RCMP warn against vigilantism as they investigate series of Deer Island incidents
Retired
Mountie and former labour representative Gilles Blinn said he
understands the frustration of Deer Island residents over the loss of
their resident officer, but there are two sides to every story. (Submitted by Gilles Blinn)
Gilles Blinn falsely arrested me in 2008 and the corrupt cops' best friend Chucky Leblanc was quick to announce it in his blog. However he was quick to change his tune about the cops many times since then.
Alleged vigilantism on Deer Island 'done out of desperation,' says local MLA

Conrad Cline says he’s one of several residents on Deer Island, N.B.
who’ve recently had something stolen.
“People in general are just fed up,” says Cline.
A fuel tank, some fuel, and other supplies were recently taken from
Cline’s rescue boat.
“I have it all identified and ready to do search and rescues,” says
Cline, who’s been a volunteer with the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary
for over 30 years.

Charles LeBlanc, Fredericton's bums, shale gas and Alberta taxpayers There is a layabout in Fredericton, New Brunswick named Charles LeBlanc. He has been on social assistance for decades, because he has ADHD, he is a mental defective. He has a rather silly, inaccurate and mis-spelled blog.
Mr. LeBlanc has an extensive criminal history, and is well known by New Brunswick RCMP and the Fredericton Police Force. In fact in Charle's blog he claims that Fredericton's Police, New Brunswick RCMP and the Liberal Party of New Brunswick have attempted to kill him and continue to try and do so, even now. Charles LeBlanc and his associate David Raymond Amos also of Fredericton are banned from the New Brunswick Legislature.
Here in Alberta people like Charles Leblanc work, they make a contribution. Or they are forced to move to BC. These folks receive assistance, support and encouragement, but they work. There is honour and self esteem in work. But alas Charles LeBlanc pocesses none of those things.
Last week-end there was a fire in Fredericton, a very old, historic building that contained a cafe / bar, and an upstairs rear entranced rooming house. Charles LeBlanc some years ago lived in this rooming house. One night last week-end while Charles was drinking away his social assisatnce cheque and taking his meds for ADHD, the rooming house and bar burnt to the ground.
He was walking home and he happened upon the fire while intoxicated, and was appearantly"overwhelmed" by both the fire burning his former abode, but also by the "plight" of the twenty-seven(?) roomers all on social assistance and substance abusers. These "people" Charles reported are "freaked out", have lost everything they owned, which reportedly is nothing at all.
The City of Fredericton's police, fire and social workers all responded magnificently. The bums were all housed in a well known local motel, indeed well looked after. In fact, the fire that was in the early hours of Sunday morning, by Tuesday and Wednesday cheques were both cut and issued to the indigents who roomed in the building that burned.
Local special interest or activist groups were looking for longterm housing for the bums as is quite right, afterall that is their job and responsiblity. So now is the race is on, for these NGOs to get these folks situated with housing before they spend all their money on booze and drugs.
Now our "friend" Charles waxes poetic, and pontificates about the need to keep the folks from the booze and drugs on his blog. But Charles cheats the taxpayers of New Brunswick and Canada by using the money allocated for him to have food, to drink and do dope, to frequent the bars
Our "pal" Charles hits every soup kitchen, community dinner daily, and hit functions he not invited to, to cadge a free meal. Mr. LeBlanc was availing himself of the food, meals and ammenities being offered to the fire victims. Its a "great gig if you can get it!"
New Brunswick and five other Canadian Provinces can not, and do not pay for all of their own government programmes, or social services. That is why Canada has the 15.7 billion dollar (last year) "equalization programme." New Brunswick's Premier David Alward went to Ottawa last year to beg Prime Minister Harper NOT to reform the "equalization programme" nor decrease New Brunswick's access to the trough.
As of this week the Stephan Harper government has announced studies have been made with an eye to "make substancial changes to the 15.4 billion dollar federal equalization programme, that could dramatically effect the transfers sent to the provinces and their ability to pay for programmes and services."
I guess the taxpayers of Alberta, BC, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador are tired of paying for folks like Charles LeBlanc's "little scam," he calls a life.
But this goes farther with New Brunswick. The economic "game changer" is Shale Gas. A number of New Brunswickers are "concerned" about the "unknown effects" of Shale Gas on their enivironment. But these same people do NOT care if their society, and government continue to be supported by the taxpayers of four provinces in Canada.
Many New Brunswickers and Charles Leblanc are "happy warriors" fighting to keep themselves and New Brunswick as the "ultimate welfare state."
So what just what is the difference betwixt the addicts, and drunks that lost their government paid rooming house abodes by fire....And the welfare province of New Brunswick trying to maintain their position at the welfare equalization trough, by not developing Shale Gas?
Both these groups of parasites behave just like Charles LeBlanc.
The apple does not fall too far from the tree.

'You are not a leader': RCMP boss's testimony about Moncton shootings inflames corporal Friend of 3 slain Mounties lashes out at RCMP commissioner after feeling betrayed at trial By Gabrielle Fahmy, CBC News Posted: Jun 22, 2017 6:00 AM AT
"When asked by the Crown last week why he wanted to testify, Paulson said it was because as the commissioner, he was accountable for his members.
But when prosecutor Paul Adams asked him if he was then ready to accept responsibility for the death of three officers, Paulson replied "no."
Bouchard said he felt almost physically ill when he heard Paulson's statement. He calls it "a tough pill to swallow."

If you don't wish to speak to me before I begin litigation then I suspect the Integrity Commissioner New Brunswick or the Federal Crown Counsel can explain the email below and the documents hereto attached to you and your Premier etc.
After I heard you speak on CBC I called your office again and managed to speak to one of your staff for the first time
Please find attached the documents I promised to send to the lady who answered the phone this morning. Please notice that not after the Sgt at Arms took the documents destined to your office his pal Tanker Malley barred me in writing with an "English" only document.
These are the hearings and the dockets in Federal Court that I suggested that you study closely.
This Judge understnds the meaning of the word Integrity
Date: 20151223
Docket: T-1557-15
Fredericton, New Brunswick, December 23, 2015
PRESENT: The Honourable Mr. Justice Bell
BETWEEN:
DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
Plaintiff
and
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
Defendant
ORDER
(Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on December 14, 2015)
The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November 12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim in its entirety.
At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg, (now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal). In that letter he stated:
As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you. You are your brother’s keeper.
Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore; former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al, [1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.
AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion. There is no order as to costs.
“B. Richard Bell” Judge
Below after the CBC article about your concerns (I made one comment already) you will find the text of just two of many emails I had sent to your office over the years since I first visited it in 2006.
I noticed that on July 30, 2009, he was appointed to the the Court Martial Appeal Court of Canada Perhaps you should scroll to the bottom of this email ASAP and read the entire Paragraph 83 of my lawsuit now before the Federal Court of Canada?
"FYI This is the text of the lawsuit that should interest Trudeau the most
83 The Plaintiff states that now that Canada is involved in more war in Iraq again it did not serve Canadian interests and reputation to allow Barry Winters to publish the following words three times over five years after he began his bragging:
January 13, 2015 This Is Just AS Relevant Now As When I wrote It During The Debate
December 8, 2014 Why Canada Stood Tall!
Friday, October 3, 2014 Little David Amos’ “True History Of War” Canadian Airstrikes And Stupid Justin Trudeau?
Vertias Vincit David Raymond Amos 902 800 0369
P.S. Whereas this CBC article is about your opinion of the actions of the latest Minister Of Health trust that Mr Boudreau and the CBC have had my files for many years and the last thing they are is ethical. Ask his friends Mr Murphy and the RCMP if you don't believe me.
This will acknowledge receipt of a copy of your e-mail of December 29, 2006 to Corporal Warren McBeath of the RCMP.
Because of the nature of the allegations made in your message, I have taken the measure of forwarding a copy to Assistant Commissioner Steve Graham of the RCMP “J” Division in Fredericton.
Thank you for your follow up e-mail to me today. I was on days off over the holidays and returned to work this evening. Rest assured I was not ignoring or procrastinating to respond to your concerns.
As your attachment sent today refers from Premier Graham, our position is clear on your dead calf issue: Our forensic labs do not process testing on animals in cases such as yours, they are referred to the Atlantic Veterinary College in Charlottetown who can provide these services. If you do not choose to utilize their expertise in this instance, then that is your decision and nothing more can be done.
As for your other concerns regarding the US Government, false imprisonment and Federal Court Dates in the US, etc... it is clear that Federal authorities are aware of your concerns both in Canada the US. These issues do not fall into the purvue of Detachment and policing in Petitcodiac, NB.
It was indeed an interesting and informative conversation we had on December 23rd, and I wish you well in all of your future endeavors.

Retired
Mountie and former labour representative Gilles Blinn said he
understands the frustration of Deer Island residents over the loss of
their resident officer, but there are two sides to every story. (Submitted by Gilles Blinn)
A former New Brunswick Mountie says the reason RCMP are no longer based on Deer Island is officer safety.
Blinn retired as a staff sergeant in 2018, after serving 31 years, including eight as a labour representative.
He says he pointed out to RCMP at the time that he believed they could be criminally charged under the Canada Labour Code for putting the Deer Island Mountie's life at risk.
"One-member posts are not safe," said Blinn.
"It's
all fine and dandy when everything's good, but when somebody wants to
do harm to a member, that member doesn't have any backup that's readily
available," he said.
Backup should be less than an hour away, said Blinn, "because when you're in a fight for your life, an hour, you're dead."
Officer backup a ferry ride away
The
lone Deer Island officer's situation was particularly troublesome,
according to Blinn. The officer worked out of their home, without a
police station or jail cells, and their closest backup was a ferry ride
away in St. George, which "adds a layer of complexity that's unsafe," he
said.
It takes about 20 minutes to drive from St.
George to Letete to catch the ferry to Deer Island. The crossing takes
about 20 minutes, according to the Department of Transportation's
website. And the ferry from the mainland stops running between 10:30
p.m. and 6:30 a.m.
"It's
nice to have [a resident officer] for the community, but it's not safe
for the member," said Blinn. "So that's why we [the labour
representatives] didn't want a member there."
"It was my
job to protect … the member that was there, and secondly to protect
management from themselves because if something happened to that member,
they could face a charge."
RCMP Constables Fabrice Gevaudan,
Doug Larche and Dave Ross were killed. Two more officers were shot but
survived. The national force was ordered to pay a penalty of $550,000.
Blinn
contends Deer Island wasn't safe for an officer alone years ago, and is
even less so today because policing in general has become more
dangerous, he said, citing increased drug use that makes people
unpredictable and a growing "anti-police sentiment" across North America
as examples.

abandoned residence RCMP say was destroyed by a suspicious fire Tuesday
night is located at the end of Deer Island, opposite where the ferry
from Letete lands. (Roger Cosman/CBC)
"If
I was a supervisor, no way in hell I would ever allow that," said
Blinn, who worries "a lot" about his twin 28-year-old sons and two
sons-in-law who all work for the RCMP.
"If the call is
serious enough to go, you should go two members [because] one, you can
get in trouble really fast, and you can be incapacitated really quick.
And then you're you're just praying for the best."
He
recalled working alone on occasion at his first post in Minto in 1988.
"It's a bad feeling to be alone … and you're in the middle of nowhere."
Police also had fewer tools then — only handcuffs and a gun, no pepper
spray or Tasers.
He got in "a few tussles" and is still here to talk about it.
"But it could have turned the other way too," he said. "You don't know what you're going to, never."
A
car was heavily damaged by a group of people at the ferry terminal
Tuesday around 11 p.m., an abandoned residence was destroyed in a
suspicious fire about an hour later, and on Wednesday morning, some fuel
was reported stolen from the ferry terminal.
Some
residents have suggested they took matters into their own hands after a
rash of overnight thefts, allegedly by people who use drugs and visit
the island on the last ferry of the night, making it even harder for St.
George RCMP to respond.
Would need 3 officers, not feasible
According
to Blinn, Deer Island would need at least three officers to be able
cover when one is off-duty, on vacation, or away on training.
But the call volume on the island doesn't make that feasible, he said.
Blinn estimates it costs $150,000 to $170,000 to staff one constable position, including salary, benefits and vehicle.
And resources are limited, given retirements and fewer young people choosing to go into policing, he said.
Gilles
Blinn worked for the RCMP for 31 years in Minto, Oromocto and
Fredericton, in highway patrol, drugs, customs and excise, as a violent
crimes linkage analyst, and a labour representative before he retired in
2018. (Submitted by Gilles Blinn)
People
who live in remote areas can't expect 24/7 policing, and RCMP have to
prioritize serious crimes, such as homicides, over "petty crimes," such
as thefts.
"It's not petty to you if someone steals your stuff, right? And I understand that."
Blinn admits he
doesn't know what the solution is for Deer Island and wishes he did. He
believes it's a multi-faceted problem ranging from the cost of living,
to addictions, and the courts not being hard enough on criminals —
issues police alone cannot solve.
More sporadic patrols of the
island by St. George RCMP might help, he said. But he believes would-be
criminals will know when officers are on the ferry and "stay low" until
they leave.
He does recommend residents try to focus on prevention. "Lock your stuff up."
Province 'aware rural crime is an issue'
New Brunswick RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Stéphane Esculier did not provide an interview or update about Deer Island on Friday.
Public Safety Minister Kris Austin is on vacation and unavailable, said department spokesperson Geoffrey Downey.
"The
government is aware rural crime is an issue, that's why we invested in
addressing crime on multiple fronts in the last budget," Downey said in
an emailed statement, without elaborating.
"While the department
meets with the RCMP on a regular basis to get an update on the work
being done to fill the positions, questions about hiring and where the
officers will be stationed should be directed to the RCMP," Downey said.
Pat
Bouchard, director of the Atlantic/central region for the National
Police Federation, which represents about 20,000 RCMP members across
Canada, did not respond to a request for an interview.
I must say after the conversations I had today
on this topic my opinion that we get the governments we deserve has been
reaffirmed
David Amos
Perhaps the folks on Deer Island should sue the
RCMP for ignoring their contract and failing to act within the scope of
their employment

What else can you say other than the RCMP are
an organization that is a total mess & can’t adequately function to
meet the needs of the communities they are suppose to serve. Time to get
the RCMP out of community policing & find a better local
alternative like a local police force.

You can't change the math of 700 people and their taxes
needing to go up a lot to support their own police force
This could have been handled differently but you
cannot have it both ways as far as not wanting to pay high property
taxes but wanting a level of policing not typical for rural Canada.
Philip Burfoot
Reply to Kis Brink
Oh well what’s anyone going to do about any of
it except absolutely nothing till something really major happens. The
RCMP being the only closest police force will only again just drop the
ball again like they did in NS. Not exactly sure how but if you believe
it could’ve been handled differently then send in your suggestions to
the RCMP & see if they agree just don’t expect a satisfactory answer
from them.

Don't sovereign governments take it upon

with a wink-wink in mind. Kind of like saying that you suspect that
house was hit by lightening... Yes, we're not supposed to do it. We get
it. The majority also seem to have learned from Big Business that you
can act and beg for forgiveness later. If CEOs can't get jailed because
they are immune on account of the social benefit they produce then maybe
there's an equivalent in large groups of people doing the same
remotely. It's a problem for a society that leaves people with a
predicament and no solutions.

how to make it safer for their officers because their primary focus
must be on major crimes so good luck out their folks managing petty

It seemed like something that just because police can't
respond iff they aren't there after the ferry stops running it's hard
to understand why they weren't proactive if the pattern was criminals
coming on the last ferry then police being on it too a few times may
have stopped it but that kind of proactive approach didn't happen
so now people who there will be public sympathy for could indeed wind up

No one has mentioned yet that all those small
adjacent communities in Maine seem to have police even though we
apparently can't manage it. Maybe it's time to implement a community
reserve system where volunteers go through training and are given
limited law enforcement authority, similar to the reserve police
officers in neighbouring Maine. They cost less, take less time to train
and are able to stay local, often times coming from the local
communities they protect.

"One-member posts are not safe," said Blinn.
So... It's not ok to have a single RCMP constable on

The
abandoned residence RCMP say was destroyed by a suspicious fire Tuesday
night is located at the end of Deer Island, opposite of where the ferry
from Letete lands. (Roger Cosman/CBC)
For 35 years, Deer Island resident Diane Bustin never locked her doors.
"This place used to be the safest place on the planet to live," she said of the 45-square-kilometre island in the Bay of Fundy.
But for "well over a year" now, the 65-year-old widow says she never goes to bed without locking them.
And she says she's not alone.
The
island's roughly 700 residents have been plagued by thefts, said
Bustin — everything from gasoline and batteries to fishing equipment.
Fishermen have been particularly hard-hit after a disappointing lobster season, she said.
"The
fishermen, work really, really hard for what they have. … And you know,
to have your boats and your equipment stolen is not a fun thing to have
happen when you're going through a rough time.
"And everybody's going through a rough time."
Bustin
and others CBC News has spoken to blame people they allege use drugs
and visit the island at night just as the ferry service shuts down until
morning, when it's even more difficult for RCMP from the St. George
detachment to respond.
RCMP remained at the scene Thursday of the suspicious fire. (Roger Cosman/CBC)
On Wednesday, RCMP issued a statement warning the public against acts of vigilantism
as they investigate a series of incidents on Deer Island that saw a car
heavily damaged by a group of people at the ferry terminal and a
building burned to the ground.
Police "do not condone the public
taking policing matters into their own hands," said spokesperson Cpl.
Stéphane Esculier. It can put them and others at risk, and they could
face charges.
Several officers from the St. George detachment were
on the island Thursday, along with members of the forensic
identification unit and community crime reduction unit.
'Islanders have taken a stand'
Helen
Richardson alerted fellow islanders Tuesday at 11 p.m., when a car
believed to belong to the alleged lawbreakers was spotted on the last
ferry to Deer Island.
"A car full apparently! Be vigilant Islanders," she posted on social media.
A rash of thefts prompted the post, Richardson told CBC.
"The theft has escalated to every night someone is robbed. Gas, batteries, anything they can get their hands on," she said.
RCMP
have cordoned off some tents that are on the property of the abandoned
residence destroyed by fire as they continue their investigation. (Sam Farley/CBC)
The
number of alleged lawbreakers has also increased, according to
Richardson, who noted a "tent encampment" had sprouted on the property
where RCMP say an abandoned residence was destroyed in a suspicious
fire.
"Islanders have taken a stand and told them they are not welcome here," said Richardson.
"I hope everyone can take a lesson from us and stand up and take back our communities."
Alleged vigilantes deserve 'pat on the back'
Bustin said she was "flabbergasted" when she heard about the events and doesn't have any first-hand knowledge of them.
"I just know that they were put on the ferry and told to go back to the mainland and not come back," she said.
As
for the fire at the abandoned residence where the alleged lawbreakers
stayed, Bustin said she heard it was caused by lightning.
If it
was vigilantism by residents frustrated by a lack of on-site policing
and an alleged lack of police action, Bustin doesn't think they should
face any charges.
"If anything, they should get a pat on the back," she said. "I know Deer Islanders are all happy."
The pile of rubble left by the fire appeared to still be smouldering on Thursday morning. (Roger Cosman/CBC)
"You
can just imagine being on this island and — do you know how many old
people live here? And old widows that …know these people are traipsing
around all night long? It's just not comforting.
"And
it's not right that those people just came over here and thought that
they were just going to disrupt this whole little island."
MLA not judging alleged vigilantes
Andrea
Anderson-Mason, the MLA for Fundy-The Isles-Saint John West, said she
doesn't know if the incidents under investigation were vigilantism, but
she believes they were.
For "many months," a growing
number of frustrated residents and business owners have called her
office, concerned about increased criminal activity, particularly
thefts, she said.
"It seems like every day people are
just waking up saying, 'Am I going to have gas [left] today?' or 'What's
going to be stolen out of my yard, or off of my vessel, or off the
wharf?'"
It's a dramatic change from a year ago, when
the most common complaint she received was about speeding motorists,
noted Anderson-Mason.
Andrea
Anderson-Mason, the MLA for Fundy-The Isles-Saint John West, said she
believes Deer Island residents reached a 'point of desperation' and
'took things into their own hands.' (Roger Cosman/CBC)
People also alleged they had contacted the RCMP, but officers didn't seem to be responding, according to the MLA.
She
said she tried to assure them the province has set aside an extra $22
million to hire up to 88 more RCMP or public safety officers
provincewide — albeit none specifically earmarked for Deer Island.
"But we just haven't seen it yet, and the local residents haven't felt it."
"And
I think that what you saw this week in Deer Island was the tipping
point — people just reaching the limit of their frustration and
residents felt like they were not getting the response that they needed
and they took things into their own hands.
"I certainly
don't say that with judgment," added Anderson-Mason, the former minister
of justice and attorney general, who, as a lawyer, has represented a
variety of clients in civil matters both at the Court of Queen's Bench
and the Court of Appeal. "I think that what you actually saw was a point
of desperation."
RCMP should be proactive, not reactive
Islanders
are keeping tight-lipped about what happened, said Anderson-Mason, who
visited on Wednesday. She suspects they aren't "proud that things had to
go the direction that they went."
She doesn't think
it's a true reflection of who islanders are, either, she said.
"Islanders take care of one another and they're some of the most kind,
giving, respectful people that you will ever meet."
The
one thing she did hear from people, she said, is, "'Why now? Why a
significant investigation into what happened when we've been asking for
help for months?"
Residents want to see proactive attention from the RCMP instead of reactive, she said.
It
took 17 volunteer firefighters about four hours to get the fire out and
ensure it didn't spread into the woods, the volunteer fire chief has
said. (Roger Cosman/CBC)
Anderson-Mason contends it's unacceptable Deer Island lost its own policing years ago and thinks a resident Mountie is needed again.
In the meantime, she said she has talked to residents about the possibility of setting up a community watch.
Bustin
said she doesn't know what the solutions are to overnight crime, after
the ferry stops running, when no police are nearby.
"I'm just glad that those hoodlums aren't here anymore. And in my opinion, that's what they were, is hoodlums."
Andrea Anderson-Mason could have done lots to remedy this when she was the Attorney General

RCMP
officers, including members of the forensic identification unit and
community crime reduction unit, are investigating the Deer Island
incidents, said spokesperson Cpl. Stéphane Esculier. (CBC)
RCMP
are warning the public against acts of vigilantism as they investigate a
series of incidents on Deer Island that saw a car heavily damaged by a
group of people and a building burned to the ground.
Police "do
not condone the public taking policing matters into their own hands,"
New Brunswick RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Stéphane Esculier said in a
statement Wednesday.
"Doing this puts themselves and others in
their communities at risk, including someone being seriously injured or
killed, or facing arrest and legal proceedings for their own actions."
The
warning comes as investigators from the St. George detachment are on
Deer Island, with members from specialized units, such a forensic
identification and community crime reduction, on their way, Esculier
told CBC News.
"We're definitely dedicated to conduct the investigation fully."
Started late Tuesday night
The
series of incidents started Tuesday, shortly after 11 p.m., when
RCMP received a report of a disturbance at the ferry terminal on Deer
Island, said Esculier.
A car was "heavily damaged by a group of
unknown individuals" and returned to the mainland. There, St. George
officers spoke to the people whose car was damaged.
About an hour later, police were called about a fire at an "abandoned residence" on the island, Esculier said.
"According to preliminary investigation, it would appear that the fire would be suspicious in nature, most likely criminal."
Then, on Wednesday, around 10:30 a.m., police received a report of a theft of fuel at the ferry terminal on Deer Island.
No officer stationed on island for years
Esculier
could not immediately comment on reports of alleged vigilantism by
local residents over recent thefts, which have included everything from
gas and batteries to fishing equipment and lobsters, according to some
people CBC has spoken to.
It's all part of the
investigation, he said, noting it could be a lengthy one. Anyone with
any information about the incidents can call St. George RCMP or Crime
Stoppers.
Esculier confirmed an RCMP officer used to be
stationed on the island but not for "a few years." Calls are handled by
St. George instead. He could not immediately say why.

It
takes about 20 minutes to drive from St. George to Letete to catch the
ferry to Deer Island. The crossing takes about 20 minutes, according to
the Department of Transportation's website.
Roughly 700 people live on the 45-square-kilometre island.
"Even
if there's no officer present 24 hours a day … there's always RCMP
officers that are in position to respond to urgent priority calls,"
Esculier said.
Asked about the fact the island has no
ferry service between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., he said RCMP can commission
the ferry after-hours, if necessary.
Investigations take time
Esculier
said he understands "there's definitely frustration" about crime rates
in affected communities but said RCMP take all reports of crime
seriously.
"Sometimes investigations take longer than
what the public may believe" they should, he said. But police have
follow a process to gather enough evidence to support any charges.
"We need communities and citizens to work together with us — legally and safely — in order to protect everyone."
Residents 'got fed up ... had enough'
Volunteer
fire Chief Dwayne Richardson said the "back history" is that residents
believe a growing number of people who use drugs, including some who
steal things, come and go from the island.
"This group
of people stands out as problem people, and every time they show up, you
know, there's stuff being stolen from the wharves — whether it's gas
cans, or batteries, or inverters off the vessels," Richardson said. "You
know, it's obvious when they arrive on Deer Island that things are
going missing.
"They felt that they had immunity, either
from the people or from the law. And I guess the people of the island
just got fed up [Tuesday] night and had enough of it."
Firefighters
were called just after midnight Tuesday to a fire at a location where
the alleged lawbreakers stay "intermittently," said Richardson, noting
some tents were also in the yard.
By the time crews arrived, the "old house" was in flames.
"It
was beyond doing, you know, anything with," Richardson said. "So it was
basically just a defensive operation and just keep it from spreading
into the woods."
Seventeen firefighters battled the blaze until just after 4:30 a.m.
The house and small structure behind it both burned to the ground.
Nobody was there at the time, said Richardson.
Island 'a lot different' than it used to be
He
said it was his understanding that the people who normally stay there
were met coming off the ferry about an hour earlier by 30 to 40 local
residents.
The residents had a discussion with them, and
then the ferry, which had stopped running for the night, made an extra
run to return the people to the mainland, according to Richardson.
This is the first [time] in my life that something this drastic's happened.
- Dwyane Richardson, volunteer fire chief and resident
"This is the first [time] in my life that something this drastic's happened," he said.
Richardson, 54, a married father of two grown sons, has lived on Deer Island his whole life.
"Things are a lot different than they used to be when I grew up here and even, you know, when my kids were smaller," he said.
Drugs are "more and more readily available."
"And it's like anything in a small area, you know, everybody knows your business and … who's doing what."
The
lack of onsite policing is a concern for some residents, said
Richardson, who described himself as being among those "frustrated."
"We're
a remote community, you know, with a ferry that runs from six in the
morning till 11 o'clock at night, so if something happens like this, you
know, there's no police readily available," he said.
"I think people want to be treated equally … whether it's policing, or whatever it is."
Luckily we can be more candid than the RCMP
spokesperson. The reason there is not any RCMP presence on the island is
to save money.

"commission" the ferry (if after hours) doesn't really sound like

I think it's funny the RCMP are threatening the citizens
who are fed up by the criminals getting free reign and they didn't stop
the problem.
So now they want to go after the citizens who are making their community safer.

They can only do what the law allows. If you
have a problem with that go talk to Higgs and Feds. I say tougher
penalties. First time caught dealing 8 years.

The ferry shown in article is not the ferry
from Letete to Deere island. It is the ferry that runs from Deere Island
to Campobello Island. The two are vastly different in many ways and
this picture creates a false impression of the actual ferry service to
the island

This likely a case of 'everybody' in town knows
who the criminals are... Except the RCMP? Most drug dens, crack
houses and the criminals who run them are typically known factors within
any community. The police require 'evidence'... And even if they do
have it and arrest the dealers and criminals... They're back on the
street in short-order because our Justice system is failing

If someone steals your car and you happen to
track them down, and they are wearing "work gear" from your car, Police
will not arrest him because you cant prove he stole it! True story;
happened in Moncton

policing in NB and for that matter the rest of Canada is a joke! and the court/justice system is even a bigger joke. basically a lawless society now where people don't feel safe and the criminals have more rights than the victims. so I say good for those people and victims 1, police 0, criminals 0

on April 21, 2020. (Andrew Vaughan/The Canadian Press)
The
union representing RCMP officers in Nova Scotia says its members are
finding it challenging that the force has stopped releasing information
about the April mass shooting, especially as they continue to struggle
with the personal toll of responding to the killing of 22 people,
including their colleague Const. Heidi Stevenson.
On April 18 and
19, a gunman travelled nearly 200 kilometres through rural communities
shooting strangers, neighbours and acquaintances while masquerading as a
Mountie.
Families of the victims are now suing the RCMP and
have questioned whether the force did enough to stop the killer and
warn of the danger. They've also been critical of the amount of
information they've received about their loved ones' deaths. CBC News
and other media organizations have gone to court to unseal search warrant documents in the case.
The
last press conference about the attacks was June 4 and in recent
months, the RCMP has repeatedly declined interviews about its
investigation. In response to media requests, it has sent the same
statement reiterating its commitment to accountability, transparency and
participating in the public inquiry, which it describes as "the most
appropriate and unbiased opportunity" to provide the facts about what
happened.
Brian Sauvé, president of the National Police
Federation, said he wouldn't second-guess the force's decision to stop
releasing information, but acknowledged front-line officers are finding
it hard.
"Our members want closure. Our members want ... to
essentially be vindicated in their actions," said Sauvé, whose
group represents approximately 1,060 RCMP officers stationed in Nova
Scotia.
"I'll say that because from what I've seen, heard, read,
those on the ground — and I'm not talking about command decisions, I'm
talking about those on the ground who've responded to this
incident — acted and worked in an extremely heroic manner with the
resources available to them.
"For membership not to hear the RCMP
support, that is challenging to them. And to wait for an inquiry to have
their day and their say is difficult."
RCMP
Supt. Darren Campbell shows a map tracking the gunman's movements
during the rampage on April 18 and 19 during an April 24 press
conference. Part of the RCMP’s justification for not providing
additional comments about the mass shooting has been their ongoing
investigation into where the shooter’s guns came from and whether he
acted alone. (CBC)
Meanwhile,
the police investigation — which includes looking at where the shooter
obtained his weapons and whether he had help — continues. Two weeks ago,
the RCMP announced three people, including the gunman's spouse, her
brother and brother-in-law, face a charge related to allegedly providing the gunman with ammunition. The Mounties have not answered questions or provided any information beyond a press release.
Individuals
members of the RCMP are not permitted to speak to the media and could
face disciplinary actions by doing so. Several officers declined to
speak to CBC about their experiences in recent months, with some
citing the possible repercussions.
Gilles
Blinn, who retired from the RCMP in New Brunswick in 2018, said he's
frequently in touch with former colleagues in Nova Scotia who are
struggling with criticism of their actions during the mass shooting and
who are frustrated that they can't defend themselves.
"They're far
removed from all the decisions that are made at headquarters in Halifax
and headquarters in Ottawa. They have no say in what's going on ...
it's like they're gagged," Blinn said.
"They feel like they're
not supported at the top. And any manager knows this, that if your
people aren't happy under you, you have bad morale…. I think the morale
is very low in Nova Scotia currently due to the fact that no one is
speaking out on their behalf."

Blinn
spent 31 years with the RCMP, including eight on the staff organization
that preceded the union. For many years, the former staff
sergeant originally from Digby County answered media calls. He'd like to
see the RCMP provide more information that could clear up questions
about how officers responded to one of the country's worst mass
killings in modern history.
"You don't want to hamper your
investigation. You don't want to hamper your upcoming coroner's inquest
or anything else that's going on. And you have to be very diplomatic
into what you're going to say. But there are things that I believe that
they could say to satisfy all parties involved," he said.
Blinn's
son was one of the officers who responded in Portapique on April 18,
though he stressed he couldn't speak to his son's experience and didn't
know exactly what happened that night or the following morning.
During
his time as an RCMP staff sergeant, Gilles Blinn conducted media
interviews on behalf of the force. He retired in 2018 after 31 years. (Submitted by Gilles Blinn)
But many
of the people he knows are also grappling with the horror of what
unfolded, Blinn said. Overall, he said Mounties don't feel supported by
their leadership or the public.
"I know of some that turn to liquor. I know of some that were so traumatized that they've retired," he said.
"The
effects don't happen right away, for some members it'll take
years.... The trauma of seeing all this death and destruction and the
agony of the victims' families, which is what never goes away. You know,
seeing their loved ones pick up the pieces after someone's been killed.
And trust me, I've been there many times, so you never forget it."

'I'm seeing burnout'
The
RCMP offered employees the option of taking leave in the wake of the
shootings. The force said some members took time off but would not
disclose how many as it involves private health information.
Some
employees are performing modified duties and others are on different
types of leave, Cpl. Lisa Croteau said in an email. The RCMP employs
about 1,450 people in the province, though not all are members of the
union.
CBC has confirmed some officers remain off work, in part, because they're dealing with the psychological impact of responding.
Sauvé
said across the board, members have been hurting alongside their
communities in a year that has been particularly challenging for
policing. He said COVID-19 has meant fewer officers are being trained to
fill vacancies, recruitment remains low, and the union is starting collective bargaining after nearly four years without a raise.
On
top of that, protests against policing and police brutality in the U.S.
and Canada have prompted widespread criticism of the profession.
The
fact that officers have taken time to deal with trauma is positive, the
union president said, as it signals an understanding that it's OK to
admit to needing help.
"We don't have to, you know, suck it up
and soldier on any longer.... the RCMP, as well as Canadians, are
starting to realize that trauma affects everybody differently and
recovery from traumatic events can take longer for some than it can for
others," said Sauvé.
"They had to respond to the incident. They've
had to deal with the aftermath and the investigations of that incident,
at the same time grieving the loss of one of their colleagues as well
as some of their friends."

The
union said close to 100 officers travelled to Nova Scotia to help
investigate the shootings and backfill officers who took time off in the
months since the tragedy.
But even still, he said the force is
facing "big morale challenges" exacerbated by COVID-19 and staffing
stretched to the limit. Sauvé said many officers have been denied
vacation time due to operational requirements and have been working "day
in and day out."
"I'm seeing burnout. I am worried about it," said Sauvé.

Thank you for your follow up e-mail to me today. I was on days off
over the holidays and returned to work this evening. Rest assured I
was not ignoring or procrastinating to respond to your concerns.
As your attachment sent today refers from Premier Graham, our position
is clear on your dead calf issue: Our forensic labs do not process
testing on animals in cases such as yours, they are referred to the
Atlantic Veterinary College in Charlottetown who can provide these
services. If you do not choose to utilize their expertise in this
instance, then that is your decision and nothing more can be done.
As for your other concerns regarding the US Government, false
imprisonment and Federal Court Dates in the US, etc... it is clear
that Federal authorities are aware of your concerns both in Canada and
the US. These issues do not fall into the purvue of Detachment
policing in Petitcodiac, NB.
It was indeed an interesting and informative conversation we had on
December 23rd, and I wish you well in all of your future endeavors.
RCMP
Commissioner Brenda Lucki was caught by surprise by New Brunswick's
push to remove the head of J Division in 2021, according to a letter she
wrote to the province's public safety minister. (Adrian Wyld/Canadian Press)
The
head of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police was caught by surprise last
year when the Higgs government asked for the removal of the head of the
force's J Division in New Brunswick.
Commissioner Brenda Lucki
told the province's public safety minister it was "unfortunate" that no
one told her or her senior management team that they had "concerns"
about assistant commissioner Larry Tremblay.
"There
may have been an opportunity to proactively address some of the issues
you've raised," Lucki wrote to then-minister Ted Flemming in a July 29,
2021 letter obtained by CBC News.
Flemming had written to Lucki
two weeks earlier, invoking a section of the province's policing
contract with the RCMP that allowed him to ask the force to replace
Tremblay.

Flemming was public safety minister when New Brunswick pushed for the
removal of Larry Tremblay as assistant commissioner of the RCMP's J
Division. (Joe McDonald/CBC)
"I do not invoke article 7.4 lightly, and I regret that it has become necessary," Flemming wrote in his July 15 letter.
That
section says the minister can request a replacement if the commissioner
is convinced "sufficient cause" exists that the head of J division "no
longer commands the confidence" of the provincial government.
Flemming's
letter opened by saying "as you are aware," Tremblay "no longer
commands my confidence" to act on drug crime and be accountable to local
communities.
In her response, Lucki said "neither I, nor my management, were aware of any concerns" about Tremblay before Flemming's letter.
The
Department of Public Safety turned down an interview request Tuesday.
"We have no additional comment on this matter," said spokesperson
Geoffrey Downey.
Lucki's letter said she hoped the RCMP could
work with the province to reach "a positive resolution that will ensure
all parties involved are treated with respect and dignity" without
having to invoke Article 7.4.
When CBC first revealed Tremblay's
removal last year, J Division spokesperson Angela Chang claimed Article
7.4 hadn't been invoked and Tremblay made a "personal decision" to
retire at the end of October.
Chang later withdraw the assertion the article hadn't been invoked.
The
RCMP rejected an interview request Tuesday. Spokesperson Robin Percival
repeated that Tremblay had made a personal decision to retire effective
Oct. 31, 2021.
CBC News obtained Lucki's letter to Flemming this week through an access to information request to the RCMP.
In
his letter to Lucki, Flemming complained that Tremblay did not help the
Higgs government "drive significant change" in policing, especially on
drug crime.
The minister said in an interview last October that
J Division was "not having the kind of leadership that we felt we
needed" and the situation was "out of control."
He said the province wanted to "declare war" on drug dealers.

Opposition
Liberal MLA Rob McKee says Flemming often speaks about the independence
of the justice and policing system but his decision to push out
Tremblay "demonstrated just the opposite."
"The fact that now it's coming back that he did not even raise concerns with them is even more concerning," McKee said.
"I think this shows that after the fact, Lucki is saying that she felt due process wasn't respected in this case."
The
province provided an extra $2.3 million for J Division's crime
reduction unit last year to try to reduce drug crime, part of a five
year addiction and mental health action plan.
This year's budget added another $3.3 million.
Tremblay was named assistant commissioner of the RCMP for New Brunswick in 2016.
Three
days after CBC News revealed Flemming's push to remove him, the RCMP
said it had decided "to not proceed" with appointing Chief
Superintendent Kevin Leahy, head of the Parliamentary Protective Service
in Ottawa, as his replacement.
Carleton
MLA Bill Hogan took over the role of public safety minister in the
Higgs cabinet earlier this year, assuming the role held by Ted Flemming,
who remains justice minister and attorney-general. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)
In January, DeAnna Hill was put in the assistant commissioner's job instead.
Flemming himself was later replaced in the role of public safety minister.
Premier
Blaine Higgs shuffled Carleton MLA Bill Hogan into the position in
February, saying it would help "ramp up our intensity" in fighting drug
crime.
He said it wasn't a reflection on Flemming, who remains attorney general and justice minister.
"I
don't think it's a case of Minister Flemming not being able to
continue," Higgs said. "I think it's a situation where we're putting an
emphasis on public safety and rural communities and communities
throughout our province that have continued to face crime issues."

since 2000. Raised in Moncton, he also produces the CBC political
podcast Spin Reduxit.

>>> (Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on

>>> The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to

>>> 12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim

>>> capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
>>> Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,

>>> he stated:
>>>
>>> As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
>>> work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
>>> You are your brother’s keeper.
>>>
>>> Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
>>> colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
>>> expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
>>> people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses
>>> or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
>>> me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
>>> Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
>>> Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
>>> Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;

>>> Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
>>> of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
>>> Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
>>> Police.
>>>
>>> In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
>>> personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
>>> potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
>>> of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
>>> hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
>>> Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
>>> [1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
>>> allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
>>> requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.
>>>
>>>
>>> AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of
>>> the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion. There
>>> is no order as to costs.

Supt. Darren Campbell shows a map tracking the gunman's movements
during the rampage on April 18 and 19 during an April 24 press
conference. Part of the RCMP’s justification for not providing
additional comments about the mass shooting has been their ongoing
investigation into where the shooter’s guns came from and whether he
acted alone. (CBC)
