Hardly anyone at #MCC

same information…..just a different spin on it. If it walks like a

helpful!

THANK YOU for contacting the Toronto Star Public Editor's office.
This office handles queries about accuracy and the Star's
journalistic standards as set out in its Newsroom Policy and
Journalistic Standards Guide
https://www.thestar.com/
The public editor's office is staffed Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5
p.m., by Public Editor Bruce Campion-Smith and Public Editor,
Associate, Maithily Panchalingam.
If you are requesting a correction or questioning journalistic
standards, please send a link or details of where you read the article
you are questioning, (e.g.- date, page number, digital device.) Please
include your full name and a telephone number where we can reach you
for further information if necessary. Unfortunately, due to the volume
of emails we receive, we cannot reply to every email, but we do read
them all, consider carefully the issues raised, and take appropriate
action to attempt to resolve complaints in cases of error or breach of
the Star's standards.
Some messages to the public editor may be published in Bruce
Campion-Smith's public editor column, which explores journalistic
issues raised by readers. Please inform us if you do not want your
message published.
Corrections: The public editor's office looks into claims of error on
any and all platforms on which the Star publishes. The Star corrects
significant errors of fact. When we determine a correction is called
for, it will be published as soon as possible; the article will also
be corrected online and a correction appended. Generally, news
corrections are published on page A2 and corrections for other
sections (including Sports, Entertainment and Life) are published in
those sections. Corrections are also published online:
https://www.thestar.com/
Because many readers often point out the same error, we cannot notify
each person that we are publishing a correction. As well, because of
the volume of queries we receive, we are not always able to respond to
explain why we determined no correction is necessary. Every query
about a possible error is considered thoroughly however. We thank all
readers who take the time to help the Star report accurately.
Unpublishing: Generally, the Star does not delete (unpublish) content
from our websites or archives, except in some rare circumstances
following consultation with the editor-in-chief, managing editor, and
in some cases, legal counsel. In the case of verified errors, we will
correct/update the article and/or append corrections as necessary but
will not remove it from the Star' s digital publishing record.
General feedback about coverage: If you are writing to express your
view of the Star's coverage, your message will be forwarded to the
appropriate department. Because of the volume of email we receive,
neither the public editor's office, nor the journalists in specific
departments, can respond to every reader comment about the Star's
coverage.
Letters to the Editor: If you want your comments expressing your view
considered for publication as a Letter to the Editor, please resend
your message to lettertoed@thestar.ca<mailto:l
Letters must include full name, address and all phone numbers of
sender (daytime, evening and cellphone). Street names and phone
numbers will not be published. The Star reserves the right to edit
letters, which typically run 50-150 words. Please note: The Star
receives many more letters than it has space to print. Due to the
volume, we unfortunately cannot acknowledge every submission.
Submissions to the Star: Commentaries, opinion pieces, story pitches
and press releases should be submitted to the section of the Star to
which they are best suited. A full list of departments is published on
the "Contact Us" page of the Star's website:
https://www.thestar.com/about/
How to reach a Star journalist: Most staff members, including
reporters, editors, columnists and photographers, can be reached by
email. In most cases the email address follows this formula (all lower
case, don't type spaces or the plus sign): first initial + last name
@thestar.ca. You can also reach staff in the Editorial department
(newsroom) via phone at 416-869-4300 or fax at 416-869-4328. Editorial
staff members can also be contacted within the department they work
for. To reach a freelance writer, please contact the section in which
his or her article appeared.
Subscriptions/Customer Service: The public editor's office handles
concerns about editorial content only. For home delivery
subscriptions, delivery problems, billing inquiries and other customer
service matters, please email

The appearance of normalcy in Portapique region should not be confused
with the absence of lingering trauma, according to Colchester North
MLA Tom Taggart. He was born and raised in Portapique and served as

FRANK MAGAZINE JULY 20, 2022
THE LOCKYER FACTOR
by Paul Palango
If you haven’t already noticed, something truly strange happened on
the road to finding the truth about what actually happened before,
during and after the Nova Scotia massacres of April 18 and 19, 2020.
Lisa Banfield and her $1,200-an-hour lawyer, James Lockyer, appear to
have been controlling the show from the very beginning. The Lockyer
factor as a not-so-hidden influencer on the news is important to
address.
On April 19, 2020, just hours after Lisa Banfield arrived at the door
of Leon Joudrey, she contacted lawyer Kevin von Bargen in Toronto to
seek advice and help. The lawyer, a friend of Wortman and Banfield,
put her onto James Lockyer.
From that moment forward, her every word has been treated as gospel.
By the RCMP, by the Mass Casualty Commission, and by the compliant
media. Even those who believe her to have been a victim of domestic
violence at the hands of Gabriel Wortman (and she clearly was), but
also believe she might know more than she’s letting on — and that what
she knows might be important to the inquiry’s purported fact-finding
mission — have been dismissed as cranks and conspiracists.
According to financial documents released by the inquiry after Lisa
Banfield’s dramatic “testimony” on July 15, Banfield reported earnings
of $15,288 one recent year.
That would cover a day, plus HST, of Lockyer’s valuable time.
He has been on the clock for 27 months or so, his fees covered by
taxpayers through the Mass Casualty Commission.
Banfield’s finances, such as they are, would have been a juicy subject
for any curious lawyer, but she wasn’t allowed to be cross examined.
Too traumatic, remember.
Questions abound.
Why did Banfield hire an esteemed criminal lawyer? Did no one let her
in on her status as a victim?
Lockyer seems like an exotic choice. He made his name from the early
‘90s onward representing men wrongly convicted of murder, such as
Stephen Truscott, David Milgaard, Robert Baltovich and Guy Paul Morin.
Morin was falsely accused of killing 9-year-old Christine Jessop in
Queensville, Ontario, near Toronto.
I was the city editor at the Globe and Mail then. I was intimately
involved in the story which was being covered by one of our reporters,
Kirk Makin. I even at one point had a meeting with Makin and Morin’s
mother, who protested his innocence. At the time I was wrongly unmoved
and skeptical of her story, but Makin persisted in digging into it and
worked closely with Lockyer. Morin was eventually exonerated. Kudos to
all. I hope I got smarter after that.
Lockyer, who lived a block away from me in Toronto, went on to become
a champion of the wrongly convicted and started the Innocence Project
to work on their behalf. Among his many clients was Rubin (Hurricane)
Carter, the former boxer who was wrongly convicted of three murders in
Paterson, NJ and was the inspiration for the 1976 Bob Dylan epic
Hurricane.
In recent years, Lockyer and his Innocence Project became involved in
the case of Nova Scotia’s Glenn Assoun, who was wrongly convicted in
1999 of murdering Brenda Way in Dartmouth four years earlier.
Lockyer worked along with lawyers Sean MacDonald and Phil Campbell to
have Assoun’s conviction overturned after he had spent 17 years in
prison. In the final years of that campaign an activist reporter named
Tim Bousquet took on the Assoun case and wrote about it extensively
for years, channeling and publicizing what the lawyers and their
investigators had uncovered. To his credit Bousquet uncovered some
things on his own.
Perhaps the biggest revelation in the Assoun case was that the RCMP
had destroyed evidence and had mislead the courts about Assoun.
Bousquet joined with the CBC in 2020 and produced a radio series, Dead
Wrong, about the case. As Canadians should know well by now, both the
federal and Nova Scotia governments ignored what the Mounties were
caught doing.
Fast forward to the Nova Scotia massacres and the news coverage of it.
As I wrote in my recent book, 22 Murders: Investigating the Massacres,
Cover-up and Obstacles to Justice In Nova Scotia, I had a brief fling
with Bousquet and his on-line newspaper, The Halifax Examiner, in
2020.
After publishing an opening salvo in Maclean’s magazine in May 2020, I
couldn’t find anyone else interested in my reporting, which challenged
the official narrative. Maclean’s writer Stephen Maher introduced me
to Bousquet. I knew nothing about either him or the Halifax Examiner.
Over the next several weeks, Bousquet published five of my pieces and
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Examiner punched well
above its weight. Its stories were being picked up and read across the
country. Although I had never met the gruff and the usually
difficult-to-reach Bousquet, I thought we had a mutual interest in
keeping the story alive as the mainstream media was losing interest in
it and were moving on. At first blush, Bousquet seemed like a true,
objective journalist determined to find the truth. Hell, I was even
prepared to work for nothing, just to get the story out.
“I have to pay you, man,” he insisted in one phone call.
I felt badly taking money from him. I had no idea what his company’s
financial situation might be, and I didn’t want to break the bank. He
said he could pay me $300 or so per story and asked me to submit an
invoice, which I did.
Soon afterward, a cheque for $1500 arrived. I cashed it and then my
wife Sharon and I sent him $500 each in after tax money as a donation.
Like I said, I didn’t want to be a drag on the Examiner.
Once we made the donations, Bousquet all but ghosted me. He was always
too busy to take my calls or field my pitches. I couldn’t tell if I
was being cancelled or had been conned.
I began to replay events in my head and the one thing that leapt out
to me was Bousquet’s defensive and even dismissive reaction to two
threads I thought were important and newsworthy which I wanted to
write about.
One was the politically sensitive issue of writing objectively about
all the women in the story. There were female victims who had slept
with Wortman, which I though was contextually important in
understanding the larger story. Bousquet had made it clear that he
wasn’t eager for me to write about that. (Be trauma informed!-ed.)
There was also the fact that female police officers were at the
intersection of almost every major event that terrible weekend. The
commanding officer was Leona (Lee) Bergerman. Chief Superintendent
Janis Gray was in charge of the RCMP in Halifax County. Inspector
Dustine Rodier ran the communications centre. It was a long list that
will continue to grow.
I believe in equal pay for work of equal value but that comes with
equal accountability for all. I am gender neutral when evaluating
performance.
But it didn’t take psychic powers to detect that gender politics was a
big issue with Bousquet – his target market, as it were.
I really wanted to write about Banfield. My preliminary research
strongly suggested to me her story was riddled with weakness and
inconsistency, but nobody in the mainstream media would tackle it.
Hell, for months her name wasn’t even published anywhere outside the
pages of Frank magazine.
Bousquet’s position was that Banfield was a victim of domestic
violence and that her story, via vague, second-hand and untested RCMP
statements, was to be believed. No questions asked.
“You’re going to need something really big to convince me otherwise,”
Bousquet said in one of our brief conversations.
Afterward, I did have one face-to-face meeting with him in Halifax. He
actually sat in the back seat of our car because Sharon was in the
front. We met up because I wanted to tell him about sensitive leads I
had which, if pursued, would show that the RCMP had the ability to
manipulate its records and destroy evidence in its PROs reporting
system.
Considering his involvement in the Assoun case, where that very issue
was at the heart of Assoun’s exoneration, I thought Bousquet would be
eager to pursue the story.
As I looked at him in the rearview mirror, I could sense his
discomfort and lack of interest. So could Sharon who was sitting
beside me.
“That was weird,” she said.
Bousquet got out of the car, walked away and disappeared me for good.
It was all so inexplicable. If this was the new journalism that I was
experiencing, there was something terribly wrong with it. I couldn’t
believe that a journalist like Bousquet who aspired to be a
truthteller felt compelled to distill every word or nuance through a
political filter first or even something more nefarious.
Later, while writing for Frank Magazine, I broke story after story
about the case. Incontrovertible documents showing that the RCMP was
destroying evidence in the Wortman case. The Pictou County Public
Safety channel recordings showing for the first time what the RCMP was
doing on the ground during the early morning hours of April 19. The
911 tapes. The Enfield Big Stop videos. That Lisa Banfield lied in
small claims court on two different occasions.
Bousquet either ignored or ridiculed most of those stories in the
Halifax Examiner or on his Twitter feed, as if I were making the
stories up.
For the most part throughout 2021, the Halifax Examiner didn’t even
bother covering the larger story. There was no discernible legwork or
energy being expended on it. And regarding the stories he did publish,
I began to see a pattern. Naïve readers might have thought that he was
digging for new stories when in fact the Examiner was merely mining
court documents and uncritically reporting what resided therein. It
was all stenography, straight from the mouths of the RCMP and the MCC.
Time and time again, “new” stories would be published which were
essentially no different from previous ones but all with the same
theme: as Ray Davies of the Kinks put it in his masterpiece Sunny
Afternoon: “Tales of drunkenness and cruelty.”
The Monster and the Maiden stories, as I called them, reinforced in
readers' minds that Banfield was a helpless victim controlled by a
demonic Wortman, a narrative that, upon reflection, seemed to
perfectly suit Lockyer’s strategy.
For 27 months the RCMP and the Mass Casualty Commission played along,
sheltering Banfield as part of their “trauma-informed” mandate, even
though there was plenty to be skeptical about her story.
Banfield was beside Wortman for 19 years during which he committed
crime after crime. She was reportedly the last person to be with
Wortman and her incredible, hoary tale of escape should have been
enough to raise suspicions about her.
From the moment she knocked on Leon Joudrey’s door she has been
treated as a victim, which to this day astounds law enforcement
experts and others who have monitored the case. Many observers,
including but not limited to lawyers representing the families of the
victims, have serious questions about how Banfield spent the overnight
hours of April 18/19. Not helping matters is that she doesn’t appear
to have been subjected to any level of normal criminal investigation
or evidence gathering. Her clothing wasn’t tested. There were no
gunshot residue tests. She wasn’t subjected to a polygraph or any
other credible investigative procedure.
Enter James Lockyer of the Innocence Project.
The puppetification of Tim Bousquet
As we moved closer to July 15, the day that Banfield would be
“testifying” at the MCC, it is also important to consider what
Bousquet and his minions were doing at the Halifax Examiner.
In the weeks and days leading up to Banfield’s appearance, the
Examiner’s reporting and Bousquet’s Twitter commentary began to take
on an illogical, more contemptuous and even hostile approach to anyone
who refused to buy into the RCMP and Banfield’s official version of
events.
In a series of hilariously one-sided diatribes, Bousquet lashed out at
Banfield’s critics whom he wouldn’t name. Some (likely us) were
“bad-faith actors.” He decried the “witchification” of Banfield.
He tweeted: “And just to repeat for the 1000th time: I’ve read
transcripts of interviews with dozens of people. I’ve read three
years’ of emails between Banfield and GW. I’ve read her Notes app.
There is ZERO evidence that she had any prior knowledge (of) GW’s
intent to kill people…. The notion that she is ‘complicit’ is pulled
out of people’s diarrhetic asses and plain old-fashioned misogyny.”
Oh, misogyny, that old woke slimeball to be hurled at any male who
dare be critical of any female.
One can’t help but sense the deft hand of a clever and experienced
defence lawyer running up the back of Bousquet’s shirt. That makes
sense.
Look at what has transpired on Lockyer’s watch.
Since April 2020, the RCMP and the federal and provincial governments
have wrapped themselves in a single, vague and inappropriate platitude
– trauma informed.
The original selling point was that this approach would prevent the
surviving family members from being further traumatized by the ongoing
“investigation” into the massacres.
What actually happened is much more sinister.
Lisa Banfield was coddled and protected the entire time not only by
the authorities but also by Lockyer’s friends in the mass media. The
wily old fox had the opportunity to mainline his thoughts into the
Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star, the CBC, CTV and Global News who
unquestioningly lapped it up.
At the MCC, Banfield wasn’t allowed to be cross examined because, as
Mr. Lockyer so eloquently explained, cross examination would just lead
to more conspiracy theories.
That’s rich.
The search for the truth will only confuse matters -- it’s better for
everyone that Banfield spin a much-rehearsed tale without challenge.
That’s clearly a $1,200-an-hour lawyer speaking.
The whole world has gone topsy-turvy. The Mass Casualty Commission,
the federal and provincial governments, the RCMP and Lisa Banfield are
now aligned on one side of the argument.
Meanwhile, the re-traumatized families find themselves agreeing with
this magazine and other skeptics and critics.
The final irony is that the Halifax Examiner bills itself as being
“independent” and “adversarial.” It seems to be neither these days.
In the end, Tim Bousquet’s approach to covering the Nova Scotia
Massacres is, to use his words: “Dead Wrong.”

Investigative reporter and author Paul Palango says RCMP memo points to destruction of evidence in Nova Scotia shootings
Editor’s note:
On April 18–19, 2020, Gabriel Wortman committed multiple shootings and set fires at 16 locations in the Nova Scotia, killing 22 people and injuring three others before he was shot and killed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in Enfield. The attacks are the deadliest rampage in Canadian history, exceeding the 1989 École Polytechnique massacre in Montreal, where 14 women were killed. On May 1, in the wake of the attacks, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, following through on a 2019 campaign promise, announced an immediate ban on some 1,500 makes and models of "military-grade assault-style" weapons, including the types used in the attacks. For part of the 13-hour crime spree, Wortman impersonated a police officer by driving a replica RCMP car and wearing a RCMP uniform.
Wortman obtained several firearms illegally without a possession and acquisition licence. On December 4, three people, including Wortman's spouse, were charged with supplying him with ammunition later used in the attacks.
During the incident, the RCMP failed use the Alert Ready to warn the public about the attacks, as well as not responding to reports of Wortman's behaviour and previous acts of domestic violence. An investigation into law enforcement's response to the rampage, including the decision not to use Alert Ready, is underway. A public inquiry into the law enforcement response was declared on July 28 following escalating criticism of the investigation's lack of transparency.
Paul Palango is a former national editor of The Globe and Mail responsible for investigative reporting. He has written three books on the RCMP. Ottawa Life Magazine will publish Palango’s articles on matters related to the shootings and the conduct of the RCMP before, during and after the incident.
Palango believes the Mountie’s are hiding “explosive” information relating to the gunman’s case.
He questions why the RCMP have issued an internal order to stop destroying evidence in the case, which is illegal and further brings into question the very competency of the RCMP itself. It should be noted that Palango’s reporting comes less than two weeks after a scathing report on sexual harassment in the RCMP by former Supreme Court of Canada Justice Michel Bastarache found that at least 130 women in the RCMP had been raped by other officers.
MONTHS TOO LATE?
RCMP orders moratorium on Wortman evidence destruction in October
By Paul Palango
The RCMP issued an order seven weeks ago to its members involved in the investigation in the Nova Scotia massacres to stop destroying evidence in the case, according to internal RCMP documents obtained by Frank magazine.
The trigger for the moratorium on destruction of evidence appears to be a Canada Labour Code investigation undertaken byEmployment and Social Development Canada into the matter.
The four-page document is dated October 15, 2020. It appears to come from an internal RCMP web page and is headlined: “MD-218 – Moratorium on the destruction of information involving Gabriel Wortman pertaining to the investigation of the mass shooting in Nova Scotia on 2020-04-18 and 2020-04-19”. The URL for the web page is: http://infoweb.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/manuals-mauels/national/moratorium-moratoire/md-218 (Editors note: the URL is no longer working).
The last bit of information is missing from the photocopy.
The document first was sent anonymously to Little Grey Cells, aYou Tube channel, which operates out of Alberta. The show’s host, Seamus Gorman, has been discussing it for the past few days in his broadcasts as part of a group called The Discord. It is comprised of 380 citizen investigators who have banded together since the massacre to dig up information.
The timing and wording of the memorandum strongly suggests that the RCMP has been destroying documents and data in the case. Since May, multiple anonymous sources close to the investigation have suggested the RCMP was destroying or altering paper and electronic evidence. This has previously been reported in the Halifax Examiner and on the Halifax talk show hosted by Rick Howe. The RCMP has not commented on the allegations to date.
The order commands the RCMP to collect, protect and retain every kind of evidence in the case, including paper documents, electronic data, 911 calls and radio communications.
To date the RCMP has resisted releasing any information or answering any questions about what it did and didn’t do before, during and after the shootings on April 18 and 19.
In the new documents the RCMP is ordered to collect and retain “all records, documents, and information pertaining to communications and dealings with Gabriel Wortman, and all occurrences linked or related to Gabriel Wortman, including intelligence reports, citizen reports, calls for service and occurrence reports.”
The RCMP has been told to collect and retain “all occurrence reports, briefing notes, SITreps, taskings and regular members’ notes of the incidents, including notes or regular members who responded from ‘H’ Division,” which is Nova Scotia.
The directive makes it clear that a focus of the investigation is the murder by Wortman of Constable Heidi Stevenson and the shooting of Constable Chad Morrison near Shubenacadie on April 19. Although Wortman had already killed 19 people before he got to Shubenacadie that Sunday morning, Stevenson and Morrison were travelling alone in their marked cruisers when they each came upon Wortman.
The protection order applies to “All medical, employment and training files of Const. Heidi Stevenson, Const. Chad Morrison and other individuals injured or involved.”
In the past there have been unproven allegations that Stevenson had some sort of conflict with a superior in her previous post at Cole Harbour and had been transferred to Enfield, north of Halifax Airport, shortly before her death.
After the shooting of three Mounties in Moncton onJune 4, 2014, a Canada Labour Code investigation found the RCMP liable and a judge later fined the force $540,000. Among other things, the RCMP was blamed for its lax supervision, poor communications and inadequate training and equipment. The murdered officers were virtual sitting ducks for killer Justin Bourque who was armed with a high-powered rifle. Prior to the shootings the RCMP had promised to upgrade weaponry for police but did not. After the fine was issued, the force provided Colt C-8 rifles, an upgrade to the AR-15 semi-automatic, to its patrol officers.
In recent months, a current RCMP member has been quoted on numerous occasions in the Halifax Examiner and elsewhere as saying that the RCMP was attempting to “pasteurize” the evidence in the case. The member said there are ways the force can alter electronic files and data, "or even make it disappear.”
Another current member said in an interview that the biggest problem from a public interest point of view is that the RCMP data management system, known by its acronym PROS, can be manipulated by senior officers.
“There has never been an audit conducted on the integrity of data in the PROS system,” the ranking officer said. “The force has had six months to play with the evidence. Now, these investigators aren’t going to take ‘the dog ate my homework’ for an answer. They will demand answers to their questions.”
A third former RCMP officer who is familiar with the current inner workings of the force said this in an interview: “This is the nightmare for the force that I’ve been expecting. They have been doing everything they can to hide information. They have likely trying to scrub the database to get rid of anything incriminating.”
Among the issues that are potentially embarrassing for the force:
- The chain of command that weekend. Did the RCMP follow its rules and procedures manual?
- The lack of a public alert. Who made that decision? Why?
- The fact that only a handful of Mounties were assigned to the original crime scene. There are almost 1,000 RCMP officers in the province in various capacities. Were they called out? If not, why not? If so, how many refused to attend?
- Why were nearby municipal police forces in Truro, Amherst, and Halifax, among others, not called in for assistance or adequately warned about the dangers?
- Why did the RCMP call for help from the New Brunswick RCMP when it had clearly not exhausted all its resources in Nova Scotia?
- Why did the RCMP not employ a helicopter in its search and containment efforts?
- The possible relationship between Wortman and the RCMP, or other police forces associated with the RCMP. Was he or anyone in his circle a confidential informant, police agent or auxiliary police?
All these questions and more are being asked as part of the Labour Code investigation. The RCMP has appointed Erika Lathem in the Criminal Operations office at the force’s Nova Scotia headquarters as co-ordinator for all information.
Detailed questions put to the RCMP this morning, which have thus far gone unanswered, include:
- Why would the publication of a document such as this be necessary at all? Would it generally be regular practice for the RCMP to destroy evidence related to the largest mass-shooting in Canadian history?
- If the publication of such a document was necessary, why would it be published at such a late date, six months after the mass-shooting incident?
- Was any evidence relating to Gabriel Wortman and the mass-shooting ordered destroyed prior to October 15/20? If so, why, and who gave the orders?
- To your knowledge, was any evidence inadvertently or mistakenly destroyed prior to October 15/20?
- To your knowledge, how much evidence will not be able to be presented at the inquiry or in the various lawsuits, or in the Labour Code investigation because it has been destroyed, either inadvertently or on purpose?
