About this listen
A shocking exposé of the deadliest killing spree in Canadian history, and how police tragically failed its victims and survivors.
As news broke of a killer rampaging across the tiny community of Portapique, Nova Scotia, late on April 18, 2020, details were oddly hard to come by. Who was the killer? Why was he not apprehended? What were police doing? How many were dead? And why was the gunman still on the loose the next morning and killing again? The RCMP was largely silent then, and continued to obscure the actions of denturist Gabriel Wortman after an officer shot and killed him at a gas station during a chance encounter.
Though retired as an investigative journalist and author, Paul Palango spent much of his career reporting on Canada’s troubled national police force. Watching the RCMP stumble through the Portapique massacre, only a few hours from his Nova Scotia home, Palango knew the story behind the headlines was more complicated and damning than anyone was willing to admit. With the COVID-19 lockdown sealing off the Maritimes, no journalist in the province knew the RCMP better than Palango did. Within a month, he was back in print and on the radio, peeling away the layers of this murderous episode as only he could, and unearthing the collision of failure and malfeasance that cost a quiet community 22 innocent lives.

This is more fiction and tinfoil hat department.
If there are people in a basement or cellar as us brits call it and they are on the phone talking to 999/911/112 and any other 3 digit number and they are talking to a member of staff who has knowledge of the whole operation and decide to keep the kids where they are as a loonie is driving around and shooting anyone is a decision well thought. If the horse police then know shooter is somewhere else and horsey nee~naw knows the adults can get to firehouse safely then pony police will tell them to get to the firehouse immediately.
And I really hope the Canadian Red Coat show horse police act like humans and don’t make decisions to help people by their criminal record LIKE THE AUTHOR IS SAYING IN THIS BOOK - CHAPTER 30 around 20 mins! If this was America then yes I agree they will go by Colour, Wealth, Sex, Race, Colour and I am sure they will just shoot anyone one who is not white anyway. Plus they deal with this daily.
This is just 1 part of one chapter, My review would be longer than this repetitive book.
This belongs in fiction as most of the info is coming from a high ranking, member, executive man who can’t be named….. probably because he has no name, mmmm I think it may be the same person who Trumps keeps saying the person thinks he’s doing a great job and deserves a Noble Peace Prize…. No you don’t Trumpski!
Do something better with your money, go and bet on a 3 legged horse.
My thoughts go to the families who are having to live with people who see a conspiracy because they have an issue with the RCMP.
That is a question somebody should ask them , do they now mount their cars or are they now just…… Royal Canadian Police? Or Police?
Hold my beer……….
