The community of Portapique has officially opened a new special trail located right next to their community centre. The trail was created in partnership with multimedia artist Holly Carr. It's an extension of her book, "The Comfort Tree", which is a story about a variety of forest animals and birds finding comfort around a tree through all four seasons. As you walk along the trail, you find panels depicting scenes from the book. Host Jeff Douglas went to the community of Portapique to see it, and check in with some community members. The first voice you'll hear is Holly Carr, taking him on a tour of the trail itself.

This week, I examine several cases involving juries, Jeremy MacKenzie's efforts to have his NS charges dismissed, the expanding scope of video testimony, and justice spending in the new federal budget. First, on the 4th anniversary of the Portapique shootings, the NS Minister of Justice has resigned after his comments on domestic violence not being an 'epidemic'. I discuss those comments, as well as the lack of apparent effort on the Government's part to make the changes to domestic violence policy that the MCC recommended. I also briefly discuss the first dog to be subject to a custody order (in BC), and a Saskatchewan father convicted of violating a custody order when he tried to keep his daughter from getting the Covid-19 vaccine.

On the cold spring morning of April 19, 2020, a woman staggered from the woods outside Portapique Nova Scotia. Her bare feet were blackened from running through the woods, and she was covered in scrapes and bruises. She hammered on the door of a neighbor, who let her inside and called 911. She told police something had finally snapped in her abusive common-law partner Gabriel Wortman. But by the time she made that phone call, he'd already murdered 13 people and his rampage was far from over.

In 2020 the world was dealing with Covid. But in Nova Scotia, Canada, another event took place that defined the year, the deadliest mass shooting in Canadian history. Over two days, April 18th and 19th, Gabriel Worman killed 22 people. He started by killing 13 people in Portapique, N.S. and by burning down several houses, including his own. The next day his rampage continued. Altogether, twenty two people died. The province is home to about a million people. With such a small population, people were shaken and stunned. Many knew one of the victims. Mental health was suddenly a top topic. The combination of events in 2020 led Karen Dean to reach out to her neighbors to chronicle the year.

Poor communication, a victim treated as a suspect and a police force that was unprepared — these are some conclusions about the RCMP's handling of Canada's deadliest mass shooting. Today's guest, Angela MacIvor, an investigative journalist with CBC Nova Scotia, talks about how more than half of the commission's 130 recommendations focus on the RCMP, and asks whether the force will be forced to implement real change. For transcripts of this series, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

The inquiry into Canada's worst mass shooting has ended with the release of its final report. The 3,000 page document condemns the RCMP in how the police force responded to the tragedy where 22 people were killed in Portapique, Nova Scotia, in April 2020. A number of recommendations call for a complete overhaul of Canada's federal police force in the hopes that a tragedy like this never happens again.The Globe's Lindsay Jones is a reporter at the Atlantic bureau who was there as the final report was released to survivors, family and community members as well as government and police officials. She joins the podcast to share the main takeaways from the report and whether the RCMP will take these recommendations seriously.Questions? Comments? Ideas? Email us at thedecibel@globeandmail.com

For nearly three years, Nova Scotians have been waiting for answers surrounding the 2020 mass shootings in Portapique. On Thursday, they got some of them from a long-awaited public inquiry's report. Matt Galloway speaks with Darcy Dobson, whose mother, Heather O'Brien, was killed that day; and Michael Scott, a lawyer representing Dobson and others who lost family members in the attacks.

The Mass Casualty Commission will publish its final report Thursday, after an inquiry into the 2020 mass shooting that left 22 people dead in Nova Scotia. We visit Portapique, N.S., where a new community hall is under construction; and Matt Galloway speaks with grief specialist Serena Lewis, about the long-term supports that the community might need.

I am joined by Sam King. Sam is a Clinical Social worker, Registered Nurse and a Pyscho Therapist at the Operational Stress Injury Clinic in Nova Scotia. Many First Responders wonder if the Operational Stress Injury Clinic is the right fit for them and their occupational stress injury journey with work. Sam opens up and talks about some of the amazing aspects of therapy and supports they offer to our men and women who serve! Sam paints an incredibly clear picture as to how supportive OSI really is and how it has helped many manage to move beyond PTSD and focus on growth. We discuss at length how the OSI clinic can help you and others! We also discuss the importance of recognizing and understanding your childhood trauma. This is often times a large motivating factor for people to get into Law Enforcement or First Responder work. Sam also experienced the very real impacts of the tragedy that struck Portapique, Nova Scotia in April of 2020. She recounts how much this impacted the community, its members and everyone invested in supporting one another not only during the event but afterwards as well. Join us as the conversation continues!

In the weeks following the 2020 killings of 22 people in Portapique, Nova Scotia — the deadliest shooting rampage in Canadian history — the federal government began introducing steps to limit the types of guns people can own and use. There were orders in council, which began with a list of more than 1,500 firearms, before more were added, and later a piece of proposed gun control legislation, Bill C-21. That bill had two readings in the House of Commons, before a major 478-page amendment was added. The changes have drawn more criticism to what was already a contentious bill, as some question whether it's too broad and will affect too many types of guns. On today's episode, we're joined by Kieran Oudshoorn, a producer with CBC's audio documentary unit, to walk through Liberal government's plans for gun control.

Thirty-three years ago, 14 young women were murdered and 13 others were wounded in the École Polytechnique tragedy. Hear why Kristina Fifield, with the Avalon Sexual Assault Centre, says as we remember those women we should also be thinking about the Portapique tragedy.

This episode features guests Paul Palango and Adam Rodgers. Our conversation covers; the death of Portapique survivor and past Nighttime guest Leon Joudrey the recently announced lawsuit Lisa Banfield filed against the RCMP for malicious prosecution the Mass Casualty Commision's release of what many people are referring to as victim impact statements.

CBC's Blair Rhodes tells us about a highly anticipated witness who is scheduled to testify at the Mass Casualty Commission this week.

In this week's episode, we're talking to Lauren Villagran, who generally covers border issues for the El Paso Times. But she recently crossed a different border — the U.S./Canadian border — to take on an issue that is near and dear to the hearts of El Pasoans and fronterizos. Lauren traveled to Portapique, Nova Scotia, where, one night in April 2020, “in the time it took for the Bay of Fundy's high tide to drain into the Atlantic and swell back up again to the wooded coast,” as Lauren wrote, “a deranged man gunned down 22 people in their homes and on the street, in Portapique and the idyllic communities that line the west shore.” As Lauren notes, there were echoes of El Paso's Aug. 3, 2019, mass shooting tragedy nine months earlier: the same number of initial victims, a shooter with easy access in the U.S. to "assault-style" firearms, a hashtag ending in "strong." But Canada's response was much different from those in Texas and across the United States. Lauren was kind enough to join us this week to discuss her trip, and her reporting.

Warning: This podcast contains graphic content Guest: Farrah Khan, manager of Consent Comes First at Toronto Metropolitan University The inquiry into Canada's worst mass shooting has put a spotlight on how survivors of intimate partner violence often face anger and backlash. After Lisa Banfield was brutally assaulted and held captive by her common-law husband one night in April 2020, 22 people were killed as he went on a murderous shooting rampage. Countless people were impacted by devastating trauma, pain and anger as a result of the gunman's actions, and Banfield was put under a harsh spotlight. Gender rights advocates say Banfield was unfairly criminalized, criticized and accused of abetting the shooter, and her own trauma as a victim of abuse was never acknowledged. There are now concerns the reception to Banfield will deter other women from reporting abuse. This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Brian Bradley and Matthew Hearn

The Liberal government faced tough questions this session on everything from accusations they pressured RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki on the Portapique investigation, to their decision to invoke the Emergencies Act in the winter, to inflation. Today, CBC Parliamentary Bureau senior writer Aaron Wherry explains why those questions won't just disappear over the summer, and why the Liberals are “arguably in as difficult a stage as it has maybe ever been, which is a funny thing to say for a government that's been through some pretty major crises.”

You will no doubt be shocked to learn that the federal liberal government may have tried to politically influence an agency that should be independent. Who would have thought? Evidence released at an inquiry into the Portapique massacre seems to indicate that government officials the RCMP commissioner to release information about a weapon used by the shooter.We don't know yet if the request came from the government, or the commissioner herself. We don't know yet if the Prime Minister or Public Safety Minister were personally involved. But what do we know? What needs to happen next? And will this divert attention away from an incredibly important inquiry into the worst mass shooting in Canadian history?GUEST: Stephen Maher, Nova Scotian journalist and novelist, writing in The Line

The Liberals and RCMP commissioner Brenda Lucki are denying they colluded to release have the RCMP release information about their investigation into the Portapique, Nova Scotia massacre to support the government's gun control efforts, despite a report from the inquiry into the shooting revealing that Lucki promised Bill Blair and the Prime Minister's Office that the police would do exactly what.

In short? That it was a huge mess. But that's not enough. An inquiry is trying to get to the bottom of the police response to the worst mass shooting in Canadian history, and around every corner seems to lurk a new detail about delays, misinformation, too many commanding officers and, above all, inaction.As Canadians learned in horror how police in Uvalde, Texas stood by while a shooter was murdering children in a school, they didn't have to look hard for a Canadian example of how utterly a response to a gunman can be botched. So what are the details? What do we still have to learn? And will there be any change, consequences or closure?GUEST: Greg Mercer, Atlantic Canada reporter, The Globe and Mail

In 2020, bucolic Portapique, Nova Scotia was the epicenter of a gruesome rampage that would take 22 lives in 13 hours, making it the largest mass murder in Canadian modern history.

Startling revelations have come out of the Mass Casualty Commission hearings. Testimony revealed RCMP did not follow up on reports the gunman owned illegal firearms, and that RCMP needed better technology to catch the mass shooter. Criminologist Kevin Walby shares his thoughts.

The inquiry into the deadliest mass shooting in Canada's history continues this week. Two years ago, a gunman dressed as an RCMP officer burned down houses and killed 22 people in Nova Scotia. CBC reporter Elizabeth McMillan explains how tracing the story of how the Portapique gunman got his weapons brought her to Houlton, Maine. And retired U.S. federal prosecutor Margaret Groban talks about how Maine is considered a source state for guns.

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. 22 MURDERS: Investigating the Massacres, Cover-up and Obstacles to Justice in Nova Scotia-Part 2-Paul Palango

It's the worst mass killing in Canadian history, and there are hundreds of questions still unanswered almost two years later. A public inquiry into the Portapique shootings is happening right now, and the early answers to some of those questions are disturbing. What more will we learn about how many lives could have been saved? Will RCMP officers actually agree to testify at all? And what about the killer's rumoured connections to the RCMP itself?How much of this mystery will we unravel? And how bad will it get?GUEST: Greg Mercer, Atlantic Canada reporter, The Globe and Mail
