Twenty E Mails Last Night From David Amos

I and hundreds of others it seems received about twenty mass e-mailings
from convicted and registered pedophile David Raymond Amos of Halifax last
night. These e-mails are totally unsolicited, completely unwanted, poorly
written, go on for ever and ever, and are… spam. Damn, that’s a lot of
spam! There is nothing David Raymond Amos has to say or could say to anyone
the planet… that anyone would want to hear. David Raymond Amos is the
product of incestuous sexual congress betwixt his mother and her brother a
German Shepherd Dog.
Hey David! If you, little Glenford Canning, the boys at Frank Magazine, and
anonymous don’t like this humble blog…don’t read it!

Leah Parsons Says!

<https://baconfatreport. wordpress.com/author/ baconfatreport/> on May 24,
2015
Killer “parent” and entrepreneur Leah Parsons says ! “My daughter will be
remembered for what she stood for!” That’s a big negatory Leah baby! Retaeh
Parsons will be known for having a really stupid name, (Heather in
dyslexic) and for being a thirteen year-old slut that would do anything or
fuck anyone to “sit at the cool-kids table at school.” Rehtaeh Parsons will
be remembered for killing herself because she had to rid herself of two
disinterested, abusive, and now self-promoting “parents.”
The world, Canada and Maritime kanada is a better place with the
self-inflicted demise of little Rehtaeh Parsons. There’s one less hooker on
the streets of Halifax, there’s one less uneducated bimbo with four kids on
the welfare rolls. One less scum from maritime kanada with her hand in our
pockets.

Glenford Canning’s “Rape Culture!”
by baconfatreport
<https://baconfatreport. wordpress.com/author/ baconfatreport/> on May 24,
2015
Rehateh Parsons was her daddy’s “very special angel!” Long before what Leah
Parsons called”that fateful party,” Glenford Canning would in the dark of
night do what the early Old Testiment Prophets referred to as “wash her
feet,” and or “lie with,” his daughter Rehtaeh Parsons. By the time Rehateh
Parsons was a prepubescent thirteen years old she was already emotionally
and intellectually damaged if not destroyed by Glenford Canning. Rehtaeh
Parsons at thirteen was “acting out,” lying to her entirely disinterested
“parents,” attending regularly sex parties and abusing both alcohol and
recreational drugs. “That fateful party” was NOT little Rehteah’s “first
rodeo” but only the culmination of a very large number drunken incidences
of sexual congress with a multiplicity of partners… all them completely
consensual.
Rehtaeh Parsons extinguished her worthless life to rid herself of her
disinterested “mother” and abusive “father. Her “life” was ended by her
“father” before it had an opportunity to begin.
If there were any justice in this world and there isn’t, Leah Parsons and
Glenford Canning would be dead.

The Canning / Parsons Crime Syndicate!
by baconfatreport
<https://baconfatreport. wordpress.com/author/ baconfatreport/> on January
18, 2015
The sordid, tragic, criminally negligent, and culpable story of little
Rehtaeh Parsons is finally over! The contrived self-serving false
allegations, lies and cries of rape were just that; contrived,
self-serving false allegations, lies and cries of rape. A couple of day’s
ago the last principle or former teenage-boy was adjudicated, judged and
sentenced in a Halifax “kangaroo court,” for doing what all teenagers did
all those years ago, sending risqué pictures of each other on their cell
phones. Two teenage boys, and what began as a couple of teenage-girls were
tossing back “vodka shots.” Notwithstanding the begging and protestations
of the girl, Rehtaeh who had gone to the party with, for Rehtaeh not to
fuck her boyfriend, Rehateh climbed the stairs to the bedroom with two
young boys, including her friend’s paramour to fuck their brains out.
Last evening I posted two news pieces from the National Post, and Frank
Magazine on this Blog, about this sordid hoax, and elaborate confidence
scheme. Longstanding, and well-known cyber-troll and criminal stalker of
women David Amos of Halifax sent literally thousands of unsolicited, and
spam e mails to thousands of “victims” last evening, complaining about this
Blog and its posts from the National Post, and Frank Magazine were
“cyber-stalking Glenford Canning!” That I was perpetrating salacious, and
slanderous libel upon, and “cyber-stalking” poor Glenford Canning by
posting two pieces from the national media.
Canada, and Canadians have finally learned the truth about Rehtaeh Parsons,
her fictious rape, the true circumstances regarding her suicide, the
character of her “killer parents” Glen Canning and Leah Parsons, but more
importantly the entire elaborate hoax and con job this entire sordid tale
became.
Back to what Leah Parsons called “that fateful party,” Rehtaeh Parsons goes
up the stairs to the bedroom with two boys, one of them her best friend’s
boyfriend. Rehtaeh is described to be naked from the waist down, leaning
over a window, and they have been screwing for a while. Suddenly Rehtaeh
says she’s going to be sick, and one of the two boys places her in range of
the window so she wouldn’t spew on the floor. Rehteah then goes to the
bathroom, and whilst she was there, the two teenage-boys shared a smoke by
the window. When Rehtaeh returns, she tells the boys she wants to continue
with the “sexual athletics,” and so this entirely consensual sex continues.
Teenagers “tweet,” Face Book, share, everything, no one’s High School years
aren’t without significant emotional trauma. Little Rehtaeh was more than
OK, with that evening’s sexual athletics for over a week…until the pictures
appeared on or in cyber-space.
Police witness statements relate Rehtaeh telling “friends” she didn’t want
to be perceived as a “slut,” when she first saw the photos in cyber-space,
and at that point Rehtaeh, Leah, and Glenford decided one of Rehtaeh’s
numerous consensual sexual adventures was now a ” vicious gang rape ” by
four boys. As Halifax Police and the RCMP conducted two over year-long
investigations, there wasn’t a scintilla of evidence of rape, by four boys,
two boys or any boys. During two police investigations the ” Canning /
Parsons Crime Syndicate” engaged hacker collective anonymous to “out” boys
that weren’t involved, and one boy that wasn’t even at there. Glen Canning
had anonymous even hack the computer accounts of the Father of one the
boys investigated. Leah Parsons led lynch mobs through the streets of
Halifax tearing handbills off posts, that told Haligonians to await the
results of the police investigations. Leah Parsons whined, cried, and lied
to the media how she was frightened, and threatened that handbills were
posted saying…”innocent until proven guilty.” The Rehteah Parsons, Leah
Parsons, / Glenford Canning crime family bullied, threatened, stalked, and
harassed innocent boys, and their parents. The Parsons / Canning crime
family vilified, libeled, and propagandizing against the boys and their
family’s, the Parsons / Canning criminals knew were innocent… because there
was never a rape. Two police investigations found no evidence of a rape or
sexual assault because their wasn’t any.
Even at the time “of that fateful party,” the Parsons / Canning marriage
was problematic, it was a dysfunctional family, a broken home, the parents
were disinterested, and abusive. While the Parsons / Canning crime family
were conducting a social media circus, lynch mob, and con, seventeen
year-old Rehtaeh had stopped attending school, became addicted to drugs,
and was co-habitating with a twenty-three year-old man. On April 4 2013
Rehtaeh after a quarrel with her adult significant other, went home and
hanged herself. The ever opportunistic, and looking to make a buck Leah
Parsons and Glenford Canning immediately called every and all media outlets
to remonstrate loudly Rehtaeh’s suicide was the result of the “four boys”
that “viciously gang raped” her. The problem was….there was no rape. The
Parsons / Canning crime syndicate now had tragically lost one of its
members. But Glenford and Leah simply blamed The Crown, the Halifax police,
the Nova Scotia government, the “culture of rape in Canada,” The Halifax
School Board, the four “little bastards” that “viciously gang raped” her,
and now the little bastards who took those action photos, of Rehtaeh in
consensual action. Since Rehtaeh had “shrugged off this mortal
coil,” the Parsons / Canning crime syndicate has made a bundle. Clearly
Rehtaeh Parsons was screwed up long before ” that fateful party”. Little
Rehtaeh’s “parents ” gained far more from her death than ever when she was
alive .
They say “you can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can’t
fool all the people all the time.” The Glenford Canning / Leah Parsons
crime organization has outlived its welcome in Halifax according to Frank
Magazine. Frank Magazine suggested that “was past time for Glen Canning to
get a real job.” Glen Canning recently posted the genitalia of a college
professor, on twitter in a fit of righteous altruistic rage. When the last
boy was sentenced a couple of days ago, the judge lectured both the boy
being sentenced and Glen Canning for taking pictures of a sexual nature.
Glen Canning knew it and Halifax’s media knew it.
No one screwed up the Rehtaeh Parsons’ case or investigation. Its past time
for the Canning / Parsons crime syndicate to consider simply to shut the
fuck up…you’re liars!

A legal lynching took place Thursday at the hands of the media, Glen
Canning, and the Mount Saint Vincent University administration. They and we
should all feel a bit dirty.
Michael Kydd, a part-time instructor at Mount Saint Vincent University,
was suspended, then resigned, after he was found to have had a brief sexual
relationship with a student.
The student was 38 years old, Kydd is 40. The course was a distance
education offering, the sex consensual. The woman says they were both going
through a difficult patch—Kydd was separated from his wife and seeking a
divorce—when they found comfort in each other’s arms. A total of two
liaisons, a bit of sexting, and some shared explicit photos.
On one occasion, Kydd prorated a grade for the woman, as he had for other
students, when a medical emergency prevented her from attending an exam.
A few weeks ago, the unnamed woman somehow began meeting with Canning, the
crusading father of the late Rehtaeh Parsons, and shortly after, she
reported the affair to the school administration. Yesterday Canning tweeted
a bowdlerized photo of the man’s penis along with some disapproving text.
I’ll pause for a moment while you absorb that.
When teenaged boys texted an explicit photo of Rehtaeh, Canning
understandably demanded their hides. Throughout the process leading to the
boys’ sentencing, he was constantly on the news and in social media,
condemning their actions and the bullying it engendered.
He showed no such concern for Kydd’s children, or the families
involved, when he shared an explicit photo without consent yesterday—only
an impulse to indulge in slut-shaming of his own. When his lewd display
touched off a firestorm on Twitter, he deleted the tweet but remained
unrepentant.
The Mount suspended Kydd, and gratuitously reassured students the accused
instructor was “not currently in the classroom”—gotta keep up the fantasy
he posed some kind of menace, don’t you know. President Ramona Lumpkin
issued a statement affirming the university’s sensitivity to “protecting
and supporting the student who has made this allegation and… providing
whatever supports needed.”
Like a backbone, maybe?
The only backbone in evidence belonged to Kydd, who summoned reporters to
his lawyer’s office, where he read a statement acknowledging his actions
and announced he had resigned from his part-time teaching job.
“I did not want to compound my mistake—and this is my mistake—by failing to
come forward and take responsibility,” he said. “I expect my career to be
ruined.”
Seriously? Of all the characters in this tawdry operetta—the jilted ex-lover,
the avenging hypocrite, the prissy president—Kydd is the only one I’d
trust with work, children, or the truth. He’s the only one who owned up,
spoke plain words, shouldered responsibility.
This is but the latest example of what happens when authorities substitute
zero tolerance for considered judgment.
I’d say the Merit Contractors Association of Nova Scotia, where Kydd serves
as president, is fortunate to have a person of his character. I
suspect they won’t be stampeded into joining the lynch mob.
One last thing: Will this episode finally persuade the Halifax media to
exercise critical judgment and stop treating Canning as a hero whose every
mean-spirited utterance is regarded as received truth?

Get this dick out of here”: has Glen Canning fallen out of love with the
media?
by Blake Hunsley
[image: "Get this dick out of here": has Glen Canning fallen out of love
with the media?]

Something very strange happened at the hearing held today to sentence the
man who shared the infamously ‘intimate’ photo of Rehtaeh Parsons. When the
hearing ended and the assembled representatives of the local press held out
their cameras and microphones to receive Glen Canning’s latest
pronouncements, he walked right past them. Briskly too, without a word or a
glance. I’m surprised there wasn’t more of an audible gasp in the room.
As his appearances on virtually every network and newspaper cover across
this nation and beyond have shown again and again, Glen’s not one to shrink
from publicity. So why today, on such an important day, would he avoid the
press entirely? Well it likely has to do with an uncomfortable question he
was asked on his way in to court earlier in the day. After a slightly
awkward introduction (a hand was extended in friendship, it was not
reciprocated), Frank editor Andrew Douglas asked Glen for a comment on his
recent unauthorized sharing of an ‘intimate image’ (see dick pic) belonging
to former MSVU sex-ed business instructor Michael Kydd. “Today’s about my
daughter,” Canning replied. When pressed further, Canning’s wife Krista
attempted to intervene, but Glen reminded us all that he can (and
frequently does) speak for himself. “Go fuck yourself,” he said, before
demanding that another woman in his entourage “Get that dick away from me.”
If Glen was tired of hearing about his poorly thought out photo sharing
before the hearing, he must have been absolutely exhausted after listening
to the sentencing judge. “You are responsible for sharing that photo,” the
judge said, theoretically to the accused. “Every time the image is viewed,
the person depicted is victimized again and again.” To his credit, Glen did
not begin to squirm visibly as the judge hammered home the dire
consequences of sharing compromising photos without permission.
“Intimate images cannot be shared without consent under any circumstances,”
the judge said, “An adult knows this and would not be excused for doing so.”
Talk about awkward. The judge couldn’t have been any clearer if he’d come
down from his lofty perch, grabbed Glen Canning by the shoulders, and
slowly and patiently pronounced every word while staring him straight in
the face. Small wonder Mr. Canning suddenly developed an aversion to
publicity.
But the timing of his new-found media shyness couldn’t be more
disappointing. You see, Michael Kydd’s dick pic isn’t the only ‘intimate
image’ I’d like to ask Glen Canning about. I’d also like to ask him about
the dozen very intimate pictures featured on his Model Mayhem
<http://www.modelmayhem.com/ portfolio/119777/viewall> photography portfolio.
While these photos, taken by amateur photographer Glen, were all presumably
shared with the consent of their subjects, there’s something terribly
off-putting about a grieving father who crusades against the exploitation
of young women posting photos of young girls that would make an American
Apparel marketing agent blush.
<http://photos.modelmayhem. com/photos/060331/05/ 442d1554d4acb.jpg>
That some of the women appear to be minors is even more disturbing. There
may be only partial nudity pictured, but the photos are all very sexual,
and far from what you might expect to see posted by the father of a girl
made famous after being exploited in photos shared online.
After browsing through Glen’s collection of young nubiles, clicking on the
link titled “Glen Canning Multimedia Productions” takes you to a website
that is dominated by the story of Rehtaeh, and her father’s efforts to make
the internet a safer place for young women. ‘Help prevent sexual
exploitation’ is the central theme of the second site. ‘Check out these
fine, young hotties’ seems to be the main message of the first. The
transition is jarring, to say the least.
If Glen Canning can’t see the apparent conflict between these two facets of
his online presence, then I have to seriously question his judgement. Just
like I questioned it when he published Michael Kydd’s dick pic. Or when he
championed laws that eroded our privacy. Or when he sent Anonymous to
chastise his online critics. Or when he took a revisionist history approach
to recounting his daughter’s tragically short life. Or…
The list goes on, and week by week it grows longer. Glen apparently remains
unrepentant over the dick pic sharing incident.
Messages left with Glen questioning his thoughts on the judge’s statements,
and the contents of his Model Mayhem account, have not been returned.

Frank Magazine’s Got Glen Canning “Dead to Rights.”
by baconfatreport
<https://baconfatreport. wordpress.com/author/ baconfatreport/> on March 26,
2015
Glen Canning and Leah Parsons were killer parents. Rehaeh Parsons killed
herself to rid herself of her abusive “parents.”
Halifax’s Frank Magazine has got their number!
Is Rehtaeh’s dad a secret cyberbully?
by Andrew Douglas
There are more indications that *Glen Canning* has become the very thing
he’s vowed to eradicate.
It appears that Glen, under cover of anonymity, has taken to calling his
online critics down to the lowest, including but not limited to inviting
one individual to kindly “shoot yourself”.
The contrast between those words – uttered on the news discussion
website *novascotialive.com
<http://novascotialive.com>* – and Glen’s countless public statements on
the evils of cyberbullying, at conferences and in classrooms across the
continent, couldn’t be more stark.
When I presented Glen with several comments made under the username *Anne P*,
he denied making the remarks, and questioned how I could prove he did. But
he wasn’t interested in any answers. It was a brief conversation,
punctuated with several angry curse words. And then, following an
invitation to “have a nice day, dick,” he hung up on me.
—
This isn’t the first time Glen’s online behaviour has been called into
question. In *January,* he was roundly criticized
<http://www.frankmagazine.ca/ node/3524> for tweeting an edited picture of *Mike
**Kydd*‘s penis, after the adult student with whom he had an affair ran to
Glen for counsel, for whatever reason. Later, Glen withstood another round
of denunciation when *Frank* reporter *Blake Hunsley* revealed that Glen’s
hobbies include taking photographs of young-looking models “that would make
an *American Apparel* marketing agent blush
<http://www.frankmagazine.ca/ node/3531>“.
Glen Canning’s knack for finding his way into the news cycle on a
semi-daily basis, nearly two years after the tragic death of his
daughter, *Rehtaeh
Parsons*, has long been commented upon in an increasingly wide array of
circles. Much like impassable sidewalks in *Halifax* this winter, Glen
Canning has become, quite simply, an unavoidable fact of life.
Just this month, the local news media breathlessly reported that Glen
traveled to *New York* to address the *United Nations* — about the scourge
of cyberbullying, of course. And there’s the Rehtaeh documentary, which we
also learned recently will premiere at the *Hot Docs* film festival next
month. No doubt, Glen will be photographed on the red carpet in
*Toronto *sporting
a scarf and black t-shirt, along with all the other artsy folk.
After a few days without any news from Glen, I took to the Frank Magazine
*Twitter* account on *March 19* to question whether he made it through the
storm alright. Unbeknownst to me at the time, just minutes after that tweet
went up, a conversation thread criticizing Frank Magazine and its staff
appeared on Nova Scotia Live. A few days later, the thread was brought to
my attention via a newly-minted Twitter account, *@Terminal_Zen*, and its
owner, Anne P. The Twitter account was initially established to give a
wider audience to the N.S. Live discussion thread – also begun by somebody
called Anne P. – and the Twitter account holder proceeded to blame Frank
and its staff for, among other things, perpetuating rape culture, being
anti-woman and homophobic, and being “gutless assholes”.
Curious about this mysterious Anne P., I took to Nova Scotia Live to find
out what else she’s been saying. As far as I could tell, the account was
created in mid-*March*. And when she wasn’t criticizing Frank – which is
fair enough, hey, it’s a free country – she spent the rest of her time
defending Glen Canning from criticism on several fronts. About the Mike
Kydd incident, and, most notably, about a recent arrest made by military
police over online comments made on a *DND* computer. As you probably know,
the comments had to do with the Rehtaeh Parsons case, and the man arrested
turned out to be the father of one of Rehtaeh’s tormentors. But since the
military case involves a potential code of conduct violation and is not a
criminal matter at all, the arrest has been widely criticized, most notably
in a *March 4* *National Post* editorial that questions why an arrest,
search warrants, and the involvement of military police was necessary at
all.
On the Nova Scotia Live discussion board, Anne P shows a laser-like focus
on the details of the case, and she’s pissed:
“Canning made a complaint to the military police in *October*. A complaint.
One. Related to the words said on his web site. He made it to the military
police in Halifax,” she blusters.
“Not plural idiot. And not about *Wikipedia*. So fuck off. It’s in the
online stories if you can read shithead”.
Over on the National Post website comment section, a poster named
*TerminalZen*, while mounting another spirited defense of Glen, has words
with a fellow by the name of *Philip Rose*. I should note here that last
year Glen Canning wrote a detailed piece on his website, accusing the very
same Philip Rose of cyberbullying *Amanda Todd,* the *B.C.* teenager that
killed herself in *2012*. In that piece, Glen also claimed that Philip Rose
had reported him to police for being a pedophile.
In their exchange on the National Post website, “TerminalZen” accuses
Philip of being one of Amanda Todd’s cyberbullys. And then he tells Philip
that “the police always ignore you. Not that you’ve ever gone to them”.
Could that be an allusion to Glen’s belief that Philip reported him to
the *Canadian
Centre for Child Protection*, I wonder?
And then there’s Anne P.’s derisive comment: “You’ve never served, have
you?”
Glen, as you might know, is retired military.
It’s certainly beginning to look like Terminal Zen and Anne P, in all their
iterations, serve as pseudonyms to mask Glen Canning. Even moreso when you
consider that the Twitter account is using a photograph of a cyberbullied
gay teenager, *Adam Roberts*, whose cause Glen has championed on his
personal website. A *Google* reverse image search for the photo –
essentially, a way to find out where else on the web the photograph has
appeared – comes up empty. Deeper digging determines that the exact
photograph was one that was formerly used on the “*Adam’s Story*” *Facebook*
group, a forum run by Adam and his family. There are two other places that
particular photograph has appeared: on the Rehtaeh Parsons website, and
yes, you guessed it, on Glen Canning’s own website.
Another item of interest: Anne P.’s Twitter username, Terminal_Zen, was
changed just this morning, to something else. Which is notable because Glen
has an affinity to the concept of Zen: a section of his website is even
dedicated to “Seeking Zen”.
Anne P’s N.S. Live profile was deleted earlier this week. But screengrabs
taken by Frank Magazine show Glen – sorry, Anne P. – calling Glen Canning’s
detractors “retards,” “psychotic assholes,” and more. And, on one occasion,
as I mentioned up top, the one which invites a critic to kill himself.
In a thread dedicated to criticizing former *Coast* honcho/current *Halifax
Examiner* editor *Tim Bousquet*, Anne P. tells one commenter to “shoot
yourself. please”.
Two days before Glen – sorry, Anne P. – uttered those words, an article
appeared on *glencanning.com <http://glencanning.com>* with the
headline *Cyber-hate
is no joke*. To highlight just how far kids will go when showering hate on
one another, a real “mean tweet” is quoted verbatim:
“No one likes you. Do every one a favour. Kill yourself”.
It would seem there’s no shortage of adults willing to use such language
today as well.
Tonight, *March 26*, Glen Canning is scheduled to appear on an internet
radio chat show – at *voiceamerica.com <http://voiceamerica.com>* – in
order to discuss Rehtaeh, and “other victims of sexual violence and
cyber-harassment”. It sounds like one of those open-line call-in shows, so
I hope someone calls to ask him his thoughts about any “cyber-harassment”
he himself might have participated in lately.

Glenford Canning, David Amos, and Edmonton City Council
<https://baconfatreport. wordpress.com/2015/02/23/ glenford-canning-david-amos- and-edmonton-city-council/>

<https://baconfatreport. wordpress.com/author/ baconfatreport/>
Alberta Municipal Affairs Minister Dianna McQueen said, “Alberta’s cities
should not expect to be immune from cuts in the coming budget, even though
no decisions have been made yet.” She further announced, “the collapse in
oil prices drills a 7 billion dollar hole in Alberta coffers, which means
the province has to look at everything.”
Meanwhile back at Edmonton City Council Chambers, Ben “I want to be your
ho,” Henderson has his earphones on, listening to the dulcet strains of
Maria Dunne, stroking his crotch, and wishing for a blow job from her. Ben
“I want to be your ho” Henderson’s hero is Bill Clinton and loves chunky
bimbos in blue dresses.
Grandmother Bev Essinger the only bimbo on Edmonton City Council, has just
shot up ketamine. She is happily in the “K Hole.” Her eyes are glazed over,
her mouth drooling, and she is reclining in her chair with her legs spread,
skirt hiked up, and council creature Michael Oshry is lapping at her
pussy , as council is “called to order” by His Honour “the mayor.” “His
Honour” Don “the vacuous” Iveson begins to drone on once again how the
“province” and the federal government “need to make more investments in
backhanders to city politicians, and cash to municipal budgets, so
both, crooked addicted politicians, and the cities, “can have nice
things.” These are the same degenerate drug and sex addicts that
raised the city property tax rate by 5.8% and raised their salaries by 3.8
% . Mayor Don “the vacuous” Iveson says. “We’re all in this together,” but
I don’t see “council” sharing with the public any of the free dope they
get. ” I mean really!”
In this “council meeting” its clear His honour “the mayor” has few
coherent, lucid moments remaining. He tries to convince “council” of
the necessity of “approving an additional tax levy on Edmontonians” to buy
more quality drugs for “council” and to “fund other future LRT lines.” In
Dandy Don’s last coherent thoughts in this meeting, and orgy, he suggests
Edmonton transit users, also ought be charged more, in the form of
increases from one to ten percent. Don Iveson on heroin called
this, “council” developing a long-term strategy for transit. Most people
would call it an insane and drug fueled attempt to “get blood from a stone.”
Whilst Edmonton’s august City Council is “meeting” David Amos and his
“kiddies” Laura “the butt”, Gracie “the slut,” and Max “the angry faggot”
are circulating around “council” soliciting drug, and alcohol
inspired, entirely consensual , pay as you go sexual services. Business
appears to be brisk. David Amos’ faggot son has his pants around his ankles
and lubing up his “corn hole” for little Michael Oshry.
Glenford Canning is looking for a unoccupied dick to take a ” dic pic” of
for his twitter account and to latch his lips onto, and then I imagine, to
cry rape! Little David Amos, is in the corner of “council chambers”
masturbating, thinking of the next batch of spam e mails he’s going to send
tonight.
There you have it, another “city council” meeting. They say. “Canadians
love good government and lots of it!” But is there anyone in their right
mind that would call this…”peace order and good government?”
“It was rape Daddy, really!”

13 deadly hours
Over 13 hours, a man disguised as a Mountie travelled nearly 200
kilometres through Nova Scotia, killing 22 people. The Fifth Estate
explores what the RCMP knew about the gunman that night, how they
remained one step behind and why the public was left in the dark.

It was just days before his 46th birthday and Greg Blair was finally
mortgage- and debt-free. He and his wife, Jamie — affectionately known
as Chicken to her friends and family — ran a business together,
selling and installing propane and natural gas equipment across Nova
Scotia. In their downtime, they loved being outdoors and spent their
days surrounded by family.
"They're great people," Tyler Blair told The Fifth Estate. "Very hard
workers. My father worked very hard his whole life and ... was about
to start living life."
On the night of April 18, 2020, the Blairs hosted two neighbours for
dinner in their rural community of Portapique. With COVID-19
restrictions in place, they ate steak and potatoes at a table set up
in the garage with the doors open, allowing the cool spring air in.
After dinner, the couple planned to spend the evening burning some
brush they'd cleared that day. But around 10 p.m. that night, their
plans were interrupted.

Gabriel Wortman wasn't a friend of the Blairs. The denturist had a log
cottage on Portapique Beach Road, the next road over, and would drive
by their house on the way to his other property, a lavish garage where
he meticulously worked on his collection of motorcycles.
Parked inside that warehouse on Orchard Beach Road, unknown to many,
was a fully marked replica police vehicle Wortman had put together.
People in the community considered Wortman eccentric. From time to
time, he'd show off his bar with its extensive liquor supply inside
the wood-panelled garage. But some who knew him say he was a nasty
drunk and prone to fits of rage — whether it be directed at people
he'd hire to work on his property or his long-term partner.
That April night, after RCMP say he got in an argument with his
partner, Wortman started a rampage, killing 22 people across Nova
Scotia in Canada's largest mass shooting in modern history: 13 people
in Portapique; four in Wentworth; two in Debert; three more in
Shubenacadie.
WATCH | Tyler Blair says his dad and stepmom were "great people":
And for almost 12 hours after he left the community, the people of
Nova Scotia would receive little information from the RCMP about the
danger that stalked rural roads; a man killing at random disguised as
a Mountie.
The Fifth Estate has learned the RCMP received crucial details,
including the identity of the suspect and that he was driving what
appeared to be a fully marked replica police car, from the first
person they encountered on the scene that night in Portapique at 10:26
p.m., nearly 12 hours before they shared it with the public —
information victims' families say could have saved the lives of their
loved ones.
Saturday: 10:01 p.m.
In the seven months since, Tyler Blair, 27, has learned only some of
the specifics of what happened to his dad and stepmom that night.
He told The Fifth Estate that while his younger brothers, aged 10 and
12, were playing video games, his stepmother Jamie and the young boys
heard Greg yell, "What the f--k are you doing with a gun?"
They heard a shot. In an instant, Greg was killed steps from his front door.
"That's when Jamie ran back into the [house] and got [my brothers] and
pushed them down the hallway, and they all ran down into their
bedroom," Tyler Blair said.
He said his stepmother called 911 at 10:01 p.m. She was the first
person to alert the RCMP to a problem in Portapique. She stayed on the
line while shielding her sons from the gunman on the other side of the
bedroom door.

"My two little brothers hid behind the bed, and Jamie put her back up
against the interior door of their bedroom," Tyler Blair said. "He
just shot right through it."
Much later, when Tyler went to the house to collect some of Greg and
Jamie's things, he said he found at least eight bullet holes through
that bedroom door.
"There's one that actually went through the mattress of the bed, where
my little brothers were hiding, and probably missed them by about a
foot," he said.
After witnessing their mother die, the young boys realized the gunman
was trying to set the house on fire. The older boy found logs from
their wood stove strewn across the floor. The propane stove was on,
with hotdog and hamburger buns thrown on the top near the flaming
elements.

The brothers bolted through the woods towards their neighbour's house
to seek help.
In the meantime, the shooter continued on his rampage through
Portapique. Thirteen people would be dead by the time he left the
community, and he was far from finished.
Saturday: About 10:05 p.m.
Next door to the Blairs, elementary school teacher Lisa McCully had
been enjoying the saltwater air during her nightly ritual — a peaceful
walk along the shore.
Portapique is a small, rural community overlooking a river that flows
into Cobequid Bay, the easternmost tip of the Bay of Fundy. It's made
up of a mix of cottages, trailers and homes nestled on the shore.
There are a handful of gravel roads and no street lights. About 100 or
so people call the area home, although the population doubles during
the summer when families flock to the beach.
McCully moved to the area in part because she loved being close to
nature. When she wasn't making music, the 49-year-old spent her free
time hiking, doing yoga and playing with her children.
"She was fearless, she was your classic mama bear, she was so
protective of everyone," said her sister Jenny Kierstead.
After McCully returned home and put her son and daughter to bed that
evening, she noticed something troubling and stepped outside.
She lived directly across from Wortman's garage, though dense spruce
trees usually blocked the view of anything beyond the driveway and the
metal gate he normally kept locked. That night though, the building's
frame was disintegrating against the moonless sky.
"She had gone out to see these flames that were higher than the tree
line, and went out because she saw an RCMP officer," Kierstead said.
"Probably [to] ask, should we evacuate, what the heck is going on?"

McCully called 911 and then approached someone she thought was a
Mountie there to help.
It was Wortman, dressed as an RCMP officer — standing near a marked
vehicle. As she approached him, he shot and killed her.
Kierstead said it was reassuring to learn from police that her sister
died instantly.
McCully's children remained inside alone but answered the door when
the Blair boys later showed up looking for help. After calling 911,
the four friends huddled under the stairs in the basement.
The RCMP dispatcher tried to keep them calm and told them to wait for
someone to rescue them. The dispatcher told the kids an RCMP officer
would have a special word they would tell the children so they would
know it was a real officer — and that it was finally safe to come out.
Saturday: 10:20 p.m.
Lisa McCully wasn't the only person alarmed by the fire at Wortman's
garage. After they noticed flames, a man and woman who lived up the
road jumped in their car to get a closer look and called 911.
The man, who we'll refer to as PR, has never spoken publicly about his
experience and declined to be interviewed.
The Fifth Estate obtained an audio statement he gave in August to a
private investigator who is working on behalf of victims' families to
investigate the events of that night.
In the statement, he describes telling the RCMP about being shot by
Wortman in a mock-RCMP vehicle — information the RCMP didn't share
with the public until more than 12 hours after they'd received it.
PR said that while driving to see what was going on, he and his wife
spotted an RCMP vehicle parked in front of Frank and Dawn Gulenchyn's
blue house at the top of Orchard Beach Drive.

burned. (Steve Lawrence/CBC)

PR said they told the dispatcher that it appeared an RCMP officer was
already on scene, but he found it strange that the car was empty and
the roof lights weren't on.
The couple continued down the road towards the fire, and as they got
closer realized it was coming from the denturist's garage. PR said he
thought to call his neighbour Gabe and tell him, but remembered Gabe
didn't have a cellphone. PR and Gabe were friendly — they'd been
neighbours for nearly a decade. PR said they would have a beer
together now and then or talk about working on cars or motorcycles.
After seeing the fire, PR and his wife turned around and went back up
the road — still on the phone with 911, where the operator was trying
to transfer them to the fire department. They stopped in front of the
Gulenchyns' and noticed someone was now in the cruiser.
"Over the cop car and through the kitchen window the whole kitchen lit
up on fire fast," PR said. "Like, fast. So, we kinda [thought],
something's wrong."
"Not very often you see two fires at once and like, why is there a
police officer here?" he said. "It didn't make sense."
(CBC)
The Fifth Estate has learned that by that point, at least three people
had called 911, including Jamie Blair, who reported that her husband
was killed by a gunman before she, too, was shot shortly after 10 p.m.
But PR said the dispatcher didn't tell him what was going on. Months
later, he told the investigator that he is still frustrated that he
and his wife weren't warned of the danger ahead.
"So there's 20-some minutes before we called and ... they should have
told us to get the f--k out of there, but they didn't," he said in the
audio obtained by The Fifth Estate. "Why didn't the dispatcher know to
tell us to get out of there because people are getting shot?"
As they drove back towards their house, they noticed someone was in
the RCMP car — and that person started driving towards them. The car
pulled up beside PR and his wife.
"I rolled down the window to tell the RCMP officer that one, we're not
lighting the fires, and two, we're on the phone with 911," PR said.
That's when the man he thought was an RCMP officer rolled down his own
window and started firing a handgun at them.
PR recognized the shooter was his neighbour, Gabriel Wortman.
"We ducked quickly and I got shot in my forehead and one went through
my arm," the audio tapes obtained by The Fifth Estate reveal. "My wife
was OK but at that point I saw Gabe ... and I saw his gun. He had a
laser sight on the gun and thank God he did, because if not I wouldn't
have seen the handgun at all because it was dark."
Despite being hit twice — one bullet through the shoulder, the other
grazing his forehead — PR managed to drive away.
Around 10:26, he encountered the first RCMP officer on scene. His
account was confirmed in a summary of his police statement contained
in search warrant documents CBC and other media organizations obtained
in court.

in the woods after he discovered his brother had been shot by the
gunman:
Clinton Ellison says he hid in the woods for hours after discovering
the body of his brother, Corrie, the night of the mass shooting in
Portapique.
The Fifth Estate has learned it was at this point PR told the RCMP
officer that crucial information about the suspect and his disguise.
"I told [the RCMP officer] right away it's my neighbour Gabe," PR said
in the audio tape. "[I told him] he had ... an RCMP car. I knew he had
those cars but I'd never seen them badged ... So that's when I first
told him it was him in the car."
The constable he told this to immediately relayed the information over
his police radio, PR said.
By this point, PR said, there were three officers on scene: The first
to whom he told the information, the second who checked his gunshot
wounds to make sure he was OK and the third, who took him and his wife
to the end of the road to wait for help.
"[That officer] was watching the woods to make sure nothing came out
at us," he said in the interview obtained by The Fifth Estate.
"It was dark and it was terrifying for anybody there," he said. "I
don't know how they, those first officers on scene, I can't imagine
what they had to walk into."
RCMP 'overwhelmed'
Audio of Nova Scotia's Emergency Health Services (EHS) dispatch that
night reveals that at 10:49 p.m., they were told RCMP were
"overwhelmed" and needed help.
When the specialized Emergency Response Team (ERT) eventually arrived
kitted out in SWAT gear from Halifax, 130 kilometres away, they tried
to clear some houses on the first road in the subdivision — pounding
on doors and telling people to get out fast. They left others to sleep
through the night, unaware of what was happening around them.
But it's unclear what happened on the ground when police arrived. In
the seven months since the tragedy, the RCMP would not say how many
officers were dispatched but insist the support was sufficient and
officers followed their training.
"As dictated by their training, their objective was to locate and to
stop that threat," Supt. Darren Campbell said in a media conference on
June 4. "This is exactly what those RCMP first responders were working
towards."

People who were in the area that night have a different story.
Witnesses have told The Fifth Estate the initial response consisted of
three to four officers. How, when or even if they advanced on the
scene in Portapique is still a mystery.
A neighbour, who spoke to The Fifth Estate on the condition of
anonymity, said he didn't see any police presence on Orchard Beach
Drive, the scene of six killings, until the emergency response team
arrived at 12:45 a.m. Sunday — nearly three hours after he called 911
reporting gunshots.
Another resident, Leon Joudrey, said he encountered an ERT vehicle
outside Wortman's burnt cottage but didn't see any police officers
when he drove around Orchard Beach Road around 4 a.m., unaware his
neighbours had been killed.
"It seems to me that the RCMP are not wanting the entire story to come
out about how the response to this tragedy took place," Rob Pineo, a
lawyer representing the families of the victims in a lawsuit against
the shooter's estate, told The Fifth Estate. "To be frank, [their
response] seems to be quite embarrassing [for the RCMP]."
The Fifth Estate has learned police didn't make it to the home of
Emily, Jolene and Oliver Tuck until 19 hours after police believe they
were killed in their home. Investigators would later tell family
members they didn't discover the three bodies until 5 p.m. Sunday — 19
hours after police believe they were killed.
It would also take the RCMP more than two hours to rescue the four
children hiding in Lisa McCully's basement.

"It shouldn't take two hours to go in and get four young kids out of
an area that you know some madman's running around with a gun," Blair
told The Fifth Estate. "It is a f--king long time for them to be
sitting there ... I don't know why somebody wasn't sent in earlier to
get them out of there."
The RCMP later told their families that as many as six officers were
stationed around the house to protect the children. But Blair doesn't
buy it.
"The RCMP have been caught in so many lies already," he told The Fifth
Estate. "It's hard for me to believe a word that comes out of their
mouth."
On the ground and in their makeshift operations headquarters in a
nearby firehall, the RCMP seemed to be putting the pieces together
about the horror that had unfolded in Portapique.
Around 3 a.m., an RCMP investigator called PR to go over his story
again. They spoke for about an hour and PR sent the investigator a
photo of Wortman he'd found on Facebook, "just to confirm," he said.
PR said in total, he told the RCMP three times about Wortman and the marked car.
But it wouldn't be until 12 hours after PR's first conversation that
the RCMP would share that crucial information with the public.
The RCMP has repeatedly refused to speak with The Fifth Estate about
the mass shootings.
During the 13-hour rampage, the RCMP communicated with the public via
Twitter. They'd later say they were counting on local media to relay
information to the public.
At 11:32 p.m. the RCMP first tweeted they were dealing with a
"firearms complaint" in Portapique — no mention of fires, a gunman or
anyone being hurt or killed.
(CBC)
And critically, no mention of those key details The Fifth Estate has
learned they were investigating overnight: that it was Wortman in a
mock-RCMP vehicle.
According to internal bulletins that were circulated to police
agencies across the province, by 1 a.m., the RCMP had identified the
51-year-old as a suspect who was "armed and dangerous" and associated
him with "an old white police car."
The RCMP spent the night tracking vehicles associated with the gunman,
including three decommissioned police cars. They found one white Ford
Taurus burning at each of the shooter's properties in Portapique. A
third would be located at his business in Dartmouth.
When all three cars had been accounted for, The Fifth Estate has
learned the RCMP made a fateful assumption. By dawn, they concluded
the gunman must have taken his own life — not an unusual outcome after
a violent rampage — and thought they'd find the evidence somewhere in
the rubble of his torched properties.
An RCMP source says some officers were even sent home at that point.
And while Mounties blocked off a section of Highway 2 connected to
Portapique Beach Road, there was something else they hadn't realized:
Portapique had a back way out — a dirt road along a blueberry field
that leads to the highway, a few hundred metres from the subdivision's
main entrance.
RCMP have said their investigation later determined the gunman escaped
down that road about 20 minutes after police arrived — driving
approximately 27 kilometres to the community of Debert. He spent the
night parked behind a welding shop.
Sunday: 6:30 a.m.
The RCMP have always insisted they didn't know that Wortman was using
a replica police car until around 6:30 a.m. Sunday.
"Those details came in their totality to us early in the morning of
Sunday, after a key witness was located and interviewed," RCMP said in
a media conference on April 22. "Prior to that time, we did not have
all those details. The bulk of the details about our suspect came to
us at that time."
That key witness was the gunman's spouse. Police say they got in a
fight and he assaulted her, which was the start of the rampage that
Saturday night.
The Fifth Estate has learned the woman told investigators that Wortman
restrained her with a handcuff on one of her wrists. She said she
escaped from the marked police car by crawling through the window in
the divider between the front and backseat, fleeing and hiding until
daybreak.
Around 8 a.m., after police spoke with her, an updated bulletin was
sent out, telling other police forces the gunman was potentially
driving a "fully marked Ford Taurus," and gave the car number. It
warned "he could be anywhere in the province" and "was arrestable for
homicide."
At almost the same time the RCMP was telling other police services
that information, the force released its second tweet — saying there
was an "active shooter" investigation in Portapique, not "anywhere in
the province" as they had said internally.
Two hours later, around 9 a.m., the RCMP identified Wortman publicly
as the suspected shooter in a tweet. But that tweet still contained no
mention of a mock-RCMP car or a police uniform.
It wouldn't be until after 10 a.m. Sunday, and after the gunman killed
19 people, that police would release this information. It remains
unclear why they waited.
They also didn't mention he could be anywhere in the province, as
they'd identified internally — or even the possibility that he'd left
Portapique, where he left behind the bodies of 13 of his neighbours.
Among those killed in Portapique were Jolene Oliver, Aaron Tuck and
their daughter Emily and three couples who retired to Portapique in
recent years: Joy and Peter Bond, Frank and Dawn Gulenchyn and John
Zahl and Joanne Thomas. Corrie Ellison, 42, was also shot on Orchard
Beach Road after going to see if anyone was in trouble when he spotted
the flames at Wortman's warehouse. His brother, who discovered his
body, hid in the woods for hours fearing the gunman was after him,
too.

Canada's largest mass shooting struggle with what they say is a lack
of information from the RCMP. (CBC)

Sunday: 6:30 a.m.
As word of the destruction began to travel informally among family and
friends, people awoke to their normal Sunday routines. For those whose
weekend rituals included scrolling through social media, some spotted
posts about police activity in a corner of Colchester County.
At this point, the information released to the public via Twitter by
the RCMP was still only that there was an active shooter in
Portapique, and residents in that area should stay inside with their
doors locked. People in other parts of the province were cautious, but
saw no reason to worry.
But that bright Sunday morning, what looked like a Mountie in a patrol
car was travelling north, taking the lone highway into the Wentworth
Valley. He wouldn't stop until he was more than halfway across
northern Nova Scotia.
Around 6:30 a.m., videos taken along a country road 50 kilometres from
Portapique show the mock-RCMP cruiser with a distinctive black push
bar heading to the home of Sean McLeod and Alanna Jenkins, who worked
as managers at federal penitentiaries.
Sean and Alanna were father and stepmother to two daughters, who say
their parents loved to host friends and their home on Hunter Road was
always welcoming.
WATCH | Amielia McLeod says her dad and stepmom were loving, welcomed everyone:
"I wouldn't be who I am without him, like I grew up going fishing,
hunting, like he taught me everything. They were really caring,
selfless, loving, fun," said Sean's daughter Amielia McLeod.
The family does not know why the killer targeted them that morning or
what he did during the three hours he spent at their home.
Police believe he killed the couple and their two dogs shortly after
he arrived. Before he left, he set the house on fire and neighbours
say in a matter of minutes, flames engulfed the wall of windows that
faced the Wallace River where Sean and Alanna loved to spend their
days floating.

The gunman also killed Tom Bagley close to the deck of the home where
McLeod and Jenkins lived. Bagley was a retired former firefighter who
was out for a walk.
Surveillance videos captured Wortman's car leaving Hunter Road at 9:23
a.m., driving faster than he had hours earlier. On the highway heading
south from Wentworth, the gunman killed another stranger, Lillian
Campbell, who was out walking.
By now, the information released to the public via Twitter by the RCMP
was still that there was an active shooter in Portapique, and
residents in that area should stay inside with their doors locked.
It was during these hours that the gunman's spouse emerged from hiding
in Portapique, and the RCMP realized their suspect may not be where
they thought he was. Around 9 a.m., the RCMP began to receive frantic
calls from Wentworth.
When RCMP officers arrived on Hunter Road sometime after 10 a.m., the
shooter was long gone — continuing his killing spree close to the
warehouse where he'd spent the night.
Sunday: 9:59 a.m.
About 40 kilometres from Portapique in Onslow Mountain, Nick Beaton
was making breakfast for his two-year-old son. His wife, Kristen, had
just left for work.
She worked for the Victorian Order of Nurses, travelling around Nova
Scotia taking care of those who needed her. She was a continuing care
assistant and during the COVID-19 pandemic, she was especially tired —
she was pregnant and had a small child at home.
"She was going to work early in the morning you know six, seven in the
morning whatever it was, and [before she left] she came in and gave me
a big kiss and a big hug and she said, 'Baby you're the best,'" Nick
Beaton said.
"Little did I know that would be the last kiss I'd have."
Nick Beaton said he and his wife, Kristen, shown her during her first
pregnancy, had a perfect life with their young son. She had just found
out she was pregnant with their second child when she was killed.

Meanwhile, in nearby Masstown, Heather O'Brien was also getting ready
for the day; the nurse, who worked for the same organization as
Beaton, was hoping to spend her day off working on her garden. Before
she got started, the mother of eight wanted to check in on her family.
Earlier that morning, O'Brien's daughter Darcy Dobson was awoken by
her husband with heartbreaking news: their friends Greg and Jamie
Blair had been shot and killed in Portapique. Her husband was Jamie's
cousin; their sons played hockey together.
"At that point, we weren't sure what had happened [in Portapique],"
Dobson said. "I got up at 5:30, made a cup of coffee and called my
mom."
Knowing her family was shaken by that news, O'Brien offered to swing
by with a round of coffees for her children and smiles for her 12
grandchildren. They all lived in a loop in Colchester County, close
enough that O'Brien could stop in for visits and the drinks would
still be delivered hot.
"She knew we were all kind of a little bit on edge about what was
happening in Portapique," Dobson told The Fifth Estate. "More than
anything she just kinda wanted to see us, make sure everybody was OK."
At this point, the only information the O'Brien family had was that
something was happening in Portapique and police were still there, so
she didn't think much of leaving her house more than 20 kilometres
away from the scene.
As she drove, she called a fellow nurse who lived on the opposite side
of Portapique. Since there was only one rural highway for her friend
to travel — the road that went through Portapique — and the RCMP had
part of it blocked off, O'Brien wanted to make sure her coworker could
still make it to her appointments.

Little did O'Brien know the gunman was heading her way, and she was
about to run into him on Plains Road in Debert.
She never made it to the coffee shop.
Not far away, after Kristen Beaton left for work, her husband Nick was
texting her updates of what was happening in Portapique.
"I'm thinking that ... it was like an isolated incident, that him and
family got into it," he said. “Not thinking that he's out targeting
innocent people."
The Beatons weren't worried, but were still being careful.
They chatted while she was pulled over on the side of Plains Road,
waiting for her next visit. As they spoke, Nick cautioned her not to
stop for anyone.
By this time, the RCMP had tweeted the name and a photo of their suspect.
"I just said, 'OK, I'm gonna go to his Facebook to find his picture
and send it to you just in case you see him to avoid him,' or what
have you," Nick Beaton said.
The photo was a smiling man in a ball cap. It was the last text
Kristen Beaton read. The man in the photo came across Beaton as she
was pulled over on the side of the road.
At that very same time, Heather O'Brien was heading down the same
road, talking to her colleague on the phone. She saw what she thought
was an RCMP car.

At 9:59 a.m., O'Brien heard gunshots. She sent a text message to her
kids in their family group chat:
RCMP.
Shots fired Debert.
It was likely the gunfire that killed Kristen Beaton.
"The coworker asked her where she was, and she said the RCMP was there
and at that point she had screamed," said Dobson.
The line dropped. Her friend frantically dialled 911.
"I think she probably felt safe [seeing the] RCMP car," Dobson said.
"If there's shots being fired in Debert, like at least the cops are
here."
O'Brien was killed by the gunman just a few hundred metres from Kristen Beaton.
When O'Brien and Beaton left their homes Sunday morning, they and
their families weren't aware that the gunman had fled Portapique — or
even that the situation was ongoing.

"It would have been after mom was killed that they posted he was
[nearby]," O'Brien's daughter Darcy Dobson said. "It was after she was
killed that they posted he was in an RCMP car."
About 15 minutes after O'Brien and Beaton were killed, Nova Scotia
RCMP tweeted their suspect could be dressed as a Mountie driving a
vehicle that was all but identical to an actual cruiser. It was 15
minutes too late for the two women. And it was nearly 12 hours after
the RCMP received that information.
"The [RCMP] had an opportunity to stop him before the people who died
on the 19th were killed," said Dobson. "They failed to give the public
the information they needed to stay safe."
"I've gone over and over and over again they didn't release that he
was dressed as an officer," Nick Beaton said.
He is adamant if they knew that information, his wife would be by his
side today.
"If the RCMP had've armed us with the information of who he was and
what they knew by 11 o'clock Saturday night ... she wouldn't have even
been on the road," he said.
"Me and many other blue nosers in Nova Scotia were sitting on their
front deck with their firearms protecting their family. And she'd have
been behind me, she'd have been safe."
In all, the RCMP would release 10 tweets over the 13-hour rampage —
releasing new tweets as they received information and sightings of the
gunman as he traversed Nova Scotia.
Sunday: 10:49 a.m.
As the RCMP were frantically trying to track down their suspect,
Const. Chad Morrison waited in his squad car to meet a colleague. By
then, police knew the gunman was on the move.
He and Const. Heidi Stevenson both worked out of Enfield, an hour's
drive from Portapique, and had been called to Colchester County to
help set up roadblocks. They agreed to meet at an intersection about
50 kilometres from Debert.
According to court documents, Morrison pulled up to an approaching
police car in Shubenacadie thinking it was Stevenson there to meet
him. It wasn't.
The gunman pulled out a handgun and started firing at Morrison. He was
shot in the arm, and managed to drive away — frantically pressing the
emergency alarm in his car as he sped off.
The gunman’s mock cruiser was finally stopped when he collided with
Const. Heidi Stevenson. The silver SUV was driven by Joey Webber, who
was killed by the gunman when he pulled over to help. (Submitted by
Rob Pineo)

Meanwhile, less than 500 metres from where he struck Morrison, the
gunman spotted Stevenson. He turned to intercept her, veering both
cars into the guardrails of the ramp onto Highway 2 where they
collided.
They exchanged gunfire and Stevenson, a 23-year member of the force
and mother of two, was killed. The RCMP say Stevenson died a hero,
sacrificing her life to protect the people of Nova Scotia.
The gunman then killed Joey Webber, who stopped to help after seeing
the two crashed cruisers. The 36-year old father of two had been en
route to buy furnace oil, and like the many other victims was unaware
of any danger nearby.
The shooter stole Stevenson's police-issue pistol and lit the cruisers
on fire before taking off in Webber's SUV.
Sunday: 11:26 a.m.
Half an hour later, police finally stopped their suspect at a busy gas
station not far from Halifax's international airport.
He was driving a car stolen from his final victim, Gina Goulet. After
fleeing from where the two cruisers burned, Wortman killed Goulet in
her nearby home.
WATCH | Darcy Dobson says RCMP "failed" at providing information to
keep public safe:
Goulet was a denturist who had twice battled cancer. She loved salsa
dancing and fishing. Her beloved German Shepherd was shot but the dog
survived.
When the gunman stole her car, the gas tank was almost empty. He soon
headed to one of the area's busiest gas stations.
But as fate would have it, a member of the Emergency Response Team who
was en route to try and stop the gunman had also pulled into the Big
Stop in Enfield to get gas.
The RCMP officer recognized Wortman, and the gunman was shot and
killed. Police later found five guns in his vehicle.
At 11:26 a.m on Sunday, 13 hours after it began, the rampage had ended.
The aftermath
In the months since the tragedy, the RCMP has offered few answers for
families or the public. The force held five media conferences, the
last in early June. Media organizations, including the CBC, have gone
to court to try to gain access to search warrant documents.
In the early days after the shooting, RCMP said they had no files on
Wortman. But police documents obtained by the CBC reveal the
51-year-old wasn't a stranger to police.
He was convicted of assaulting a teen in 2001 and investigated for
threatening his parents in 2010.
The following year, Truro police received a tip that Wortman was
mentally unstable, had firearms and threatened to kill a cop. In 2013,
a neighbour in Portapique reported to police that Wortman was abusive
towards his partner and had illegal weapons. None of these incidents
resulted in charges and it's unclear to what extent police
investigated.
"How in the hell is he not a red flag?" said Heather O'Brien's
daughter Darcy Dobson. "It seems to me that a wealthy man with
charisma got away with doing whatever the hell he wanted."
In the months since losing his wife, Nick Beaton has embarked on his
own investigation, trying to piece together information about the
shooter and what happened over those 13 hours.
"I tried to sit back so I could heal, so I could deal with it, and I
can't," he said. "I need answers. There's too many questions, there's
too many things not answered."
WATCH | Nick Beaton says "if RCMP had armed us with the information
they had ... she'd have been safe":
In a meeting with investigators, he asked the Mounties to explain how
they reached the conclusion that their suspect was dead.
"They couldn't answer it, they were going to look into it and get back
to me," Beaton told The Fifth Estate. "I haven't heard nothing yet,
it's been months.
"I can lay here and bawl the rest of my life, which I know Kristen
wouldn't want, or fight."
Beaton is one of the named plaintiffs in the proposed class-action
lawsuit against Wortman's estate. The families are also suing the RCMP
and the province.
"We just want answers, we want the truth, full transparency," he said.
"We want the RCMP to say we messed up, we made mistakes here, here and
here we're learning from it and it's not going to happen again.
"It wasn't the men and women officers that day that I'm upset at, it's
the force in general, it's the top brass, it's the people making the
decisions."
He and other family members grew frustrated over the summer as calls
for a public inquiry went unanswered.
On the same day Beaton and Dobson led a march of family members to the
Bible Hill RCMP detachment in support of an inquiry, they learned the
federal and provincial justice ministers would announce an independent
review, but not the public inquiry they asked for.
Family and friends of victims, including Sean McLeod's daughters,
Taylor Andrews, left, and Amielia McLeod, attend a march demanding an
inquiry into the April mass shooting in Nova Scotia that killed 22
people, in Bible Hill, N.S., on July 22, 2020. (Andrew Vaughan/The
Canadian Press)

people, in Bible Hill, N.S., on July 22, 2020. (Andrew Vaughan/The
Canadian Press)
Public outcry was swift and harsh, and within a week, federal Public
Safety Minister Bill Blair backtracked and said an inquiry would go
ahead. In October — days after the six-month anniversary of their
loved ones deaths — family members finally got a timeline.
"I have often said this, if it was myself or one of my sisters, my
brother, or my dad, [my mother] would have done everything I have done
and more," Dobson said. She knows her mother would have settled for
"nothing less than the truth."
"She would have demanded it, she'd have been worse than me," she said.
"Everybody says you know, I am out there — and I am loud ... they
would have been scared if she walked in the doors of that RCMP station
because she wouldn't have taken no for an answer on anything."
The inquiry's final report is due by Nov. 1, 2022. Until then,
families are left to grieve their loved ones without fully
understanding how they came to lose them so violently.
"I know as much now as I knew in April or May," Tyler Blair said.
"It's disgraceful.... We shouldn't have to fight and beg for answers."
With his parents gone, Blair now cares for his younger brothers and is
running the family business. Although he and his father had talked
about him taking it on eventually, it wasn't meant to happen this
soon, this way.
"I'm just doing what I should do — what my father would want me to do."

Twenty E Mails Last Night From David Amos
by baconfatreport
<https://baconfatreport.
2015
I and hundreds of others it seems received about twenty mass e-mailings
from convicted and registered pedophile David Raymond Amos of Halifax last
night. These e-mails are totally unsolicited, completely unwanted, poorly
written, go on for ever and ever, and are… spam. Damn, that’s a lot of
spam! There is nothing David Raymond Amos has to say or could say to anyone
the planet… that anyone would want to hear. David Raymond Amos is the
product of incestuous sexual congress betwixt his mother and her brother a
German Shepherd Dog.
Hey David! If you, little Glenford Canning, the boys at Frank Magazine, and
anonymous don’t like this humble blog…don’t read it!
Oh dear, call me “Maxwell” lol lol lol

Leah Parsons Says!
by baconfatreport
<https://baconfatreport.
2015
Killer “parent” and entrepreneur Leah Parsons says ! “My daughter will be
remembered for what she stood for!” That’s a big negatory Leah baby! Retaeh
Parsons will be known for having a really stupid name, (Heather in
dyslexic) and for being a thirteen year-old slut that would do anything or
fuck anyone to “sit at the cool-kids table at school.” Rehtaeh Parsons will
be remembered for killing herself because she had to rid herself of two
disinterested, abusive, and now self-promoting “parents.”
The world, Canada and Maritime kanada is a better place with the
self-inflicted demise of little Rehtaeh Parsons. There’s one less hooker on
the streets of Halifax, there’s one less uneducated bimbo with four kids on
the welfare rolls. One less scum from maritime kanada with her hand in our
pockets.

Glenford Canning’s “Rape Culture!”
by baconfatreport
<https://baconfatreport.
2015
Rehateh Parsons was her daddy’s “very special angel!” Long before what Leah
Parsons called”that fateful party,” Glenford Canning would in the dark of
night do what the early Old Testiment Prophets referred to as “wash her
feet,” and or “lie with,” his daughter Rehtaeh Parsons. By the time Rehateh
Parsons was a prepubescent thirteen years old she was already emotionally
and intellectually damaged if not destroyed by Glenford Canning. Rehtaeh
Parsons at thirteen was “acting out,” lying to her entirely disinterested
“parents,” attending regularly sex parties and abusing both alcohol and
recreational drugs. “That fateful party” was NOT little Rehteah’s “first
rodeo” but only the culmination of a very large number drunken incidences
of sexual congress with a multiplicity of partners… all them completely
consensual.
Rehtaeh Parsons extinguished her worthless life to rid herself of her
disinterested “mother” and abusive “father. Her “life” was ended by her
“father” before it had an opportunity to begin.
If there were any justice in this world and there isn’t, Leah Parsons and
Glenford Canning would be dead.

The Canning / Parsons Crime Syndicate!
by baconfatreport
<https://baconfatreport.
18, 2015
The sordid, tragic, criminally negligent, and culpable story of little
Rehtaeh Parsons is finally over! The contrived self-serving false
allegations, lies and cries of rape were just that; contrived,
self-serving false allegations, lies and cries of rape. A couple of day’s
ago the last principle or former teenage-boy was adjudicated, judged and
sentenced in a Halifax “kangaroo court,” for doing what all teenagers did
all those years ago, sending risqué pictures of each other on their cell
phones. Two teenage boys, and what began as a couple of teenage-girls were
tossing back “vodka shots.” Notwithstanding the begging and protestations
of the girl, Rehtaeh who had gone to the party with, for Rehtaeh not to
fuck her boyfriend, Rehateh climbed the stairs to the bedroom with two
young boys, including her friend’s paramour to fuck their brains out.
Last evening I posted two news pieces from the National Post, and Frank
Magazine on this Blog, about this sordid hoax, and elaborate confidence
scheme. Longstanding, and well-known cyber-troll and criminal stalker of
women David Amos of Halifax sent literally thousands of unsolicited, and
spam e mails to thousands of “victims” last evening, complaining about this
Blog and its posts from the National Post, and Frank Magazine were
“cyber-stalking Glenford Canning!” That I was perpetrating salacious, and
slanderous libel upon, and “cyber-stalking” poor Glenford Canning by
posting two pieces from the national media.
Canada, and Canadians have finally learned the truth about Rehtaeh Parsons,
her fictious rape, the true circumstances regarding her suicide, the
character of her “killer parents” Glen Canning and Leah Parsons, but more
importantly the entire elaborate hoax and con job this entire sordid tale
became.
Back to what Leah Parsons called “that fateful party,” Rehtaeh Parsons goes
up the stairs to the bedroom with two boys, one of them her best friend’s
boyfriend. Rehtaeh is described to be naked from the waist down, leaning
over a window, and they have been screwing for a while. Suddenly Rehtaeh
says she’s going to be sick, and one of the two boys places her in range of
the window so she wouldn’t spew on the floor. Rehteah then goes to the
bathroom, and whilst she was there, the two teenage-boys shared a smoke by
the window. When Rehtaeh returns, she tells the boys she wants to continue
with the “sexual athletics,” and so this entirely consensual sex continues.
Teenagers “tweet,” Face Book, share, everything, no one’s High School years
aren’t without significant emotional trauma. Little Rehtaeh was more than
OK, with that evening’s sexual athletics for over a week…until the pictures
appeared on or in cyber-space.
Police witness statements relate Rehtaeh telling “friends” she didn’t want
to be perceived as a “slut,” when she first saw the photos in cyber-space,
and at that point Rehtaeh, Leah, and Glenford decided one of Rehtaeh’s
numerous consensual sexual adventures was now a ” vicious gang rape ” by
four boys. As Halifax Police and the RCMP conducted two over year-long
investigations, there wasn’t a scintilla of evidence of rape, by four boys,
two boys or any boys. During two police investigations the ” Canning /
Parsons Crime Syndicate” engaged hacker collective anonymous to “out” boys
that weren’t involved, and one boy that wasn’t even at there. Glen Canning
had anonymous even hack the computer accounts of the Father of one the
boys investigated. Leah Parsons led lynch mobs through the streets of
Halifax tearing handbills off posts, that told Haligonians to await the
results of the police investigations. Leah Parsons whined, cried, and lied
to the media how she was frightened, and threatened that handbills were
posted saying…”innocent until proven guilty.” The Rehteah Parsons, Leah
Parsons, / Glenford Canning crime family bullied, threatened, stalked, and
harassed innocent boys, and their parents. The Parsons / Canning crime
family vilified, libeled, and propagandizing against the boys and their
family’s, the Parsons / Canning criminals knew were innocent… because there
was never a rape. Two police investigations found no evidence of a rape or
sexual assault because their wasn’t any.
Even at the time “of that fateful party,” the Parsons / Canning marriage
was problematic, it was a dysfunctional family, a broken home, the parents
were disinterested, and abusive. While the Parsons / Canning crime family
were conducting a social media circus, lynch mob, and con, seventeen
year-old Rehtaeh had stopped attending school, became addicted to drugs,
and was co-habitating with a twenty-three year-old man. On April 4 2013
Rehtaeh after a quarrel with her adult significant other, went home and
hanged herself. The ever opportunistic, and looking to make a buck Leah
Parsons and Glenford Canning immediately called every and all media outlets
to remonstrate loudly Rehtaeh’s suicide was the result of the “four boys”
that “viciously gang raped” her. The problem was….there was no rape. The
Parsons / Canning crime syndicate now had tragically lost one of its
members. But Glenford and Leah simply blamed The Crown, the Halifax police,
the Nova Scotia government, the “culture of rape in Canada,” The Halifax
School Board, the four “little bastards” that “viciously gang raped” her,
and now the little bastards who took those action photos, of Rehtaeh in
consensual action. Since Rehtaeh had “shrugged off this mortal
coil,” the Parsons / Canning crime syndicate has made a bundle. Clearly
Rehtaeh Parsons was screwed up long before ” that fateful party”. Little
Rehtaeh’s “parents ” gained far more from her death than ever when she was
alive .
They say “you can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can’t
fool all the people all the time.” The Glenford Canning / Leah Parsons
crime organization has outlived its welcome in Halifax according to Frank
Magazine. Frank Magazine suggested that “was past time for Glen Canning to
get a real job.” Glen Canning recently posted the genitalia of a college
professor, on twitter in a fit of righteous altruistic rage. When the last
boy was sentenced a couple of days ago, the judge lectured both the boy
being sentenced and Glen Canning for taking pictures of a sexual nature.
Glen Canning knew it and Halifax’s media knew it.
No one screwed up the Rehtaeh Parsons’ case or investigation. Its past time
for the Canning / Parsons crime syndicate to consider simply to shut the
fuck up…you’re liars!

Glenford Canning…”A Killer Dad!”

Haligonians are starting to wish that Glenford and Leah were long gone.

A legal lynching took place Thursday at the hands of the media, Glen
Canning, and the Mount Saint Vincent University administration. They and we
should all feel a bit dirty.
Michael Kydd, a part-time instructor at Mount Saint Vincent University,
was suspended, then resigned, after he was found to have had a brief sexual
relationship with a student.
The student was 38 years old, Kydd is 40. The course was a distance
education offering, the sex consensual. The woman says they were both going
through a difficult patch—Kydd was separated from his wife and seeking a
divorce—when they found comfort in each other’s arms. A total of two
liaisons, a bit of sexting, and some shared explicit photos.
On one occasion, Kydd prorated a grade for the woman, as he had for other
students, when a medical emergency prevented her from attending an exam.
A few weeks ago, the unnamed woman somehow began meeting with Canning, the
crusading father of the late Rehtaeh Parsons, and shortly after, she
reported the affair to the school administration. Yesterday Canning tweeted
a bowdlerized photo of the man’s penis along with some disapproving text.
I’ll pause for a moment while you absorb that.
When teenaged boys texted an explicit photo of Rehtaeh, Canning
understandably demanded their hides. Throughout the process leading to the
boys’ sentencing, he was constantly on the news and in social media,
condemning their actions and the bullying it engendered.
He showed no such concern for Kydd’s children, or the families
involved, when he shared an explicit photo without consent yesterday—only
an impulse to indulge in slut-shaming of his own. When his lewd display
touched off a firestorm on Twitter, he deleted the tweet but remained
unrepentant.
The Mount suspended Kydd, and gratuitously reassured students the accused
instructor was “not currently in the classroom”—gotta keep up the fantasy
he posed some kind of menace, don’t you know. President Ramona Lumpkin
issued a statement affirming the university’s sensitivity to “protecting
and supporting the student who has made this allegation and… providing
whatever supports needed.”
Like a backbone, maybe?
The only backbone in evidence belonged to Kydd, who summoned reporters to
his lawyer’s office, where he read a statement acknowledging his actions
and announced he had resigned from his part-time teaching job.
“I did not want to compound my mistake—and this is my mistake—by failing to
come forward and take responsibility,” he said. “I expect my career to be
ruined.”
Seriously? Of all the characters in this tawdry operetta—the jilted ex-lover,
the avenging hypocrite, the prissy president—Kydd is the only one I’d
trust with work, children, or the truth. He’s the only one who owned up,
spoke plain words, shouldered responsibility.
This is but the latest example of what happens when authorities substitute
zero tolerance for considered judgment.
I’d say the Merit Contractors Association of Nova Scotia, where Kydd serves
as president, is fortunate to have a person of his character. I
suspect they won’t be stampeded into joining the lynch mob.
One last thing: Will this episode finally persuade the Halifax media to
exercise critical judgment and stop treating Canning as a hero whose every
mean-spirited utterance is regarded as received truth?

Get this dick out of here”: has Glen Canning fallen out of love with the
media?
by Blake Hunsley
[image: "Get this dick out of here": has Glen Canning fallen out of love
with the media?]
<http://www.frankmagazine.ca/
Something very strange happened at the hearing held today to sentence the
man who shared the infamously ‘intimate’ photo of Rehtaeh Parsons. When the
hearing ended and the assembled representatives of the local press held out
their cameras and microphones to receive Glen Canning’s latest
pronouncements, he walked right past them. Briskly too, without a word or a
glance. I’m surprised there wasn’t more of an audible gasp in the room.
As his appearances on virtually every network and newspaper cover across
this nation and beyond have shown again and again, Glen’s not one to shrink
from publicity. So why today, on such an important day, would he avoid the
press entirely? Well it likely has to do with an uncomfortable question he
was asked on his way in to court earlier in the day. After a slightly
awkward introduction (a hand was extended in friendship, it was not
reciprocated), Frank editor Andrew Douglas asked Glen for a comment on his
recent unauthorized sharing of an ‘intimate image’ (see dick pic) belonging
to former MSVU sex-ed business instructor Michael Kydd. “Today’s about my
daughter,” Canning replied. When pressed further, Canning’s wife Krista
attempted to intervene, but Glen reminded us all that he can (and
frequently does) speak for himself. “Go fuck yourself,” he said, before
demanding that another woman in his entourage “Get that dick away from me.”
If Glen was tired of hearing about his poorly thought out photo sharing
before the hearing, he must have been absolutely exhausted after listening
to the sentencing judge. “You are responsible for sharing that photo,” the
judge said, theoretically to the accused. “Every time the image is viewed,
the person depicted is victimized again and again.” To his credit, Glen did
not begin to squirm visibly as the judge hammered home the dire
consequences of sharing compromising photos without permission.
“Intimate images cannot be shared without consent under any circumstances,”
the judge said, “An adult knows this and would not be excused for doing so.”
Talk about awkward. The judge couldn’t have been any clearer if he’d come
down from his lofty perch, grabbed Glen Canning by the shoulders, and
slowly and patiently pronounced every word while staring him straight in
the face. Small wonder Mr. Canning suddenly developed an aversion to
publicity.
But the timing of his new-found media shyness couldn’t be more
disappointing. You see, Michael Kydd’s dick pic isn’t the only ‘intimate
image’ I’d like to ask Glen Canning about. I’d also like to ask him about
the dozen very intimate pictures featured on his Model Mayhem
<http://www.modelmayhem.com/
While these photos, taken by amateur photographer Glen, were all presumably
shared with the consent of their subjects, there’s something terribly
off-putting about a grieving father who crusades against the exploitation
of young women posting photos of young girls that would make an American
Apparel marketing agent blush.
<http://photos.modelmayhem.
That some of the women appear to be minors is even more disturbing. There
may be only partial nudity pictured, but the photos are all very sexual,
and far from what you might expect to see posted by the father of a girl
made famous after being exploited in photos shared online.
After browsing through Glen’s collection of young nubiles, clicking on the
link titled “Glen Canning Multimedia Productions” takes you to a website
that is dominated by the story of Rehtaeh, and her father’s efforts to make
the internet a safer place for young women. ‘Help prevent sexual
exploitation’ is the central theme of the second site. ‘Check out these
fine, young hotties’ seems to be the main message of the first. The
transition is jarring, to say the least.
If Glen Canning can’t see the apparent conflict between these two facets of
his online presence, then I have to seriously question his judgement. Just
like I questioned it when he published Michael Kydd’s dick pic. Or when he
championed laws that eroded our privacy. Or when he sent Anonymous to
chastise his online critics. Or when he took a revisionist history approach
to recounting his daughter’s tragically short life. Or…
The list goes on, and week by week it grows longer. Glen apparently remains
unrepentant over the dick pic sharing incident.
Messages left with Glen questioning his thoughts on the judge’s statements,
and the contents of his Model Mayhem account, have not been returned.

Frank Magazine’s Got Glen Canning “Dead to Rights.”
by baconfatreport
<https://baconfatreport.
2015
Glen Canning and Leah Parsons were killer parents. Rehaeh Parsons killed
herself to rid herself of her abusive “parents.”
Halifax’s Frank Magazine has got their number!
Is Rehtaeh’s dad a secret cyberbully?
by Andrew Douglas
There are more indications that *Glen Canning* has become the very thing
he’s vowed to eradicate.
It appears that Glen, under cover of anonymity, has taken to calling his
online critics down to the lowest, including but not limited to inviting
one individual to kindly “shoot yourself”.
The contrast between those words – uttered on the news discussion
website *novascotialive.com
<http://novascotialive.com>* – and Glen’s countless public statements on
the evils of cyberbullying, at conferences and in classrooms across the
continent, couldn’t be more stark.
When I presented Glen with several comments made under the username *Anne P*,
he denied making the remarks, and questioned how I could prove he did. But
he wasn’t interested in any answers. It was a brief conversation,
punctuated with several angry curse words. And then, following an
invitation to “have a nice day, dick,” he hung up on me.
—
This isn’t the first time Glen’s online behaviour has been called into
question. In *January,* he was roundly criticized
<http://www.frankmagazine.ca/
**Kydd*‘s penis, after the adult student with whom he had an affair ran to
Glen for counsel, for whatever reason. Later, Glen withstood another round
of denunciation when *Frank* reporter *Blake Hunsley* revealed that Glen’s
hobbies include taking photographs of young-looking models “that would make
an *American Apparel* marketing agent blush
<http://www.frankmagazine.ca/
Glen Canning’s knack for finding his way into the news cycle on a
semi-daily basis, nearly two years after the tragic death of his
daughter, *Rehtaeh
Parsons*, has long been commented upon in an increasingly wide array of
circles. Much like impassable sidewalks in *Halifax* this winter, Glen
Canning has become, quite simply, an unavoidable fact of life.
Just this month, the local news media breathlessly reported that Glen
traveled to *New York* to address the *United Nations* — about the scourge
of cyberbullying, of course. And there’s the Rehtaeh documentary, which we
also learned recently will premiere at the *Hot Docs* film festival next
month. No doubt, Glen will be photographed on the red carpet in
*Toronto *sporting
a scarf and black t-shirt, along with all the other artsy folk.
After a few days without any news from Glen, I took to the Frank Magazine
*Twitter* account on *March 19* to question whether he made it through the
storm alright. Unbeknownst to me at the time, just minutes after that tweet
went up, a conversation thread criticizing Frank Magazine and its staff
appeared on Nova Scotia Live. A few days later, the thread was brought to
my attention via a newly-minted Twitter account, *@Terminal_Zen*, and its
owner, Anne P. The Twitter account was initially established to give a
wider audience to the N.S. Live discussion thread – also begun by somebody
called Anne P. – and the Twitter account holder proceeded to blame Frank
and its staff for, among other things, perpetuating rape culture, being
anti-woman and homophobic, and being “gutless assholes”.
Curious about this mysterious Anne P., I took to Nova Scotia Live to find
out what else she’s been saying. As far as I could tell, the account was
created in mid-*March*. And when she wasn’t criticizing Frank – which is
fair enough, hey, it’s a free country – she spent the rest of her time
defending Glen Canning from criticism on several fronts. About the Mike
Kydd incident, and, most notably, about a recent arrest made by military
police over online comments made on a *DND* computer. As you probably know,
the comments had to do with the Rehtaeh Parsons case, and the man arrested
turned out to be the father of one of Rehtaeh’s tormentors. But since the
military case involves a potential code of conduct violation and is not a
criminal matter at all, the arrest has been widely criticized, most notably
in a *March 4* *National Post* editorial that questions why an arrest,
search warrants, and the involvement of military police was necessary at
all.
On the Nova Scotia Live discussion board, Anne P shows a laser-like focus
on the details of the case, and she’s pissed:
“Canning made a complaint to the military police in *October*. A complaint.
One. Related to the words said on his web site. He made it to the military
police in Halifax,” she blusters.
“Not plural idiot. And not about *Wikipedia*. So fuck off. It’s in the
online stories if you can read shithead”.
Over on the National Post website comment section, a poster named
*TerminalZen*, while mounting another spirited defense of Glen, has words
with a fellow by the name of *Philip Rose*. I should note here that last
year Glen Canning wrote a detailed piece on his website, accusing the very
same Philip Rose of cyberbullying *Amanda Todd,* the *B.C.* teenager that
killed herself in *2012*. In that piece, Glen also claimed that Philip Rose
had reported him to police for being a pedophile.
In their exchange on the National Post website, “TerminalZen” accuses
Philip of being one of Amanda Todd’s cyberbullys. And then he tells Philip
that “the police always ignore you. Not that you’ve ever gone to them”.
Could that be an allusion to Glen’s belief that Philip reported him to
the *Canadian
Centre for Child Protection*, I wonder?
And then there’s Anne P.’s derisive comment: “You’ve never served, have
you?”
Glen, as you might know, is retired military.
It’s certainly beginning to look like Terminal Zen and Anne P, in all their
iterations, serve as pseudonyms to mask Glen Canning. Even moreso when you
consider that the Twitter account is using a photograph of a cyberbullied
gay teenager, *Adam Roberts*, whose cause Glen has championed on his
personal website. A *Google* reverse image search for the photo –
essentially, a way to find out where else on the web the photograph has
appeared – comes up empty. Deeper digging determines that the exact
photograph was one that was formerly used on the “*Adam’s Story*” *Facebook*
group, a forum run by Adam and his family. There are two other places that
particular photograph has appeared: on the Rehtaeh Parsons website, and
yes, you guessed it, on Glen Canning’s own website.
Another item of interest: Anne P.’s Twitter username, Terminal_Zen, was
changed just this morning, to something else. Which is notable because Glen
has an affinity to the concept of Zen: a section of his website is even
dedicated to “Seeking Zen”.
Anne P’s N.S. Live profile was deleted earlier this week. But screengrabs
taken by Frank Magazine show Glen – sorry, Anne P. – calling Glen Canning’s
detractors “retards,” “psychotic assholes,” and more. And, on one occasion,
as I mentioned up top, the one which invites a critic to kill himself.
In a thread dedicated to criticizing former *Coast* honcho/current *Halifax
Examiner* editor *Tim Bousquet*, Anne P. tells one commenter to “shoot
yourself. please”.
Two days before Glen – sorry, Anne P. – uttered those words, an article
appeared on *glencanning.com <http://glencanning.com>* with the
headline *Cyber-hate
is no joke*. To highlight just how far kids will go when showering hate on
one another, a real “mean tweet” is quoted verbatim:
“No one likes you. Do every one a favour. Kill yourself”.
It would seem there’s no shortage of adults willing to use such language
today as well.
Tonight, *March 26*, Glen Canning is scheduled to appear on an internet
radio chat show – at *voiceamerica.com <http://voiceamerica.com>* – in
order to discuss Rehtaeh, and “other victims of sexual violence and
cyber-harassment”. It sounds like one of those open-line call-in shows, so
I hope someone calls to ask him his thoughts about any “cyber-harassment”
he himself might have participated in lately.

Glenford Canning, David Amos, and Edmonton City Council
<https://baconfatreport.
by baconfatreport
<https://baconfatreport.
Alberta Municipal Affairs Minister Dianna McQueen said, “Alberta’s cities
should not expect to be immune from cuts in the coming budget, even though
no decisions have been made yet.” She further announced, “the collapse in
oil prices drills a 7 billion dollar hole in Alberta coffers, which means
the province has to look at everything.”
Meanwhile back at Edmonton City Council Chambers, Ben “I want to be your
ho,” Henderson has his earphones on, listening to the dulcet strains of
Maria Dunne, stroking his crotch, and wishing for a blow job from her. Ben
“I want to be your ho” Henderson’s hero is Bill Clinton and loves chunky
bimbos in blue dresses.
Grandmother Bev Essinger the only bimbo on Edmonton City Council, has just
shot up ketamine. She is happily in the “K Hole.” Her eyes are glazed over,
her mouth drooling, and she is reclining in her chair with her legs spread,
skirt hiked up, and council creature Michael Oshry is lapping at her
pussy , as council is “called to order” by His Honour “the mayor.” “His
Honour” Don “the vacuous” Iveson begins to drone on once again how the
“province” and the federal government “need to make more investments in
backhanders to city politicians, and cash to municipal budgets, so
both, crooked addicted politicians, and the cities, “can have nice
things.” These are the same degenerate drug and sex addicts that
raised the city property tax rate by 5.8% and raised their salaries by 3.8
% . Mayor Don “the vacuous” Iveson says. “We’re all in this together,” but
I don’t see “council” sharing with the public any of the free dope they
get. ” I mean really!”
In this “council meeting” its clear His honour “the mayor” has few
coherent, lucid moments remaining. He tries to convince “council” of
the necessity of “approving an additional tax levy on Edmontonians” to buy
more quality drugs for “council” and to “fund other future LRT lines.” In
Dandy Don’s last coherent thoughts in this meeting, and orgy, he suggests
Edmonton transit users, also ought be charged more, in the form of
increases from one to ten percent. Don Iveson on heroin called
this, “council” developing a long-term strategy for transit. Most people
would call it an insane and drug fueled attempt to “get blood from a stone.”
Whilst Edmonton’s august City Council is “meeting” David Amos and his
“kiddies” Laura “the butt”, Gracie “the slut,” and Max “the angry faggot”
are circulating around “council” soliciting drug, and alcohol
inspired, entirely consensual , pay as you go sexual services. Business
appears to be brisk. David Amos’ faggot son has his pants around his ankles
and lubing up his “corn hole” for little Michael Oshry.
Glenford Canning is looking for a unoccupied dick to take a ” dic pic” of
for his twitter account and to latch his lips onto, and then I imagine, to
cry rape! Little David Amos, is in the corner of “council chambers”
masturbating, thinking of the next batch of spam e mails he’s going to send
tonight.
There you have it, another “city council” meeting. They say. “Canadians
love good government and lots of it!” But is there anyone in their right
mind that would call this…”peace order and good government?”
“It was rape Daddy, really!”

Trudeau Foundation N'esy Pas?
To: David Amos <david.raymond.amos333@gmail.
A lot of info to chew on - every now and then we win one - Today we
won a partial victory when the provincial liberals threw the federal
liberals under the bus forcing their hand . Now the spin will be to
get a judge they can control.

> Families of Shooting Victims Disappointed by “Independent Review”
>
> The “Independent Review” announced by Ministers Furey and Blair is
> wholly insufficient to meet the objectives of providing full and
> transparent answers to the families and the public, identifying
> deficiencies in responses, and providing meaningful lessons to be
> learned to avoid similar future tragedies.
>
> The choices of commissioners, and in particular Former Chief Justice
> Michael MacDonald, were thoughtful and appropriate for an inquiry.
> Former Chief Justice MacDonald is of the highest rank in judicial
> capabilities and is of unassailable integrity. That said, any
> decision- maker can only render decisions based on the information and
> evidence presented to them.
>
> The announced “independent review” model, to be conducted in a
> so-called “non- traumatic” and “restorative” way, will prejudice the
> panel by restricting the evidence and information being presented.
>
> In a public inquiry setting, such as was employed in the Marshall and
> Westray public inquiries, interested parties had the opportunity to
> question the witnesses. It is a very well- held maxim in our common
> law legal tradition, that cross-examination is the most effective
> truth-finding mechanism available. Without proper and thorough
> questioning, the panel will be left with incomplete and untested
> evidence upon which to base its decision. This is completely contrary
> to our Canadian notions of fair and transparent justice.
>
> Most disappointingly, Ministers Furey and Blair have hidden behind
> their contrived notion of a “trauma-free” process to exclude the full
> participation of the families under the guise of protecting them from
> further trauma. This is not how the families wish to be treated.
> Minister Furey has spoken with the families, so he must know that they
> want to participate, not to be “protected” by an incomplete process.
>
> The families want a full and transparent public inquiry. Why will
> Minister Furey not give them this? Why will he not give the citizens
> of Nova Scotia this? “We are all in this together” has been the slogan
> throughout 2020 - the families simply want us all, the public, to be
> in this together now to figure out a better tomorrow for families and

13 deadly hours
Over 13 hours, a man disguised as a Mountie travelled nearly 200
kilometres through Nova Scotia, killing 22 people. The Fifth Estate
explores what the RCMP knew about the gunman that night, how they
remained one step behind and why the public was left in the dark.

It was just days before his 46th birthday and Greg Blair was finally
mortgage- and debt-free. He and his wife, Jamie — affectionately known
as Chicken to her friends and family — ran a business together,
selling and installing propane and natural gas equipment across Nova
Scotia. In their downtime, they loved being outdoors and spent their
days surrounded by family.
"They're great people," Tyler Blair told The Fifth Estate. "Very hard
workers. My father worked very hard his whole life and ... was about
to start living life."
On the night of April 18, 2020, the Blairs hosted two neighbours for
dinner in their rural community of Portapique. With COVID-19
restrictions in place, they ate steak and potatoes at a table set up
in the garage with the doors open, allowing the cool spring air in.
After dinner, the couple planned to spend the evening burning some
brush they'd cleared that day. But around 10 p.m. that night, their
plans were interrupted.

Gabriel Wortman wasn't a friend of the Blairs. The denturist had a log
cottage on Portapique Beach Road, the next road over, and would drive
by their house on the way to his other property, a lavish garage where
he meticulously worked on his collection of motorcycles.
Parked inside that warehouse on Orchard Beach Road, unknown to many,
was a fully marked replica police vehicle Wortman had put together.
People in the community considered Wortman eccentric. From time to
time, he'd show off his bar with its extensive liquor supply inside
the wood-panelled garage. But some who knew him say he was a nasty
drunk and prone to fits of rage — whether it be directed at people
he'd hire to work on his property or his long-term partner.
That April night, after RCMP say he got in an argument with his
partner, Wortman started a rampage, killing 22 people across Nova
Scotia in Canada's largest mass shooting in modern history: 13 people
in Portapique; four in Wentworth; two in Debert; three more in
Shubenacadie.
WATCH | Tyler Blair says his dad and stepmom were "great people":
And for almost 12 hours after he left the community, the people of
Nova Scotia would receive little information from the RCMP about the
danger that stalked rural roads; a man killing at random disguised as
a Mountie.
The Fifth Estate has learned the RCMP received crucial details,
including the identity of the suspect and that he was driving what
appeared to be a fully marked replica police car, from the first
person they encountered on the scene that night in Portapique at 10:26
p.m., nearly 12 hours before they shared it with the public —
information victims' families say could have saved the lives of their
loved ones.
Saturday: 10:01 p.m.
In the seven months since, Tyler Blair, 27, has learned only some of
the specifics of what happened to his dad and stepmom that night.
He told The Fifth Estate that while his younger brothers, aged 10 and
12, were playing video games, his stepmother Jamie and the young boys
heard Greg yell, "What the f--k are you doing with a gun?"
They heard a shot. In an instant, Greg was killed steps from his front door.
"That's when Jamie ran back into the [house] and got [my brothers] and
pushed them down the hallway, and they all ran down into their
bedroom," Tyler Blair said.
He said his stepmother called 911 at 10:01 p.m. She was the first
person to alert the RCMP to a problem in Portapique. She stayed on the
line while shielding her sons from the gunman on the other side of the
bedroom door.

the mattress. (Jamie Blair/Facebook)

"My two little brothers hid behind the bed, and Jamie put her back up
against the interior door of their bedroom," Tyler Blair said. "He
just shot right through it."
Much later, when Tyler went to the house to collect some of Greg and
Jamie's things, he said he found at least eight bullet holes through
that bedroom door.
"There's one that actually went through the mattress of the bed, where
my little brothers were hiding, and probably missed them by about a
foot," he said.
After witnessing their mother die, the young boys realized the gunman
was trying to set the house on fire. The older boy found logs from
their wood stove strewn across the floor. The propane stove was on,
with hotdog and hamburger buns thrown on the top near the flaming
elements.

The brothers bolted through the woods towards their neighbour's house
to seek help.
In the meantime, the shooter continued on his rampage through
Portapique. Thirteen people would be dead by the time he left the
community, and he was far from finished.
Saturday: About 10:05 p.m.
Next door to the Blairs, elementary school teacher Lisa McCully had
been enjoying the saltwater air during her nightly ritual — a peaceful
walk along the shore.
Portapique is a small, rural community overlooking a river that flows
into Cobequid Bay, the easternmost tip of the Bay of Fundy. It's made
up of a mix of cottages, trailers and homes nestled on the shore.
There are a handful of gravel roads and no street lights. About 100 or
so people call the area home, although the population doubles during
the summer when families flock to the beach.
McCully moved to the area in part because she loved being close to
nature. When she wasn't making music, the 49-year-old spent her free
time hiking, doing yoga and playing with her children.
"She was fearless, she was your classic mama bear, she was so
protective of everyone," said her sister Jenny Kierstead.
After McCully returned home and put her son and daughter to bed that
evening, she noticed something troubling and stepped outside.
She lived directly across from Wortman's garage, though dense spruce
trees usually blocked the view of anything beyond the driveway and the
metal gate he normally kept locked. That night though, the building's
frame was disintegrating against the moonless sky.
"She had gone out to see these flames that were higher than the tree
line, and went out because she saw an RCMP officer," Kierstead said.
"Probably [to] ask, should we evacuate, what the heck is going on?"

McCully called 911 and then approached someone she thought was a
Mountie there to help.
It was Wortman, dressed as an RCMP officer — standing near a marked
vehicle. As she approached him, he shot and killed her.
Kierstead said it was reassuring to learn from police that her sister
died instantly.
McCully's children remained inside alone but answered the door when
the Blair boys later showed up looking for help. After calling 911,
the four friends huddled under the stairs in the basement.
The RCMP dispatcher tried to keep them calm and told them to wait for
someone to rescue them. The dispatcher told the kids an RCMP officer
would have a special word they would tell the children so they would
know it was a real officer — and that it was finally safe to come out.
Saturday: 10:20 p.m.
Lisa McCully wasn't the only person alarmed by the fire at Wortman's
garage. After they noticed flames, a man and woman who lived up the
road jumped in their car to get a closer look and called 911.
The man, who we'll refer to as PR, has never spoken publicly about his
experience and declined to be interviewed.
The Fifth Estate obtained an audio statement he gave in August to a
private investigator who is working on behalf of victims' families to
investigate the events of that night.
In the statement, he describes telling the RCMP about being shot by
Wortman in a mock-RCMP vehicle — information the RCMP didn't share
with the public until more than 12 hours after they'd received it.
PR said that while driving to see what was going on, he and his wife
spotted an RCMP vehicle parked in front of Frank and Dawn Gulenchyn's
blue house at the top of Orchard Beach Drive.

burned. (Steve Lawrence/CBC)

PR said they told the dispatcher that it appeared an RCMP officer was
already on scene, but he found it strange that the car was empty and
the roof lights weren't on.
The couple continued down the road towards the fire, and as they got
closer realized it was coming from the denturist's garage. PR said he
thought to call his neighbour Gabe and tell him, but remembered Gabe
didn't have a cellphone. PR and Gabe were friendly — they'd been
neighbours for nearly a decade. PR said they would have a beer
together now and then or talk about working on cars or motorcycles.
After seeing the fire, PR and his wife turned around and went back up
the road — still on the phone with 911, where the operator was trying
to transfer them to the fire department. They stopped in front of the
Gulenchyns' and noticed someone was now in the cruiser.
"Over the cop car and through the kitchen window the whole kitchen lit
up on fire fast," PR said. "Like, fast. So, we kinda [thought],
something's wrong."
"Not very often you see two fires at once and like, why is there a
police officer here?" he said. "It didn't make sense."
(CBC)
The Fifth Estate has learned that by that point, at least three people
had called 911, including Jamie Blair, who reported that her husband
was killed by a gunman before she, too, was shot shortly after 10 p.m.
But PR said the dispatcher didn't tell him what was going on. Months
later, he told the investigator that he is still frustrated that he
and his wife weren't warned of the danger ahead.
"So there's 20-some minutes before we called and ... they should have
told us to get the f--k out of there, but they didn't," he said in the
audio obtained by The Fifth Estate. "Why didn't the dispatcher know to
tell us to get out of there because people are getting shot?"
As they drove back towards their house, they noticed someone was in
the RCMP car — and that person started driving towards them. The car
pulled up beside PR and his wife.
"I rolled down the window to tell the RCMP officer that one, we're not
lighting the fires, and two, we're on the phone with 911," PR said.
That's when the man he thought was an RCMP officer rolled down his own
window and started firing a handgun at them.
PR recognized the shooter was his neighbour, Gabriel Wortman.
"We ducked quickly and I got shot in my forehead and one went through
my arm," the audio tapes obtained by The Fifth Estate reveal. "My wife
was OK but at that point I saw Gabe ... and I saw his gun. He had a
laser sight on the gun and thank God he did, because if not I wouldn't
have seen the handgun at all because it was dark."
Despite being hit twice — one bullet through the shoulder, the other
grazing his forehead — PR managed to drive away.
Around 10:26, he encountered the first RCMP officer on scene. His
account was confirmed in a summary of his police statement contained
in search warrant documents CBC and other media organizations obtained
in court.
WATCH | Clinton Ellison describes the terrifying night he spent hiding
in the woods after he discovered his brother had been shot by the
gunman:
Clinton Ellison says he hid in the woods for hours after discovering
the body of his brother, Corrie, the night of the mass shooting in
Portapique.
The Fifth Estate has learned it was at this point PR told the RCMP
officer that crucial information about the suspect and his disguise.
"I told [the RCMP officer] right away it's my neighbour Gabe," PR said
in the audio tape. "[I told him] he had ... an RCMP car. I knew he had
those cars but I'd never seen them badged ... So that's when I first
told him it was him in the car."
The constable he told this to immediately relayed the information over
his police radio, PR said.
By this point, PR said, there were three officers on scene: The first
to whom he told the information, the second who checked his gunshot
wounds to make sure he was OK and the third, who took him and his wife
to the end of the road to wait for help.
"[That officer] was watching the woods to make sure nothing came out
at us," he said in the interview obtained by The Fifth Estate.
"It was dark and it was terrifying for anybody there," he said. "I
don't know how they, those first officers on scene, I can't imagine
what they had to walk into."
RCMP 'overwhelmed'
Audio of Nova Scotia's Emergency Health Services (EHS) dispatch that
night reveals that at 10:49 p.m., they were told RCMP were
"overwhelmed" and needed help.
When the specialized Emergency Response Team (ERT) eventually arrived
kitted out in SWAT gear from Halifax, 130 kilometres away, they tried
to clear some houses on the first road in the subdivision — pounding
on doors and telling people to get out fast. They left others to sleep
through the night, unaware of what was happening around them.
But it's unclear what happened on the ground when police arrived. In
the seven months since the tragedy, the RCMP would not say how many
officers were dispatched but insist the support was sufficient and
officers followed their training.
"As dictated by their training, their objective was to locate and to
stop that threat," Supt. Darren Campbell said in a media conference on
June 4. "This is exactly what those RCMP first responders were working
towards."

People who were in the area that night have a different story.
Witnesses have told The Fifth Estate the initial response consisted of
three to four officers. How, when or even if they advanced on the
scene in Portapique is still a mystery.
A neighbour, who spoke to The Fifth Estate on the condition of
anonymity, said he didn't see any police presence on Orchard Beach
Drive, the scene of six killings, until the emergency response team
arrived at 12:45 a.m. Sunday — nearly three hours after he called 911
reporting gunshots.
Another resident, Leon Joudrey, said he encountered an ERT vehicle
outside Wortman's burnt cottage but didn't see any police officers
when he drove around Orchard Beach Road around 4 a.m., unaware his
neighbours had been killed.
"It seems to me that the RCMP are not wanting the entire story to come
out about how the response to this tragedy took place," Rob Pineo, a
lawyer representing the families of the victims in a lawsuit against
the shooter's estate, told The Fifth Estate. "To be frank, [their
response] seems to be quite embarrassing [for the RCMP]."
The Fifth Estate has learned police didn't make it to the home of
Emily, Jolene and Oliver Tuck until 19 hours after police believe they
were killed in their home. Investigators would later tell family
members they didn't discover the three bodies until 5 p.m. Sunday — 19
hours after police believe they were killed.
It would also take the RCMP more than two hours to rescue the four
children hiding in Lisa McCully's basement.

the RCMP to rescue them. (Steve Lawrence/CBC)

"It shouldn't take two hours to go in and get four young kids out of
an area that you know some madman's running around with a gun," Blair
told The Fifth Estate. "It is a f--king long time for them to be
sitting there ... I don't know why somebody wasn't sent in earlier to
get them out of there."
The RCMP later told their families that as many as six officers were
stationed around the house to protect the children. But Blair doesn't
buy it.
"The RCMP have been caught in so many lies already," he told The Fifth
Estate. "It's hard for me to believe a word that comes out of their
mouth."
On the ground and in their makeshift operations headquarters in a
nearby firehall, the RCMP seemed to be putting the pieces together
about the horror that had unfolded in Portapique.
Around 3 a.m., an RCMP investigator called PR to go over his story
again. They spoke for about an hour and PR sent the investigator a
photo of Wortman he'd found on Facebook, "just to confirm," he said.
PR said in total, he told the RCMP three times about Wortman and the marked car.
But it wouldn't be until 12 hours after PR's first conversation that
the RCMP would share that crucial information with the public.
The RCMP has repeatedly refused to speak with The Fifth Estate about
the mass shootings.
During the 13-hour rampage, the RCMP communicated with the public via
Twitter. They'd later say they were counting on local media to relay
information to the public.
At 11:32 p.m. the RCMP first tweeted they were dealing with a
"firearms complaint" in Portapique — no mention of fires, a gunman or
anyone being hurt or killed.
(CBC)
And critically, no mention of those key details The Fifth Estate has
learned they were investigating overnight: that it was Wortman in a
mock-RCMP vehicle.
According to internal bulletins that were circulated to police
agencies across the province, by 1 a.m., the RCMP had identified the
51-year-old as a suspect who was "armed and dangerous" and associated
him with "an old white police car."
The RCMP spent the night tracking vehicles associated with the gunman,
including three decommissioned police cars. They found one white Ford
Taurus burning at each of the shooter's properties in Portapique. A
third would be located at his business in Dartmouth.
When all three cars had been accounted for, The Fifth Estate has
learned the RCMP made a fateful assumption. By dawn, they concluded
the gunman must have taken his own life — not an unusual outcome after
a violent rampage — and thought they'd find the evidence somewhere in
the rubble of his torched properties.
An RCMP source says some officers were even sent home at that point.
And while Mounties blocked off a section of Highway 2 connected to
Portapique Beach Road, there was something else they hadn't realized:
Portapique had a back way out — a dirt road along a blueberry field
that leads to the highway, a few hundred metres from the subdivision's
main entrance.
RCMP have said their investigation later determined the gunman escaped
down that road about 20 minutes after police arrived — driving
approximately 27 kilometres to the community of Debert. He spent the
night parked behind a welding shop.
Sunday: 6:30 a.m.
The RCMP have always insisted they didn't know that Wortman was using
a replica police car until around 6:30 a.m. Sunday.
"Those details came in their totality to us early in the morning of
Sunday, after a key witness was located and interviewed," RCMP said in
a media conference on April 22. "Prior to that time, we did not have
all those details. The bulk of the details about our suspect came to
us at that time."
That key witness was the gunman's spouse. Police say they got in a
fight and he assaulted her, which was the start of the rampage that
Saturday night.
The Fifth Estate has learned the woman told investigators that Wortman
restrained her with a handcuff on one of her wrists. She said she
escaped from the marked police car by crawling through the window in
the divider between the front and backseat, fleeing and hiding until
daybreak.
Around 8 a.m., after police spoke with her, an updated bulletin was
sent out, telling other police forces the gunman was potentially
driving a "fully marked Ford Taurus," and gave the car number. It
warned "he could be anywhere in the province" and "was arrestable for
homicide."
At almost the same time the RCMP was telling other police services
that information, the force released its second tweet — saying there
was an "active shooter" investigation in Portapique, not "anywhere in
the province" as they had said internally.
Two hours later, around 9 a.m., the RCMP identified Wortman publicly
as the suspected shooter in a tweet. But that tweet still contained no
mention of a mock-RCMP car or a police uniform.
It wouldn't be until after 10 a.m. Sunday, and after the gunman killed
19 people, that police would release this information. It remains
unclear why they waited.
They also didn't mention he could be anywhere in the province, as
they'd identified internally — or even the possibility that he'd left
Portapique, where he left behind the bodies of 13 of his neighbours.
Among those killed in Portapique were Jolene Oliver, Aaron Tuck and
their daughter Emily and three couples who retired to Portapique in
recent years: Joy and Peter Bond, Frank and Dawn Gulenchyn and John
Zahl and Joanne Thomas. Corrie Ellison, 42, was also shot on Orchard
Beach Road after going to see if anyone was in trouble when he spotted
the flames at Wortman's warehouse. His brother, who discovered his
body, hid in the woods for hours fearing the gunman was after him,
too.

Canada's largest mass shooting struggle with what they say is a lack
of information from the RCMP. (CBC)

Sunday: 6:30 a.m.
As word of the destruction began to travel informally among family and
friends, people awoke to their normal Sunday routines. For those whose
weekend rituals included scrolling through social media, some spotted
posts about police activity in a corner of Colchester County.
At this point, the information released to the public via Twitter by
the RCMP was still only that there was an active shooter in
Portapique, and residents in that area should stay inside with their
doors locked. People in other parts of the province were cautious, but
saw no reason to worry.
But that bright Sunday morning, what looked like a Mountie in a patrol
car was travelling north, taking the lone highway into the Wentworth
Valley. He wouldn't stop until he was more than halfway across
northern Nova Scotia.
Around 6:30 a.m., videos taken along a country road 50 kilometres from
Portapique show the mock-RCMP cruiser with a distinctive black push
bar heading to the home of Sean McLeod and Alanna Jenkins, who worked
as managers at federal penitentiaries.
Sean and Alanna were father and stepmother to two daughters, who say
their parents loved to host friends and their home on Hunter Road was
always welcoming.
WATCH | Amielia McLeod says her dad and stepmom were loving, welcomed everyone:
"I wouldn't be who I am without him, like I grew up going fishing,
hunting, like he taught me everything. They were really caring,
selfless, loving, fun," said Sean's daughter Amielia McLeod.
The family does not know why the killer targeted them that morning or
what he did during the three hours he spent at their home.
Police believe he killed the couple and their two dogs shortly after
he arrived. Before he left, he set the house on fire and neighbours
say in a matter of minutes, flames engulfed the wall of windows that
faced the Wallace River where Sean and Alanna loved to spend their
days floating.

The gunman also killed Tom Bagley close to the deck of the home where
McLeod and Jenkins lived. Bagley was a retired former firefighter who
was out for a walk.
Surveillance videos captured Wortman's car leaving Hunter Road at 9:23
a.m., driving faster than he had hours earlier. On the highway heading
south from Wentworth, the gunman killed another stranger, Lillian
Campbell, who was out walking.
By now, the information released to the public via Twitter by the RCMP
was still that there was an active shooter in Portapique, and
residents in that area should stay inside with their doors locked.
It was during these hours that the gunman's spouse emerged from hiding
in Portapique, and the RCMP realized their suspect may not be where
they thought he was. Around 9 a.m., the RCMP began to receive frantic
calls from Wentworth.
When RCMP officers arrived on Hunter Road sometime after 10 a.m., the
shooter was long gone — continuing his killing spree close to the
warehouse where he'd spent the night.
Sunday: 9:59 a.m.
About 40 kilometres from Portapique in Onslow Mountain, Nick Beaton
was making breakfast for his two-year-old son. His wife, Kristen, had
just left for work.
She worked for the Victorian Order of Nurses, travelling around Nova
Scotia taking care of those who needed her. She was a continuing care
assistant and during the COVID-19 pandemic, she was especially tired —
she was pregnant and had a small child at home.
"She was going to work early in the morning you know six, seven in the
morning whatever it was, and [before she left] she came in and gave me
a big kiss and a big hug and she said, 'Baby you're the best,'" Nick
Beaton said.
"Little did I know that would be the last kiss I'd have."
Nick Beaton said he and his wife, Kristen, shown her during her first
pregnancy, had a perfect life with their young son. She had just found
out she was pregnant with their second child when she was killed.

Meanwhile, in nearby Masstown, Heather O'Brien was also getting ready
for the day; the nurse, who worked for the same organization as
Beaton, was hoping to spend her day off working on her garden. Before
she got started, the mother of eight wanted to check in on her family.
Earlier that morning, O'Brien's daughter Darcy Dobson was awoken by
her husband with heartbreaking news: their friends Greg and Jamie
Blair had been shot and killed in Portapique. Her husband was Jamie's
cousin; their sons played hockey together.
"At that point, we weren't sure what had happened [in Portapique],"
Dobson said. "I got up at 5:30, made a cup of coffee and called my
mom."
Knowing her family was shaken by that news, O'Brien offered to swing
by with a round of coffees for her children and smiles for her 12
grandchildren. They all lived in a loop in Colchester County, close
enough that O'Brien could stop in for visits and the drinks would
still be delivered hot.
"She knew we were all kind of a little bit on edge about what was
happening in Portapique," Dobson told The Fifth Estate. "More than
anything she just kinda wanted to see us, make sure everybody was OK."
At this point, the only information the O'Brien family had was that
something was happening in Portapique and police were still there, so
she didn't think much of leaving her house more than 20 kilometres
away from the scene.
As she drove, she called a fellow nurse who lived on the opposite side
of Portapique. Since there was only one rural highway for her friend
to travel — the road that went through Portapique — and the RCMP had
part of it blocked off, O'Brien wanted to make sure her coworker could
still make it to her appointments.

Little did O'Brien know the gunman was heading her way, and she was
about to run into him on Plains Road in Debert.
She never made it to the coffee shop.
Not far away, after Kristen Beaton left for work, her husband Nick was
texting her updates of what was happening in Portapique.
"I'm thinking that ... it was like an isolated incident, that him and
family got into it," he said. “Not thinking that he's out targeting
innocent people."
The Beatons weren't worried, but were still being careful.
They chatted while she was pulled over on the side of Plains Road,
waiting for her next visit. As they spoke, Nick cautioned her not to
stop for anyone.
By this time, the RCMP had tweeted the name and a photo of their suspect.
"I just said, 'OK, I'm gonna go to his Facebook to find his picture
and send it to you just in case you see him to avoid him,' or what
have you," Nick Beaton said.
The photo was a smiling man in a ball cap. It was the last text
Kristen Beaton read. The man in the photo came across Beaton as she
was pulled over on the side of the road.
At that very same time, Heather O'Brien was heading down the same
road, talking to her colleague on the phone. She saw what she thought
was an RCMP car.

At 9:59 a.m., O'Brien heard gunshots. She sent a text message to her
kids in their family group chat:
RCMP.
Shots fired Debert.
It was likely the gunfire that killed Kristen Beaton.
"The coworker asked her where she was, and she said the RCMP was there
and at that point she had screamed," said Dobson.
The line dropped. Her friend frantically dialled 911.
"I think she probably felt safe [seeing the] RCMP car," Dobson said.
"If there's shots being fired in Debert, like at least the cops are
here."
O'Brien was killed by the gunman just a few hundred metres from Kristen Beaton.
When O'Brien and Beaton left their homes Sunday morning, they and
their families weren't aware that the gunman had fled Portapique — or
even that the situation was ongoing.

"It would have been after mom was killed that they posted he was
[nearby]," O'Brien's daughter Darcy Dobson said. "It was after she was
killed that they posted he was in an RCMP car."
About 15 minutes after O'Brien and Beaton were killed, Nova Scotia
RCMP tweeted their suspect could be dressed as a Mountie driving a
vehicle that was all but identical to an actual cruiser. It was 15
minutes too late for the two women. And it was nearly 12 hours after
the RCMP received that information.
"The [RCMP] had an opportunity to stop him before the people who died
on the 19th were killed," said Dobson. "They failed to give the public
the information they needed to stay safe."
"I've gone over and over and over again they didn't release that he
was dressed as an officer," Nick Beaton said.
He is adamant if they knew that information, his wife would be by his
side today.
"If the RCMP had've armed us with the information of who he was and
what they knew by 11 o'clock Saturday night ... she wouldn't have even
been on the road," he said.
"Me and many other blue nosers in Nova Scotia were sitting on their
front deck with their firearms protecting their family. And she'd have
been behind me, she'd have been safe."
In all, the RCMP would release 10 tweets over the 13-hour rampage —
releasing new tweets as they received information and sightings of the
gunman as he traversed Nova Scotia.
Sunday: 10:49 a.m.
As the RCMP were frantically trying to track down their suspect,
Const. Chad Morrison waited in his squad car to meet a colleague. By
then, police knew the gunman was on the move.
He and Const. Heidi Stevenson both worked out of Enfield, an hour's
drive from Portapique, and had been called to Colchester County to
help set up roadblocks. They agreed to meet at an intersection about
50 kilometres from Debert.
According to court documents, Morrison pulled up to an approaching
police car in Shubenacadie thinking it was Stevenson there to meet
him. It wasn't.
The gunman pulled out a handgun and started firing at Morrison. He was
shot in the arm, and managed to drive away — frantically pressing the
emergency alarm in his car as he sped off.

Meanwhile, less than 500 metres from where he struck Morrison, the
gunman spotted Stevenson. He turned to intercept her, veering both
cars into the guardrails of the ramp onto Highway 2 where they
collided.
They exchanged gunfire and Stevenson, a 23-year member of the force
and mother of two, was killed. The RCMP say Stevenson died a hero,
sacrificing her life to protect the people of Nova Scotia.
The gunman then killed Joey Webber, who stopped to help after seeing
the two crashed cruisers. The 36-year old father of two had been en
route to buy furnace oil, and like the many other victims was unaware
of any danger nearby.
The shooter stole Stevenson's police-issue pistol and lit the cruisers
on fire before taking off in Webber's SUV.
Sunday: 11:26 a.m.
Half an hour later, police finally stopped their suspect at a busy gas
station not far from Halifax's international airport.
He was driving a car stolen from his final victim, Gina Goulet. After
fleeing from where the two cruisers burned, Wortman killed Goulet in
her nearby home.
WATCH | Darcy Dobson says RCMP "failed" at providing information to
keep public safe:
Goulet was a denturist who had twice battled cancer. She loved salsa
dancing and fishing. Her beloved German Shepherd was shot but the dog
survived.
When the gunman stole her car, the gas tank was almost empty. He soon
headed to one of the area's busiest gas stations.
But as fate would have it, a member of the Emergency Response Team who
was en route to try and stop the gunman had also pulled into the Big
Stop in Enfield to get gas.
The RCMP officer recognized Wortman, and the gunman was shot and
killed. Police later found five guns in his vehicle.
At 11:26 a.m on Sunday, 13 hours after it began, the rampage had ended.
The aftermath
In the months since the tragedy, the RCMP has offered few answers for
families or the public. The force held five media conferences, the
last in early June. Media organizations, including the CBC, have gone
to court to try to gain access to search warrant documents.
In the early days after the shooting, RCMP said they had no files on
Wortman. But police documents obtained by the CBC reveal the
51-year-old wasn't a stranger to police.
He was convicted of assaulting a teen in 2001 and investigated for
threatening his parents in 2010.
The following year, Truro police received a tip that Wortman was
mentally unstable, had firearms and threatened to kill a cop. In 2013,
a neighbour in Portapique reported to police that Wortman was abusive
towards his partner and had illegal weapons. None of these incidents
resulted in charges and it's unclear to what extent police
investigated.
"How in the hell is he not a red flag?" said Heather O'Brien's
daughter Darcy Dobson. "It seems to me that a wealthy man with
charisma got away with doing whatever the hell he wanted."
In the months since losing his wife, Nick Beaton has embarked on his
own investigation, trying to piece together information about the
shooter and what happened over those 13 hours.
"I tried to sit back so I could heal, so I could deal with it, and I
can't," he said. "I need answers. There's too many questions, there's
too many things not answered."
WATCH | Nick Beaton says "if RCMP had armed us with the information
they had ... she'd have been safe":
In a meeting with investigators, he asked the Mounties to explain how
they reached the conclusion that their suspect was dead.
"They couldn't answer it, they were going to look into it and get back
to me," Beaton told The Fifth Estate. "I haven't heard nothing yet,
it's been months.
"I can lay here and bawl the rest of my life, which I know Kristen
wouldn't want, or fight."
Beaton is one of the named plaintiffs in the proposed class-action
lawsuit against Wortman's estate. The families are also suing the RCMP
and the province.
"We just want answers, we want the truth, full transparency," he said.
"We want the RCMP to say we messed up, we made mistakes here, here and
here we're learning from it and it's not going to happen again.
"It wasn't the men and women officers that day that I'm upset at, it's
the force in general, it's the top brass, it's the people making the
decisions."
He and other family members grew frustrated over the summer as calls
for a public inquiry went unanswered.
On the same day Beaton and Dobson led a march of family members to the
Bible Hill RCMP detachment in support of an inquiry, they learned the
federal and provincial justice ministers would announce an independent
review, but not the public inquiry they asked for.

Public outcry was swift and harsh, and within a week, federal Public
Safety Minister Bill Blair backtracked and said an inquiry would go
ahead. In October — days after the six-month anniversary of their
loved ones deaths — family members finally got a timeline.
"I have often said this, if it was myself or one of my sisters, my
brother, or my dad, [my mother] would have done everything I have done
and more," Dobson said. She knows her mother would have settled for
"nothing less than the truth."
"She would have demanded it, she'd have been worse than me," she said.
"Everybody says you know, I am out there — and I am loud ... they
would have been scared if she walked in the doors of that RCMP station
because she wouldn't have taken no for an answer on anything."
The inquiry's final report is due by Nov. 1, 2022. Until then,
families are left to grieve their loved ones without fully
understanding how they came to lose them so violently.
"I know as much now as I knew in April or May," Tyler Blair said.
"It's disgraceful.... We shouldn't have to fight and beg for answers."
With his parents gone, Blair now cares for his younger brothers and is
running the family business. Although he and his father had talked
about him taking it on eventually, it wasn't meant to happen this
soon, this way.
"I'm just doing what I should do — what my father would want me to do."
