What cops ‘covered up' about the Nova Scotia massacre: Full Comment podcast
There are many lingering questions about the two-day killing spree by Gabriel Wortman that killed 22 people in Nova Scotia in 2020, even after a joint federal/provincial commission wrapped up its inquiry. Investigative journalist Paul Palango joins Brian Lilley to discuss why he thinks all signs point to the RCMP covering up that Wortman was working undercover for them before his rampage, as he exposes in his new book, 'Anatomy of a Cover-Up.' He explains that it's why police did nothing about reports that Wortman had illegal guns, and why the story of Wortman's eventual killing by cop, and the account of his girlfriend, don't line up with the evidence. If he's right, then Canadians have been fed a lot of lies by officials — and we finally deserve the truth. (Recorded June 12, 2025.)
