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/opinion/public_editor/2011/12/07/toronto_star_newsroom_policy_and_journalistic_standards_guide.html

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/opinion/corrections

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:lettertoed@thestar.ca>.
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:

Spouse of N.S. mass shooter shows how deadly rampage began in video
re-enactment
 
 

Methinks the very lazy corrupt media sheople love to republish Mikey MacDonald's spin on the Mass Casualty Commission Bullshit then polish the turd with their 2 bits worth. Others just use their photos and write their own spin.


Hence they should not complain that I do the same within my Blog in light of the fact I duly notified them of  what I have been up to for many years N'esy Pas?

 

Deja Vu Anyone??

Canada’s top Mountie, Nova Scotia’s mass shooting probe and some missing pages: Here’s what we know so far

RCMP faced more scrutiny for initially removing pages from subpoenaed documents recording Lucki’s anger at refusal to release details about the guns.

HALIFAX—As controversy swirls around the RCMP, the Liberal government and allegations of interference in the investigation of the worst mass shooting in the country’s history, missing RCMP documentation is the latest development to take centre stage.

RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki this week faced accusations that she sought to interfere with the Nova Scotia Mounties’ investigation into the province’s April 2020 massacre, potentially at the behest of then-public safety minister Bill Blair and the Prime Minister’s Office to grease the wheels for upcoming gun control legislation.

Lucki, Blair and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have denied that there was any interference with the Nova Scotia investigation.

On Friday, the RCMP — and the Department of Justice by extension — faced scrutiny for initially removing pages from subpoenaed documents that recorded Lucki’s anger at the Nova Scotia RCMP’s refusal to release details about the guns involved in the shooting. The Nova Scotia Mounties had said doing so would compromise their investigation.

The missing pages, which described Lucki telling a Nova Scotia contingent that she’d promised the public safety minister and the PMO the gun details would be released, were only handed over to the inquiry in May of this year, three months after the RCMP had provided the same documents without those pages.

Here’s what’s happened so far, and what’s likely to happen next.

What’s the controversy exactly?

Days after the mass shooting that saw 22 people killed by a gunman in northern Nova Scotia, there was a meeting between national and Nova Scotia RCMP.

Notes from that meeting, released this week by the public inquiry now reviewing the tragedy, show it included RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki and, from the Nova Scotia side, Assistant Commissioner Lee Bergerman, the province’s commanding officer; Supt. Darren Campbell; and strategic communications director Lia Scanlan.

RCMP Supt. Darren Campbell discusses the timeline of events and locations of the Nova Scotia shootings at RCMP headquarters in Dartmouth, N.S., on April 24, 2020.

In press briefings to that point, N.S. RCMP had withheld specifics on the weapons used by the gunman, saying that identifying the specific guns would compromise the investigation.

At the meeting, Lucki “was obviously upset” that N.S. RCMP had not released the specifics, Campbell’s handwritten notes indicate.

“The commissioner accused us (me) of disrespecting her by not following her instructions,” his notes said.

At the time, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government was in the process of pushing through an order-in-council that would ban the sale of 1,500 models of assault-style firearms.

Campbell’s notes indicate that when he attempted to explain the reasoning for not releasing this information, Lucki said that “we (the Nova Scotia RCMP) didn’t understand, that this was tied to pending gun control legislation that would make officers and public safer by or through this legislation.”

“The commissioner said that she had promised the Minister of Public Safety and the Prime Minister’s Office that the RCMP (we) would release this information,” wrote Campbell.

In an interview with the Mass Casualty Commission in February of this year, Scanlan also expressed frustration, saying Blair and Trudeau were “weighing in on what we could and could not say” in press briefings.

“That is 100 per cent Minister Blair and the Prime Minister,” she said. “And we have a commissioner that does not push back.”

Why was that bad, if it happened?

The notes from that conference seem to indicate that Lucki was willing to interfere with RCMP operations — the investigation of the mass shooting — to advance a gun-control agenda championed by the Prime Minister’s Office and by the public safety minister at the time, Blair.

Based on Lucki’s comments — as reported by Campbell — it appears that she was taking her marching orders from Blair and from the PMO.

If true, that’s problematic because it compromises the principle of “operational independence,” a central tenet of policing that dictates that politicians should never dictate or direct police operations. In principle, it’s a noble concept; in practice, the definition is somewhat fuzzy.

Lucki said late Tuesday that she would never take action that would jeopardize an investigation. Blair, now the emergency preparedness minister, denied that Lucki had ever promised him that the RCMP would release specific information about the guns. He’s also denied that he told anyone what the RCMP should communicate about their own investigation.

Trudeau, speaking from a Commonwealth summit in Rwanda, said Thursday there was no “undue influence or pressure” put on the RCMP in the days following the mass shooting, and that only police determine what information to release and when.

What position does this leave the RCMP commissioner in?

Lucki’s tenure atop the RCMP has not been without controversy.

In 2020, she drew criticism for saying she had struggled over the definition of systemic racism and its existence in her police force. Shortly thereafter, she changed tack and acknowledged that systemic racism was indeed present in the RCMP, drawing the ire of some members.

That same year, the B.C. Civil Liberties Association filed a lawsuit against her for delaying the release of a civilian watchdog report into RCMP spying on Indigenous and climate advocates. And a series of on-camera incidents sparking allegations of excessive use of force by RCMP officers prompted then-Chief of the Assembly of First Nations Perry Bellegarde to call for her replacement.

Trudeau said this week he still has confidence in Lucki to lead the RCMP. His support echoed that of current public safety minister, Marco Mendicino, and Blair.

What’s the deal with the missing notes?

On June 15, 2021, the Mass Casualty Commission issued a subpoena to the RCMP for its entire investigative file related to the mass shooting.

Eight months later, on Feb. 14, 2022, as part of that file, the RCMP turned over the notes of senior RCMP officers, including Campbell’s handwritten notes covering the period from April 19, 2020 to June 16, 2020. Campbell’s notes covered 132 pages.

Campbell was in the habit of writing the date in large numbers across the page in his notes like this: 2020-04-27.

In those notes turned over by the RCMP in February, his dates jumped from 2020-04-27 to 2020-04-29 — April 27, 2020, to April 29, 2020 — with no April 28 in between.

April 28, 2020 was the date of the conference with Lucki, during which Campbell’s notes reflected Lucki being upset about Campbell not releasing specific information on the guns used in the mass shooting, and noting her saying that she had promised the public safety minister and the PMO that she would do so.

More than three months later, on May 31, 2022, the commission received another batch of documents from the Department of Justice, which again included Campbell’s handwritten notes.

This time the notes numbered 136 pages and included the four pages of Campbell’s notes from the conference with Lucki, dated, as was his habit, with 2020-04-28 written across the page.

“The Commission sought an explanation from the Department of Justice about why four pages were missing from the original disclosure of Supt. Campbell’s notes,” the Mass Casualty Commission’s investigations director, Barbara McLean, said in a statement Friday.

“The Commission is also demanding an explanation for any further material that has been held back from disclosed material for privilege or other review where the fact that this has occurred is not clear on what has been produced to the Commission.

“In short, the Commission is seeking assurance that nothing else has been held back as per direction from subpoenas.”

The RCMP did not respond to a request from the Star seeking an explanation for the missing pages.

What do the victims families’ think?

“Our clients are understandably troubled by what they heard,” Michael Scott of Patterson Law, which represents most of the families of the victims of the shooting, said in a statement this week. “In the days following April 19, 2020, all efforts should have been focused on supporting victims, their families and the active investigation being carried out by local RCMP.

“Interfering in those efforts, to exploit a perceived political opportunity or otherwise, would have been inexcusable. We trust that the Mass Casualty Commission recognizes the importance of determining the truth of these allegations and the need for fulsome cross-examination of the relevant witnesses.”

When will we hear more from the players involved?

Campbell and Lucki are scheduled to appear as witnesses at the Mass Casualty Commission inquiry in coming months, as are Assistant Commissioner Lee Bergerman, the province’s commanding officer at the time, and Chief Supt. Chris Leather, who was the critical incident commander the weekend of the shootings.

But a parliamentary public safety committee has also called upon many of the same players to testify as it digs into the allegations of political interference into the RCMP investigation.

Lucki and Blair are required to appear before the committee no later than July 25, and Campbell and Scanlan are being called as well. Also tapped for testimony before the committee are Bergerman and Leather.

Your assistant Katherine Wilson really pissed me off after a long wait
on hold to talk to you on the phone today. I read the news today and
just shook my head at the nonsense of it all.

Wilson claimed that she was well aware of my matters and that all of
your associates employed as Crown Attorneys have advised me to the
best of your abilities. How can that be? I have not been able to speak
to any of you since I spoke to the crook, Jeff Mockler over two years
ago and that was immediately after I came screaming out of jail in the
USA. I saw red as I read his words to me then. They were obviously
sent when he thought I would never get out of that Yankee jail.

To date I have not received one response in writng let alone speak to
anyone employed by the Crown as legal counsel, Despite the
unbelievable volume of material I have faxed emailed and delivered in
hand and byway of the Canada Post, you all failed to act within the
scope of your employment and certainly do not deserve a raise. In fact
you should all go to jail, not pass go and not allowed to accept even
200, dollars more from the taxpayers of New Brunswick.

The text of the fowarded email I sent last night to you political bosses
and many others says enough about my pending lawsuits.

The Governor General of Canada is the highest authority in Canada
who speaks in the name of the Crown N'est Pas? Well I received that
letter mere days before I was falsely imprisoned in the USA.

Well you can easily see that she affirms over two years ago that I had
done the right thing with regards to provincial law enforcement
authorities just as Deputy Prime Minister Landslide Annie McLellan
had suggested I do before I came back home to New Brunswick to run
for a federal seat in the malevolent 38th Parlaiment.

Wheras you refused to talk to me today Johnny Boy Logan, may I
suggest that you talk to the RCMP or some of your associates
starting with Jeff Mockler. I have had enough of your obvious malice.

I will leave you to wonder as to who else will read my opinion of you
and your legal cohorts in short order. Cya'll in Court.

Crown lawyers receive help in fight for pay raise
Last Updated: Wednesday, November 1, 2006 | 9:26 AM AT
CBC News <http://www.cbc.ca/news/credit.html>

Lawyers who work for the New Brunswick government say a previously
secret report may help their case for a bigger pay raise.

The lawyers had to go to court to see the report, which proves they're
underpaid, they say. Government lawyers aren't unionized and can't
strike, so have no leverage in asking the government to raise their pay.

Last year, the government commissioned a study of what Crown
lawyers make across the country as part of a review of salaries.

The government wouldn't give the Crown Counsel Association a copy
of the report when it was done, so the association used the Right to
Information Act to take the government to court, and a judge ordered
the report released.

Association president John Logan says the report appears to show
government lawyers here are paid less than their counterparts in
other provinces.

“The association of Crown counsel are reviewing the report and intend
to use it as background information.”

The association is hoping to meet with the new attorney general to
talk about the report, but government spokesperson Christina Winsor
says a good pay plan is already in place.

“The current pay plan for the lawyers is an average of three per cent
a year over four years, and that is consistent and slightly above
inflation rates, which is averaging about two per cent right now.”

Winsor says a new study will be commissioned in 2009 when the
current schedule of pay increases expires

Wife of N.S. mass killer explains why she didn’t report earlier violence to police

Lisa Banfield struggled to maintain her composure as she described how her partner beat her in 2003 as witnesses looked on, and she offered new details about what happened when her spouse threatened to kill his parents in 2010.

It was the first time she has spoken publicly about her life with the killer, and the inquiry’s decision to spare her from facing cross-examination proved contentious. Lawyers from a firm representing families of 14 of the victims, as well as about 20 of those family members, walked out of the hearing in protest before it ended.

Lisa Banfield, the common-law wife of Gabriel Wortman, testifies at the Mass Casualty Commission on Friday.

The inquiry has heard Banfield was beaten and badly injured by Gabriel Wortman on the night of April 18, 2020, at the beginning of his shooting rampage that would claim 22 lives. She told investigators that she escaped into the woods and emerged the next morning to tell police that her partner was still at large and driving a vehicle that looked exactly like an RCMP cruiser.

Banfield said she will remain forever haunted by her decision to flee, as she wonders if her spouse might have harmed her and then left others alone.

“I often think would any of those people have died? So that is something that haunts me all the time, because I feel that they weren’t targeted. He was looking for me in the beginning,” she said.

Banfield’s testimony was at times painful and dramatic as she described what happened in June 2010 when Wortman’s uncle alerted Halifax police that his nephew had threatened to kill his parents over a property dispute.

Banfield recalled how the killer had been drinking heavily and fired a bullet into the wall of their home in Dartmouth, N.S., terrifying her. When a Halifax police officer arrived at their door, Banfield admitted she lied when asked about the death threats and whether her spouse owned any weapons.

When commission lawyer Gillian Hnatiw asked why she lied, Banfield sobbed as she explained.

“He had the handgun by the nightstand, and he said. ‘If any police come, I’m shooting,”’ she said. “So, when they asked me that, I didn’t want them to go in, because I didn’t want them
(police) to get hurt.”

When an RCMP officer showed up at the couple’s summer home in Portapique, N.S., after the death threat was reported, Wortman insisted he didn’t own any firearms, aside from an old musket and another antique weapon suspended near the fireplace and “filled with wax,” Banfield testified.

She confirmed that the officer in question was Const. Greg Wiley, who had known Wortman for years and later told investigators that he had visited his Portapique home 16 times.

Hnatiw also asked Banfield about a violent assault at a gathering in Sutherland Lake, north of Portapique. In earlier interviews with the inquiry, she indicated the attack took place in 2001 or 2002, but she confirmed Friday the actual date was 2003.

She testified that when she tried to leave the bush party, Wortman became irate. As the pair drove away in his Jeep, he started punching her, she said.

“And as I was driving back on the back road, he’s yelling at me,” she said as the hearing room fell silent. “He started smacking me in my face. I’m thinking, ‘I’ve never had anybody hit me before … and I’m trying to drive. He just kept whacking me in the head.”

She said she jumped out of the vehicle and ran into the woods. He ran after her and caught her.

“He grabbed by the hair and was punching me, and I’m trying to protect myself,” she said. “I’m screaming. He pulled me out by the road … and then I could see these two (all-terrain vehicles) and their lights were on me. He looked up and he dropped me.”

Banfield said Wortman was later placed in the back of a police cruiser and taken back to their home in Portapique.

Asked why she declined to report the assault to police, Banfield replied: “That’s the first time anybody hit me, and I didn’t want to get anybody in trouble. I just thought, ‘I’m walking away.”’

Hnatiw also asked Banfield about the early stages of the couple’s relationship, which started in 2001 after they met at a bar in downtown Halifax. Banfield said that on their first date, he showed up with two dozen long-stemmed roses. “I thought that was over the top,” she said.

But later that night, she was impressed by his reaction when his car was rear-ended by a vehicle driven by a young woman. “He approached the two young girls in the vehicle. He was smiling,” she said. “He said, ‘It’s OK.’ He was very calm. I thought, ‘He’s a good guy.”’

Earlier this week, the commission released a document based on evidence provided by Banfield during interviews with the RCMP and the inquiry detailing the killer’s long history of violence toward her. It said she would not face cross-examination, mainly because she could be traumatized by having to relive the violence she endured.

Still, lawyer Michael Scott, whose firm represents families of 14 of the victims, says the decision to limit questioning will leave lingering doubts about Banfield’s testimony.

Scott, several other lawyers in his firm and about 20 family members the firm represents walked out of the hearing in the afternoon. “We’ve decided with our clients we’ve heard enough and we’ll be leaving for the rest of the day,” he said.

“I don’t know if Ms. Banfield is lying, I don’t know if she’s telling the truth, I don’t know if Ms. Banfield is mistaken, because we don’t have an opportunity to ask her any questions.”

In the afternoon testimony, Hnatiw asked Banfield whether she ever suspected her spouse might harm others, given she knew he owned a mock RCMP cruiser, illegal guns and a stockpile of gas and money.

She replied she regarded it as related to his paranoia about the pandemic. “He was talking crazy, and I would pass it off because I didn’t want to listen to what he was saying,” she said.

During the 13 hours he was at large, the killer fatally shot 22 people, including a pregnant woman and a Mountie. He was shot dead by two Mounties on the morning of April 19, 2020.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 15, 2022.

‘I was so scared’: Tears, anguish — and a walkout — as N.S. mass killer’s wife testifies

The gunman’s abusive and violent behaviour toward Lisa Banfield has been documented in previous testimony given to the Mass Casualty Commission, but victims’ lawyers have questions, which they won’t be allowed to ask her at the inquiry.

HALIFAX —Flanked by her sisters, Lisa Banfield took to the podium Friday as the most anticipated witness in the five-month run, thus far, of the inquiry into Nova Scotia’s worst mass shooting.

Her mouth set in a tight line, Banfield put her hand on the Bible and took an oath, beginning her first public appearance since her common-law husband, Gabriel Wortman, killed 22 people and torched several houses in a 13-hour rampage over April 18-19, 2020.

Looking visibly distraught, she faced a full room — some 200 people crowded into the Nova Scotia Ballroom at the Marriott, who had come looking for some kind of insight into killings that shocked the country.

In dramatic and emotional fashion, Banfield told the inquiry of her abuse at the hands of the gunman, of her fear for her safety and that of her family, of his penchant for collecting guns and police paraphernalia, and of the events of April 18, when what was supposed to be the celebration of their 19th anniversary went horribly wrong.

Before that night was out, she had been assaulted and confined in the back of the gunman’s replica RCMP car, from which she managed to escape. The killer, meanwhile, roamed the neighbourhood in Portapique, killing 13 people there before fleeing into the night. The next morning he would begin killing again, before eventually being shot dead by police at a gas station.

For families of victims wanting to know why their loved ones were killed, there was little solace; Banfield, in her only day of testimony, had much guilt, but few answers for them.

“This is what haunts me,” she said, in tears, to the inquiry. “It’s because I feel like he was targeting me and my family. And if I didn’t get out of that car, I often think, ‘Would any of those people have died?’

“That’s something that haunts me all the time, because I feel that they weren’t targeted. That he was looking for me in the beginning.”

Lisa Banfield, the common-law wife of Gabriel Wortman, is flanked by her sisters Janice Banfield, left, and Maureen Banfield, as she testifies at the Mass Casualty Commission inquiry Friday.

Banfield described her escape into the woods surrounding the gunman’s warehouse, eventually crossing to the other side of the road, where she heard two men.

“I looked around because my back was sore, so I found a stick and I propped myself up and I started walking in the direction where I could hear the two guys talking … freaking out,” she said, her voice cracking.

“And as I’m getting closer, the stick broke. So, I dropped to my knees, and there was another log and I thought, ‘I don’t have it in me to crawl over this and try to prop myself up again.

“And then I heard, ‘Hey boys,’ or something. And — ‘bang!’ ‘bang!’ — and then there was nothing. And then I just crawled back to the log and just hid there.”

She was sure, she said, it had been the sound of the gunman killing another of his victims. It’s not clear exactly who that might have been.

“I’m thinking, ‘Should I go see if they’re OK?’ But I was so scared, and I didn’t want to move,” she said, in tears.

At one point, she wondered if she was hallucinating, she said, because she could see the shadow of somebody with a gun that looked like a rifle. She wondered if her mind was playing tricks on her.

She hid there by the log until morning, she said, then went to a neighbour’s house and called the police.

As Friday’s testimony went on, and the questions kept coming, Banfield seemed to become more comfortable, her posture more confident, her voice stronger.

But that confidence gave way when she began to relate some of the abuse she had faced at the hands of the gunman.

Lisa Banfield, spouse of Gabriel Wortman, dons a mask at Nova Scotia provincial court in Dartmouth, N.S., March 9.

When commission counsel Gillian Hnatiw questioned her about the guns that her spouse kept, Banfield said she didn’t think of reporting the weapons to police; that she wasn’t afraid that the gunman would use the guns on others, but that she was afraid that he would use them on her.

“There was a couple of times, where if we had a fight, he’d put the gun to my head to scare me and say that he could blow off my head,” she said tearfully. “So, I was scared. I said, ‘I swear I’m not going to say anything.’”

For all the powerful testimony, there was little new information revealed that had not already been gleaned from Banfield’s previous interviews with the RCMP, and an additional one with the Mass Casualty Commission.

The families of Wortman’s victims left the inquiry en masse in the afternoon, frustrated over what they saw as the inquiry’s inability to unearth the answers they have been seeking.

“We’ve decided with our clients that we’ve heard enough,” said Michael Scott of Patterson Law, which represents most of the victims’ families, during an afternoon break in the proceedings. “We’ll be leaving for the rest of the day.

“Nothing we’ve heard today has allayed any of our concerns about the way Ms. Banfield has been handled,” said Scott. “We haven’t heard any answers to any of the relevant questions about April 2020.”

Most of that frustration stems from the commission’s decision to limit Banfield’s questioning to the commission’s own counsel, rejecting requests from the victims’ families to allow their lawyers to independently cross-examine her. That decision was made in order to avoid further traumatizing Banfield, in line with the inquiry’s trauma-informed approach, according to the commission. Police have said they don’t believe Banfield was involved in the mass killing.

“Right now, what we have is evidence from Ms. Banfield that is entirely untested, some of it’s contradictory, and it leaves us in a position where we don’t know any more today than we did yesterday,” Scott said.

“I don’t know if Ms. Banfield is lying. I don’t know if Ms. Banfield is telling the truth. I don’t know if Ms. Banfield is mistaken, because we don’t have an opportunity to ask her any questions.”

Lawyer Michael Scott, representing the majority of families of victims, announces that they are leaving the inquiry as Lisa Banfield, the common-law wife of Gabriel Wortman, testifies at the Mass Casualty Commission inquiry Friday.

Ryan Farrington, whose mother, Dawn Gulenchyn, and stepfather, Frank Gulenchyn, were killed and their house burned that night in April 2020, had been hoping for some answers about how and why his parents died. He didn’t get them, he said.

“We’re not going to get any answers that we want to know about if our lawyers cannot ask (for) them,” he said. “So, yeah, the process, to me, is flawed. This entire public inquiry is flawed. I think it’s been a big waste of money right from the start.”

A frustrated Scott McLeod, brother of victim Sean McLeod, said he found himself no closer to answers than he was two and a half years ago.

“Why would he have targeted my brother, who was so far out of the way, and start this all over again the second day? What I want to know is, what was it that set him off that bad with my brother?” he asked earlier in the day.

“She’s not going to give us anything extra,” McLeod said of Banfield. “She’s the one witness that should know more than anybody else.

“With the upcoming Mounties (testifying), they’re setting aside two days for each of them. So why wouldn’t you set aside two days for Lisa Banfield?”

Shortly before she left a significantly emptier room than she had entered, Banfield was asked by commission counsel Hnatiw about the psychological impact of the past two and a half years.

“The fact that people would think that we would have anything to do with this … our family feels for all those people and we’re not angry that they’re angry, because, if it was my family, I would feel the same way,” said a tearful Banfield.

“But it’s just angering, because he did this, and I didn’t. And I would never contribute anything like that.

“It’s really hard because it’s scary to think that people are angry and that somebody could come after me or my family if they think that we had anything to do with it.”

The Mass Casualty Commission continues its inquiry Monday.

About The Waterloo Region Record

Peter Moyer published the first issue of the Berlin Daily News on Feb. 9, 1878. Berlin was Kitchener's name until 1916.

It is to the Daily News that today’s Record sets its daily historical clock. Moyer anticipated his newspaper would run into "rough handling from its very birth." Sometimes he paid his staff in goods shopkeepers left behind to cover advertising bills.

German, English, daily, weekly - Berlin readers were swamped by newspapers in the late 1800s. For about six months in 1896, Berlin had three dailies - the Daily News, the Daily Record and the Daily Telegraph.

Ben Uttley, a teacher-turned-newspaperman, created the Berlin News-Record by merging his Daily Record with Moyer's Daily News in 1897.

There is another important branch to The Record's family tree. John Motz and Friedrich Rittinger published the first issue of a German weekly, The Berliner Journal, on Dec. 29, 1859. The Journal would continue for the next 65 years, outliving almost 20 local and area papers.

By 1919, it was owned by W.J. Motz, John Motz's son, and politician W.D. Euler. That year, they did an extraordinary thing for proprietors of a weekly paper - they bought a daily, Uttley's News Record.

They renamed it the Kitchener Daily Record and published out of 49 King St. W. The Daily Record took over the Daily Telegraph in 1922.

Some important dates in Record history:

• Jan. 7, 1929 -- the Record moved from 49 King St. W. to a new plant at 30 Queen St. N. (the Queen-and-Duke intersection.)

• By coincidence, The Record moved to its current home at 160 King St. E. on Friday - Jan. 7 in 2005.

• 1929, 1948, 1962 and 1973 - the years The Record bought new presses. In 2000, the newspaper closed the presses at Fairway Road. Printing is done on presses in Hamilton, Guelph and Vaughan.

• Dec. 31, 1947 - The Kitchener Daily Record became the Kitchener-Waterloo Record to reflect Waterloo becoming a city. In 1994, the newspaper recognized its region-wide coverage by dropping the cities from its name, becoming simply The Record.

• Jan. 26, 1978 - A huge snowstorm hit southern Ontario and forced The Record to miss getting a paper out for the first time in its history. Delivery trucks couldn't budge. Some Record staffers bunked down at their desks.

• The 1990s - A flurry of ownership changes. Four generations under the Motz family came to an end in 1989 when Southam Inc. bought the paper for $90 million. Southam sold The Record to Sun Media Corp. in 1998. By March 1999, The Record belonged to Torstar Corp.

• Sept. 11, 2001 - The Record published its first extra in 56 years. The occasion was the terrorist attacks in New York City.

• June 3, 2002 - Readers woke up to a morning Record - on a Monday. The Record was the last Canadian paper of its size to make the switch from afternoon to morning publication.

• Aug. 14, 2003 - A blackout swept across southern Ontario. Record employees put together a newspaper using laptop computers and a smidgen of emergency power.

• Jan. 7, 2005 - Record staff bade farewell to 225 Fairway Rd. S., the newspaper's home for 32 years. They moved to King and Scott streets in downtown Kitchener

• March 21, 2008 - The Record becomes the Waterloo Region Record, to better reflect the entire coverage area of this regional newspaper.

• Torstar was acquired in 2020 by Nordstar Capital, an entity owned by Toronto businessmen Jordan Bitove and Paul Rivett.

Our Journalistic Standards

The Torstar Journalistic Standards Guide provides a comprehensive code of journalistic principles and conduct to guide Waterloo Region Record journalists in their mission to responsibly engage and connect our readers on all platforms with trusted news, information and content.

Here are the general editorial principles that provide the foundation for this guide:

RESPONSIBILITY

The Record has responsibilities to its customers, its clients, its shareholders and its employees. But the operation of a news organization is, above all, a public trust, no less binding because it is not formally conferred. Our overriding responsibility is to the democratic society.

Freedom of expression and of the press must be defended against encroachment from any quarter, public or private. Journalists must ensure that the public’s business is conducted in public. They must be vigilant against all who would exploit the press for selfish purposes.

Journalists who abuse the power of their professional roles for selfish motives or unworthy purposes are faithless to that public trust.

ACCESS

The Record is a forum for the interchange of information and opinion. It should provide for the expression of disparate and conflicting views. It should give expression to the interests of minorities as well as majorities, of the powerless as well as the powerful. 

ACCURACY AND TRUTH

Good faith with the reader is the foundation of ethical and excellent journalism. That good faith rests primarily on the reader’s confidence that what we print is correct. Every effort must be made to ensure that everything published in the Record is accurate, is presented in context, and that all significant sides are presented fairly.

Journalistic integrity demands that significant errors of fact, as well as errors of omission, should be corrected promptly and as prominently and transparently as warranted. 

FAIRNESS

The Record should respect the rights of people involved in the news, be transparent and stand accountable to the public for the fairness and reliability of everything it publishes. Fair news reports provide relevant context, do not omit relevant facts and aim to be honest with readers about what we know and what we do not know. Our core fairness standard demands that any subject of potentially harmful allegations must be given opportunity to respond.

INDEPENDENCE

Independence from those we cover is a key principle of journalistic integrity. We avoid conflicts of interest and the appearance of conflicts. The Record believes in paying the costs incurred in gathering and publishing news. In circumstances where that may not be possible, we disclose information that could create the perception of a conflict of interest. Transparency with our readers and openness about the potential for conflicts should guide our considerations about real or perceived conflicts.

IMPARTIALITY

To be impartial does not require a news organization to be unquestioning or to refrain from editorial expression. Sound practice, however, demands a clear distinction for readers between news and opinion. All content that contains explicit opinion or personal interpretation should be clearly identified as opinion or analysis, as appropriate.

PRIVACY

Every person has a right to privacy. There are inevitable conflicts between the right to privacy, the public good and the public's right to be informed about the conduct of public affairs. Each case should be judged in the light of common sense and humanity.

 

Back to top

Accuracy and Corrections Policy

Here are some of the core policies included in our Standards Guide:

There can be no compromise with accuracy. Accuracy is our most basic contract with readers and is the responsibility of everyone in our newsrooms. Accuracy is grounded in verification, the essence of journalism. We must check and double-check all the information we publish, including information from all other publications.

Mistakes will happen. When they do, we correct our errors. Corrections serve the reader and they serve the public record. They are essential to building and maintaining trust with our readers. Anyone who becomes aware of a possible error has responsibility for alerting those responsible for corrections in their newsrooms.

Our corrections are guided by the core principles of accountability and transparency. We are accountable to our readers for the accuracy of the information we publish in stories, headlines, photos, cutlines, social media, graphics, data, videos and any other content on all of our platforms. We correct errors of fact in a clear, transparent manner on the platform(s) in which the error was published, as promptly as possible. We make clear to readers the correct information and the context and magnitude of the mistake.

On all of our platforms, it should be clear to readers how to report a possible error. Readers can do so by emailing corrections@therecord.com or, on therecord.com, readers can report possible errors directly on an article page by selecting the "Report an Error" icon.

Diversity Policy

Inclusiveness is at the heart of thinking and acting as journalists. Torstar newsrooms aim to reflect the diversity of our communities and respect the human rights and equal dignity of all. We aim for a variety of voices as sources and contributors in our news and opinion.

We seek to foster greater community understanding about ethnicity, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, socio-economic status and physical/mental ability and do not perpetuate hurtful stereotypes.

Generally no reference, direct or indirect, should be made to a person’s race, colour or religion unless it is pertinent to the story.

In the case of a missing person or a criminal suspect at large, there may be justification for identifying race or colour as part of a full description that provides as many details as possible. Avoid vague descriptions that serve no purpose. At times, a group may make race a public issue. In such cases, the person’s race becomes relevant to the news.

Religion is important to the lives of many of our readers. We should not hold up one religion or set of beliefs as superior to another. Do not single out a religion or religious practice for ridicule or stereotyping or use profanities considered offensive to any religions.

We treat men and women equally and respect diverse gender identities, including people who identify as neither male nor female.

Torstar is committed to this same inclusivness and diversity reflective of our communities in its hiring, promotion, development and retention of its staff.

Anonymity and Confidential Sources

The public interest is best served when news sources are identified by their full names. Torstar journalists are aggressive in pressing sources to put information on the record and seek independently to corroborate off-the-record information.

We do not provide anonymity to those who attack individuals or organizations or engage in speculation — the unattributed cheap shot. People under attack in our publications have the right to know their accusers.

There are times when reporters need confidential sources to serve readers and democracy. Responsible journalism in the public interest often depends on these confidential sources who give journalists information that powerful people seek to keep secret. There are times also when some sources, such as underage or other vulnerable people, may require anonymity in telling their stories.

Torstar journalists must discuss using confidential sources with their department head, and in some cases the newsroom’s most senior editor. They must always reveal the source’s identity to editors, and provide a compelling argument for why the source will not be named in news reports. Senior editors have responsibility to work with reporters to assess the credibility of all sources including confidential sources.

Once any promise is made to grant anonymity, we protect our source, only revealing their identity with that person’s permission.

Published articles must explain why sources have been granted anonymity and why we consider them authoritative and credible. Confidential sources should have first-hand knowledge of the information and this must be conveyed to the reader. We should publish as much information as possible about the source — including why they sought confidentiality — without revealing identity.

The definitions and ground rules for not naming a source must be discussed with sources. Any further promises made or deals brokered with any source must be discussed in advance with senior editors and are subject to the following:

• Composites, where several sources are compiled into one person, are not used. Pseudonyms are used only rarely, with a senior editor’s permission, and must be declared as such in stories.

• The source and the journalist must be clear on what has been agreed to and that agreement must be shared with the department manager. Torstar journalists keep their promises.

Conflict of Interest

Independence from those we cover is a key principle of journalistic integrity. We avoid conflicts of interest and the appearance of conflicts. In circumstances where that may not be possible, we disclose information that could create the perception of a conflict of interest. Transparency with our readers and openness about the potential for conflicts should guide our considerations about real or perceived conflicts.

These policies apply to all outside interests that could cause our audiences to question the fairness and independence of our journalism.

We seek primarily to ensure that our reporters’ reputations as fair-minded fact-finders are not compromised by public displays of political or partisan views on public issues, nor influenced by personal involvement or personal axe-grinding on issues we cover.

Opinion journalists have greater leeway on these matters, in line with the latitude to express their own views in their work.

All Torstar editorial staff should inform their immediate supervisors of any outside activity that could result in a conflict of interest, or reasonably perceived conflict of interest, that could cause our audiences to question the integrity of our work.

These policies are not intended to restrict the personal lives, interests or expressions of beliefs of Torstar journalists outside their work lives. Rather, as has been established through various arbitration processes across the company, they seek to ensure that any such personal activities and interests do not come into conflict with the public role of our news organizations in any way that could be seen to compromise our editorial independence and integrity.

News and Opinions

The Record clearly labels content on all platforms to draw a clear line between news and opinion. This glossary provides definitions for various types of news and opinion we publish.

NEWS

News content is verified information based on the impartial reporting of facts, either observed by the reporter or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. News reports do not include the opinion of the author.

News Terms

Analysis: A critical or contextual examination of an important and topical issue based on factual reporting. It provides an explanation of the impact or meaning of news events and draws on the authority and expertise of the writer. Analysis articles do not contain the author’s opinions.

Investigation: In-depth reporting in the public interest that reveals wrongdoing and/or systemic problems, holds those in power accountable and promotes positive change.

OPINION

Opinion articles based are based on personal interpretation and judgment of facts. Opinion journalists have wide latitude to express their own views, subject to standards of taste and laws of libel including views directly contrary to the editorial views of the Record.

Opinion Terms

Editorial: An article that presents a point of view reflecting the news organization's position on an issue of public interest. Editorials are not meant to be a neutral presentation of the facts. They are written by journalists who are expressing the view of the news organization. As an editorial serves to present the company’s voice, there is no individual byline.

Opinion: Articles based on the author’s interpretations and judgments of facts, data and events. Opinion articles include columns written by staff and commentary from non-staff contributors. Opinion journalists have wide latitude to express their own views including views directly contrary to the news organization's editorial views, as long as they fall within the boundaries of taste and laws of libel. Columnists should not engage in personal axe-grinding or internecine debates with other columnists who write for either their own or other publications.

Advice: An advice article reflects the opinion of the author, who provides guidance or direction on a topic based on their expertise as well as their personal interpretations and judgments of facts.

Blog: An online journal updated regularly by a journalist or editorial department that supplements news coverage. Blogs are usually informal or conversational in style and may reflect a writer’s opinions, subject to the rights and responsibilities of fair comment.

First person: Narratives exploring an author’s insights, observations or thoughts based on that individual’s personal experience and opinions.

Readers’ letters: A selection of letters by readers expressing a point of view, usually concerning a recently published article or current event.

Review: A critical assessment of the merits of a subject, such as art, film, music, television, food or literature. Reviews are based on the writer’s informed/expert opinion.

However the former Attorney General refused to look on the internet to
verify what I said was true. So I gave up on his bullshit and told him
to answer me in writing because I could easily the lawyer got the
damned email. Lockyer just refused to admit it tis all.

Go Figure Why I brought this up today

Save the kids or save the ex-con?
by Paul Palango
https://www.frankmagazine.ca/.../save-the-kids-or-save...
(for subscribers only)

On that terrible night in Portapique, the RCMP faced what on the surface, at least, seemed like a no-brainer of a situation: rescue four children hiding in a basement after their parents had been murdered by Gabriel Wortman, or save a convicted drug trafficker with ties to a Mexican drug cartel and his parents. Save the kids or save the con. An easy choice, you’d think. 

Yet, the RCMP chose to evacuate convicted drug trafficker Peter Griffon and his parents, Alan and Joanne Griffon, an hour or so before attending to the children. The cavalry showed up at the Griffon house at 4 Faris Lane sometime around midnight. 

Meanwhile, since 10:01 p.m. on April 18, four terrified children, two aged 12 and two aged 10, had been on the line with a 911 operator for about two hours, hunkered in the basement of slain school-teacher Lisa McCully’s house at 135 Orchard Beach Drive. Some half a kilometre away from the Griffon residence, as the crow flies...

...Tammy Oliver-McCreadie, the sister of Jolene Oliver, recently was able to gain access to her brother-in-law Aaron Tuck’s cell phone. To her astonishment she found a text from RCMP Constable Wayne (Skipper) Bent to Aaron. It was sent at 1:15 p.m. that Sunday. The Oliver family had been frantically calling the RCMP throughout that day because they couldn’t reach their family members. The RCMP repeatedly told them they were checking. But they hadn’t been. Not in person, anyway. 

The text to Aaron Tuck read: “This is Cst. Bent with the RCMP. Looking for Aaron Tuck to call me ASAP. Important. Thank you.”

The three Tucks couldn’t answer Skipper Bent’s text for obvious reasons. 

Their bodies weren’t found until near 6 p.m. that Sunday, while the Olivers kept calling the RCMP and being stalled by Bent and the new officer in charge Corp. Gerard Rose-Berthiaume.

“I have really no idea why in the %#@& would they text and not walk down the road and check them,” Oliver-McCurdie wrote in a message to Frank. 

“The phones were in the house. Aaron’s was plugged in charging.”

That Saturday night and well into the day on Sunday, the RCMP seemed obsessed with keeping regular members away from nine crime scenes on the lower half of Portapique Beach Road, even after the threat had been neutralized. 

Nobody bothered to do a wellness check on the Tucks, for one small example, until seven hours after Gabriel Wortman’s rampage was finally brought to an end in Enfield..

The RCMP, governments and the media have conflated all the killings into a single massacre. This is inaccurate. While Gabriel Wortman is the perpetrator in both massacres, the circumstances of each are decidedly distinct. By treating what happened as one prolonged incident provides both a disservice to the truth and a cover for the RCMP and its government and public enablers.
The first massacre took place on Saturday night April 18, and was contained in the community of Portapique Beach. It appears that no witness to any of the murders was left alive. Portapique resident Andrew MacDonald and his wife, Katie, were shot at by Wortman and escaped. MacDonald told the first arriving officer, Constable Stuart Beselt, that Wortman was dressed as a police officer and was driving a fully marked RCMP vehicle. It is understood that Beselt radioed that information to his base. The Mounties say they had five units in place by 10:35 p.m. or so, but they held their positions. Officers who wanted to go down the road were ordered not to by a corporal who threatened them with the loss of their jobs if they did not obey her. Thirteen people were killed that night: John Zahl and Joanne Thomas, Frank and Dawn Gulenchyn, Greg and Jamie Blair, Lisa McCully, Corrie Ellison, Aaron Tuck, Jolene Oliver, Emily Tuck and Peter and Joy Bond.
Could any of them been saved? Since the Columbine massacre in Colorado in 1999, police forces just about everywhere have recognized that the first officers on the scene of an active shooter must attack the shooter and not wait for specialized tactical officers to arrive on scene. The first responsibility of any law enforcement officer in a critical situation is preservation of life. Why did the RCMP not pursue Wortman when they were told where he was by MacDonald?

The second massacre occurred on the morning of April 19, and was spread out over a wide swath of Northern and Central Nova Scotia. A key thing to note is that the RCMP sent its officers home from Portapique around 6:30 a.m. after it was assumed that Wortman had committed suicide. Who made that assumption?
When daylight arrived, the bodies of Corrie Ellison and Lisa McCully were still lying by the road on Orchard Beach Drive. At least five bodies — the three Tucks and the two Bonds — wouldn’t be found until later that day. The police had no idea where Wortman was. Eventually, the police said that he likely spent the night behind a welding shop of Ventura Drive in Debert, but we still don’t really know that. It’s another assumption.
That morning, Wortman travelled 50 kilometres to Hunter Road in Wentworth, where he killed corrections officers Sean McLeod and Alanna Jenkins before setting their house on fire. He killed Good Samaritan neighbour, Tom Bagley, who came to check out what was going on. He then drove back toward Portapique and killed Lillian Hyslop on Highway 4. He eluded the RCMP near Glenholme, tried to gain entry into another residence, and then killed VON nurses Kristin Beaton and Heather O’Brien on Plains Road in Debert.
Wortman then headed south, where he shot and wounded Constable Chad Morrison and killed Constable Heidi Stevenson at Shubenacadie. At that scene he coldly executed Joey Webber, another Good Samaritan. He set his fake police car on fire with Webber in the back seat, and escaped in Webber’s Ford Escape. He stopped about a kilometre away at fellow denturist Gina Goulet’s house, killed her and stole her vehicle.
In all Wortman drove an estimated 200 kilometres. The RCMP did not set up a roadblock in front of him. Why?

Remember last April when the RCMP held four decidedly weird press conferences during which Assistant Commissioner Lee Bergerman, Chief Superintendent Chris Leather and Superintendent Darren Campbell all embarrassed themselves? Caught lurking behind the scenes at Campbell’s press conference on April 28 was an RCMP civilian employee named Alex Vass.
He is a former journalist who had spent almost 30 years working as a radio and television reporter in New Brunswick, the last 16 of them with the CTV network. In April 2005, Vass went to work for the Mounties in their strategic communications department. By 2020, he was a senior crisis and communications strategist in the force, “using traditional and social media to meet business goals or in other words using communications to solve and prevent crime,” as he so awkwardly states in his own LinkedIn profile.
Vass brought added value to the RCMP mainly because he had a pipeline back to his former comrades in the CTV newsroom, where he could deftly wield influence from behind the scenes and keep the CTV newsroom tame when it came to stories potentially harmful to the RCMP’s reputation.
There was another part of Vass’s back story that shed light on why the RCMP had put so much of its faith in Twitter and Facebook and why it continued to defend that mystifying decision. Leather memorably called the platform “a superior way to communicate this ongoing threat” and said he was “satisfied with the messaging.”
Vass was the key person inside the RCMP who was instrumental in convincing the force to use social media in a crisis and who was working behind the scenes to manage the force’s response to the growing criticism of the practise...

MCC Day 48 – Lisa Banfield Speaks

628 views
Jul 15, 2022
651 subscribers
Today, more than two years after the Nova Scotia mass shooting, the common law spouse of the killer has finally spoken in public, as she gave evidence in the Mass Casualty Commission proceedings. Lisa Banfield spent 19 years with Gabriel Wortman before he went on a rampage and killed 22 people over the course of 13 hours on April 18-19, 2020. It is difficult to know what to make of Ms. Banfield. She has had two years to prepare her answers, considerable preparation time and help from her high-profile lawyer, and the benefit of knowing everyone else’s versions of events before having to give evidence. On the other hand, multiple other witnesses have confirmed her accounts of having been the victim of domestic violence over an extended period of time. On yet another hand, she had no children to protect, and seemed to be enjoying a comfortable lifestyle built on criminal activity of which she must have been well aware, and now has a clear financial interest in denying knowledge of those criminal activities as she tries to retain entitlement to Gabriel Wortman’s estate.

LB scared of Gabes threats with guns but not concerned about where he stored them!
 
 
 
I have been watching most days...they swear/affirm them at beginning and at times Commissioner MacDonald would sometimes say to a witness you are still under oath when they return from lunch or long breaks....but not done consistently. I have never seen them swear them in again after breaks...unless next day continuation. Is all the other 50 days of testimony now invalid? Need one of the 30-50 lawyers present to intervene or are they considered still under oath?

Partner of N.S. mass shooter tells inquiry why she didn't report illegal guns

Lawyers of victims’ families concerned about lack of ability to ask questions

The partner of the gunman who killed 22 people in the Nova Scotia mass shooting says she knew he didn't have a gun licence, but was scared he would kill her if she ever reported him to police.

Lisa Banfield testified Friday before the Mass Casualty Commission leading a public inquiry into the rampage on April 18 and 19, 2020, when her common-law spouse, Gabriel Wortman, killed neighbours and strangers as he drove a mock RCMP cruiser.

Banfield, who was only questioned by commission counsel, was composed for the first few hours of the day as she testified with two of her sisters by her side.

She became emotional when talking about the various firearms the gunman owned. Banfield said she never considered reporting her common-law spouse to the police, even though she knew he didn't have a licence.

"If we had a fight, he put the gun to my head to scare me and said he could blow off my head," Banfield said through tears.

"So I was scared. I'm not going to say anything."

Banfield said she was aware other men also knew Wortman had these guns and were afraid to say anything, "so what am I gonna do?"

Wanted to protect police from gunman

She was also asked about what happened when two Halifax Regional Police officers arrived at the Dartmouth home she shared with the gunman in June 2010, investigating reports that he had threatened to kill his parents.

At the time, Banfield told officers there were no guns in the house. She testified Friday that wasn't true, but she said she lied to protect the officers.

"[Wortman] had the handgun by the nightstand and said if any police come, 'I'm shooting,'" Banfield said. 

Soon after this, Banfield said RCMP Const. Greg Wiley came by the Portapique cottage to see whether Wortman had any firearms. 

Wiley in house for 10 minutes: Banfield

The inquiry has heard that Wiley visited the gunman's cottage more than a dozen times in the years before the mass shooting, since the officer went to him for tips on local crime.

During that 2010 visit, Banfield said Wiley asked Wortman if he had any guns. The gunman showed the Mountie an old musket and one decorative gun above a fireplace that was filled with wax.

Wiley was only in the cottage for about 10 minutes and didn't seem to take an official statement from the gunman, nor did he search the home, said Banfield.

She couldn't remember if Wiley visited the gunman's warehouse or if it had been built by then.

The gunman began his rampage on April 18, 2020, after attacking Banfield during a celebration of their 19th anniversary. The gunman's long history of violence, emotional abuse and other controlling behaviour toward Banfield was outlined in a foundational document released earlier this week. 

Although Banfield's lawyer James Lockyer said she was apprehensive about testifying, due to revisiting of the trauma from her past, she chose to give her evidence in person rather than via video.

"She's showing, you know, a lot of courage there in my view, and she's going to do her best," Lockyer said Thursday.

As of Friday, Banfield has completed four interviews with police since the massacre, a video walk-through of her experience on April 18 and 19 in Portapique, N.S., and five recent interviews with the commission itself. 

Soon after the video walk-through in October 2020, the RCMP charged Banfield with supplying ammunition to the gunman and she stopped cooperating with police. Banfield also, under her lawyer's advice, initially refused to speak at the inquiry. That stance changed when her charge was referred to restorative justice in March.

According to a commission release, the decision to not allow questions from other participant lawyers is based on the volume of information Banfield has already provided, and her position as a "survivor of the perpetrator's violence."

Gillian Hnatiw, commission counsel, said earlier this week that while there may be "follow-up questions" put to Banfield on Friday about the shootings, their team will not be asking her to retell that story.

Michael Scott of Patterson Law, the firm representing the families of most victims, said they were "shocked" to hear that.

Scott said their clients already had significant concerns with the commission blocking direct cross-examination. He is not planning to submit any written questions for the commission to consider.

Scott said there is "absolutely no point" in having Banfield give sworn testimony in person under the conditions the commission has laid out.

"We can be forgiven for concluding that Ms. Banfield has been called forward for no other reason than ... it can be said that she was called," Scott said Thursday.

He added that the commission's trauma-informed mandate would have been better served by having Banfield testify once in person, and not sit through multiple lengthy interviews behind closed doors.

If this process had been done the "proper way" and questions allowed from various lawyers, Scott said Banfield would have been allowed the opportunity to speak her piece. But as it stands, Scott said there will still be major questions around Banfield after she testifies Friday, and "speculation about what actually happened."

When asked what else the commission is hoping to learn from Banfield, one of their lawyers Emily Hill told reporters Thursday that there are multiple issues, including the history of the gunman's abuse in their relationship. Hill also said they do have questions for her as a witness to how the events of April 18 unfolded.

Banfield has told police how the gunman assaulted her before throwing her into the mock RCMP car in his Portapique garage. She said she escaped through an opening in the car's divider, and hid in the woods overnight.

Lockyer said he's glad that the commission will not allow questions from participant lawyers which may be driven by a "conspiracy theory" that Banfield actually didn't spend the night outside in the woods.

This type of question "takes us to south of the border," Lockyer said Thursday.

"You know, these shootings happen south of the border and the next thing we hear from the Alex Joneses of this world is that the shooting never actually happened, it's completely phony and was made up," Lockyer said.

"We don't need that kind of nonsense in Canada or in Nova Scotia."

Lockyer said Banfield is aware victims' families will be in the room Friday, and that's one of the reasons she wants to come in person. Banfield never knew the massacre was coming, Lockyer said, and every day thinks about what would have happened if she hadn't fled on April 18.

"She's going to think about that every day for the rest of her life. That's a difficult thing to carry, a very heavy burden to carry," Lockyer said.

"She just hopes that … she's going to be to tell them, as best she can, that she just wishes it never happened."

Although Patterson Law filed a motion asking for detailed reasons on the commission's approach, the commission released a decision dismissing this motion Thursday.

The commissioners said they have explained fully why Banfield is only being questioned by their own counsel, who are tasked to find answers in the public interest, and "not in the adversarial, trial-like model" on which the motion was based.

The commission also dismissed Patterson's request to give an oral submission about Banfield's testimony Friday.

This is not the first time the issue of lack of direct questioning has been raised by victims' families and their lawyers. In May, the commissioners decided that only their lawyers would question RCMP Staff Sgt. Brian Rehill and Sgt. Andy O'Brien in pre-taped interviews. Rehill was in charge of the police response during the first hours after 911 calls began to come in. O'Brien helped communicate with officers at the crime scene early in the crisis.

This drew a temporary boycott of the inquiry by many victims' families, who did not show up during the Mounties' testimonies and instructed their lawyers to do the same.

Spouse of N.S. mass shooter shows how deadly rampage began in video re-enactment

Lisa Banfield told police what she could remember about Portapique events months later

Warning: This story contains details of violence and domestic abuse that are disturbing.

New videos show the long-time partner of the Nova Scotia mass shooter re-enacting what she saw and experienced the night the rampage began two years ago.

The Mass Casualty Commission released new documents and images Wednesday as part of its inquiry into what happened on April 18 and 19, 2020, when Gabriel Wortman killed 22 people while driving a mock RCMP car.

Among these are video re-enactments from October 2020, when Lisa Banfield took an RCMP investigator through what she remembers happened in Portapique.

Banfield said the night began with the couple celebrating their 19th anniversary and having drinks at the gunman's large garage next to his cottage. They were video chatting with friends in the United States and talking about how they planned to hold a commitment ceremony the next year. That's when their friend Angel Patterson said, "Don't do it." That upset Banfield and she left the garage. 

Halfway up the path to the cottage, Banfield said she decided to turn around and apologize to Wortman, but when she arrived he was already "irate." She told the commission she couldn't calm him down, and went back to the cottage and into bed.

What seemed like minutes later, Banfield said the gunman pulled the covers off the bed and assaulted her, kicking her into the bedpost. He then pulled her through the cottage which she noticed was already doused in gasoline, and set the building on fire once they got outside.

She then told police about the gunman leading her through the woods to the garage.

When she was in the back seat of the mock RCMP cruiser behind the plexiglass partition, Banfield said the gunman loaded several firearms into the front of the vehicle.

He then went up to the loft apartment in the garage, and she tried to kick out the back seat windows with no success.

She managed to slip the handcuff off her left hand and was able to slide open a window in the divider and dive into the front seat. She ran from the garage, not taking any of the guns in the cruiser —  something she told police she has replayed over in her head.

Inquiry learns details of abuse, control suffered by spouse of N.S. mass shooter

Lisa Banfield says she was convinced the gunman would kill her family if she left him

Inquiry hears from spouse of N.S. mass shooter about years of abuse, control

1 day ago
Duration 2:17
The public inquiry into the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shooting released dramatic, previously unseen video and testimony from the gunman's spouse Wednesday. She described suffering years of abuse at the gunman's hand, including on the night he killed 22 people.

Warning: details are disturbing.

The first time Lisa Banfield says she was physically abused by her partner was a terrifying assault where she ran into the woods in the early 2000s.

"He was running after me and I was screaming my head off, and then he caught me and then he … you know, I had blood all over me and he was dragging me back," Banfield recalled to police.

It's a scene she said played out again years later, the night her common-law spouse Gabriel Wortman began a shooting rampage in Portapique, N.S., that would leave 22 Nova Scotians dead.

The gunman's violence, emotional abuse and other controlling behaviour toward Banfield throughout their 19-year relationship are outlined in a new foundational document released Wednesday by the Mass Casualty Commission. The document is based on interviews with Banfield, her family and other witnesses.

The commission is leading the inquiry into the mass shootings on April 18 and 19, 2020, examining the tragedy and the factors that led up to it, including the violence in Wortman's family and his history of harassment and attacks on others.

Banfield, who is set to testify before the inquiry for the first time Friday, gave four police interviews following the massacre and five interviews with the commission itself in recent months.

Physical abuse began after party

The documents show that Banfield met Wortman in May 2001 at the now-defunct Halifax pub, the Thirsty Duck.

On their first date, he showed up with a dozen long-stemmed roses. Banfield felt that was "too showy," and said she wasn't impressed. But later in the evening, she was impressed by the gunman's calm demeanour when his car was rear-ended.

Things moved quickly after that. Three months later, Banfield had moved in with the gunman.

Initially, she described Wortman as "sweet and caring." That was before the first time she was physically abused, following a party at a cottage in Sutherland Lake, about a half-hour drive north of Portapique.

Although witnesses differed on when the incident happened — Banfield said it was in 2001, others suggested it was as late as 2007 — the commission said it was likely after October 2002 when the gunman bought his Portapique cottage.

Banfield said Renée Karsten, a denturist who worked with Wortman at his Dartmouth clinic, invited the couple up for the night. But when Banfield wanted to leave and offered to take the gunman's Jeep home so he could stay, this "set him off."

As she left, the gunman jumped in the car and began hitting her in the head as she continued trying to drive. Banfield said she was crying so hard she couldn't see, so she stopped and fled into the woods.

The gunman soon caught Banfield and dragged her back to the car, but she ran away again when a group of people from the party arrived.

Karsten told police she saw Wortman dragging Banfield by the hair in the driveway, so she "lost it" and tried to intervene.

"His face and just the look in his eyes … it scared the hell out of me," Karsten told police.

Police involved, no charges laid

Karsten brought Banfield back to the cottage, and police came and drove the gunman back to his Portapique home. Banfield said that was the only time police were involved, and nothing came of the incident.

The commission said in the document it's unclear exactly why police were called and what they knew about the situation. While police records from this time "may have been purged" by now, the commission continues to investigate.

When Banfield eventually returned to the Portapique cottage that night, she saw the gunman pulling the tires off her car and throwing them over a bank. He told her to come inside, but she went to a neighbour's and waited for her niece to pick her up.

The niece, Stephanie Goulding, said Banfield was bloody and scraped up, with torn clothing. Goulding wanted to stop into the Truro police station to report the assault, but Banfield "begged" her not to, so instead a sister took photos of her injuries.

Banfield moved back into her sister Maureen Banfield's home after this, but Wortman soon began visiting and apologizing, saying he'd been drinking and he would never hurt her again — and they got back together.

This pattern would continue through the years, both Banfield and two of her sisters told police. The few times her family knew of the abuse and urged her to report it or leave the relationship, Banfield didn't want to take that step.

The gunman would often kick and punch the parts of her body that could be covered by clothing, Banfield said, like arms and legs. If he left marks on her neck while choking her, Banfield said she would use makeup to cover them.

On at least two occasions, Banfield said he put a gun to her head. 

"He would say afterwards, 'If I didn't love you, I wouldn't do this because that's how much I care about you,'" she told the commission.

One sister, Janice Banfield, called the gunman a "sociopath" and said she thought "we're gonna have to bury our sister one day."

But Banfield said she felt she had nowhere to go, because the gunman frequently threatened to kill her or her family if she ever left him.

"He would be like, 'I know where your family lives,' and look at me a certain way," she said.

Violence more prevalent than first reported

While Banfield originally told RCMP officers there had been around 10 incidents of physical abuse over the years, she has since told the commission there were actually far more.

"I just don't trust very well, and I was scared to say anything," she told the commission this May.

She originally told police years would go by between attacks, and the last time had been three years before the mass shooting. Upon reflection, Banfield told the commission that was part of her coping mechanism. 

Banfield would write a journal entry about an incident but never revisit it, so she believed an assault hadn't happened in years even though it was happening "all along."

"I would just have to block it out because … I needed to deal with whatever is going on in that moment, so I couldn't think about what's gone on," Banfield said.

Only one neighbour reported abuse

There were at least two instances of abuse witnessed by other people in Portapique. 

One day, the gunman's uncle Glynn Wortman and another neighbour saw him choking Banfield on the front lawn of their cottage. The uncle yelled, "You're just like your father, get off of her," Banfield recalled.

Earlier this week, the inquiry heard accounts from several of the gunman's uncles describing incidents of his father, Paul Wortman, abusing his wife, Evelyn.

One Portapique neighbour, Brenda Forbes, heard about the incident Glynn Wortman saw and reported it to the RCMP in 2013. Nothing came of her complaint, and Forbes said no one else in the community believed her or wanted to get involved. 

Banfield said she never told her family doctor about the abuse, and was careful to schedule visits only when she had no visible injuries.

Psychologist urged her to leave

But at one point, Banfield said things were "so bad" she saw a psychologist in Bedford who told her she was in an abusive relationship. This professional provided support and encouraged her to leave, but the gunman found out about it and made her stop.

The gunman also threatened to confront the doctor, Banfield said, and she felt "trapped."

Although Banfield said she was always "on eggshells" around the gunman, never knowing what would set him off, she consistently forgave his behaviour and tried to show him he was loved because "everybody always left him."

In a statement to the commission, Banfield wrote she felt bad for the gunman when he told her about how his father abused him as a child, especially because she had such a large and loving family.

"I thought I could help him if I just loved him unconditionally," Banfield said.

Controlling, isolating behaviour 

The range of abuse the gunman inflicted on Banfield fits into the definitions of intimate-partner violence and coercive control, which are laid out in an inquiry report from Dr. Katreena Scott on interventions to address abuse.

Scott writes that intimate-partner violence includes a range of behaviours besides physical violence, like unwanted sexual activity, threats, humiliation, and economic abuse which deprives a victim of the ability to provide for their own needs.

Coercive control is a set of behaviours that disempower someone in a relationship, Scott said, like removing their liberties, threats to their family, and limiting access to loved ones or transportation.

"Very early on there were so many signs of his controlling or bullying behaviour, but somehow, I was able to block it out and justify to myself how badly he treated me," Banfield wrote in a statement to the commission.

"Gabriel was jealous, controlling, possessive, extremely degrading, and piggish; it was 'his way or the highway.'"

Banfield said within the first couple of years, the gunman was able to convince her to quit her bank job at RBC so she could come work for his denturist business, which would make it easier for them to take time off and travel together. 

"I realize now that he just wanted to control my entire life," Banfield wrote to the commission.

He urged her to sell the car she'd had throughout her previous marriage, and he eventually bought her a Mercedes under his name.

Banfield was in the gunman's will by 2011, but her sister Maureen Banfield was worried she'd be left with nothing if they broke up because she had no other income or investments of her own.

By 2020, Banfield said she believed she was making around $25 an hour, but the clinic didn't have a regular payroll system. Instead, the gunman would write her cheques from a business account or give her cash, sometimes deducting a percentage from her cheques "for retirement," she said.

"He dealt with all the money things, so I trusted whatever," Banfield told the commission.

'He wanted me to know that without him, I had nothing'

Besides her work at his clinics, Banfield said she would wait on the gunman "hand and foot" by making all the meals and handling the cleaning and organizing of the household. She told one of her sisters it was the way she was raised and she wanted to take on these tasks.

Banfield said in her written statement the gunman controlled everything in her life, so when she didn't obey, he could take things away to "punish her," including her car keys, phone and salary.

"He wanted me to know that without him, I had nothing. I believed that," she wrote. "Made me feel so stupid and incapable of doing things on my own even though I did everything for him."

The gunman also often groped Banfield in front of her family because he thought "it was funny," she said, and their sexual relationship was always defined by his wants and needs, not hers.

Sex between them did not involve intimacy or tenderness, Banfield wrote to the commission, and said the gunman was "addicted to pornography." 

Despite his many affairs, including with Portapique neighbours or his own patients, Banfield said she forgave him every time — and "I am so ashamed of that."

Unhappy with Banfield socializing

While Banfield said the gunman would often become mad at her for wanting to see her siblings or other family, Banfield said he also didn't like her becoming too friendly with people in Portapique.

If he saw her having fun at neighbourhood parties, Banfield said the gunman would put her down in front of others for "acting like an idiot" and drag her away by the arm. If she refused, he would become violent and slap her or pull her hair.

At work, Banfield said he also belittled her and screamed at her in front of patients. When out for dinner one night, the gunman threw a glass of water in her face and left her alone in the restaurant.

The gunman's controlling behaviour and jealousy appeared to weigh on Banfield's mind. One time, Banfield saw another denturist while out drinking with her sister, and was terrified they might tell the gunman because she wasn't supposed to be out.

When her mother died, her high school boyfriend attended the funeral, but Banfield ushered him out, saying the gunman disliked him and would be upset he was there.

The violence and control from the gunman lasted until April 18, 2020, when he attacked Banfield on the night of their 19th anniversary. He threw her in his mock RCMP cruiser, but she said she escaped through an opening in the car's partition and hid in the woods overnight.

Lisa Banfield re-enactment videos raise questions about why she was charged

Women’s Shelters Canada worries Banfield's experience with police will deter other women from reporting abuse

The release of new videos showing the longtime partner of the Nova Scotia mass shooter re-enacting what she saw and experienced the night of the rampage is raising questions about why police charged her in the weeks following the shootings.

The Mass Casualty Commission released footage Wednesday of Lisa Banfield walking an RCMP investigator through what she remembered happening in Portapique, N.S., on April 18 and 19, 2020, including how her partner beat her and tried to handcuff her.

The re-enactment was filmed in late October 2020, six months after Gabriel Wortman killed 22 people while driving a mock RCMP car.

A few weeks after filming the re-enactment, Banfield was charged with supplying ammunition to the gunman. 

The Crown eventually determined there was no public interest in sending the case to trial and instead referred the matter to restorative justice. Upon completion, the criminal charge will be dropped.

"I have concerns about the timeline and concerns about the fact she was charged in the first place," Banfield's defence lawyer, James Lockyer, said Thursday.

Erin Breen, a lawyer representing three sexual assault and justice groups — Avalon Sexual Assault Centre, Wellness Within, and the Women's Legal Education and Action Fund —  said she has concerns with the sequence of events.

"It's always been a very troubling issue from our perspective. My clients were quite outraged when they learned that Ms. Banfield was being charged," she said.

"Systemically it's a problem when a survivor comes forward and shares information about their survival behaviour and ends up getting charged in a criminal investigation." 

Banfield said she pleaded with gunman

In the videos released Wednesday, Banfield explains how the couple had been marking their 19th anniversary when they began fighting.

After she turned in for the night, Banfield said the gunman pulled the covers off the bed and assaulted her, kicking her into the bedpost. He then pulled her through the cottage, which she noticed was already doused in gasoline, and set the building on fire once they got outside, she told the investigator.

Banfield said the gunman dragged her into the garage and tried to put her in handcuffs. 

"Looking at his eyes, there was nothing there," she said. "It was just so cold."

Banfield was able to escape — shoeless  — and hide for the next few hours, terrified he would find her as she heard gunshots.

Medical records released through the inquiry show Banfield spent five nights in hospital after suffering a fractured rib and vertebrae, as well as extensive bruising and scrapes from the night of April 18.

Other documents made public Thursday as part of the commission covered how the gunman used violence, emotional abuse and other controlling behaviour toward Banfield for nearly two decades.

Push for more police training 

Megan Stephens, lawyer for Women's Shelters Canada, said she worries Banfield's experience will discourage other women from going to police.

"I'm concerned about the message that people get because sometimes violence is such that people do need to call the police; there is no one else who could step in to protect them," she said.

"But in this case, it feels like there were multiple failures of that, and the message that I think unfortunately women will get if they connect these dots, if they themselves are living in abusive relationships, is I don't know if that's the right option for me."

The public inquiry into the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shooting released dramatic, previously unseen video and testimony from the gunman's spouse Wednesday. She described suffering years of abuse at the gunman's hand, including on the night he killed 22 people.

Breen said she hopes the commission's work will at least spark a conversation about how police and the justice system should approach intimate partner abuse.

"You see it quite commonly in situations where women are defending themselves in a violent conformation, end up getting charged with assault themselves," she said. 

"The current policy of a pro-arrest, pro-charge, pro-prosecution removes any choice or power from the person who has survived the violence."

Stephens said she also hopes police get more training about how to recognize and better respond to abuse, including controlling behaviour.

"Intimate partner violence doesn't just involve discrete acts of physical violence, there are other ways in which controlling, coercive behaviour can really lead people to basically be stuck in situations and to have no control," she said.

"Unfortunately, there is not enough training that goes into preparing officers who are on the front line. All the more so in some of these rural communities where you don't have specialists, you have generalists."

Banfield felt 'betrayed' by re-enactment filming

In an interview Banfield gave to a commission lawyer in April of this year, she said she felt ambushed by the re-enactment filming.

She said she wanted to meet RCMP Sgt. Greg Vardy at the cottage in Portapique so he could see where her sneakers had been left and where she had hid overnight. It was the first time she had returned to the cottage since the night of the rampage. 

"I heard that people were thinking I'm lying about what happened, it's like, I thought if I go up there for the first time, I want somebody to see that, you know, to find my shoes, to find this tree, to find the things that I'm telling you that happened," she said.

But Banfield said when she went to meet the Mountie, he had brought along a small audio and video crew.

"It was just feeling like I was betrayed," she said. 

Her sister, Maureen, later jumps in on the interview. She said Banfield wasn't in the right mental shape to do the re-enactment. 

"Here's the thing that I feel is probably the deepest betrayal in terms of the manipulation of her actually being investigated without our knowledge," Maureen Banfield said.

"It was horrific and I think it was very damning to her mentally, and that's for me, I think, the most egregious thing that took place in terms of her well-being and putting her first." 

Banfield not under investigation during filming

A spokesperson for the RCMP said Banfield was not under investigation at the time of the re-enactment filming.

"The victim/witness video re-enactment was related to a period of time where Ms. Banfield was a victim of multiple crimes. Given that she was not under investigation, it would not have been appropriate to provide her with rights that are given to a person who is being investigated for an offence or who is under arrest," said Cpl. Chris Marshall.

"Lisa Banfield was provided her reason for arrest, rights to counsel and police warning, as required by the law, during the investigation in which she is charged with ammunition-related offences."

3 accused of giving N.S. gunman ammunition named in lawsuit filed by families

Lisa Banfield, James Banfield, Brian Brewster listed as defendants alongside shooter's estate

Three people accused of giving ammunition to the man responsible for killing 22 people in Nova Scotia have now been added as defendants to the proposed class-action lawsuit launched by families of the victims. 

On April 18 and 19, denturist Gabriel Wortman killed neighbours, acquaintances and strangers, and burned several homes, including his cottage, before being shot and killed by police in Enfield, N.S. During most of the attacks, he was driving a decommissioned cruiser that he'd adapted to look like a real RCMP vehicle. 

The gunman's common-law spouse, Lisa Banfield, 52, her brother James Blair Banfield, 54, of Beaver Bank, N.S., and her brother-in-law Brian Brewster, 60, of Lucasville, N.S., have been charged with unlawfully providing the shooter with .223-calibre Remington cartridges and .40-calibre Smith & Wesson cartridges in the month leading up to the massacre, which began in Portapique, N.S.

Lisa Banfield is facing two counts and her relatives are each facing one count. They're all expected to enter pleas at their next court date in Dartmouth provincial court on March 9

Now, in addition to the criminal charges, the three are named in the lawsuit that argues they and the gunman's estate —which has been valued at $2.1 million — are liable to the families of the people who lost their lives, the estates and people who suffered damage to property and people who were injured due to Wortman's actions. 

There is a separate lawsuit families have filed against the RCMP and the province. 

Twenty-two people died on April 18 and 19. 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 statement of claim filed against the estate alleges that in addition to killing 22 people, Wortman injured six people, killed five pets and burned or damaged three vehicles and four homes. 

Lisa Banfield, James Banfield and Brian Brewster's names were added to the lawsuit on Feb. 5. The other defendants include the public trustee, which is representing Wortman's estate, and three companies Wortman owned and controlled: Berkshire Broman Corp., Atlantic Denture Clinic Inc., and Northumberland Investments Inc.

"Ultimately, our job is to protect the interests of the families of those lost in the April tragedies and of course the victims, the survivors of that tragedy as well," said lawyer Sandra McCulloch, who represents the plaintiffs. "That requires us pursuing this avenue of potential recourse and accountability and answers for our families." 

In order to proceed as a class action, the Nova Scotia Supreme Court must certify the lawsuit. That has not yet happened. None of the named defendants have filed statements in response to the allegations made by the plaintiffs. 

The burned remains of Gabriel Wortman’s cottage in Portapique, N.S. Wortman disguised himself as a Mountie and over the course of 13 hours the night of April 18, 2020, and the following morning travelled nearly 200 kilometres in and around Portapique, killing 22 people. (Steve Lawrence/CBC)

When the RCMP announced the criminal charges in December, the force said the trio were not aware of Wortman's plans.

The criminal case "coupled with the other information and evidence that we've been gathering on our end adds up to there being support for some degree of culpability on the part of each of those individuals," said McCulloch. 

Lawsuit alleges spouse acquired gasoline

The updated statement of claim alleges that Lisa Banfield "was aware of and facilitated Wortman's preparations, including but not limited to, his accumulation of firearms, ammunition, other weapons, gasoline, police paraphernalia, and the outfitting of a replica RCMP vehicle." 

It alleges Banfield "directly acquired some of the accelerants and ammunition used by Wortman in the crime spree" and that James Banfield and Brian Brewster also "directly acquired" ammunition. 

The proposed lawsuit claims all three were "negligent in [the] acquisition of these items" and that they "knew or ought to have known that Wortman had tortious intentions."

McCulloch declined to elaborate on the exact nature of the additional evidence gathered to support the allegations. 

The investigative firm Martin and Associates has been working with Patterson Law since the law firm was retained by the families. Last fall it set up a website to collect tips and information related to the mass shootings

Though police have said Lisa Banfield was the first victim of violence in Portapique on April 18, she was always excluded as a plaintiff from the families' lawsuit. 

"From our perspective, there has always been a possibility of a conflict of interest between [Banfield's] interest and those of our clients. And you're seeing that now manifest itself in our amendments," said McCulloch.

Spouse suing estate separately

In a separate civil case, however, Banfield is also suing her former partner's estate, which includes six properties, three corporations and $705,000 in cash seized from the wreckage of the couple's cottage in Portapique.

In her statement of claim, which was filed with the Nova Scotia Supreme Court last summer, Banfield said she was the victim of assault and battery, and suffered physical, emotional and psychological injuries and trauma.

Search warrant documents show several people told investigators Banfield, who lived with Wortman above the denture clinic in Dartmouth where they both worked, was abused during their 19-year relationship.

Lawyers representing Banfield are also opposing the application by CBC and other media organizations to lift some redactions in the search warrants related to the mass shooting investigation.

Banfield opposed to lifting redactions

In documents filed with the court on Feb. 5, James Lockyer and Jessica Zita, the Toronto lawyers who are representing Banfield, argue that 13 redacted paragraphs should remain blacked out because they explain the Crown's case against their client and "invades Lisa solicitor-client privilege." 

One paragraph is a summary of a statement Banfield's friend and lawyer Kevin van Bargen gave to police. 

"His information deals with business and financial affairs, unrelated and peripheral to the events. This invasion of Lisa's solicitor-client privilege is unwarranted, would not be permitted at her trial, and should not be provided to the media," the lawyers stated in the filings. 

Their filings said Lisa Banfield gave four statements to police, on April 19, April 20, April 28 and July 28. They said the other sections that should remain redacted pertain to her statements and those made by her co-accused and other family members who spoke to police between April and July.

Meanwhile, work on a public inquiry into the mass killings is underway. Last month the commission announced the staff who will lead the teams involved in the joint federal-provincial inquiry.

Cross-examination of N.S. killer's spouse could promote conspiracy theories: lawyer

HALIFAX -

There are good reasons why the spouse of the man responsible for the worst mass shooting in modern Canadian history should not face cross-examination when she testifies Friday before a public inquiry, her lawyer says.

James Lockyer said Thursday his client, Lisa Banfield, should not be retraumatized by lawyers who seem determined to explore conspiracy theories about what happened April 18-19, 2020, when Gabriel Wortman killed 22 people during a 13-hour rampage across Nova Scotia.

The Toronto lawyer said some lawyers who represent victims' families appear keen to ask Banfield how she managed to escape from her deranged partner and survive a bitterly cold night in the woods around Portapique, N.S., on the first night of the rampage.

"Some of the lawyers, one or two of them, have been pretty hyperbolic in their statements," Lockyer said in an interview with The Canadian Press.

"They talk of wanting to cross-examine her about certain aspects of her trauma that night without ever explaining their goals. And their goals, when you think about it, can only be conspiracy-theorist goals."

Lockyer said the purpose of raising questions about Banfield's whereabouts would be to challenge her credibility and suggest that she may have spent the night elsewhere, which he says is absurd.

"These mass casualty events, particularly (those) we've seen south of the border, do give rise to conspiracy theorists," Lockyer said. "We don't need that in Canada. We don't need that in Nova Scotia. I think the commission is to be congratulated that they're not willing to entertain it."

Lawyer Michael Scott, whose firm represents 14 of the victims' families, challenged Lockyer's conspiracy comments, arguing that the inquiry's decision to limit questioning will leave lingering doubts about Banfield's testimony.

"There are very good questions to be asked about how she survived overnight," Scott said Thursday. "And by arranging a process where nobody is allowed to ask reasonable questions, then this promotes conspiracy theories."

The three commissioners overseeing the federal-provincial inquiry recently decided Banfield will not face cross-examination from lawyers who represent relatives of the victims, mainly because she could be traumatized by having to relive the violence she endured.

The inquiry has heard evidence that Banfield, whose relationship with Wortman spanned 19 years, was the victim of a controlling, abusive man who repeatedly beat her. Banfield has also told the RCMP and the commission that she was beaten and threatened immediately before her husband started killing people in Portapique.

On Thursday, the commission issued written reasons for its decision to limit questioning of Banfield, arguing that the role of a public inquiry is not the same as a trial.

"We have been clear from the beginning that this is not an adversarial, trial-like proceeding," the ruling says. The decision says the commission's approach "represents the most effective way to gather Ms. Banfield's best evidence."

Sandra McCulloch, a lawyer who works at the same firm as Scott, said inquiries and trials should share a commitment to finding facts.

"As much as we're in a different kind of legal proceeding, we're still in a proceeding where we have to have reliable evidence, and part of having reliable evidence is allowing it to be tested," McCulloch said. "That's largely not going to happen."

McCulloch is concerned that Banfield will not be asked about her partner's violent behaviour while they were together on that deadly weekend in April 2020.

In an earlier statement, the commission said Banfield may be accompanied by two support people and will "address remaining questions relevant to the commission's mandate."

Earlier this week, the commission released a 100-page document based on evidence provided by Banfield during four interviews with the RCMP and five interviews with the inquiry. That document provided extensive details about the killer's long history of gender-based violence.

As well, the inquiry on Wednesday was shown a video recording of a 90-minute RCMP interview, which featured Banfield providing a detailed description of what happened to her on the night of April 18, 2020.

The commission has confirmed participating lawyers have been invited to submit questions in advance of Banfield's testimony, and they can bring forward further questions on Friday.

Scott has said his clients have instructed him not to submit written questions for Banfield because doing so would lend legitimacy to a flawed process.

Lawyers for some families boycotted proceedings in May after the inquiry prevented cross-examination of two RCMP staff sergeants who oversaw the early response to the mass shooting.

Lockyer said his client was feeling apprehensive about appearing before the inquiry, which will be the first time she has spoken in public about the tragedy.

"I know ... she says to herself, `If I hadn't run and got away, would I have saved 22 lives?' And of course she says that to herself and always will. The probable answer is that it would have been 23 lives and not 22, but she's never going to believe that."

It's important to remember that Banfield was the first victim of the "mass casualty" event, he said.

"I don't think Lisa sees herself as a victim. She's too conscious of the people who were killed and their families. It's going to be a difficult day for her."

Dear Frank:
I’m not a fan of your magazine; however, recently you have stepped out
of the fray and produced some very good journalism. Your interview
with Gabriel Wortman’s father being the most noteworthy. Some of your
Portapique coverage is noteworthy. Frank has a place in society.
However, your recent inclusion of Paul Palango is pointing you and our
neighbours in a very dark place as a society. I can’t reveal my real
identity due to my employment as I would be shunned by my colleagues
in media. I am aware, based on verifiable information that the
Canadian mainstream media has turned its back on Paul Palango, who was
a onetime trusted news source and held respect.
The tide began to shift several years ago when some of his views were
not based on credible information, but conjecture and speculation or
as the mainstream media believes, he is falling into some mental
health crisis.
Maclean’s leaned into Paul because he seemed to have information
nobody else had, and produced sources within the Mounties. It’s just
they were not credible, and had an axe to grind. Maclean’s verified
this fact and they cut Paul loose after that infamous story from last
June.
And they told other media sources that he is treacherous.
A colleague is working on a story about Lisa Banfield that has her and
her lawyer working on a libel suit against Frank and Paul. My sources
tell me the Mounties have nothing to suggest she is misaligned and
very much is a victim. After the inquiry and the evidence comes out
they will be positioned to be successful in showing Palango was
libellous.
I support what you do, I don’t agree with the style, but we are a free
society. My only reason for stepping in is that you are printing what
will be shown to be his false narrative based on untrustworthy sources
and possibly mental illness.
Ivana Smear,
Via email

Dear Ms. Smear:
This may come as a surprise to you, but I’ve heard this all before.
My position is very clear.
Since the first reports of gunshots at Portapique Beach on April 18,
2020, the response by the RCMP has been stranger than strange.
The Mounties arrived on scene in time to potentially trap the killer
in the community and perhaps prevent at least the last five murders.
Instead, Wortman got past them, had a rest in Debert, and then was
allowed to roam around Nova Scotia, killing nine more people.
Lisa Banfield says she hid in the woods for about eight hours on a
blistering cold night. She went to Leon Joudrey’s house at 6:34 a.m.
He has told many reporters and the police that he did not believe her
story.
The earliest reports claimed Banfield suffered severe injuries from a
beating administered by Gabriel Wortman.
Actually, the RCMP and the Crown blacked out the first description of
those injuries. The word they blacked out was “minor,” which was
consistent with what Joudrey said.
You suggest that I am treacherous and not trusted by the mainstream
media because of a story you highlighted in Maclean’s magazine from
last June.
For that story we obtained a copy of the RCMP’s undercover manual.
Among other things described in that document are the procedures the
force should use in a blown undercover operation.
The actions of the RCMP before, during and after the weekend of April
18-19 largely conform to the procedures described. I’ve spent the past
eight months trying to disprove that there was an undercover operation
in Portapique — to no avail.
The more I investigate the more it appears that someone in Wortman’s
circle appeared to have a special relationship with the authorities —
be they the RCMP, Halifax Police or even CSIS. Nothing is conclusive,
but that doesn’t mean you just give up because it’s too difficult.
That isn’t in my DNA.
My role as a journalist is to act as a disinterested investigator
whose duty it is to uncover the truth and show no fear or favouritism
to anyone. Like a pathologist, I am a friend of the dead. As Joseph
Pulitizer once put it: “Newspapers should have no friends.”
I am not here to be liked. I am not in it for the money, although some
uninformed critics have wrongly accused me of being so. I am here to
be the agent of the story and to do what it dictates that I must do.
As for Ms. Banfield, I believe it is in the public interest that her
story be fully examined because she was apparently the last person to
see Wortman before he went on his rampage.
You say Maclean’s dropped me because I was unreliable.
I can assure you that is not what happened.
I withdrew my story and chose to run it in Frank, as written.
That same story generated a number of leads which lead to the
discovery of the Pictou County analog recordings from the weekend in
question.
Stories about what was on those tapes brought even more stories and leads.
That’s what good journalists do.
As for my mental health, some people think I’m crazy for doing what
I’m doing. I have a nice, comfortable life. I took this on to help
other journalists, but when I found their work wanting, I got more and
more involved. That being the case, maybe I do have a mental health
issue. I admit that I can be a pain in the ass, but I always strive to
do the right thing.
The funny thing about my mental health is that the one agency slyly
pushing that narrative has been the RCMP.
“Look at the source,” referring to me, when another reporter tried
following up one of my stories.
“Another fairy tale,” Supt. Darren Campbell put it to the CBC’s
Elizabeth McMillan when commenting on another story. I stand by my
work in the past and now. Don’t you find it disturbing that the RCMP
is willing to invest in character assassination rather than address
the very real issues raised about his dysfunctional organization?
That’s not a good thing in a supposed democracy.
If you still insist on pushing the mental health angle, perhaps we can
both submit to a Rorschach test to determine who sees the crazier
stuff in the inkblots.
You also state that Banfield and her lawyer, James Lockyer, are
planning to sue me sometime down the road.
I know Mr. Lockyer from my days in Toronto. He lived on the next block
when he was defending Rubin (Hurricane) Carter, who strolled by my
house on his regular walks. Lockyer is a good lawyer and always has
been. He’s got to do what he thinks is best for his client.
If Banfield is truly planning to head down that road, I would give her
and Lockyer the following advice.
This is not my first rodeo. As a corporate journalist and as an
individual over the course of my career, I’ve been involved in about
18 major lawsuits (mostly on behalf of reporters who worked for me)
and occasionally as a plaintiff. I’m 16 and 0 with a couple of draws.
My last case should be seen as instructive.
In the mid-1990s, a group of individuals hiding behind a $3-billion
corporation listed on the New York Stock Exchange sued me for
$11-million to stop me from asking questions about them. It didn’t
stop me. They went up to $20 million. It still didn’t stop me. They
tried to hire hit man Ken Murdock to kill me. Murdock turned down the
job because he didn’t think it was right to kill a civilian.
How do I know? I met him. I spent four days in the maximum-security
Kingston Penitentiary interviewing him.
I didn’t counter-sue the company. Instead, I launched an entirely
different suit against it, its executives and lawyers. I called their
lawsuit “public relations.” It ended up being an almost 10-year fight.
The company went bankrupt, but the individuals didn’t. I ended up
getting a nice house of it.
The bottom line is this. I am prepared to take the slings and many
arrows that are fired back at me as a result of what I write.
But attacking the messenger is what the desperate and corrupt have
always done. It’s as old as the Old Testament. Look up Malachi.
The Greek philosopher Sophocles put it this way: “No one loves the
messenger who brings bad news.”
And here’s my take on it all: If you don’t like what I’m reporting and
writing, get off your butt, suck up some courage, do some of your own
investigating and either confirm what I’m reporting or prove me wrong.
You’d be doing everyone a favour — including yourself.
Paul Palango,
Chester

If the rcmp had answers that could be strung together coherently maybe
I could trust what they say. But that hasn't happened .… See more

MCC Day 46 – Presentation of Lisa Banfield’s Interviews and Re-enactments

This was a dramatic day of evidence in the Mass Casualty Commission. For the first time, we have heard the voice of Lisa Banfield, and were able to walk in her shoes, in a sense, as she did a re-enactment of her movements during the overnight hours of April 18-19, 2020. This was all in advance of her expected appearance on Friday, and seemed designed to remove all drama from that appearance. Before the presentation, we heard from two Australian experts on gender-based violence.

Leon Joudrey: in his own words

Leon, I don't know you but think of you often. He killed 3 people in my hometown (of Shubie) including the Mountie. Everyone who knows the back roads from Halifax to Portipique, knows exactly what roads to take to keep away from cops, driving on exactly the roads he chose, all the way to Shubenacadie, and on to Enfield. When we had active detachments in our small communities (like in Stewiacke), we had much better police service.
4
Wow. Thank God for him speaking out. God bless you all.
4
God bless you Tara. We are ALL here for you and the other families. We WILL NOT stop.
6
Leon you and I need to get out for a dive this summer. Stay well man.
At least I can catch this one live!
6
Any bourbon?
2
and they didn't check Leon's house at the first chance the other thing that strikes me @34:34 is the mounties don't really want to investigate it. it seems odd that Banfield ditched the jacket.
2
I just glistening to this one. And Leon says. He left his place at 3:45 to 4am. Drove by GW saw a cop in a passenger seat of the car and he figured they were looking for GW. He said they were on the speaker thing told me to go to the entrance... Wouldn't Lisa B have heard that?? Leon said he ignored that and drove past Blair's and Lisa mccully place and than around the other rd. Would Leon with headlights on driving around see Lisa M on the lawn and Corry on the street.. He also said he noticed a flicker at someone house .. I can't remeber who and said he knew something was wrong than.. But he already knew GW house was on fire.. And had hear 3 gun shots before he dozed off to sleep at 10pm right after he called a friend... Who was the fruend? Lisa B Lisa M. Maybe GW figured out Lisa B had a call Leon right before 10pm???
For Leon : did it look like Lisa had been crying? I saw an earlier report where her eye makeup was perfect??!? What kind of person can hear the neighbourhood being slaughtered and set ablaze, and not be absolutely terrified and hysterical? Her not coming out of the woods hours earlier has always bothered me. Corrie’s brother came out, yet she “cowered”? Corries brother came out frost bitten after 3-4 hours, she was in the woods 6-8 and no shoes or jacket. No visible injuries, no frost bite??!? No marcara running down her face?
1
He drove to great village fire hall and spoke with Terry Brown...
happy thanksgiving to you all!
5
14:40 Nice catch Seamus Also further along:residence in maine lines up with american flag parafanalia on Gabe's chopper tank and biker jacket ..juss sayin and $465/hr maybe working on other choppers ..or maybe that's the going rate for smugglers n hitmen these days ..or salary for civilian sector rcmp might be somewhere around $465grand a year. PS you won't see my surveillance cameras from outside my place either. If it can be seen outside then it can be disabled
4
Sorry Seamus.. still watching and adding to this..what if Gabe only used the decorated rcmp car for midnight border crossing/smuggling purposes? Maybe that's why that particular car was not seen often by locals.. would be interesting to know when exactly he had the 28B11 car number decal printed..since that number can be attached to Covid antibody clone lab results

 @Lil Miss Sew It All  I've seen Heidi as the prime target from the start too a whistleblower taken out for betraying code red
1
Great interview BUT the Newfoundland women comment was not called for .. I have been to Newfoundland a few times over my lifetime and the people and epically the WOMEN were beautiful ..
2
Where these crime scenes bulldozed like the Sherman murders and the Pickton crime Scene?
7
Pretty telling if you ask me 🤔
2
Yes and willy p was making snuff so there were definitely cameras on the pickton property too..same with Wortman properties there woulda been surveillance cameras for sure and sherman's likely too..tho I'd no idea sherman property got dozed over too! 🤯
1
 @Jarvis Church  lol we are living in the cloud these days likely sent straight to his cell and also stored in the cloud..where it cannot be burned up or destroyed by anyone but gabriel himself..and if you're here to be the boss of what people might feel is related (or unrelated for that matter) it's likely you who will end up being unwelcome here. Lil miss has been here from the start ..and she contributes
1
 @Lil Miss Sew It All  and you're absolutely right about willy..not only has he admitted he did not work alone he just took the fall alone. And he got plenty free passes from his complicit co-conspirators
1
You guys are getting warmer...
2
why wasn't this crime scene locked down...
This video has 7000+ views and most other of LGC vids are about 1000. Hmm
I'm not handsome like Leon... And YT messes with the numbers 😉. We can't believe everything that we see... But I am not as handsome lol
 @Little Grey Cells  haha very funny. Yes I figured that too about the #s. The LB vids got a lot of views too hmm
Leon also says Lisa B came to his door in black spandex pants on.. Dressed in black not freezing just shaking. Scared so he put her in the bathroom till he called 911.. They came and took her right out.. Black spandex. I thought right before this happened she was in bed when GW came to drag her out.. Does she wear black spandex to bed usually?
Not to disrespect the guy being interviewed.. but it appears people thought Leon Joudrey was just as crazy as Gabe.. crazy enuf to be shooting guns and lighting fires (according to his own received text messages) curious and curiouser And he was interviewed/interrogated but cannot say much because it's ongoing..but he can come on youtube 🤔 30:30 ..no NDA? Tho I totally get that he doesn't want to put families under duress... From personal experience closure doesn't come without full disclosure regardless of how harsh or disturbing those details may be.. imso 😏
7
And he slept for a couple hours (11-3am roughly?)..but he didn't get any sleep..he left the evacuation center..hid in the woods..left his gun behind under his blankets?..Uber contradictory statements coming from this guy..he's pretty much admitting that he himself could a been the shooter..he lived right there knew the area and the folks.. had guns and was known for setting fires apparently... He definitely don't like cops or at least the way they handled this.. and he admittedly travelled ahead of Gabe on the same route practically..before some of the killings.. plus he admits he held LB captive and wouldn't let her leave, put her in the bathroom? This whole scenario is beyond bizarre
3
 @Jarvis Church  I kinda thought the same by the end of this but contradictory statements nuntheless..did he sleep? Did he get no sleep? He was out running around unattended same routes as "gunman" travelled "behind" him...these are his own words not mine.. maybe I'm just being overskeptical.. but with paid actors and ex cops/military etc now being employed by agencies like www.crisiscast.com well...anything's possible. 🤔 Guys got the cop haircut and build.. but I'm sure all your average neighbours do too lol..I dunno. But it's a running pattern in this storyline where the only alleged witnesses are folks who've already moved away from the area or are military/cop connected.. plus Leon gets pretty political at the end here..for a non political guy.. and seems to be somewhat hostile toward police.. I mean cops asked him what's in his garage..gunman's on the loose but he doesn't ask them to search his property to make sure the gunman's not lurking around..after all his gf is in this guy's house right? Maybe I'm alone in thinking that Leon's own depiction of himself and what went down actually fit the rcmp profile for the shooter better than Gabe wortman does Just ain't adding up. Something's off
3
 @Jarvis Church  and I'm not saying Leon was the shooter by any means..I'm saying that by his own words here...he'da made a hella Denny suspect had wortman lived through this.. circumstantially speaking
 @Mike Jones  lol so I'm right on the money huh?🤭 😷Shush
 @Lil Miss Sew It All  that's right Any investigator or lawyer worth their salt will advise to leave personal emotion out of it
 @Lil Miss Sew It All  I know it's not what RCMP are claiming
 @Lil Miss Sew It All  yeah I honestly believe this was a case of certain individuals being targeted for a specific reason ...possibly the uncooperative property owners who don't wish to sell out to the oceanfront infastructure agenda..possibly whistleblowers ..possibly a combination of both..possibly none of the above but you're right on the mark when you say that the more murder victims the more confusing and the more difficult that makes it to sort out motives and intended targets etc. The perfect crime involves killing someone you've personally never met or known. No motive=No Investigation
 @Lil Miss Sew It All  PS moops like Mike jones up there are here attempting to discredit distract and dissuade. None of it works

Did I hear you say that you have lawyers in your family? If that it is so then it explains to me why you have been playing dumb with me Correct?
 
He had alway, from about the third stream stated he comes from family of lawyers. If you have been following along you well know he is far from stupid. He is one smart cookie, watch and learn. He is the only one who will find and get the answers with help from people who want the truth.

Methinks Madame Hupman asked some clever questions today N'esy Pas?
 
Je ne comprends pas.
 
 @Big Fun Garage  Of that I have no doubt
 
BF appears seriously ill, not credible, and laying the tracks for DV for LB. Sounds to me she was, and still is obsessed with GW and watched everything from her deck. Maybe he rejected her, we'll never know the truth. She spoke on behalf of many people , but had no proof, all hearsay. (Just my opinion)
 
 
 
 
 
2:50 - 2:51 We'd stash money up there and guns. Heard it mentioned at the time she said it, just wanted to time stamp it.
 
 
 
 
Brenda obviously has Parkinson or louy body dementia. Doesn't surprise me the rcmp would lie about her report because they didn't follow up. And I've had an ex setting outside my house and it's very intimidating and scary.

I don't see why you think she wouldn't think he was dangerous and why you are so against her?
 
Not against her, she seen nothing. No different then someone saying you did something without seen anything. Go through his old streams of her and he explains what she has to say it. Not what she seen she seen nothing. She is in with the coverup.

However the former Attorney General refused to look on the internet to
verify what I said was true. So I gave up on his bullshit and told him
to answer me in writing because I could easily the lawyer got the
damned email. Lockyer just refused to admit it tis all.

Go Figure Why I brought this up today

Controversial armoured vehicle to be set up in Sackville Memorial
Park, upsets residents

While residents agree veterans deserve to be commemorated, some worry
the armoured vehicle glorifies war
Tori Weldon · CBC News · Posted: Jun 18, 2019 7:08 AM AT

"Jeska Grue, whose backyard backs onto the park, said what's already
there is plenty.

"I don't feel that it's the best way for a memorial park [to]
commemorate veterans and those affected by war."

Grue said an armoured vehicle could be an upsetting symbol for people
who have first-hand experience with war.

Her grandfather served in the Second World War, where he worked as a
tank mechanic.

"He did suffer from [post-traumatic stress disorder] and alcoholism
for the rest of his life," she said. "To me, that's the memory that it
draws."

Grue said refugees starting a new life in Sackville may also be
troubled by the armoured vehicle sitting in the middle of town.

But Jim Lockyer, honorary colonel of the 8th Canadian Hussars, said
the Cougar should act as a way to commemorate previous battles.

"This is not glorifying war, if anything it's a memento to discourage it."

He's toured fields in Italy where soldiers belonging to the 8th
Canadian Hussars lost their lives fighting during the Second World
War.

"There are young men, 18 to 25 years old, one of whom was Stedman
Henderson from Moncton, who again did not come home and they're still
there," he said.

"So it's a testimonial to their contribution."

To: "motomaniac333@gmail.com" <motomaniac333@gmail.com>

I have the advantage, sir, of having read many of your emails over the years.


As such, I do not think a phone conversation between us, and
specifically one which you might mistakenly assume was in response to
your threat of legal action against me, is likely to prove a
productive use of either of our time.


If there is some specific matter about which you wish to communicate
with me, feel free to email me with the full details and it will be
given due consideration.


Sincerely,


Charles Murray

>> REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY THE COURT
>>
>> I.                    Introduction
>>
>> [1]               On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr. Amos)
>> filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court
>> against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million
>> in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and Provincial
>> Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary
>> properties and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public Safety
>> that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian
>> Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan
>> (Claim at para. 96).
>>
>> [2]               On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of a
>> motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the
>> Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to
>> amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim
>> disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious,
>> and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the
>> Prothontary’s Order).
>>
>>
>> [3]               On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr.
>> Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal
>> Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr.
>> Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages
>> for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in
>> 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).
>>
>>
>> [4]               Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the
>> Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status
>> Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19, 2016.
>> As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s
>> cross-appeal.
>>
>>
>> II.                 Preliminary Matter
>>
>> [5]               Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in
>> relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March
>> 6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two of
>> the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this appeal.
>> This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he believed
>> had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this
>> Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with
>> several judges but did not name those judges.
>>
>> [6]               Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to
>> identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because he
>> had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed
>> with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the Federal
>> Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed in
>> the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based on
>> subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985,
>> c. F-7:
>>
>>
>> 5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her
>> office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the
>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court of
>> Appeal.
>> […]
>>
>> 5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour
>> d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que
>> les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale.
>> […]
>> 5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of
>> that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the
>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court.
>>
>> 5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges de la
>> Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les
>> juges de la Cour fédérale.
>>
>>
>> [7]               However, these subsections only provide that the
>> judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice
>> versa). It does not mean that there is only one court. If the Federal
>> Court and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for this
>> section.
>> [8]               Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act provide
>> that:
>> 3 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
>> — Appeal Division is continued under the name “Federal Court of
>> Appeal” in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French. It is
>> continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and
>> for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as
>> a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
>>
>> 3 La Section d’appel, aussi appelée la Cour d’appel ou la Cour d’appel
>> fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour d’appel fédérale » en
>> français et « Federal Court of Appeal » en anglais. Elle est maintenue
>> à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du
>> Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et
>> continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en
>> matière civile et pénale.
>> 4 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
>> — Trial Division is continued under the name “Federal Court” in
>> English and “Cour fédérale” in French. It is continued as an
>> additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for
>> the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior
>> court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
>>
>> 4 La section de la Cour fédérale du Canada, appelée la Section de
>> première instance de la Cour fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée «
>> Cour fédérale » en français et « Federal Court » en anglais. Elle est
>> maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et
>> d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit
>> canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant
>> compétence en matière civile et pénale.
>>
>>
>> [9]               Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create
>> two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court
>> (section 4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the Federal
>> Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there would no
>> need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as required by
>> Rules 343 to 345 of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 in relation
>> to any appeal from a decision of the Federal Court. The requirement to
>> file an appeal book with this Court in relation to an appeal from a
>> decision of the Federal Court makes it clear that the only documents
>> that will be before this Court are the documents that are part of that
>> appeal book.
>>
>>
>> [10]           Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed on
>> March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in which
>> Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a
>> conflict in any matter related to him.
>>
>>
>> [11]           On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion
>> before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying the
>> conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the Federal
>> Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that if
>> Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the Federal
>> Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court.
>> Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this
>> cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is not a motion before this
>> Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court
>> will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought
>> before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in
>> relation to that motion are not part of the record of this Court.
>>
>>
>> [12]           During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that
>> the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest and
>> submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of a
>> conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also
>> afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict
>> that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in his
>> view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several pages of
>> documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the
>> documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the particular
>> judge and then, immediately following that biography, by including
>> copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that
>> such judge had a conflict.
>>
>>
>> [13]           The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is
>> that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada in
>> 2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before
>> that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he
>> had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law and
>> therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a partner
>> of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was
>> personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in which Mr.
>> Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that he
>> was a member of such firm.
>>
>>
>> [14]           During his oral submissions at the hearing of his
>> appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb,
>> focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at
>> Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos at
>> the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this
>> particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with this
>> lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such dealings were
>> after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the Tax
>> Court of Canada over 10 years ago.
>>
>>
>> [15]           The documents that he submitted in relation to the
>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings between
>> Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of
>> Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice Webb
>> practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing between
>> Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen May
>> who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The
>> affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of e-mails
>> that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included a
>> letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is John
>> Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson
>> Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to
>> “John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street,
>> Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a
>> possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer.
>> [16]           Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice Webb
>> was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In Wewaykum
>> Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R.
>> 259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a
>> judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable
>> apprehension of bias:
>> 60        In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the
>> criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de
>> Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy
>> Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the
>> reasonable apprehension of bias:
>> … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by
>> reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the
>> question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the words
>> of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed person,
>> viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having thought
>> the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely
>> than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or
>> unconsciously, would not decide fairly."
>>
>> [17]           The issue to be determined is whether an informed
>> person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and having
>> thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations
>> give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has
>> previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will
>> administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be
>> rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v.
>> Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See
>> also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R.
>> (4th) 193).
>>
>> [18]           The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v.
>> Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the Supreme
>> Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the
>> particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a
>> case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was
>> involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The Ontario
>> Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the
>> judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was a
>> lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for
>> determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the
>> rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict:
>> 27        Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a
>> finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over
>> which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement,
>> as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified.
>>
>>
>> 28        The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been
>> asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to
>> the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from
>> taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the
>> defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial
>> judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by the
>> Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield
>> Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that
>> there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge
>> and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances."
>>
>>
>> 29        It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an
>> inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the
>> different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of
>> judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification
>> of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of
>> conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous
>> involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J.
>> in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.),
>> for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying
>> interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory
>> statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential
>> information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the
>> opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge.
>> His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and
>> had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value
>> unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19.
>>
>>
>> 30        That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances
>> of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a
>> disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there are
>> two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not to
>> recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept,
>> that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and
>> that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of
>> time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85:
>>             To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform
>> the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this
>> involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor is
>> the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on
>> circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making,
>> or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making.
>> 31        There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson
>> Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of
>> trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had
>> been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with
>> his former firm for a considerable period of time.
>>
>>
>> 32        In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter
>> realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly
>> and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because
>> of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement
>> in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage.
>> In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the
>> trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact that
>> his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a
>> decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he would
>> either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former
>> client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw
>> off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour a
>> client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six years
>> earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving
>> events from over a decade ago.
>> (emphasis added)
>>
>> [19]           Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter
>> involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or
>> Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made it
>> clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the
>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of
>> Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for
>> Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with
>> Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have
>> had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he
>> was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any
>> involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos had
>> with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is
>> sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since
>> Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer would
>> also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in Justice
>> Webb hearing this appeal.
>>
>> [20]           Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R.
>> (2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal found that there was no
>> reasonable apprehension of bias when a judge, who had been a member of
>> the law firm that had been retained by the accused, had no involvement
>> with the accused while he was a lawyer with that firm.
>>
>> [21]           In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4
>> F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a
>> reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was a
>> lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person who
>> was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as
>> Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files involving Mr.
>> Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law.
>>
>> [22]           Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD. He
>> stated in his affidavit dated June 26, 2017 that there is a “true copy
>> of an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this CD.
>> He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the CD
>> entitled 139 to many American and Canadian law enforcement authorities
>> and not one of the police forces or officers of the court are willing
>> to investigate it”. Since he has indicated that this is an “American
>> police surveillance wiretap”, this is a matter for the American law
>> enforcement authorities and cannot create, as Mr. Amos suggests, a
>> conflict of interest for any judge to whom he provides a copy.
>>
>> [23]           As a result, there is no conflict or reasonable
>> apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason for him
>> to recuse himself.
>>
>> [24]           Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past professional
>> experience with the government created a “quasi-conflict” in deciding
>> the cross-appeal. Mr. Amos provided no details and Justice Near
>> confirmed that he had no prior knowledge of the matters alleged in the
>> Claim. Justice Near sees no reason to recuse himself.
>>
>> [25]           Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for Mr.
>> Amos’ allegations against Justice Gleason, it appears that he alleges
>> that she is incapable of hearing this appeal because he says he wrote
>> a letter to Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien in 2004. At that time,
>> both Justice Gleason and Mr. Mulroney were partners in the law firm
>> Ogilvy Renault, LLP. The letter in question, which is rude and angry,
>> begins with “Hey you two Evil Old Smiling Bastards” and “Re: me suing
>> you and your little dogs too”. There is no indication that the letter
>> was ever responded to or that a law suit was ever commenced by Mr.
>> Amos against Mr. Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no reason
>> for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question does
>> not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias.
>>
>>
>> III.               Issue
>>
>> [26]           The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the
>> Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the Claim
>> in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr.
>> Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick
>> legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action?
>>
>> IV.              Analysis
>>
>> A.                 Standard of Review
>>
>> [27]           Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the
>> Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review to
>> be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and decisions
>> made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira
>> Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215,
>> 402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel of
>> this Court replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that
>> articulated in Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235
>> [Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal
>> Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by a
>> prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of the
>> case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal if
>> the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding
>> error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and
>> law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only interfere with
>> a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary order
>> if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding error in
>> determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law
>> (Hospira at paras. 82-83).
>>
>> [28]           In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own
>> assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary. This Court
>> must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the Judge
>> erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing to
>> interfere.
>>
>>
>> B.                 Did the Judge err in interfering with the
>> Prothonotary’s Order?
>>
>> [29]           The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following
>> paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking the
>> Claim in its entirety without leave to amend:
>>
>> 17.       Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the Plaintiff
>> addresses his complaint in paragraphs 14-24, inclusive. All but four
>> of those paragraphs are dedicated to an incident that occurred in 2006
>> in and around the legislature in New Brunswick. The jurisdiction of
>> the Federal Court does not extend to Her Majesty the Queen in right of
>> the Provinces. In any event, the Plaintiff hasn’t named the Province
>> or provincial actors as parties to this action. The incident alleged
>> does not give rise to a justiciable cause of action in this Court.
>> (…)
>>
>>
>> 21.       The few paragraphs that directly address the Defendant
>> provide no details as to the individuals involved or the location of
>> the alleged incidents or other details sufficient to allow the
>> Defendant to respond. As a result, it is difficult or impossible to
>> determine the causes of action the Plaintiff is attempting to advance.
>> A generous reading of the Statement of Claim allows the Defendant to
>> only speculate as to the true and/or intended cause of action. At
>> best, the Plaintiff’s action may possibly be summarized as: he
>> suspects he is barred from the House of Commons.
>> [footnotes omitted].
>>
>>
>> [30]           The Judge determined that he could not strike the Claim
>> on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The Judge noted
>> that the Federal Court has jurisdiction over claims based on the
>> liability of Federal Crown servants like the RCMP and that the actors
>> who barred Mr. Amos from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004
>> included the RCMP (Federal Court Judgment at para. 23). In considering
>> the viability of these allegations de novo, the Judge identified
>> paragraph 14 of the Claim as containing “some precision” as it
>> identifies the date of the event and a RCMP officer acting as
>> Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor (Federal Court Judgment at
>> para. 27).
>>
>>
>> [31]           The Judge noted that the 2004 event could support a
>> cause of action in the tort of misfeasance in public office and
>> identified the elements of the tort as excerpted from Meigs v. Canada,
>> 2013 FC 389, 431 F.T.R. 111:
>>
>>
>> [13]      As in both the cases of Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse, 2003 SCC
>> 69 [Odhavji] and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must
>> determine whether the plaintiffs’ statement of claim pleads each
>> element of the alleged tort of misfeasance in public office:
>>
>> a) The public officer must have engaged in deliberate and unlawful
>> conduct in his or her capacity as public officer;
>>
>> b) The public officer must have been aware both that his or her
>> conduct was unlawful and that it was likely to harm the plaintiff; and
>>
>> c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the public
>> officer and knowledge of harm alone is insufficient to conclude that a
>> public officer acted in bad faith or dishonestly.
>> Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28
>> (Federal Court Judgment at para. 28).
>>
>> [32]           The Judge determined that Mr. Amos disclosed sufficient
>> material facts to meet the elements of the tort of misfeasance in
>> public office because the actors, who barred him from the New
>> Brunswick legislature in 2004, including the RCMP, did so for
>> “political reasons” (Federal Court Judgment at para. 29).
>>
>> [33]           This Court’s discussion of the sufficiency of pleadings
>> in Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2010 FCA 184, 321
>> D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt:
>>

>> [35]           The Prothonotary determined that Mr. Amos’ Claim

>> engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew that his or her
>> conduct was unlawful and likely to harm Mr. Amos, and acted in bad
>> faith. While the Claim alleges elsewhere that Mr. Amos was barred from
>> the New Brunswick legislature for political and/or malicious reasons,
>> these allegations are not particularized and are directed against
>> non-federal actors, such as the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Legislative
>> Assembly of New Brunswick and the Fredericton Police Force. As such,
>> the Judge erred in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP
>> barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of
>> supporting a cause of action.
>>
>> [36]           In our view, the Claim is made up entirely of bare
>> allegations, devoid of any detail, such that it discloses no
>> reasonable cause of action within the jurisdiction of the Federal
>> Courts. Therefore, the Judge erred in interfering to set aside the
>> Prothonotary’s Order striking the claim in its entirety. Further, we
>> find that the Prothonotary made no error in denying leave to amend.
>> The deficiencies in Mr. Amos’ pleadings are so extensive such that
>> amendment could not cure them (see Collins at para. 26).
>>
>> V.                 Conclusion
>> [37]           For the foregoing reasons, we would allow the Crown’s
>> cross-appeal, with costs, setting aside the Federal Court Judgment,
>> dated January 25, 2016 and restoring the Prothonotary’s Order, dated
>> November 12, 2015, which struck Mr. Amos’ Claim in its entirety

>> Progressive Conservative MLA calls it quits at provincial level
>> Brian Macdonald won't run again for legislature seat, but might try
>> federal politics
>> CBC News · Posted: May 28, 2018 6:07 PM AT | Last Updated: May 28
>> Brian Macdonald, a Progressive Conservative MLA, has announced he
>> won't run in the Sept. 24 provincial election. (CBC)
>>
>> New Brunswick's Progressive Conservative party is losing one of its
>> highest-profile MLAs just months before the next provincial election.
>>
>> Brian Macdonald says he won't be a candidate this fall and may instead
>> jump into federal politics.
>>
>> Calling the last year "my best year in politics," the two-term MLA
>> said his decision has nothing to do with PC Leader Blaine Higgs, who
>> beat Macdonald for the party leadership in 2016.
>>
>> "It's been a really good year," Macdonald said. "I've had a strong
>> voice in the legislature on issues that are really important to my
>> heart.
>>
>> "I also think it can be a challenge being in provincial politics. It's
>> very small, it's very close, it's very tight, and on a personal basis,
>> I want to move on."
>>
>> Macdonald says he’s considering running for the federal Conservative
>> nomination in New Brunswick Southwest, which includes part of the
>> riding of Fredericton West-Hanwell, where he has been the MLA. (CBC)
>>
>> Macdonald said he's considering running for the federal Conservative
>> nomination in New Brunswick Southwest, a constituency that includes
>> part of Macdonald's provincial riding of Fredericton West-Hanwell.
>>
>>     Health critic slams 'gutting' of top doctor's office
>>
>>     Blaine Higgs faces internal PC dissent over appointment
>>
>> That decision would pit him against former Conservative MP John
>> Williamson, who announced May 21 he'll also seek the nomination in the
>> riding he represented from 2011 to 2015. Party members in the riding
>> will nominate their candidate June 28.
>>
>> Macdonald said he'll also consider running federally in Fredericton.
>> The former soldier said he's also looking at job opportunities with
>> national organizations that advocate for veterans.
>>
>> "I'm looking for opportunities and considering a lot of options," he
>> said.
>>
>>     Blaine Higgs wins N.B. PC leadership race on 3rd ballot
>>
>>     Tory leadership hopefuls scramble to be 'second choice' of rivals'
>> supporters
>>
>> Macdonald is the fifth candidate from the 2016 provincial PC
>> leadership race to opt against running in this year's election under
>> Higgs.
>>
>> Macdonald said he is confident he would have won his riding again and
>> the Tories will win the election Sept. 24, meaning he'd have a shot of
>> becoming a minister.
>>
>> But he said being a provincial politician "does wear on you and it
>> does make you think about what the other options are. … If I go
>> another four years in provincial politics, it concerns me that my
>> options would be limited after that."
>>
>> The 47-year-old also said the recent death of some friends made him
>> realize he should pursue other opportunities when he can.
>>
>> Macdonald's interest in federal politics has been well-known for
>> years. He was a political assistant to former federal Defence Minister
>> Peter MacKay and sought the federal Conservative nomination for
>> Fredericton for the 2008 election.
>>
>> After failing to win that nomination, he ran provincially in
>> Fredericton-Silverwood in 2010 and was elected. He was re-elected in
>> the newly created riding of Fredericton West-Hanwell in 2014, when he
>> defeated then-NDP leader Dominic Cardy.
>>
>> Macdonald ran for the leadership of the New Brunswick Progressive
>> Conservative Party but lost to Blaine Higgs. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)
>>
>> In 2016, Macdonald ran for the PC leadership, placing sixth on the
>> first ballot out of seven candidates.
>>
>> Macdonald said he doesn't think his departure will hurt the provincial
>> party's chances of holding on to Fredericton West-Hanwell.
>>
>> "It's going to be very attractive to a number of high-calibre
>> candidates who are now beginning to come forward," he said.

Julia RockI don’t think you can own a road it is likely Unassumed.
The Honkeningthat's normal in the Maritimes. private road on priv land, but if built gov wide the province will plow it
Julia RockYou likely look after it yourself.
Nic ColeIf you own it you have to do snow removal and repairs
Becca ANobody else finds it messed up the property that was torched and purchased by gov is where the new road is being built
CSE I.T. Departmentmy uncle had to liquidate my grandparents estate to pay off their debts before the LTC would accept them
Becca AIs the new road staying a private road or gov road ?
Julia Rock[message retracted]
Oh DearTo save family members from paying estate taxes some people will transfer all property into their children's names especially if they are going to a nursing home
Becca ARoads have to have 3 or more houses to be gov road
Mirage MysteriesI walked through the woods but didn’t see any signs saying keep out
Macdonald DonSeamus...GW did have some business holdings with colleague Tom Pattenton, remember ?
Judy BrownI will find out the name of people who sold 150 acres (I think) on PBR after the mass murder
SadMafioso@Mirage Mysteries I have a ton of photos of "No Trespassing" signs all over 136 OBD. That whole community had GTFO signs. No joke.
Mirage MysteriesThe gov signs they put up around Portapique right after the massacre I found extremely weird..
Mirage MysteriesI was saying about the new road through the woods. Did you also see them there? @sad
Mizz FoxxPut your glasses on gramps, you keep misreading people's comments lol
Becca ATransferred to Lisa maccully , wonder if there’s more to it than just a private sale
What TheHeckNSIt works like a condo board
NovaScotiaFreckles I was reading some texts between the rcmp and Maureen and did they actually give that money in the yard back to Lisa?
Becca AEveryone usually pays an annual fee who lives on the road for maintenance and upkeep
CSE I.T. Department@Sadmafioso I'm surprised they didn't slap no drone signs everywhere to keep Indoblue out 🤣🤣🤣
Becca ABut why is the road going directly through the property where he supposedly burnt all the bodies
Julia RockOver an hour now.
What TheHeckNSThe private road works as a condo board for residents living on the road
What TheHeckNSyou pay fees for snow removal, maintenance etc
Becca AAnd didn’t they start building the road while the government still owned the property ?
SadMafioso@CSE I.T. Department To my limited memory, there were no drone flying measures early own when it was all still on lockdown.
RobertThe only way this makes sense is if he was a police informant. And if he’s not Lisa needs to be cuffed immediately as she’s trying to leave. No excuse as to why she couldn’t of had him jailed long ago
Oh DearThe house is empty in the real estate photos I have from 2015
Mirage MysteriesThere was remnants of charred wood on that road too! Like a circle for a court then a burnt wood pile in the middle. Gave me a weird feeling..
Julia RockLying about where the cop car was driven and who drove.
SadMafiosoF-150. HUGE PROBLEM.
nikki lewisim not buying all that she has stated so far
Julia RockGabes cellphone?
What TheHeckNSPROBLEM: SHE physically SHOT the guns
CSE I.T. Department@Little Grey Cells it was with their lawyer and insurance lawyer's permission they were both suffering dementia and deemed incompetent unfortunately
Invasionone“When were these pictures taken” “It would say on my phone” and then no one clearly states when they were taken
Nancy Macgillivarylack of emotion when speaking victims names.
Julia RockGetting through a silent patrolman?
NOVA SCOTIA GROWN61Not until they seize
What TheHeckNSPROBLEM: She discouraged him from obtaining a Firearms Licence - this could have been her way out
What TheHeckNSCBSA would have caught him and he’d be behind bars if lucky
Oh DearLisa's
Julia RockGuys? What guys?
The Honkeningcouldnt locate the exact ebay purchase for silent patrolman, but that company has 4 models so should be easy to get specs and compare
Mizz FoxxMaureen will just say that Lisa needs to go. In the news, Maureen said they retraumatized her by surprising her with a tv crew for the recap, she thought it was just gonna be Vardy apparently 🤨
InvasiononeHe’s using the badge and card to get discounts and out of tickets, he has guns and no PAL, he holds a gun to her head, he “collects” cop paraphernalia, assaults her in public, but “he wasn’t a danger”
Julia RockWhere was the cop car driven? How often?
Julia RockKnew of illegal guns.
nikki lewisaided smuggling of guns
Julia RockDidn’t know the back roads but is very knowledgeable about the area.
Becca AMcc needs the security footage from the rcmp , why aren’t the mcc requesting it
Julia RockShe lied to police.
Mirage MysteriesWhat was the cult you mentioned GW was in an in an email? Are you also in said cult?
Julia Rock1 hr 9 mins.
The Honkeningall PC's have four cameras. when do we get that for 10pm to 12pm next day...
Little Grey CellsPardon? Am I in a cult?
Little Grey CellsUmmmm, no
Nancy Macgillivarysee if he swears her in now
Oh DearParty at Sutherland lake, leaving driving 30 minutes to Portapique and then going back to Sutherland lake.
Becca AMirage that’s wishful thinking , they didn’t even bo thy er to ask her about the hidden room with toilet
Nic ColeNo they mean Lisa talking about the cult
Little Grey CellsoOOOOO lolz, Lisa B LMFAO
StrawberrymochigunMirage are you in a cult?
Macdonald DonLB would have told her sister(s) of GW's gun threats, so they would have been making nightly wellness calls to her....when she wasn't responding that night, THEY would have called the RCMP
Darcy Dobsonis this thing on
Oh DearNot going to swear her in again????
CSE I.T. Department@Little Grey Cells tell your her shoulda bought a RCMP Ford Taurus they are magical cars 🤣🤣🤣🤣 who needs oil the pushbar will cool the engine
Strawberrymochigunlmao
Truth InAll4
Julia RockNo regard for law!
Truth InAll4
Strawberrymochiguncults
Julia RockNo regard for justice.
Chris LeeAt the very least remind her still under oath wtf
UncleBlazerNo Peter Griffon?
Mirage MysteriesYou mentioned Gabriel was in a cult. What one Would that be? What other members do you know of that were in that cult?
The Honkeningpeter griffon did the decals on the bumper...he worked at a sign shop.
nikki lewiswhat do you know versus what he told you ?
Chris LeeThis is a f'in joke
UncleBlazerPeter Griffon never spent time on the car with Gabe?
Julia RockThat left shoulder is some itchy.
Little Grey CellsHow well do you know her? When was the last time you spoke?

SadMafiosoMCC is serving up some serious Kool-Aid for us to drink. DON'T DRINK THIS TAINED PUNCH.
The Honkeningwhen do they ask about the day trip destination
MHRubbing her shoulder because her tan is flaking
JJso it's okay to bring up past abuse and details but not the night of April 18th

RobertWhy isn’t Leon being brought to testify, since he seen her with no visible injury’s, also where are the pictures of scratches or mud on her pants if she’s running and crawling through woods?
Snippy PinkyThat is why GAB SAT SEW LONG... LISA IS GETTING CLEANED UP LIKE THE GOLD DIGGER SHE IS INBETWEEN ALL THESE CASUALTIES.... I BET YA!!!!
InvasiononeIf the argument with Angel happened, which I’m not sure it did, Lisa probably got mad because someone would dare think that SHE was the problematic one in the relationship, and not Gabe
Snippy PinkyI can HEAR HER NOW... "GAB YA CANT DROP ME OFF LOOKING LIKE THIS NOW... JUST STOP AT THE WAREHOUSE PLEASE.... AND THEN AS SOON AS SHES GOOD... AND GAB THINKS ALL CLEAR... LETS GO!
Snippy PinkyIts 2022 we should be able to KNOT KNOW.... LIKE ITS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET AWAY WITH CRIME THESE DAYS... WE ARE INTELLECTUAL NOW SEW... SIGNS OF CLEAR COVER UP EVEN COPS KNOW IT

CSE I.T. DepartmentI'm 6'2 210lbs and I know for a fact I can only pass my handcuffed wrists through the window. Cuz that's exactly what the window is designed for, and so cops can shoot, pepper spray or taser

Becca AHow come they don’t ask Maureen hope about the kit list and her detective steps sons dealings with wortmans she mentions ?
Snippy PinkyTHEY LOVED MY BED BEFORE!!! LOL
 
David AmosYo D2C BINGO
 
D 2Cbeen saying it from the start
SadMafioso@David Amos How much research do you got in this, other than emailing white shirts and the PMO?
Snippy Pinkyhahaha that comment... Hahaha they only attack eh when they see something they want and cant have! LOL
SadMafiosoYour internet track record is showing..

Snippy PinkyIt chief even at least gave a female name lol 
 
 
 
 
 
David AmosCHECK MY BLOG OBVIOUSLY I AM TALKING ABOUT YOU DUDES TODAY EH?
Snippy PinkyTakes a while to TRULY FILL THOSE BIG GREEDY BELLIES
 
Snippy PinkyI think she was in the passenger seat the entire time til the warehouse then dropped off at LEONS before Gab then continued on....
 
Snippy PinkyYes what happened LISA THAT SET HIM OFF... YOU KNOW... AND WE KNOW YOU KNOW!!!!
 
Snippy PinkyI dont get it... She says its broken and sent to the cloud but doesn't she use it for 3 calls after?
JJwtf is going on..it make no sence these lawyers aren't pushing more
Peter Byker@D 2C the contradictions are inevitable as the narrative is deeply tested.
SadMafiosoAgreed, if the lawyers are actually opposed, then they need to FIGHT.
NovaScotiaFreckles Why isn’t anyone questioning that she’s getting calls after it’s apparently broken and burnt but us?
Green Bastardthe lawyers need to stand up and get their disapproval on record. anything less is unacceptable.
InvasiononeMCC ruled yesterday that participant lawyers need to stop expecting this to function like a courtroom. Sounds like lawyers can’t get them to budge at all.
 
Snippy Pinkyexactly @Invasionone
 
Snippy PinkyHer phone would have likely had access to the security cameras too...
 
Snippy PinkyWOW
Snippy PinkyIMPOSSIBLE
InvasiononeWhy can the DOJ lawyers walk up and object to questioning like they did with Chief MacNeil but family lawyers can’t?
Snippy PinkySisters... WERE THEY LIVING IN FEAR FOR THEIR SISTERS SAFETY FROM GABRIEL?
JJthis is one-sided..the wrong side
CSE I.T. Department@Little Grey Cells comment makes total sense when Gab wanted the love of his life to run and save herself. Not very toxic masculinity abusive of Gab now is it
 
SadMafioso@little grey cells Agreed. They lawyers CAN make a stand
 
Snippy Pinkyexactly @CSE I.T. Department HE SOUNDS LIKE HE PROTECTED HER THAT EVENING KEEPING HER ALIVE!!!
SadMafiosoThey do not have good representation if they refuse to send up when asked to do so.
Snippy PinkyNOT A GOOD ABUSE NARRATIVE!
 
Snippy PinkyAnyone know what this tree looks like that lisa apparently became one with to survive the evenings events
InvasiononeNo elaboration on both the silent patrolman escape or being one with the tree. Even the MCC knows when something is too absurd to be believed.
Snippy Pinkyyup
 
Snippy PinkyLong breaks we pay for.. Man we some good to our civil servants us Canadians
 
Snippy PinkyShes looked annoyed this entire time like she feels she is being victimized by just being asked questions.
 
Snippy PinkyExactly.. Shes also now called the BENZ dealership liars as well all while its her bed of lies we must lay with... AND I DONT STAND FOR IT.. WHY IS THIS COMMISSION!

CSE I.T. Departmentdid the lawyers stage the walkout to avoid showing their clients their true loyalty
🤔

 
Richard LaneBanfield only got restorative justice because the crown feels there's no 'public interest' in criminal charges for supplying bullets. wtf
Snippy PinkyThat is all LISA CARES ABOUT... HER PERSONAL LIFESTYLE!!! THAT IS IT!!!!
Snippy Pinkythank you @Char Dayz everyone of us here keeps SOME PRESSURE to TELL THE TRUTH EVENTUALLY!!!
 
Snippy Pinkyhybrid... LISA EASILY IS A HYBRID... Sets aside her victimhood for possessions therefore an accomplice in his crimes... IF ABUSE WAS THERE!!!!
 
Snippy PinkyCant say I BLAME THEM BUT MAYBE IF THEY RESPONDED BETTER WE WOULD BE HEALTHIER ON WHOLE!!!! THIS NO RESPONSE BUT PAPER LOGGING JUST AINT WORKING EH....

Global National: July 15, 2022 | Wife of Nova Scotia mass shooter confesses to hiding information

On tonight's episode of Global National: The spouse of the gunman in the Nova Scotia mass shooting in 2020 spoke publicly for the first time in front of the Mass Casualty Commission. In an emotional, multi-hour testimony, Lisa Banfield confessed to hiding information from the police but stressed she did so because she was scared for her safety. Callum Smith has the latest. 
 
 Police in British Columbia are asking the public to help identify the shooters in the murder of Ripudiman Singh Malik. The 75-year-old was gunned down Thursday in a busy commercial complex in Surrey, B.C. As Aaron McArthur reports, the RCMP are confident this shooting was targeted but questions swirling about why Malik was gunned down. 
 
Plus, almost a year after Afghanistan fell to the Taliban, the Canadian special immigration program for Afghans is nearing capacity, but many who were instrumental in helping Canadian troops while in the country remain in hiding looking for a way out. Advocates and families with relatives still in the country are once again calling on Ottawa to do more. Abigail Bimman has the story. 
 
On the health front, Canada is reporting a 59 per cent increase in monkeypox cases, mirroring a global trend that has seen cases rise. As Jamie Mauracher reports, with this latest rise in cases there's a growing push for all Canadians to know the signs and be vigilant. 
 
Finally, U.S. President Joe Biden arrived in Saudi Arabia on Friday amid criticism after he vowed to make it a pariah state following the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. As Jackson Proskow explains, the visit comes as Biden faces a political crisis at home over gas prices.

O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive! Walter Scott
 

Any stories on the police knowing he had a stash of illegal weapons? You know, because his next door neighbor—a military officer—told them two years prior? Or that they turned a blind eye because he was a CI in a biker gang smuggling case?
25
looks like they found a scapegoat for the pigs total failure....

The police only put work in after a crime is committed, they are never there to prevent a crime but only show up to take statements after the fact, that is something a computer can do. These clowns serve society how?
On one hand if Lisa did go to the RCMP sure they’d bust him for guns and he’d probably get out on bail and kill her. There wasn’t at the time, any way to put her in protective custody he wasn’t important to the RCMP other than being a bully of a reputation, which is amazing that there were no MEN man enough to slap him around or more, it’s like they wimped out. Lisa was caught between saving her own life and what she thought was a couple of cops and others. Little do she know the level of violence that was easily started only stopped with a slug in his brain. Between the comical bungling of where the shooter was, what vehicle he was driving and the timeline you’d swear the cops were in on it for training exercises....or funniest a scavenger hunt...it reads of a Monty Python sketch. The comfort some victims can take is in the end was he knew he was caught that he was being shot to death....

Let’s correct the New Brunswick story , RCMP failure is the truth of that situation.
24
The first stories were depressing to watch but in the end of global national went to very good news stories

What a bunch of fluff ! What about the Millions of Dutch farmers protesting for their lively hoods and rights to put food on the table ! Their are things going on they don’t want people to know and what is coming people keep your eyes open 😳
14
I’m not Dutch. Sounds like a Dutch Global Story?
Seemingly there were numerous opportunities to thwart this killers shooting spree, before it began - yet all were ignored and overlooked.
6
Remember our" trustworthy law enforcement" is here to protect us!!!
Everyone knew he had a police car , I knew of it , it’s was parked behind his dental office in Dartmouth a lot of the time . This is a bunch of fluff and lies and everyone deserves real answers
13
Did you report it?
 @SunshinEE  it sat on a busy street , at his practise I thought it was an actual police car , I drive by it often thought it was a weird spot for them to always be parked . I didn’t have to report it , the cops knew
3
 @SunshinEE  report to who the rcmp who was in on it?
2
 @SunshinEE  it was there for years lol they knew
If everyone knew why didn't everyone report it?
 @Everything batman collector  why didn’t the police do something? Why does it have to be reported when it’s parked on a busy street right in front of their eyes.
1
Someone should have asked her how she’s enjoying the payout of $475,000 he received from the RCMP prior to that event. This is all theatre

That common-law spouse is putting on an act

Along with the sisters. I don't think I have seen sadder faces. It's been two years. You would think these three woman actually lost something they loved that night. If they lost anything (especially LB) it would be the one thing that made her life pure hell (according to her). I will say it again. All my sympathy goes to the families. As for LB I just can't muster up any sympathy for this woman. Actually after seeing LB and her pathetic looking sisters all I can say is show a little respect to the families. Stop playing the victim card and give the families what they want. Answers. Bawling and crying doesn't work for them or anyone else. Two years and you"re still a mess. I guess guilt is a powerful thing. It can destroy you to the core. As for the sisters you played your part well. Be thankful you still get to hug your loved ones. Be thankful knowing what you knew about this man and knowing what he could be capable of doing your whole family survived this carnage. Amazing isn't it...Not one family member of his or LB's were murdered or harmed in this rampage. In all the years she spent with him not one member of her family was ever harmed by this man. Miraculous, coincidence who knows. What i do know is nothing this woman said has changed my opinion of her or what happened that night. Actually what I do know is after seeing the sad trio it has made me even more suspicious.

 @Darius Smith  otherwise it would be boring for all of us eh

The gentleman who hid in the woods for four hours was on the verge of hypothermia. Lisa claims to have pulled an all nighter, without shoes or thermal clothing, yet didn't need medical attention?
1
Yup! She can save those crocodile tears, ain't nobody out here feeling sorry for her.
 @Rebell i Us Soul  you do not need to feel sorry just do not accuse people of something horrible with no evidence and just based on hearsay and crazy-based conspiracies
"I never thought he'd hurt anyone" but it sounds like he threatened her many times.
12
Educate yourself about domestic violence.
1
 @BlackCoffee  I bet you believe that col. Russell Williams wife had no idea what he was up to either ?
2
 @BlackCoffee  Domestic violence victims believe that their abuser will hurt them. Claiming that she didn’t believe he would hurt anyone is inconsistent with that. Either she was being untruthful in her claims of abuse against her (not likely) OR she is lying now to minimize her failure to warn others about the threat he posed. Educate yourself about basic critical thinking.
Rise Canada . Stand for you and your children's future .

Rise? What do you mean by rise? You want us to do what exactly? You preaching for some violence?

 @Marc A  Violence is for dullards and cowards. Violence is the language of your oppressors. We're better than them . Well, some of us .
Rise up for what exactly and in what way? Canada ranks #1 globally for quality of life. It ranks up a lot higher than the USA for most democratic and most stable democracy in the world. I vote. I write letters. I do social media. I get heard. I believe in democracy. We have a democracy so what the heck are you rattling on about?

We scored the top spot in "Quality of Life" and "Social Purpose," too. It looks like our country gained some serious bragging rights this year according to the 2021 "Best Countries in the World" U.S. News report, where Canada ranked number one overall.
Interesting new development. My theory for the security,prosperity and insuring of liberty for the ''' Collective Of Global Civilization'' best at this Point In Time. Good News is that Eye Love You. Calling for an immediate ceasefire ! That stated, read the following thrice carefully and and please only discerning, wise and questioning persons respond : Back in October 2019, as a World Peace Advocate, Independent Student Scholar of History, Geopolitics, Wars & Civilizations and Independent Security Analyst and Theorist HAD concluded that we ( North America, NATO member countries and THE WEST) are on a path towards WW3 due to the US-CHINA TRADE WAR begun by the Trump Administration back in early 2018, The Arrest of the CFO of Huawei Meng Whenzou by the RCMP in Canada in order to honor an extradition treaty with the USA, other geopolitical events, & the historical event known as Pearl Harbor. Concluding as an Independent Thinker, Analyst and Philosopher that we ( Humanity ) are on a Path Towards WW3 HAD created, designed & made a New Training Program produced to go hand in hand with a WW3 scenario. Thus, October 17 2019 HAD performed the 1st session of the General War Integrated Total Body Training System aka The 300 Workout integrated & in parallel to a near future timeline witch was the WW3 scenario. 93 Days later, the COVID 19 Crisis Began ! In parallel to my WW3 scenario witch is caused by a Stock Market Crash witch consequently triggers a Global Financial Collapse the Coronavirus began. Not sure what caused Covid believe it was snakes but cannot rule out another possibility. What do know is my scenario HAD a solution the creation of a New Institution : The International Citizen Integrated Social Security Force aka The Dragon Army witch am calling for the creation. Tell the Leaders of the Free World Dragon Zero's Message : Drop Down and give Dragon 13 pushups with Love & For The Sake of World Peace. What say ye ? Will you join the Dancing Goddess & Dragon Kingdom for World Peace ? Can u support, volunteer, bless & love Adrian Hannah Dragon's World Peace Work ?
 @Adrian H. Dragan  Stop getting high from your own supply.
 @Art Vandelay  absolutely not true . Judging by your comments , you are a paid whiner.
 @Art Vandelay  you sound more legitimate when you're posting your vaccine rants . I see your channel has a severe lean towards the left . I'll wager that your pay cheque does too .

 @Art Vandelay  Not me. Mostly high on coffee, sunlight and from a hyperactive child's energy. You ? u a drug fiend ?

 @Ieosus Lives   That's hilarious coming from someone who is suggesting Canada needs to rise up.
 @Art Vandelay  Trump ? Seriously? Ha ha ha . And I'm supposed to take you seriously? Oh my .
 @Art Vandelay  Yes i know Art , when you're skimming the bottom , rising up seems like such an impossibility, but you can do it little fella.
 @Art Vandelay  what were you saying about Ad Hominem? You're the King , or Queen rather.
Who edits these segments? 😂 “was reluctant to engage with Crown Prince MBS” 18:07 😂 Remember when Joe called him and he wouldn’t take his call? Who’s reluctant against whom? 😂 FYI, neither the King or Crown Prince received Joe at the airport whereas they were both there to welcome Trump

She said she was worried for her safety because on several occasions he threatened her with a handgun but then she says that she did not believe he would hurt anyone. Her entire testimony seemed to be series of contradictions.

Educate yourself about the psychology of domestic violence.

You can be threatened by a domestic partner and simultaneously not expect them to go on a murderous rampage

Exactly, mental, psychological, physical not in any order. But what’s amazing is the two sisters sat idle by, did nothing kept it all to themselves. It’s like this guy had an entire province scared of him which I find really strange as I grew up in Cape Breton and some of the Bar fighters were and still are BIG and yet somehow this dentist didn’t cross their paths, that’s the deal with small town bullies they know who they can push around and who to stay clear of, seen it all too often but eventually they get what’s coming. My 2 cents worth.
What is the point of an inquiry if you can’t inquire as to the truth of the evidence in the inquiry?
1
I wonder if the RCMP had any involvement with the murders? The guy had an RCMP vehicle. He had RCMP clothing. He was giving $450,000 from a Brinks truck. No one stopped this guy from killing all those people in 13 hours. What exactly were the RCMP doing in that time?

1
Running in circles - about 3 hours behind him. They missed several opportunities to stop him!!
3
Shooting at each other, at the local fire department, not warning the public. You know, competent responsible law enforcement stuff…
4
 @Jamie Hume  why no? Why shouldn’t we try to cover all bases and be curious. That’s what keeps things interesting. And sometimes the craziest things turn out to be true. Also, freedom of speech soooo YES, JUST YES

Looks like he was associated with RCMP, agent perhaps.

Helping Trudie lay the foundation for his gun bill.

 @Ken Kanada  And that is the problem as per your opening comment.
So nothing related to Canada's current nightmare eh, if only the journalists could get a confession or even a simple yes or no out of the liberals. I'll litterally give you my entire weeks salary if you succeed.

This lady could have stopped the NS mass shooting she is just as guilty as him for not speaking up she needs to be charged.

just sickening how we see those families trying to blame this lady....she is a victim just survived victim
6
She's just as guilty for not speaking up

 @curtis herbert  easy for you to say when you were not there and just hide behind the internet...
1
 @Carlos R  she helped him commit the crimes stop making excuses for her.
2
 @Carlos R  all she had to do was go to police and get into protective custody.
2
 @curtis herbert  Just like that? A woman was killed by her ex and she applied for a protection order but didn’t get it. Go back to your Xbox. Your attitude is what’s wrong in this world.
1
 @Back Again  lol i don't play Xbox unlike yourself I believe everyone is responsible for their actions and this lady is lying she helped him get ammo and stayed with him for many years she's just as guilty as him.
 @curtis herbert  oh how did she help? I am sure everybody else on earth would like to know how did you arrive at that
 @Carlos R  clearly you haven't watched the video or you know that she didn't come forward to police knowing he had weapons and would use them on others and she bought ammo for him. I don't believe her for sec that she had no idea what he would do. And you and others making excuses for her only makes her look more guilty as people like yourself are pushing an agenda that law abiding citizens should not have firearms for self protection or for fun of it.
 @curtis herbert  you would need to prove that she knew the ammo was going to use for killing people, not the other way around Einstein...it does not matter what you 'not believe for a second' ...it is about what you can prove or not.....explain to me how on this earth she could proof that the ammon she got would not be used to kill people...it is impossible right...and that is what you asking her to do....but it is YOU who need to prove she knew not the other way around
 @Carlos R  no I don't have to prove anything giving somone ammo is illegal lol
1
 @Carlos R  also not reporting somome who has illegal firearms is also illegal.
 @Carlos R  its called aiding and a abetting.
 @curtis herbert  Oh you gotta report half of rural Nova Scotia my friend...and also it does not mean she is responsible for the killing in any shape or form
 @Carlos R  she responsible because she didn't report him and helped him. Just because others commit crimes doesn't mean you can its still illegal and you would be charged.
It’s sickening that we live in a society where you can’t ask any reasonable questions without being called an apologist for DV, but the people who could have reported it and kept it from happening to anyone else are not.
 @Carlos R  half of rural N.S has illegal firearms?
 @Blank Space Provided  the police knew he had a cruiser and firearms and didn’t do anything. What do you say to that?
 @curtis herbert  i think you need to consider her deress it seems she acted in psychological/physical defense as she reportedly dealt with on goong abuses. Police knew about him on many fronts and they did nothing prior, they are the ones who need accountability.
 @Keri C  I also don't believe her she was with him for many years I'm sure their was many times she could have left him she traveled to usa and got him ammo and if the first cops didn't help her you go to another.
 @curtis herbert  u can't just walk in to a court and get protective custody tho
 @Carlos R  welllllll, as its canada and this guy didn't own these firearms legally her buying ammunition for him is illegal us legal firearm owners CANNOT go buy ammo for people without a license.
1
 @curtis herbert  100, this guy clearly isnt a pal holder
 @Everything batman collector  you can walk into a police station and say you fear for your life then explain the person has illegal firearms and has said they will kill you. You can also leave said person when he,she goes to work. She was with him for many Yeats there's no excuse it's not like she was chained to the wall and could not leave
 @curtis herbert  ur describing restraining order, protective custody is something way different
 @Everything batman collector  I'm not perfect I may have said the wroug thing. However she could have left him bit choose to stay with him for what ever reason and helped him.
 @curtis herbert  i agree with this aspect it was disgusting.
 @Everything batman collector  I also got confused what you wrote
 @curtis herbert  i dont think you understand the impacts.of continual abuse on a person
 @Keri C  she had many opportunities to leave, she spent over 10 years with him
Wow so many are being fooled by this woman!!! And her family!!!
1
 @Carlos R  What did she do? She hid in the woods knowing he was shooting people because he was looking for her. That's what I call a gutless human being. Did it never cross her mind that she could have traded her life for theirs. Twenty-two including a pregnant woman died at the hands of this man. She could have stopped the killings at anytime. She valued her life more then the innocent people he killed because of her. She chose to stay with this man. Her family knew he allegedly beat her and was abusive to her physically and mentally. But they chose to let their sister live in that abusive home. LB said he would kill her family if she ever left. Well I guess they are all selfish because they all stood back and protected themselves for years. Until the lunatic snapped. Then it was too late. But what the hell they get to hug their loved ones everyday. But the innocent people are the ones that paid the price for their selfish choices. Then they go to the MCC and act like they are victims. All three of them. It's great that she was able to muster up the strength physically and mentally to get her face and hair done for the cameras. I bet the victims families still have a hard time crawling out of bed and trying to handle one day at a time. It's one thing for a woman to put up with the abuse. But when she knows the abuser is capable, has threatened others it is her responsibility to take action. So many others in his family and her family knew what this man was capable of. So many stood by and watched this man be violent to others. They should all feel guilt. I really don't care to hear about LB's sad life. I don't feel sorry for her or anyone in his family or her family. They are all disgusting and deserve to feel guilt for the rest of their life.

 @lima mackenzie  from the privileging point of looking back, we can always play jesus to judge others.....it is very easy to say 'she should have this or that'...but when you see someone with a gun looking for, only survival instincts come in....i think none of us here in this comment section know what is like
1
 @curtis herbert  again you.dont understand...think stalkhome syndrome....im not someone who falls for a victim mantality and i understand you dont know me at all, but there is way more to her psychological abuses that impact in ways your not aware and create these scenarios where woman are in abusive relationships sometimes to the point of their murder or death....there is a power dynamic beyond even the physical and or sexual where there imprisoned in plain sight. She may be in need of hospitalization and care for the rest of her life. The police are way more culpable in this. As far as her not reporting or buying amo fine charge her with that and take away her PAL. my understanding is Police were there many times and did nothing to protect her, she did not trust the cops so what was she to do? Even if she had not hidden in the woods the guy was clearly on a mission and unhinged perhaps spurred on by police and definately used by government. There is error upon error in this entire scenario and I do believe much foul play is at hand beyond the murderer im just not sure she was in on it but rather another victim.

Not surprising. There are plenty of examples of of people coming up with excuses for their partners' deranged behaviour, whether it is murder or abuse of minors. The lengths people will go to be selfish to keep a partner. But even that doesn't make sense because for certain individuals based on a certain determination, as was the case here for her, her, there are unlimited fish in the sea, so why do they deliberately ignore all the other fish in the sea and willingly and deliberately choose to pick a deranged individual as their partner and then justify that partner treating themselves and other members of society badly?

Because he knew everything about her, she lived with him, and was likely dependant on him too like all victims of abuse. Why are we not figuring out why the police did nothing when they knew he had a fake cruiser and many illegal guns? They’re scapegoating her and you’re faking for it hook line and sinker.
She is getting away with her part

Dude really got his nose in there to catch those ol pox 😆

13:27 Fixed it for you, Global News: "Confirmed cases of Monkeypox have largely been detected in GAY men."
Failures on so many levels.

"neetu garcha" pronunciation in every video is amazing. Good for viewers. At least Global allows comments as opposed to CBC cowards.
Do you see this comment, CBC??? When you don't allow comments, it proves you are out of touch with the people.
True but FYI Not all comments remain in public view
I smell book deal. I’m disgusted.

She should be sent to prison for having this knowledge and not going to the police.
They for sure fled the country
