We found out late last night, the Parole Board of Canada is working with the families of Kristen French and Lesley Mahaffey to appear in person at Paul Bernardo's next parole hearing on Tuesday after earlier saying they could not do so related to security concerns. REACTION TO PM JUSTIN TRUDEAU ANNOUNCEMENT ON TEMPORARY HST + GST RELIEF Jane Brown is joined by Muhammad Ali, Liberal Strategist and a Vice President with Crestview Strategy in Ottawa and Tom Parkin, Publisher of the "Data Shows" newsletter. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced today that his government plans to temporarily lift the federal sales tax off a number of items just in time for Christmas and send 250 dollar cheques to some 18 million Canadians in the spring. The proposed affordability measures come ahead of the government's fall economic statement.
In ten days Paul Bernardo, convicted serial rapist, kidnapper and murderer of teenagers Kristen French, Leslie Mahaffy and Tammy Homolka will again appear before the Parole Board seeking release from prison. Earlier this year Kristen's father Doug French died at age 92. Bernardo will again sit in the same room as the parents/families of his victims making his case for freedom. Meanwhile, if Bernardo were to be released into the general population of a Canadian federal prison his life expectancy would be brief. Guest: Tim Danson.

Today's podcast: Today, some 11 days since Americans voted to return Donald Trump to the White House by a significant majority in what was expected to be a very close election, the president-elect's named cabinet officers list is generating both praise, scorn, and open concern, might we Canadians, exactly 1 year from today be dealing very recent and much unexpected federal election results of our own and what might such an unexpected federal election result have us facing? Meanwhile, former Liberal Deputy PM John Manley is advising a snap federal election now with a new Canadian federal government in place in time for Donald Trump's inauguration as U.S. President and able to challenge any Trump admin decisions potentially harmful to this country. Guest: Darrell Bricker. CEO. IPSOS Public Affairs There's no question that Taylor Swift is a music royalty and perhaps the single most successful music act ever (Bigger than the Beatles? Bigger than Elvis?) In Toronto, Swift is treated as royalty and a motorcade rivals what King Charles might experience. And who pays for this? And is it all necessary? Meanwhile, Swift's presence in Toronto adds some $282 million to the city's economy. While Taylor Swift still has concerts to perform in Toronto, she will then be in Vancouver from December 6 to 8, with the VPD preparing to add 700 officers to its rotation during the Tay Tay concerts. But about the bar set by Toronto. Guest: Joe Warmington. Columnist with The Toronto Sun.

The Ken And Barbie Killers [True Crime Documentary] Karla Homolka, 17, and Paul Bernardo, 23, better known as the Ken and Barbie Killers, first met in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada, in October 1987. Bernardo had already started his rape spree back in May. They were so drawn to each other that they had sex within hours of meeting. Two days before Christmas a year later, the couple drugged and assaulted Homolka's younger sister, Tammy, in the basement of her family's house. Homolka gave Bernardo this as a Christmas gift because she couldn't give him her virginity since she had lost it before they met. Tammy died by coughing on her own vomit as a result of the medication, but her death was considered an accident. Bernardo kidnapped and killed Leslie Mahaffy on June 15, 1991, and her dismembered body is discovered a few days later on June 29, 1991, the same day the killers marry. Kristen French, the third teenager, was kidnapped on April 16, 1992, and her nude body was discovered four days later on April 30th. She died as a result of strangulation. Bernardo was not charged with being the Scarborough rapist until February of 1993. More evidence linking the two of them to the murders was discovered, and Homolka agreed to a plea deal, and both of them are charged with the murders of the three girls. In June of 1993, Homolka was found guilty and sentenced to 12 years in prison. Homolka testified against Bernardo in court after the couple divorced in 1994. Bernardo was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison in 1995. Homolka is now out of prison and has three children. She and her second husband are currently residing in Quebec, after spending many years in the Caribbean following Homolka's release. Bernardo, meanwhile, has filed for parole in Toronto, Canada. At the same time, it was revealed that he was planning to marry a Toronto woman whom he had charmed through letters written in his cell. It's unclear if the wedding arrangements are still on.

Bernardo, 58, is serving a life sentence after being convicted in 1995 of the kidnapping, aggravated sexual assault and first-degree murder of two teenaged girls, and he was declared a dangerous offender. He's been transferred to La Macaza Institution, a medium-security prison in the Laurentians region of Quebec. Families of Paul Bernardo's victims demand killer's return to maximum security The government attempted to have the video removed, but Ontario Superior Court Justice David McCombs ruled that the entire 31-minute interview was valuable to the public. "The Internet is now an established extension of responsible media outlets' reporting," the judge ruled. Psychological Profile of Paul Bernardo: Paul Bernardo is a notorious Canadian serial killer and rapist who gained widespread media attention due to his heinous crimes committed in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Analyzing his behavior and statements, we can construct a psychological profile to understand his mindset and the factors that contributed to his ability to deceive interrogators. Psychopathy: Bernardo's behavior and lack of remorse indicate that he exhibits psychopathic traits. Psychopathy is characterized by a disregard for the rights and feelings of others, a lack of empathy, and manipulative tendencies. His ability to commit gruesome acts without showing signs of guilt or remorse suggests a significant deficit in emotional processing. Sexual Sadism: Bernardo's crimes involved sexual assault, rape, and murder, indicating a strong sadistic component to his personality. He derived pleasure from exerting power and control over his victims, engaging in acts of extreme violence and degradation. This sadistic tendency likely played a significant role in his motivation to commit these crimes. Narcissism: Bernardo's statement about his sexual insecurity and performance anxiety reveals a narcissistic viewpoint. He emphasizes his own needs and desires, portraying himself as the victim of his own sexual impulses rather than taking responsibility for the harm he inflicted on others. This self-centered perspective aligns with narcissistic traits commonly observed in psychopathic individuals. Deception and Manipulation: Bernardo's ability to lie to police interrogators is rooted in his psychopathic tendencies. Psychopaths are skilled manipulators and often possess a charming and persuasive demeanor that allows them to deceive others. Bernardo likely relied on his ability to manipulate and distort the truth to evade detection and maintain control over the situation. Criminal Sophistication: Bernardo's crimes were carefully planned and executed. He and his wife, Karla Homolka, worked together to abduct, rape, and murder their victims. The fact that they managed to commit these crimes without being apprehended for a significant period indicates a certain level of criminal sophistication. Bernardo's ability to maintain a double life and avoid suspicion is likely a result of his meticulous planning and ability to adapt his behavior to avoid detection. The events of Bernardo's crimes, particularly the abduction and murders of Leslie Mahaffy and Kristen French, shocked the public and continue to hold significant news value due to the controversial court proceedings and the nature of the crimes committed. Bernardo's psychological profile provides insight into the underlying factors that contributed to his ability to lie to police interrogators and manipulate others, shedding light on the disturbing mindset of a psychopathic serial killer.

This week join us for the second episode into the Ken and Barbie Killers - Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka.

This will be a three parter, as there is so much to cover and we wanted to do it justice, so it's a proper deep dive! It's really rough going - as anyone who knows the case will know, it is horrific. Paul and Karla were responsible for the deaths and torture of three teenager girls: Karla's own sister Tammy, as well as Leslie Mahaffy and Kristen French. Paul also committed a horrendous number of rapes as the Scarborough Rapist. Sadly in the end, justice isn't served, as only one of these monsters gets put away for life... Trigger Warning for this episode - there is a lot of rapes and sexual assaults covered from Paul's crimes as the Scarborough Rapist, which are particularly brutal in nature. There is also assaults on children mentioned.

The case of Paul Bernardo captured media and public attention in the mid-1990s at a time when the United States was focused on the O.J. Simpson case in a similar way. But Bernardo's trial, for the murders of teenagers Leslie Mahaffy and Kristen French, wasn't televised, so hundreds of people lined up to get inside the downtown Toronto courtroom to witness Canada's version of the O.J. trial. Others poured over the media coverage that blanketed newspapers or paid close attention to TV and radio stations which provided hourly updates of the proceedings. I was in the courtroom everyday for four months in the summer of 1995 as the horrific crimes against Bernardo were revealed including graphic videotaped evidence. On part two of our look back at the infamous case and trial of Paul Bernardo we dive into Canada's trial of the century.

If you Google most notorious killer in Canadian history, Paul Bernardo's name will appear at the top of nearly every list. There have been other killers who have taken more lives and eluded police over a longer period of time but the case of Paul Bernardo, at first as the Scarborough rapist and then later as the killer of Leslie Mahaffy and Kristen French, has left a deep and painful scar on Canadian society. His case captured media and public attention in the mid-1990s at a time when the United States was focused on the O.J. Simpson case in a similar way. But Bernardo's trial wasn't televised, so hundreds of people lined up to get inside the downtown Toronto courtroom to witness Canada's version of the O.J. trial. Others poured over the media coverage that blanketed newspapers or paid close attention to TV and radio stations which provided hourly updates of the proceedings. Over the next two episodes of History of the 90s, host Kathy Kenzora will recount the case, drawing from her experience covering the trial as a reporter for a Toronto radio station. A warning that this episode may not be suitable for young or sensitive listeners.

SUPPORT US ON PATREON - www.patreon.com/enterthedark Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka became known as The Ken and Barbie Killers, as they seemed like the perfect couple. However, behind the Ken and Barbie facade was a world of sexual depravity that resulted in the brutal rapes and deaths of Karla's 15 year old sister Tammy, 14 year old Leslie Mahaffey and 15 year old Kristen French. Paul Bernado was also known as The Scarborough Rapist, as he would also commit brutal rapes in the Scarborough area, which was encouraged by Homolka. Bernardo's luck would run out after he beat Holmolka and Police caught up to his rapes. Holmolka manipulated the Canadian Government into giving her a light sentence in order to testify against Bernardo, leading to what many have described as the worst deal in Canadian legal history.

This week, Drewby and Yergy discuss Paul Bernardo and his wife Karla Homolka, a seemingly unlikely pair of Canadian killers. Known as the “Ken and Barbie Killers” for their good looks, the young couple induced fear throughout southern Ontario in the 1990s with a string of sex attacks and killed at least three minors between 1990 and 1992 before they were arrested. Bernardo is known for initially committing a series of rapes in Scarborough, Ontario, a suburb of Toronto, between 1987 and 1990. While he was at large, he was dubbed "The Scarborough Rapist" and these went unsolved for over five years until his capture. Homolka attracted worldwide media attention when she was convicted of manslaughter following a plea bargain to serve only 12 years in the rape-murders of two Ontario teenage girls, Leslie Mahaffy and Kristen French, as well as the rape and killing of her sister Tammy. Homolka and Bernardo were arrested in 1993. Bernardo was convicted of what became known as the Schoolgirl Murders and received life imprisonment. Homolka stated to investigators that Bernardo had abused her and that she had been an unwilling accomplice to the murders. As a result, she struck a deal with prosecutors for a reduced prison sentence of twelve years in exchange for a guilty plea to the charge of manslaughter. However, videotapes of the crimes surfaced after the plea bargain and demonstrated that Homolka was a more active participant than she had claimed. Public outrage about Homolka's plea deal continued until her high-profile release from prison in 2005. Following her release from prison, Homolka settled in the province of Quebec, where she married Thierry Bordelais, the brother of her lawyer Sylvia Bordelais. She briefly lived in the Antilles and Guadeloupe but by 2014 had returned to Quebec.

On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we investigate a Canadian true crime and bring you the horrible tale of the Ken and Barbie Killers. Paul Bernardo and his wife Karla Homolka are household names in Canada, where the committed their crimes, but they may not be well known where you are. In short, Bernardo was a prolific rapist, and Homolka was fine with it once she became his bride. In fact, she helped scout victims, including her own sister, and eventually helped him graduate to murder. Bernardo was born to an upper middle class family, but he had a father who abused his family and raped his daughter. His mother who retreated from family life and moved to the basement. Eventually, Bernardo learned he was an illegitimate son, and he started to hate his mother and call her a whore. Maybe this is where the schism started in his brain. Bernardo began to learn how to be a good salesperson, manipulate people, and pick up women. He studied American Psycho as his bible. He went to college and eventually began a raping spree that dubbed him the Scarborough Rapist, with potentially as many as 30 victims according to some. In the middle of all this raping, he met Homolka, and she was down with his sickness. They were both blonde and lived what seemed a perfect life on the outside (hence the Ken and Barbie moniker). But they were both equally perverted and monstrous. Eventually, raping random girls wasn’t enough, so Homolka met a teenaged friend who she worked with and brought her home as a wedding gift to Bernardo. They drugged her, raped her, filmed it all. Two times. The second time, she almost died, but they revived her, and she had no memories since she was so deeply drugged. On Christmas, Homolka decided that Bernardo would get her younger sister Tammy (15 years old) as a Christmas Present. Bernardo used to sneak into her room and masturbate while she slept, so she was the perfect gift. This time, however, their drug cocktail was too strong, and Tammy died. The dressed her and put her back in bed and called the cops. It was December 23rd, just in time for family Christmas. From there, the rapes kept going, and they kept taping it all. They added another victim to their list of abducted, raped, and murdered, a 14 year old girl named Leslie Mahaffy, followed by the 15 year old Kristen French. But hey, nothing’s perfect. Eventually, Bernardo beat Homolka with a flash light, and things went sideways. Homolka told her family that the two of them were the killers, and just as police were getting close anyway, the arrests were made. Homolka famously made a plea deal that spared her 12 years of a sentence, though many argue it was a bogus deal because she didn’t really add anything and was so utterly unrepentant in the police videos So, what happened to them in jail? What type of love affair did Homolka have with two people in prison? What is her family life like now that she’s been released? Listen, laugh, learn.
