appeared there was 'no real conflict of interest.' You also found that as the matter progressed, there was a 'danger that the public would perceive a conflict of interest,'" the PC letter to Kennedy said.
The letter also noted even just a perceived conflict of interest is a violation of the Conflict of Interest Act. It also pointed out that just because Furey was cleared for the Assoun matter, it doesn't mean he's absolved from all other cases involving RCMP.

The letter states Furey is a compellable witness in the mass shooting inquiry.
"Given the subject matter of any investigation into the events would examine the role of the RCMP, it is a reasonable conclusion to draw that the more comprehensive the process (i.e. an inquiry) the more likely Minister Furey would have been compelled to give evidence," the letter said.
"The Minister knew or ought to have known that he would be a compellable witness. The fact that the Minister was participating in any capacity in making a determination on a process in which he could be forced to testify, in and of itself establishes a conflict, or, at the very least, the reasonable perception of a conflict."
When asked about the situation on Thursday, Furey said Kennedy is acting on a complaint and has reviewed the preliminary information and deemed there is more work to do.
"I'll allow the commissioner to finish his work and continue to be guided by his advice," Furey said.
Furey said he hasn't spoken with the commissioner yet, but that he plans to submit a response "in the very near future."

Pushback from families, MPs led to reversal on N.S. mass shooting inquiry, Blair says
Public safety minister says he regrets the 'anxiety' caused by delaying commitment to public inquiry
"This was entirely about the families and their advocacy. We listened to them and that's why we've made the decision to hold an inquiry," Blair told CBC Radio's The House in an interview airing Saturday.
The minister announced Tuesday that the shooting would be the subject of a public inquiry days after Ottawa and the Nova Scotia government agreed to a joint independent review of the incident.
The news followed widespread criticism from families of the victims and a number of parliamentarians who had called for a deeper probe into the 13-hour rampage that left 22 people dead more than three months ago.
Central Nova MP Sean Fraser wrote in a Facebook post Tuesday that he was "deeply upset" by the decision to pursue a review instead of an inquiry, a sentiment echoed by other Liberal MPs across the province.
In response, Nova Scotia Justice Minister Mark Furey said those MPs should take their calls to "the federal minister and their federal colleagues," adding that the provincial government would support the move.
"I think my colleagues in the Nova Scotia Liberal caucus did their job and advocated very strongly on behalf of their constituents." Blair told The House guest host Rosemary Barton. "[That] was important because the voice of the victims was amplified through them, and certainly I listened very carefully to them and their advocacy did have an impact on the decision that we made."
Recent allegations about gunman not known to minister
Blair said that he initially supported moving forward with a review because of his experience with taking that route in the past.
He cited a sweeping 2014 review — something he requested during his tenure as Toronto police chief — which explored how officers interact with people in crisis following the shooting death of teenager Sammy Yatim in 2013.
The minister added that he hadn't been privy to recently revealed details about the gunman when he decided to launch the review panel into the tragedy, but acknowledged that more information has been "coming to light."
Court documents unsealed earlier this week uncovered a number of new allegations about the shooter — that he kept a stockpile of guns and drugs, for example, and had hidden rooms on his properties.
"I am aware that there is a great deal of complexity in what transpired. I think it's fairly important that all of the facts come to light and that everything that can be known should be known," Blair said. "The families deserve nothing less."

Inquiries can take 'substantially longer'
The review was slated for completion by the end of August 2021. Blair said the public inquiry could take "substantially longer."
"That's been the experience with previous public inquiries," he said. "It will take as long as is necessary to do the work the way it needs to be done."
The inquiry will have the power to summon witnesses and compel them to produce evidence — a level of transparency Blair said should foster trust among victims' families.
"Certainly, we regret the anxiety that the delay in that announcement [caused]," he said. "But I would also hope that they would take some comfort in the fact that their concerns were listened to, that we responded to their concerns. We listened very carefully to what they wanted and what they needed from this inquiry and we have done our best to provide it."
In a joint statement released Friday, Blair and Furey said lawyer and former deputy prime minister Anne McLellan has told them she won't be able to act as a commissioner. McLellan was one of three commissioners appointed to conduct the public inquiry, along with former chief justice of Nova Scotia Michael MacDonald and Leanne Fitch, a former chief of the Fredericton Police.
RCMP officer was 'pacing the floor' waiting for tweet approval during N.S. mass shooting
Jennifer Clarke, a now retired corporal, testified Tuesday it took 27 minutes for message to be approved
"I was pacing the floor. It was the longest 27 minutes of my life," Jennifer Clarke, a now retired corporal, testified Monday at a Mass Casualty Commission hearing in Truro, N.S.
"I don't know what else I would've done. There was a lot going on there in the background. Look, I wish I could've gotten it out earlier. I don't know if it could've saved someone."
In April 2020, Clarke was part of the Nova Scotia RCMP's communications team. She was called to help out shortly after 8 a.m. AT and started working from home, gathering information about what was happening in Colchester County, she told the inquiry.
The previous evening, a gunman had killed 13 neighbours in Portapique, N.S., and proceeded to kill nine more people the following day. He travelled nearly 200 kilometres through rural Nova Scotia, most of it in a mock cruiser.

Clarke explained that after receiving direction around 9 a.m. from her civilian boss, Lia Scanlan, to draft a tweet about the cruiser, she had to figure out how to best present the information in a way to differentiate the shooter's vehicle from actual cruisers responding that Sunday morning.
To do so, Clarke said she called detachments to ensure there were no other actual Mountie cars in the province with the same number displayed as the gunman's vehicle.
'Thinking about vigilantism'
"You have to check every detail. We can't be wrong," she testified.
"I was thinking about vigilantism; I was concerned that if I got it wrong, I could be making some of our members a target, and I didn't, obviously, want to do that. So I needed to make it clear to anyone looking at that Twitter feed how what I was showing was different from the rest of the police cars."
Clarke testified she was aware the gunman's car had a push bar but didn't know how many actual cruisers had the same equipment. The public inquiry has heard that in April 2020, Nova Scotia RCMP only had four vehicles with push bars. Three were SUVs and one was a Taurus based in Kingston, N.S., in the Annapolis Valley.
"From my experience with the response to the incident in Moncton, I knew that police cars had come from all over the province to help with that. So I didn't know which units were in the area and which units may have had push bars," Clarke said.

Scotia Twitter)
Clarke said over the next 40 minutes, she worked as fast as she could to confirm the information and had several phone conversations with commanders and her colleague, Cpl. Lisa Croteau, who was doing media interviews outside the Great Village, N.S., fire hall where a command centre was set up.
Clarke also had to go through the process of emailing herself the photo of the cruiser so she could use an editing program on her computer to crop and create a graph on the photo she ultimately tweeted.
"It seems like a really long time … all I know I was going steady. I was trying to verify things," she said.
By 9:40 a.m., she sent her draft tweet to a senior officer for approval. Around that time, 911 calls had come in about a new shooting on a road in Wentworth, N.S., which the Mounties have said was the first indication the gunman had resumed killing. Officers rushed to the scene.
Realizing the first person she emailed was busy, Clarke sought and obtained approval from Staff Sgt. Steve Halliday. But that wasn't the final hurdle.
High-profile incidents require further approval, Clarke testified, saying she still needed the go-ahead from Scanlan. Receiving that approval took about a half-hour. She said she sent three emails but doesn't remember if she called.
"I needed Lia [Scanlan] to know what I was doing because I knew she was communicating with senior management," she said.
Needed additional approval
In the meantime, another one of her colleagues had sent a tweet about the gunman being sighted in the Glenholme, N.S., area, following reports he had gone to a home there.
Clarke said Scanlan was her point of contact in the chain of command and it wouldn't have been appropriate or productive to "go rogue" to try to get approval from someone else.
When asked why Halliday's approval wasn't sufficient for posting, Clarke said she also wanted to ensure the suspect wasn't in custody given the risk that a tweet about the cruiser could pose to RCMP members.
"Things were changing very quickly that morning and I wanted to make sure nothing had changed that would prevent me, or make it difficult or challenging or risky for us to send that tweet at that time," Clarke said.
Tara Miller, who represents a relative of Kristen Beaton, asked Clarke about the order of the tweets and whether it would have made more sense to tweet out the photo of the car prior to the gunman's face. Beaton, who was pregnant, had been active on social media throughout that Sunday morning.
She posted on Facebook cautioning her colleagues to be careful given the situation in Portapique, N.S. At 9:37 a.m., her husband sent her the RCMP's Facebook post identifying the gunman. She was killed around 10 a.m.
Clarke said her boss, Scanlan, made the decision about the priority of the tweets. Scanlan is scheduled to testify Wednesday.
'100 per cent' want earlier approval
Miller asked if, given that Beaton was plugged into social media, whether it was "fair to say that it very well could have been relevant and helpful for other people to allow them to have that information [about the cruiser] as quickly as possible?"
A lawyer representing the Attorney General, Patricia MacPhee, objected and said the line of questioning related to Beaton's social media activity was "frankly abusive." Chief Commissioner Michael MacDonald agreed it wasn't appropriate.

was killed along Plains Road on April 19, 2020, is seen at a makeshift
memorial in Debert, N.S., on April 23, 2020. (Tim Krochak/Reuters)
In response, Miller said since Clarke had worked in the RCMP's communications unit for years, she asked her to comment on whether she would have changed anything about getting the information out to the public.
Clarke said she "100 per cent" wanted to get the information out earlier and agreed she would've liked to get approval earlier.
Speaking to reporters afterward, Miller said it appeared Clarke was working in a silo and the need for Scanlan's approval led to a "critical delay in time" that was relevant in her client's death. Miller said she hoped the testimony and discussions of the RCMP's processes would lead to recommendations that will prevent similar situations.
Supt. Dustine Rodier, who managed the RCMP's Operational Communications Centre during the mass shooting, and Glenn Mason, the force's emergency planning co-ordinator, were also testifying Tuesday.

June 7thAmong his many, many other faults, it would appear that we can also lay the RCMP’s eventual decision to stop taking any questions related to Gabriel Wortman’s murderous rampages in April of 2020 at the feet of bestselling author/occasional Frank scribe Paul Palango.

Frank Magazine’s weasel-worded apology
KJIPUKTUK (Halifax) – In a whole new spin on the corporate standby apology to “anybody we may have offended,” Frank Magazine apologizes to its readers for a racist cartoon it published “because racists may have liked it.”
The cartoon shows poet and activist El Jones with a jutting chin and sloped forehead, reminiscent of racist cartoons beloved by white supremacists that show Barack Obama as a gorilla, or Nazi Germany’s Der Stürmer cartoons that showed Jewish people with big noses and bags of money.
“We’d hate to think we’re going to attract the wrong elements by them believing we are racist,” managing editor Andrew Douglas tells Michael Tutton of the Canadian Press.
That’s not an apology, that’s just a bunch of weasel words inspired by the realization that if enough people complain it may cost Frank Magazine its cherished spot at Sobeys, Lawtons and Superstore checkouts.
Frank now says it will modify the cartoon. It has a long history of similarly hateful posts that can’t be modified though.
A petition written by Erin Wunker calls for the immediate removal of the magazine from stores and responds to Frank’s argument that it is merely engaging in satire.
“We know what satire means. It is an effort to critique ideas or public figures on substantive grounds, not banal racist depictions,” the petition states.
You can find the petition here.

Peter McIsaac, chief of the Cape Breton Regional Police Service (CBRPS), revealed this week that he is leaving his post after a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
McIsaac , who has been on medical leave since July 2019, told the CBC’s Tom Ayers that he’s come to understand he’s suffered from PTSD for 25 years — meaning for most of his 35-year policing career and the entirety of his 10-year tenure as chief.
On a personal level, this must have been a terrible condition to have lived with all these years and a painful diagnosis to hear. And indeed, McIsaac spoke to Ayers about how PTSD affects the sufferer, physically and mentally, and the toll it takes on their families and friends.
Peter McIsaac (CBC Photo by Tom Ayers)
I wish McIsaac a full recovery and a happy retirement, but my interest in the chief of police is not personal. My interest is in the implications of this diagnosis for the CBRPS. The questions that occur to me include, how can an officer spend 25 years suffering symptoms of PTSD without anyone on the force noticing? What toll does undiagnosed and untreated PTSD take on the sufferer’s coworkers or — particularly in the case of a chief — subordinates? And how can the CBRPS ensure the person it puts in the police chief’s chair will not eventually say, as McIsaac did this week, that it was “the worst place that [he] could be?”
Crime rates
Ayers’ encounter with McIsaac served as something of an exit interview, a chance for the outgoing chief to reflect on his career in that time-honored tradition of departing municipal officials — in addition to the web article, the “wide-ranging” interview was aired in four parts on CBC Information Morning Cape Breton and CBC Mainstreet Cape Breton — and I am mostly going to let it be (McIsaac is very proud of all CBRM’s new and renovated police stations, did not mention the John Be Gone sting) but there are a few subjects I feel compelled to address.
Ayers noted that Grant Thornton’s CBRM Viability Study, submitted to the municipality not long after McIsaac departed on sick leave, recommended an efficiency study of the Cape Breton Regional Police Service which, with about 200 officers, has a higher “cop-to-pop” ratio than any similar-sized Canadian jurisdiction (not to mention many larger-sized Canadian jurisdictions.)
CBRPS Central Division
That “efficiency” study, initially due in November, is now expected sometime in March (were this a work of fiction, that would read like a very ham-fisted attempt at foreshadowing). CBRM CAO Marie Walsh (who is related by marriage to Robert Walsh, the acting police chief overseeing the study) got out in front of any suggestion the review would result in a reduction in the size of the force, arguing the CBRM’s large force is why it has a low crime rate, an assessment with which McIsaac agrees.
In reality, researchers have struggled for years to understand why crime has been declining — not just in the CBRM but literally everywhere in the Western world — for the past quarter century. Theories range from ageing populations to declining alcohol consumption to getting the lead out of gasoline but no one has been able to answer the question definitively (I mean, outside of our municipal officials.)
One very interesting essay I read recently, by Michael Tonry (McKnight Presidential Professor in Criminal Law and Policy at the University of Minnesota Law School), suggests the question we should be asking ourselves is not why crime has been declining since the ’90s but why crime spiked between the ’60s and ’90s. Tonry presents a very convincing case that this increase was an anomaly, interrupting what had otherwise been a centuries-long downward trend in crime — a trend that has since resumed. He explores a number of possible theories, but concludes only that, “As was true in Europe beginning in the late Middle Ages, crime rates move to deep and broad social forces, and move in parallel, even if sometimes with lags.”
CBRPS East Division (New HQ Glace Bay)
Tonry (whose paper was published in 2014) shows that crime trends “move in parallel” even when responses to them do not, a concept he illustrates by comparing Canada and the United States:
Canadian crime rate patterns have closely paralleled America’s since 1960, but Canada’s imprisonment patterns and criminal justice policies have been starkly different (Webster and Doob 2007). Since 1960, the Canadian imprisonment rate has fluctuated around 100 per 100,000 population, while America’s rose from 150 per100,000 in 1970 to 756 in 2007. Canadian agencies have not emphasized zero-tolerance and other aggressive forms of policing, and the Canadian Parliament did not enact three-strikes, truth-in-sentencing, and life-without-possibility-of-parole laws. Only in the last couple of years have significant mandatory minimum sentence laws been enacted; they do not, however, require sentences measured in decades and life-times and are meeting strong resistance from the appellate courts (R.v. Smickle, 2013 Ontario Court of Appeals 677 [CanLII];R. v. Nur,2013 Ontario Court of Appeals 678 [CanLII]; Doob and Webster2013).
Yet crime rates moved in tandem.
But this is nuanced, thoughtful, research-based thinking, which our local officials apparently don’t have time for, so they get all post hoc, ergo propter hoc about it: The CBRM has a large police force. The CBRM has a low crime rate. Ergo, the CBRM’s low crime rate must be due to its large police force.
MIA
“CBRM officials” have another argument in favor of a large force: “the police service needs that many officers to cover the large regional municipality, to backfill up to 40 officers who are off sick at any given time.” As McIsaac tells Ayers:
“Go and ask the union membership right now, do they think they have enough members, because they are working shorthanded just about every day. People are getting burned out. It’s probably some of the reasons why some of them are not working.
“And the only reason our number is what it is, is because 30-plus are there because of outside resources or money allocated from somewhere else.”
CBRPS North Division HQ, Sydney Mines (renovated Post Office)
So, two things.
First, isn’t arguing you need an over-sized police force to deal with your high rates of absenteeism like saying you need 100 buckets to deal with all the leaks in your roof? Shouldn’t the force be coming to grips with why 40 officers may be out on any given day rather than simply making sure they have enough staff to cover for them?
Perhaps the police review will deal with this.
Second, that argument about outside funding has also been trotted out — most recently by Acting Chief Walsh in September 2019 — to prove that CBRM doesn’t really have a high cop-to-pop ratio because it only “fully” funds 167 officers:
The others are funded at least in part by outside agencies, such as the provincial departments of education and justice and the Membertou First Nation.
That makes the ratio about 180 per 100,000.
“I don’t think that we are overpoliced,” the acting chief said.
I have to sub-divide this into two further things.
First, whether the CBRM fully pays for them or not, there are 200 officers policing our municipality.
And second, the amount at least one of these “outside agencies” (the Department of Justice) is paying to fund these extra cops has been controversial since at least 2013, when a Task Force formed by then-Mayor Cecil Clarke to “make recommendations regarding the organization and operations of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality” reported that:
Programs such as “Boots on the Street” which are externally funded have substantially augmented policing services in the CBRM. However, the officers sourced through this program have been integrated into the regular policing regimen. Because the province has frozen support for the program at 2008 levels, the operating budget of the CBRM has to support more than $300,000 in costs for these officers (salaries and associated benefit costs). The cost would not have been budgeted for which means additional areas had to be cut to support these previously externally funded positions. The CBRM does not have the financial resources to continue to pay for these ”Boots on the Streets” officers if external monies are not adjusted to current levels.
But the CBRM has continued to find the financial resources to pay for these officers, even as the gap between what the province sends us and what they cost us has continued to widen.
But again, maybe the police review will address these concerns.
Social work
McIsaac surprised me by not only grasping entirely what “defund the police” means but by supporting it.
He noted that police are called in to do many things that would once not have been considered their jobs, from entering schools to deal with students to handling individuals on probation.
I give McIsaac full credit here because this is familiar territory for him. He told the CBRM Police Commission in February 2019:
You heard me say this before but the police have gone from the agency of last resort to the social agency of first choice, expected to be responders to just about anything and everything that happens in our communities.
In speaking with Ayers, he said:
You want to defund the police? Good. Take the money away from the police, give it to the people that are supposed to be doing it. Let us go and do some other things.
That, in my opinion, is an excellent note for a chief to go out on.

Stories of notable Nova Scotians in their own words
Mary Campbell
Mary Campbell possesses that quick, cutting sense of humour that seems particular to the place that was once called Industrial Cape Breton. Most importantly, she can tell a story against herself. However, Mary also happens to be a serious, seasoned (not old!) journalist who has worked in Halifax, Prince Edward Island, Montreal, Toronto and the Czech Republic’s capital city of Prague. She was in Prague for several years.
In her story, she recalls in detail flipping her car into a snowbank in rural P.E.I. and then taking a photo of it for the newspaper she worked at, fainting while covering a surgical procedure in Montreal and being caught by the anesthesiologist, and getting hired as an English teacher by a Zimbabwean man in Prague because she was wearing a Cape Breton T-shirt.
Eventually, Mary returned home and in 2016 founded the online newspaper called the Cape Breton Spectator. On the publication’s site, she writes, “My needs are not great—my only extravagances are quality paper and cat antibiotics—so it won’t take too many subscribers to keep this enterprise afloat. Anything I earn beyond the bare necessities will pay freelance writers and photographers: I’m fond of the sound of my own voice, but not that fond.”
Mary also happens to be one of the “Highlander Campbells.” Her parents John and Dolores, several uncles and aunts, and a number of “non-Campbells” published the radical Cape Breton Highlander newspaper in Sydney from 1963 to 1976. Its prospectus stated, “There will be no hesitation to become involved in controversy if the outcome holds promise of constructive achievement for Cape Breton.” Mary, who was born in 1964, recalls growing up in that environment and the influence it had on her later life and work. That could well be the prospectus for the Spectator.
In her story, Mary mentions Tim Bousquet, publisher of the online Halifax Examiner newspaper, which like the Spectator is independent, adversarial, subscription-based and advertising-free. The two publications now offer a joint subscription. Bousquet writes, “Campbell is everything a journalist should be: inquisitive, dogged, and unafraid. Even better, she’s wickedly funny.” That describes Mary Campbell—and the Cape Breton Spectator—to a T.
This is only a short introduction to Mary’s much longer story.

Nova Scotia protesters continue push for public inquiry into mass shooting

shooting in April.Darren Calabrese/The Globe and Mail
Nova Scotians took to the streets Monday to push for a public inquiry into Canada’s deadliest mass shooting as new court documents revealed further allegations about the gunman, including that he was a sexual predator who smuggled guns and sold drugs.
Anger is growing in Nova Scotia over the federal and provincial governments’ decision to hold a panel review rather than a public inquiry into the April attacks that left 22 people dead. The three-member panel has no power to compel witnesses and no requirement to conducts its business in public.
Hundreds rallied in Halifax and outside the Bridgewater, N.S., constituency office of provincial Justice Minister Mark Furey, who announced the review last week along with federal Public Safety Minister Bill Blair, contending it would be faster and less traumatizing for the victims’ families than an inquiry.
Protesters say a review won’t adequately address police missteps that may have contributed to toll of the mass shooting. They’re calling for a full inquiry that could hold public hearings, force witnesses to testify and produce binding recommendations to prevent similar tragedies.
They want to know what could have been done to prevent the massacre committed during a 13-hour rampage by Gabriel Wortman, who is described in newly released witness statements given to police as an alleged “sexual predator” who “burns bodies,” smuggled guns from Maine, sold painkillers OxyContin and Dilaudid, and had a secret room and false walls at his Dartmouth denture clinic, where police were told he hid weapons.
These witnesses, interviewed by police after the April killings, are not identified. They include neighbours, family members and employees, including one who said the gunman described how to dissolve bodies and kept chemicals for this purpose under his deck. This same person called him a sexual predator, but for reasons not revealed in the documents.
The records, part of previously redacted information used by the police to obtain search warrants connected to the continuing RCMP investigation, were ordered unsealed by a judge on Monday, as part of a legal challenge by a group of media outlets including The Globe and Mail.
The demonstrators calling for an inquiry are backed by prominent women’s groups, legal experts, dozens of senators and thousands of Nova Scotians slamming the review process – which is scheduled to produce a final report by next August – as secretive and ineffective.
“I don’t plan on stopping,” said Harry Bond, whose parents Peter and Joy Bond were killed in the mass shooting. He drove to the Bridgewater rally, and he says he will continue attending such events until a public inquiry is announced.
“It’s not something we want to do, but with them wanting to do a review instead of a public inquiry, it’s something we’re forced to do.”
Cathy Mansley, a former RCMP officer who lives in Port Hawkesbury, N.S., said she doesn’t think the demonstrations will end until the governments reverse their decision.
“People are angry, people are furious. They’ve lost their trust in the RCMP because of this,” said Ms. Manley, who was a claimant in a class-action suit over discrimination and sexual abuse in the RCMP that was settled in 2016.
“This is hurting the police even more, and it’s hiding the mistakes of management. It puts our first responders at even more risk if they don’t have an inquiry. They’re not the ones who deserve to take the brunt of this.”
More rallies are planned this week, including a march on the Nova Scotia Legislature Wednesday morning organized by families of victims who’ve launched a class-action lawsuit against the RCMP.
The demonstrators are angry there were no criminal charges against the gunman in the years leading up to his attack, despite multiple domestic violence and weapons complaints. His rampage started on April 18 in Portapique, N.S., with an assault on his common-law wife.
Protest organizers say there is clear precedence for a public inquiry – pointing to cases such as the Westray Mine disaster in Plymouth N.S., in 1992, when an inquiry was ordered just a week after 26 coal miners were killed in an explosion. That process led to new legislation that holds managers and directors of corporations criminally liable if they fail to take steps to protect the lives of their employees.
Ms. Mansley, who spent 24 years as an officer and had her own experiences with sexual assault, said the RCMP need a culture change when it comes to investigating domestic violence.
“There’s an attitude in the RCMP when it comes to these kind of calls, and I’ve seen it more than once. I’ve seen managers cover it up,” she said. “It just traumatizes victims further. These police officers are still out there with their same ideas on domestic violence.”
Critics complain the review of April’s mass killing lacks the teeth to properly examine the role domestic violence, and how it’s policed, played in the attack. If an RCMP officer involved in the case retires, for example, they would no longer be required to co-operate with the review.
Opposition politicians are calling for an emergency sitting of the provincial legislature to allow for a bill to be tabled forcing a public inquiry.
“There was only one thing these families asked for: an inquiry. Given the unthinkable tragedy they have been through, it wasn’t a lot to ask,” said Tim Houston, leader of Nova Scotia’s Progressive Conservative party.
“The Premier took the easy way out. He has denied justice and denied the opportunity to make positive change for our entire province and country.”
Claudia Chender, an NDP MLA for Dartmouth South who was at the Halifax rally, said an inquiry is the only way to ensure transparency and accountability for a province demanding answers.
“We need a public inquiry in which panelists are commissioners and can find the information they need to get to the truth and, most importantly, to get to justice,” she said.
Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil has defended the review process and says its panelists – former chief justice of Nova Scotia Michael MacDonald; former federal attorney-general Anne McLellan; and Leanne Fitch, the former chief of the Fredericton Police Force – can ask his government for more powers if they need them.

Editor’s note: (July 28, 2020): An earlier version of this story said the shooting was worst mass killing in Canadian history.

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.
Twenty-two
people died on April 18 and 19, 2020. Top row from left: Gina Goulet,
Dawn Gulenchyn, Jolene Oliver, Frank Gulenchyn, Sean McLeod, Alanna
Jenkins. Second row: John Zahl, Lisa McCully, Joey Webber, Heidi
Stevenson, Heather O'Brien and Jamie Blair. Third row from top: Kristen
Beaton, Lillian Campbell, Joanne Thomas, Peter Bond, Tom Bagley and Greg
Blair. Bottom row: Emily Tuck, Joy Bond, Corrie Ellison and Aaron Tuck.
(CBC)
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.
Though
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

drug squad, he got a tip that a provincial government employee was
dealing drugs out of his office. He and another cop went to the man’s
office, arrested and searched him. They found hash, scales, cash and a
list of debts. Later, the man even signed a confession. But the judge
threw out the charges, saying the word of an informant alone wasn’t
enough for the cops to believe the man was carrying the drugs, which
made the search “a flagrant abuse of the accused’s charter rights.” Case
dismissed.
Perhaps surprisingly, Martin doesn’t blame too-liberal judges for making
his job more difficult. “I hear complaints about the judges,” he
allows, “but the judges aren’t the problem. The problem is trying to
take cases into court that are not a good package. My job as an
investigator is to get to a threshold that’s beyond ‘reasonable doubt.’
When I’m working a case, I have to set the standard higher—beyond any
doubt. I have to make damn sure I have all the proof in the world
because the last thing I want to do is send somebody to jail who didn’t
do it.”
But that, of course, doesn’t make knowing who did do it and still not
being able to put them away any easier to take.
Martin says he tries not to distinguish among murder victims, even
though it’s clear many were killed as a result of their own “risky
behaviour. Murder,” he says simply, “is never excusable. Even if you’re
taking a risk, you’re no less a victim.” Still, it’s hard not to become
more obsessed with cases involving those Martin refers to as “pure
victims,” people who were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
People like Kimberly McAndrew, a 19-year-old cashier at the Canadian
Tire store on Quinpool Road, who left work early at 4:20 on the
afternoon of August 12, 1989, went into a parking lot crowded with
Saturday shoppers—and vanished.
Even though he was on the drug squad at the time McAndrew disappeared,
Martin has since made the case his own. He’s followed every lead;
personally re-interviewed dozens of those who gave statements early on
to see if they remembered something else; talked with the retired cops
who worked the case in the beginning; met with psychics; followed
dead-end rumours that Kimberly had been forced into prostitution in
Toronto or even—as recently as two years ago—a rumour that she was alive
and well and living in upstate New York; interrogated a Halifax man
serving time in a British Columbia prison as a dangerous sexual
offender; questioned other inmates who claimed to know where her body
was buried; scoured Sir Sandford Flemming Park for three days on one
tip; even, pursuing another lead, donned a hard hat and rubber boots and
climbed six metres down a dirty wet well shaft in Point Pleasant Park
so he could scoop up some tiny bone fragments that turned out not be
McAndrew’s.
Martin believes he knows what happened to McAndrew. “Call it an educated
theory, based on her victimology, geography, the timing, the activities
of a particular person. But…” He stops, considers. “You want to solve
it for the families. I’ve always tried to be involved with the families
of the victims. It’s hardest for them, dealing with the void. You want
to give them peace, some closure even if it’s only learning what
happened…. It’s hardest for me when the families are nice to you, when
they’re appreciative of what you’re trying to do, thankful for keeping
them informed. Like the McAndrews. And the MacCulloughs.”
Jason MacCullough, a 19-year-old community volunteer who shovelled snow
for the elderly, is another of Martin’s pure victims. Shortly after one
o’clock on the morning of August 28, 1999—now seven years ago this
week—MacCullough was walking along a secluded path through Dartmouth’s
Pine Hill Park on his way home after visiting friends in nearby
Highfield Park when he was shot in the back of the head from close
range. The park—like the Canadian Tire parking lot on the afternoon
Kimberly disappeared—was full of people.
But, like McAndrew again, nobody saw anything or, if they did, they
won’t tell the police what they saw, or, even if they do talk to the
police, they won’t testify in court.
Martin has conducted more than 100 interviews, made thousands of phone
calls, visited the crime scene more times than he can count, and filled
more than 20 file boxes in the still-unfinished process of bring Jason’s
killer to justice. He describes the MacCullough case as the most
frustrating of his career. Although police quickly zeroed in on a core
group of suspects—who may have been in the middle of a drug deal Jason
accidentally witnessed—none of the people in the park that night would
say what they saw. At one point, the police even released detailed
composite sketches of each of the five individuals they believed had
been present at the time of the shooting in hopes someone could come
forward and connect them to what happened to Jason. It didn’t work. To
complicate matters—“the worst part,” Martin says—someone who wasn’t even
involved in the murder started “‘chumping,’ bragging to his friends
that he’d killed Jason, trying to prove, ‘I’m a real bad guy….’” Martin
shakes his head. “So not only do I have to prove who did it, I have to
prove who fucking didn’t do it.”
He eventually did do that, but Martin says eliminating the wrong guy
wasted valuable time that should have been spent putting Jason’s real
killers behind bars.
And time, Martin knows today, is no longer on his side.
June 23, 2006. The feeling this time was “just as oh-my-Jesus painful,”
but somehow not the same either. “Guys,” Tom Martin tried to reassure
his concerned wife and son Ben, “it’s not a heart attack.”
And it wasn’t.
But that didn’t make it—or him—any better.
Two months ago, Martin was rushed to the hospital by ambulance again
where doctors discovered a clot the size of a baseball inside his left
lung, probably the end result of some complications he’d had the week
before with an angiogram. Now he’s back home, “on strong meds” and
waiting for the clot to dissolve so the doctors can get back to treating
his heart problems again, probably sometime in September, and, oh, yes,
eventually operate on his still-broken leg. “It’s at the bottom of the
list,” he says, looking down at the brace he wears to protect it. He
laughs. It’s a short, resigned laugh. “I was never sick before. And now…
I know all the docs and nurses by their first names. I’ve learned so
goddamned much about this medical stuff. I don’t want to learn any
more.”
He doesn’t have a choice, of course. Just as it’s no longer in his power
to determine when—or if—he’ll be able to work again. After using up his
leftover overtime and vacation time, the clock on his long-term
disability insurance began ticking earlier this year. Essentially, he
has two years to get back to work, or the insurance company changes his
long-term designation to permanent.
“Maybe teaching,” he suggests without much enthusiasm. Martin is a
popular, in-demand instructor at law enforcement professional
development workshops and courses, and it might be a less stressful way
to continue to be a cop. He’s also already had job offers from private
security companies who’d love to have his name and reputation on their
letterhead. But he’d have to get better first, and besides, there’s no
job he’d rather have than the one he had before.
This summer, he has had to follow the rash of murder and mayhem in
Spryfield on TV. “In the past when the big cases would happen, I’d never
see them on TV until days later, if at all. I was the one being called
out. I was working them.” And now? “My wife is the one getting called
out in the middle of the night, and I’m the one sitting at home,
worrying…. The first few times, it was weird, but then you get used to
it. Miss it? Yeah, I do, I miss it. But I miss the ones I was working on
even more.”
This week’s upcoming anniversary of the MacCullough case will be
especially difficult. “Last year I was too sick to notice.”
Jason’s father has called to see how he’s feeling and wish him well in
his recovery. “We never talked about Jason, which was weird too,” Martin
says now. “I’ve had hundreds and hundreds of calls with Allan and
Carolyn and we always talked about Jason.”
Jason’s case still troubles him, both because “Jason could have been
anybody’s son,” and also because of what the case says about us and how
Halifax has changed since he was a young cop. “Even in the ’80s, the
armed robbery of a bank or someplace like that was high profile. It
would completely empty out the office. Now armed robberies are like
break-and-enters used to be. Murders have become so frequent—not
commonplace but almost—that citizens will hear about one and say, ‘Oh,
another murder in Halifax last night.’”
Would Jason’s murder have been solved if it had happened in that earlier
era? Martin considers. “We would have had more community involvement,”
he says, pausing again, considering some more. “I’d lean toward saying
we would have the case before the courts if it had happened back
then…but you can never go back.”
In Jason’s case, where “the only thing missing is for someone to come
forward, for someone to really and truly give a shit,” the real
frustration is that “I know who the people are who can tell us what we
need. And the people responsible know I know.” Before his heart attack,
Martin had made it a point of showing up whenever one of those guys
would get arrested for something else. “Just to let them know I ain’t
going away,” he says.
Despite his own delicate and precarious prognosis, Tom Martin insists he
still isn’t going away. “I know this case. I can get this case before
the courts. This case is do-able.”
Tom Martin isn’t full.

Former Liberal MP wins Halifax mayor's job
Mike Savage is seen in this undated file photo.
The Canadian Press
Published Saturday, October 20, 2012 10:01PM EDT
HALIFAX - A former Liberal MP has won the race to be the new mayor of Atlantic Canada's largest city.
Mike Savage won the mayor's job in Halifax on Saturday in a six-candidate race that included entrepreneur Fred Connors, software developer Aaron Eisses, comedian Steve Mackie, retired police officer Tom Martin and dietary aide Robert McCormack.
The 52-year-old Savage was the MP for Dartmouth-Cole Harbour for seven years until his defeat in the May 2011 election.
His father John Savage was premier of Nova Scotia from 1993 to 1997 and mayor of Dartmouth in the late 1980s, years before it was amalgamated with neighbouring Halifax.
Savage replaces Peter Kelly, who decided not to seek re-election after 12 years in office.
Amalgamation of the sprawling municipality of 370,000 people, urban sprawl, tax reform, public transit, economic development and government secrecy were the major issues discussed during the mayoral debates.

Halifax cold cases need renewed police focus, retired investigator says
Halifax police have 70 major unsolved cases, including 59 homicides
"We don't just throw our hands up and say 'OK that's it, so what, big deal, let's move on,'" Tom Martin told CBC News. "It's too tragic, too barbaric."
The Halifax Regional Police website shows there are 70 major unsolved cases: 59 homicides and 11 missing persons. There are cases dating back to 1955.
Martin spent decades as a police officer and was one of the department's most experienced, handling hundreds of murder cases and other major crimes.
"Taking someone's life is the ultimate crime," he said. "The frustration I feel is that here we are X number of years later in these various cases and they still remain unsolved."
Police management to blame
The department announced in October 2000 it was establishing a cold case squad to investigate 20 murders, but Martin questions just how serious the department is about it.
He said there's as much, if not more, skill, ability and talent in the major crimes division now as there was when he was there, but he said officers need time to do their work.
"Management is not putting the resources in that it should be putting in and the numbers tell the story," he said. "The department has to put the money and the effort into doing this."
Jason MacCullough case solvable
One of the cases Martin investigated that is especially frustrating for him is the slaying of Jason MacCullough. The 19-year-old was killed as he took a shortcut home in north-end Dartmouth on August 28, 1999.
Jason MacCullough, 19, was killed in 1999. His case has not been solved. (CBC)
Martin calls MacCullough a "true victim" because he was not involved with criminals and was "a good kid" who volunteered in his neighbourhood and helped others.
"We were very close when I was there," Martin said about the police task force set up to investigate the murder, but which was later shut down.
He said they had new witnesses and gathered more statements. He believes someone would be arrested and charged if the department would put resources into solving the case.
Martin said he hears from families of murder victims all the time and refers them to the police department, although often they don't know who to contact and say they haven't heard from police in months or even years.
"It comes back to the department," Martin said. "Management has got to step up."

Hey
As Harper sits and bullshits his cohorts in the Council of Foreign
Relations in the Big Apple today I bet he was listening to what was
happening
with Obama and the IRS and Holder and his DOJ minions in Washington.
Hevery body and his dog knows Harper knew about my battles with the US
Treasury and Justice Depts way back when he was the boss of the
opposition in Canada's Parliament. Two simple files easily found on
the Internet cannot be argued.
http://qslspolitics.blogspot.
http://www.archive.org/
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Office of Chief Counsel, Treasury.
Inspector General for Tax Administration, (202) 622-4068.
When Teddy bitches about polticians using the IRS to attack their
enemies because he knows it true because he helped Bush the IRS
against me
when Obama was just a State Senator . The proof was when I sent him
the documents that came along with the letter found on page 13 of this
old
file Teddy Baby Olson quit as Solicitor General.
http://www.checktheevidence.
Harper and every body else knows It was no coincidence that I sent the
lawyers Olson as Solicitior General, Ferguson as the co chair of the
Federal Reserve Bank, and J Strom Thurmond Jr the youngest US
Attorney the same pile of documents on April Fools Day 2004.
The sad but terrible truth is that legions of cops, lawyers polticians
and bureaucrats in Canada and the USA knew about the US Secret Service
coming to my home after dark on April Fools Day 2003 bearing false
allegations of a presidential threat and threatening to use their
implied right to use exta ordinary rendition against me as a non
citizen less than two weeks after the needless War in Iraq began and
no WMD were ever found.
You can bet dimes to dollars i called some Yankee Inspector Generals
(starting with 202 622 4068) and reminded them that I am still alive
and kicking and reminding the world of their malicious incompetence
Veritas Vincit

902 800 0369
PS Below you can review some emails I sent you and your Yankee cohorts
such asTeddy Baby Olson before Obama was reelected EH Harper? In truth
I would rather settle in confidence with Obama then sue the Hell out
of the CROWN and the Holy See Trust that the evil old Judge Bastarache
has known why for a very long time.

Just go back six more years in case you forgot EH Harper???
http://qslspolitics.blogspot.
Bob Bauer a former blogger for Huffington Post returned to Perkins $
Coie after a period of service to President Barack Obama as his White
House Counsel from December of 2009 until June of 2011.
He is now General Counsel to the President’s re-election committee, to
Obama for America, and General Counsel to the Democratic National
Committee. He has also served as co-counsel to the New Hampshire State
Senate in the trial of Chief Justice David A. Brock (2000); general
counsel to the Bill Bradley for President Committee (1999-2000); and
counsel to the Democratic Leader in the trial of President William
Jefferson Clinton (1999).
He has co-authored numerous bipartisan reports, including "Report of
Counsel to the Senate Rules and Administration Committee in the Matter
of the United States Senate Seat From Louisiana" in the 105th Congress
of the United States (March 27, 1997); "Campaign Finance Reform," A
Report to the Majority Leader and Minority Leader of the United States
Senate (March 6, 1990); and "The Presidential Election Process in the
Philippines" (1986), a bipartisan report prepared at the request of
the Chairman and Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations.
Too bad so sad the lawyer Obama didn't ignore his legal counsel and
check my work for himself long ago. It is clear to me that Bob Bauer
never studied Maritimers and their lawsuits as closely as I studied
his work over the years.
http://www.checktheevidence.
If Obama does not finally simply say my name and expose what he knows
about Romney and I way back before he was even a Governor then he
deserves to lose this election.
However even though I would NOT wish to see another GOP president you
and your Bankster buddies won't mind that a bit but I doubt the NDP
and the Liberals will agree EH Mr Prime Minister?
http://davidamos.blogspot.ca/
Some wise should scroll to the botom of this email and unserstand that
it was Fidelity that knowly sold the Title Insurance on the fruldulent
sale of my family's home in 2005 then Citizens Bank illegally recorded
the discharge of a mortage long after the deal was done and I heve the
records from the Registry of Deeds. Clearly the Royal Bank Of Scotland
and British FSA has ADMITTED knowing all this for wat past too long.

ATTORNEY'S OFFICE SDNYc
Hey
I just called you correct Mr Vogel? (703 647 7985) You do work for a
publicly held Corp and you are supposed to conduct yourself ethically
as a journalist CORRECT? If you don't think that I am the guy who
caused Bernie Madoff to suddenly plead guilty last month and am
justifiably pissed off today then you best read this email and the
following ones real slow.
You did ask me to cut to the chase correct Kenny Baby? My answer was
Cya in Court Correct? Now my question is do you have a lawyer and does
he understand the power of emails as evidence in legal matter? If not
perhap he should ask the lawyer Elias why I am so pissed off after you
forward him this and the following emails EH? (FYI I called Elia
office too 202.434.1609 and read his assistant the riot act while I
was doing so other lawyers were studing me rathe dilently scroll to
the bottom of this email to see the proof)
After breaking the icecap on my name in the media yesterday I am
speaking again today on Dr Bill Deagle's radio show on GCN. My
intention today as I speak again on Dr Bill's show is to try to expose
my knowledge of what Barack Obama and his cohorts knew about my
concerns beginning back in 2004 long BEFORE he was elected Senator and
how he quite likely used the material I sent him byway of his
assistant Peter Coffey to become the keynote Speaker at the Democrat's
convention in July of 2004 that gave rise to his popularity with the
malevolent assistance of Howard Dean and many others. Perhaps you
should tune in to the alternate media for your source of true info.
On a personal level in the strange world of coincidences it was a
Yankee Judge named Coffey who was my neighbor in Milton MA (the town
where George H. W. Bush was born) that became involved in my false
imprisonment in Boston in October of 2004 based on an unsigned illegal
criminal complaint in a court with no jurisdiction to even atempt to
hear such a matter in the first place. More importantly Dennis
Kucinich knew everything a year before that happened when he was
running for the presidentil nonination in 2003 and 2004. Just before
my phone line was cut in Milton MA I called Kucinich office they
acknowledge hhis response to me in 2003 but denied knowing what I sent
his lawyer lady friend at the time. When invited him to come to court
on October 1st, 2004 to help me impeach George W. Bush. Kucinich's
people declined my offer just like my wife's Yankee lawyer Barry
Bachrach who also chickened out. Not long after that call my phone
line was cut and I went to jail without being legally arrested and
held under the charges of "other" in solitary confinement without bail
until the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs paid me a visit. No
kidding I hve the documentation posted in my files within SCRIBD.
Google me sometime before you dare to call me a liar or a nut. Clearly
I studied you dudes. It was not a cold call today EH?

Ms Olsen
Thank you for keeping me informed.
Yes unseal all my emails with all their attachments immediately and
make certain that the US Attorny's office finally practices full
disclosurement as to who I am and what my concerns are as per the Rule
of Law within a purported democracy.
As you folks all well know I am not a shy man and I have done nothing
wrong. It appears to me that bureacratic people only use the right to
privacy of others when it suits their malicious ends in order to
protect their butts from impreacment, litigation and prosecution.
The people in the US Attorney's Office and the SEC etc are very well
aware that I protested immediately to everyone I could think of when
the instant I knew that my correspondences went under seal and Madoff
pled guilty so quickly and yet another cover up involing my actions
was under full steam. Everybody knows that.the US Government has been
trying to keep my concerns about the rampant public corruption a
secret for well over seven long years. However now that a lot of
poeple and their countries in general are losing a lot of money people
are beginning to remember just exactly who I am and what i did
beginning over seven years ago..

Emera because my work with them and Danny Williams is well known and
some of it is over eight years old and in the PUBLIC Record.
All you have to do is stand in the Legislature and ask the MInister of
