The Nova Scotia shooter case has hallmarks of an undercover operation

The withdrawal of $475,000 in cash by the man who killed 22 Nova Scotians in April matches the method the RCMP uses to send money to confidential informants and agents, sources say.

Gabriel Wortman, who is responsible for the largest mass killing in Canadian history, withdrew the money from a Brink’s depot in Dartmouth, N.S., on March 30, stashing a carryall filled with hundred-dollar bills in the trunk of his car.

According to a source close to the police investigation the money came from CIBC Intria, a subsidiary of the chartered bank that handles currency transactions.

Sources in both banking and the RCMP say the transaction is consistent with how the RCMP funnels money to its confidential informants and agents, and is not an option available to private banking customers.

maybe the cops told him they’d protect him; they’d usher him into witness protection or something. the fact that he’s dead (and I’m assuming he is because I haven’t seen all the details) that works out well for the police.

And if they have RICO laws similar to the US, the cops kept the money.

Why do I immediately think of the Las Vegas mass shooting of a couple of years ago? Anyone else see the similarities?

If the Canadians complete their investigation and find nothing, that would be a similarity.

The FBI investigated the Vegas shooting and came up empty.

How that is possible I can not fathom. Unless they were ordered to do so.

Does Canada have a swamp?

Every nation has a swamp.

It is the inevitable product of the administrative part of government. The longer the government exist the large the administrative part of the government grows and so grows the power of those in the administrative offices of government.

The older the government gets the wider and deeper grow the channels of power and the more jealous of power those in the administrative offices become.

Two major errors in our history aggravated this process.

First was the Civil Service Act of 1883 that was supposed to replace the Spoils System of election winners replacing current government employees with political cronies with hiring employees on the basis of merit. What it really did was change for the spoils system to the nepotism system.

What the Civil Service act also did was permanently imbed lower level government employees in their jobs and permit them to grow their power base and form power networks.

The second mistake was when President John Kennedy permitted Federal Employees to form unions. This also made government jobs far more secure and permanent. Amplifying the ability of administrative employees to wield power they were never intended to have.
