Highway 16 in northern British Columbia looks, at first glance, like any other remote road: mountains, forests, rivers, small towns, and long stretches of empty pavement. But for decades, this corridor became known by a much darker name — the Highway of Tears.This episode of Terrifying & True investigates the real history behind one of Canada's most devastating true crime cases: the disappearances and murders of women and girls along Highway 16 and nearby routes, many of them Indigenous. Officially, the RCMP's Project E-PANA includes eighteen cases, but families, advocates, and Indigenous organizations have long argued that the true number may be higher.We examine the victims, the isolated geography, the lack of safe transportation, the failures of policing and media attention, and the systemic conditions that allowed danger to persist for decades. This is not a story about one cursed road or one simple explanation. It is a story about grief, survival, ignored warnings, and families who refused to let their loved ones disappear from memory.The Highway of Tears remains one of the most haunting examples of how true crime can expose something larger than a single mystery: a pattern of violence, silence, and systemic failure that continues to demand answers.We're telling that story tonight.
Jerry Agar explores why social media bans may miss the mark when it comes to protecting young people, highlighting perspectives from youth on what actually improves online safety. Listeners weigh in on parenting ambition, debating whether pushing kids toward stardom—sparked by reflections on Taylor Swift’s success—can do more harm than good, especially for other children. The conversation then shifts to identity and perception in Toronto, as former CSIS and RCMP undercover operative Mubin Shaikh discusses the complexities of being brown in Canada amid heightened tensions following a high-profile police killing. The hour wraps with author and business leader Rocco Rossi, who shares insights from his novel Finding Grace, a story about grief, personal growth, and the search for human connection.
Karen Tessier was 57 years old when she was last seen on July 9th, 2024, in Fort Nelson, British Columbia. Five days later her vehicle was found burned in a remote area outside of town. She has not been found. No arrest has been made.In this episode we speak with Karen's mother Elizabeth, an elder of Fort Nelson First Nation, and with Connie, a community member who spent months searching for Karen and her dog Soma. Their accounts form the backbone of this episode.The RCMP North District Major Crime Unit is treating Karen's disappearance as highly suspicious and believes members of the community have information they have not shared. Fort Nelson First Nation is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to a significant development in the case.If you have information, call the dedicated RCMP tip line at 250-561-8888.

In episode 251 of the Transition Drill Podcast, explores identity, resilience, and rebuilding after public scrutiny for veterans and first responders navigating career disruption, reputation loss, and life after service. You'll hear Kwesi Millington on what happens when one moment changes everything, and what it takes to rebuild purpose, identity, and a future when the career you expected disappears.Former RCMP officer and now resilience keynote speaker Kwesi Millington shares a story that starts far before policing and goes far beyond the incident that made international headlines.Raised in Toronto by a single mother after emigrating from Trinidad and Tobago, Kwesi describes a childhood that was ordinary by his standards. No clear career calling. No lifelong dream of becoming a police officer. He moved through school, completed a Bachelor of Commerce with a focus in finance, worked office and government jobs, and felt disconnected from the life he imagined for himself. Then one moment changed direction. Watching a police officer while walking a strike line, he realized he wanted work that put him outside, serving people and doing something that felt meaningful.That decision led him into the RCMP. He trained in Regina, Saskatchewan, entered frontline policing in British Columbia, and expected to build a long career. Instead, only a few years into service, a call at Vancouver International Airport became the defining event of his life. Kwesi walks through that night, the death that followed, the public reaction, the viral footage, internal conflict, investigations, public inquiry, and the long legal aftermath that eventually ended his policing career.But this conversation doesn't stop there.Kwesi talks openly about moral injury, accountability, identity collapse, incarceration, and the reality of trying to re-enter society carrying a criminal record and public history. He reflects on the jobs that never called back, rebuilding through personal training, and discovering that growth sometimes starts where status ends.What emerged next wasn't a return to who he was. Through fitness, Toastmasters, communication, and years of rebuilding, Kwesi found a different mission. Today he speaks to audiences on resilience, mindset, accountability, and navigating life after adversity.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND Collective: Premium, veteran-owned sportswear built for those who show up, outwork the excuses, and give 100%.

The RCMP is piloting an AI program called Draft One (by Axon) in Alberta and BC detachments to automatically write police reports from body camera audio, covering everything except major crimes like murder. The FIFA World Cup is now only a couple days away from taking over Vancouver. What can people expect to see? Metro Vancouver implemented Stage 3 water restrictions today due to hot/dry weather, a major supply pipe being offline for repairs, low snowpack, and higher-than-normal water usage.

This week we are excited to welcome Ryan McMahon, the podcaster and documentarian behind the Crave hit "Thunder Bay", a 4-part story that follows McMahon as he re-investigates nine murders that were subject to official Police Review and Civilian Police Commission investigation reports. McMahon discusses his evolution from stand-up comedian to documentary storyteller, and has some advice for Paul on how to use what he has learned to tell the story of the NS mass shooting controversies. Also covered this week, - Carter Hart is out of court and leading his team in the Stanley Cup finals, where he is hearing it from the Carolina fans- the murder of Henry Nowak in England is generating discussions there and here about politicization of the police- the RCMP descended on the small town of Rogersville, NB but did not tell anyone why- St. Mary's University is conducting a study on the use of video in Court. Adam was interviewed this week by one of the professors leading the effort
A fatal shooting in Pelican Narrows this week left one woman dead and another person seriously injured. It comes as leaders and the RCMP raise concerns about escalating violence in the north, with violent crime in the Pelican Narrows area up 49 per cent over the past decade and renewed calls for additional support and resources. Joining the show to talk about this is Michael Weger, Saskatchewan's Minister of Community Safety.
After guiding Surrey's transition away from the RCMP and helping build a municipal police force from the ground up, Chief Constable Norm Lipinski is out. Why was he let go so suddenly? As the May 2026 target date for interprovincial alcohol reform passes, BC winery owner Ron Kubek is calling on provincial governments to stop negotiating new fee structures and instead create a true National VQA Market for Canadian wine.

Our lead story: RCMP in northeast Saskatchewan say a suspect is now in custody following a double shooting in Pelican Narrows, but say charges have yet to be laid.
In April of 2020, while the rest of the world fixated on the terrifying early days of the Covid pandemic, a 51-year-old denturist in rural Nova Scotia launched one of the deadliest mass shootings in North American history — murdering 22 people across 13 horrifying hours while disguised as a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer. We dive deep into the shocking failures, bizarre details, and devastating human stories behind these attacks: a case involving fake police cars, burning homes, biker gang rumors, domestic violence, smuggling, and a law enforcement response so chaotic it still fuels outrage and conspiracy theories years later.

This week, we welcome former RCMP officer, Cathy Mansley, to the show. Cathy has been the driving force behind two class action lawsuits against the RCMP, and made the complaint that lead to the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission report on the death of Susan Butlin.Also discussed, the reaction to last week's story on the death by suicide of Clinton Ellision, including media coverage of the situation. We also go in depth on the case of Eric Thibault, who is alleged to be a mob boss-style figure in the lobster fishery in Southwest NS. This week, he had multiple charges dropped after it was discovered that none of the eight witnesses (including three RCMP officers) had been subpoenaed for the trial.

The missing notes of a retired senior B.C. Mountie that were supposed to be part of an OPP investigation into the behaviour of top RCMP brass in the wake of a tasering death at Vancouver’s airport years ago have turned up in the national police force’s B.C. headquarters; shovels are in the ground at the new Ontario Science Centre, which the province calls a ‘major milestone’ in its Ontario Place overhaul; and, the city of Toronto is digging through its vault for old parking tickets, and they want drivers to pay up.
This week we discuss the tragic death of Clinton Ellison, as well as the report from the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP on the RCMP's botched investigation into the sexual assault complaint of Susan Butlin.Clinton Ellison was the brother of Corrie Ellison, who was killed on April 18, 2020 in Portapique, during the NS mass shooting. There have always been questions about who actually killed Ellison, and Clinton had claimed that the RCMP was responsible. He never waivered from that stance. This week, Clinton Ellison killed himself in Fredericton. We discuss his pursuit of the truth, and share some messages that he exchanged with Paul in the weeks leading up to his death.Also this week, the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP released a report authored by the highly respected Brent Cotter, which showed the many ways that the RCMP failed to properly investigate the complaints of Susan Bultin, who was eventually murdered by her neighbour, Ernie "Junior" Duggan, who is now spending life in jail for her murder.

In the latest episode of The Line Podcast, Matt Gurney and Jen Gerson devote the first segment to a full catch-up on the increasingly wild situation unfolding in Alberta. Jen is furious, arguing that five million people — and indeed the entire country — are now being dragged through this largely because Danielle Smith is trying to save her political career. She's equally angry at parts of the political right that, in her view, are repeating the mistakes the left made during the peak of woke politics: refusing to challenge allies and friends when things start getting out of control. Still, both hosts agree that now that the fight is fully underway, the issues can at least finally be debated openly. Jen states plainly, with Matt's agreement, that The Line holds an explicitly federalist position. You've been warned.This episode of The Line Podcast is brought to you by Electro-Federation Canada. Canada's clean electricity grid gives us a competitive edge in attracting global investment — but to maintain that advantage our system needs to break down barriers and unlock the grid. Aging infrastructure, supply chain constraints, and outdated regulations threaten our ability to expand and modernize the grid — essential components of meeting future capacity needs. Electro-Federation Canada has developed a research-backed roadmap for grid readiness focused on smart policy and regulatory alignment. To learn more, visit MakeTheSwitch.ElectroFed.com.In the second segment, the hosts discuss some of the major personalities shaping events, including Smith, Naheed Nenshi, Jason Kenney, and Pierre Poilievre. Jen also flags a particular political group that listeners should keep an eye on. Matt spends part of the segment stress-testing two of Jen's arguments, offering an interpretation of Smith's conduct that could potentially prove constructive, and sketching out a possible good-news scenario that Jen reluctantly entertains. He doesn't think he sold her.This episode of The Line Podcast is also brought to you by Dominion Dynamics. Canada has never had true sovereign awareness of our North. Vast parts of our country are a blind spot. And when you can't see your own territory, you can't defend it, secure it, or respond when threats emerge. Dominion Dynamics is changing that. Dominion Dynamics is building a sovereign command and control capability that lets Canada and its allies see, respond, and defend across every domain. Dominion is starting in the Arctic, where extreme conditions demand technology no one else can deliver.Defend the Dominion. Dominion Dynamics.Learn more at DefendTheDominion.com.To close, your hosts briefly revisit last week's CBC controversy, which has only become worse as additional targets — including retired RCMP officers — have emerged. The CBC says it has halted funding and launched a review, but neither host believes that will resolve the problem. Both agree that media organizations tend to forget everything they know about how the media works the moment they become the story themselves. Speaking of institutional trouble, Matt closes by asking, only half jokingly, whether the CRTC could perhaps avoid declaring war on the United States for at least the next month or so. If it's not too much trouble.All that and more on the latest episode of The Line Podcast.

In this episode of The Wheeler and Tyler Podcast, Dave Wheeler and Tyler Carr tackle a truly wild Friday lineup, anchored by a bizarre local sports emergency: a Kane County Cougars tour bus was completely torched and destroyed right outside Winnipeg's Goldeyes stadium, allegedly by a 15-year-old arsonist. The guys unpack the madness and dive straight into the subtitle of the day, "The Wheels on The Bus Are Burnt." The tech and media blunders don't stop there. The duo laughs through a massive UK radio station glitch that accidentally announced the death of King Charles, only for the station to double down on the mistake by posting a heavily criticized AI-generated apology. They also discuss a viral, hard-hitting anti-AI advertisement taking Toronto by storm, Christopher Nolan's shocking revelation that he has never used email or owned a smartphone, and a Tennessee man who just won a massive $835,000 settlement after being wrongfully jailed over internet memes. From local updates like MPI's "Road Safety Strategy 2030" and a new RCMP mass emergency notification pilot project, to the latest sports recap—including the Montreal Canadiens stopping Carolina's win streak, Mark Scheifele's hat trick for Team Canada, and a rough night for the Goldeyes—this episode wraps up the week with pure, unadulterated Friday energy.

Experts are calling it the largest data breach in Canadian history, sparking fears for the safety of all Canadians - everyone from public figures to victims of domestic abuse. Both the RCMP and Elections Alberta are investigating after Elections Alberta said a pro-separation group had un-authorized access to a separatist party's copy of the electors list - containing the personal information of nearly three million Albertans, including their address. Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to political strategist, Zain Velji to discuss how the group got a hold of the electors list, the political fallout across the country, and why economic moves from the PM's office fall short of actually deterring the separatist movement.

Almost exactly a year ago, six-year-old Lilly Sullivan and her four-year-old brother, Jack allegedly wandered into the woods near their family's home north of Halifax and never returned, leaving few clues as to what happened to them. The RCMP has since kept the details of the investigation tight-lipped, leaving the community, media and the country at large with more questions as time goes on. Host Caryn Ceolin speaks with Natasha O'Neill, web editor for CityNews Halifax, about what we know-- and don't know-- to this day.

This week I'm talking about the Shag Harbour UFO Incident On the night of October 4, 1967, the quiet fishing village of Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia, became the centre of one of Canada's most compelling UFO cases. Multiple witnesses saw a set of bright lights moving low across the sky before appearing to descend and strike the water offshore. Believing they had witnessed an aircraft crash, local resident Laurie Wickens contacted the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. What followed makes the Shag Harbour incident stand apart from many UFO reports. RCMP officers responded, local fishermen took boats out to search for survivors, and the Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax checked for missing aircraft. No commercial, private or military plane could be connected to the event. There was no wreckage, no bodies, no debris field and no ordinary crash site. The case soon drew in Canadian military authorities. The Royal Canadian Air Force became involved through official reporting channels, and Navy divers from Fleet Diving Unit Atlantic searched the seabed near the reported impact area. Despite the seriousness of the response, no conventional explanation was found. In this episode, I revisit the events of that October night: the witnesses who saw the lights, the police response, the search on the water, and the military investigation that followed. I also look at why Shag Harbour has endured as one of the strongest UFO cases in Canadian history. Unlike many sightings, this one began as an emergency call, involved official agencies from the start, and left behind a record of unanswered questions. More than half a century later, the mystery remains. What entered the waters off Shag Harbour that night? Why was no aircraft ever found? And why does this quiet Nova Scotian harbour still hold such an important place in the history of unidentified aerial phenomena? https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/ https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcast https://simonbown.com/ My new book, Aspects of Alien Abduction https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9Y Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Episode: 00314 Released on April 13, 2026 Description: In this episode of Analyst Talk with Jason Elder, recently retired RCMP analyst Robert Aboumitri shares insights from a 24 year career that helped shape modern communications data analysis including analyzing 46 billion call detail records in a landmark international investigation. A certified expert witness in communications data analysis and geospatial analysis, with 24 years of RCMP experience and international investigative work, Robert brings a unique perspective to the evolution of intelligence work. From pioneering cell site analysis to building specialized analytical units and training analysts worldwide, he breaks down the Triple V of modern data, volume which refers to the massive amounts of data being created, variety which reflects the many different formats and sources of data, and velocity which captures the speed at which data is generated and must be processed. He further discusses the growing role of technical skills and the realities of managing analysts while reminding us that behind every dataset are real people impacted by the work.
Host Jeff opens this Good Friday episode with a blend of faith, personal stories, and hard-hitting analysis. The show begins with the regular Word on Word segment — comparing Psalm 145:18 and Romans 5:6–8 — before moving into a personal anecdote about music smuggling in Iran that inspired the opening song "Rock the Cash Bar." This sets the tone for a program focused on cultural conflict, censorship, and the human cost behind geopolitical headlines. The bulk of the episode examines recent political and financial developments. Jeff reads and decodes Donald Trump's Truth Social post and a current Trump clip about Iran, nuclear risk, and high‑level geopolitical "chess." He connects those statements to broader themes: the petrodollar, sanctions, rising oil prices, and how global debt-holders (China, Japan, India, U.K., etc.) could react in a crisis. Marco Rubio's warning about future limits on sanctions and the global move toward digital currencies prompt a deeper dive into what a digital, asset-backed U.S. stablecoin might mean. Jeff outlines the so-called "Genius Act" and his theory that a future policy could put citizens' collective assets onto a ledger to offset national debt — a move he frames as both a possible rescue for the financial system and a pathway to technocratic control. He ties this scenario into concerns about public‑private partnerships, digital wallets, rewards apps, and the erosion of financial privacy and autonomy, warning of a transition to a single digital currency and greater centralization. Interwoven are other news threads Jeff flags for listeners: legal claims involving the Toronto Star and alleged RCMP disclosures about Justin Trudeau, ongoing Melania/Epstein reporting, Artemis moon coverage, and hints at forthcoming UFO/space narratives. He also reflects on theology and eschatology, discussing AI's role in a possible end‑times technocracy and how biblical prophecy factors into his worldview. Practical takeaways and preparedness advice are emphasized: reduce or eliminate personal debt, prioritize hard assets (gold, silver, even land with water or timber), consider physical improvements to owned homes, and keep some cash for short‑term needs. Jeff urges skepticism about the stock market and highlights resource ownership as a hedge against inflation and digital controls, while stressing the importance of community, faith, and prayer (including a Saturday prayer session and a Sunday sermon link). This is a solo episode with host Jeff — a mix of commentary, theory, spiritual reflection, and actionable suggestions. Listeners can expect political decoding, financial hypotheses about a ledger-based stablecoin system, biblical framing of contemporary events, and concrete recommendations for protecting assets in an increasingly digital, centralized world.

The Public Safety Minister just promised 1,000 new RCMP officers. The Auditor General just tabled a report saying the force is short 3,400 — and can't process the 46,000 people who already applied. This isn't a plan. It's a press release. We break down the actual numbers: vacancy rates above critical thresholds in 9 of 11 provinces, a 330-day application backlog, recruiting analyst positions sitting half-empty, and a bureaucratic system that's eating itself alive. Rural Saskatchewan. The Northwest Territories. Your community. This is what it looks like when the system fails quietly.

What's it really like to work as a Peace Officer in Alberta, Canada? In this episode, Steve sits down with Brad Larsen, a veteran CPO who has served since 2014, to break down the major differences between Canadian policing and U.S. policing — from authority levels to training, to why peace officers aren't armed, and how they work alongside the RCMP. Brad shares unfiltered stories from the road, including bizarre bylaw calls, intense foot chases, dangerous encounters, and the time suspects stole his patrol truck during a fight outside a hockey arena. He also talks about animal enforcement, impaired driving laws, provincial authority, and what it's like policing vast rural areas in Alberta. If you're curious about Canadian law enforcement, the Peace Officer Act, or the realities of rural policing, this episode delivers a rare inside look at a profession most people outside Canada have never heard of.
