Arrest made in Surrey Murder

Kim Bolan and Global are both reporting that the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has arrested 42-year-old Dustin Barry Anderson for the murder of 33-year-old Shaunce Poirier. Anderson is known to police and faces one count of 2nd degree murder.

Shaunce Poirier was shot dead on Monday June 16 close to the Front Room in Surrey. He struggled with addiction. What are the odds he was killed for a drug debt? The suspect they have arrested appears to be a drug debt enforcer. He has a long criminal history for theft, fraud, trafficking, uttering threats and the possession of stolen property. In Kelowna he teamed up with his girlfriend to confine and brutalize a young woman they believed owed a debt. Similar MO to Larry Mizen.

The fact that IHIT has an arrest in this murder already is awesome. However, this public gun violence is further evidence of what happens when you let drug dealers sell crack in Newton and outside the Front Room in Whalley. Letting them sell crack in public creates a huge amount of violent crime in the community.

Another point I want to make is here we have another drug debt enforcer with a history of theft, fraud and possession of stolen property. In Larry Mizen's case, he has a long history of extorting and ripping people off he claims owed drug debts. In this case we have another drug debt enforcer who is nothing but a thief himself.

It's the same with the Hells Angels in Kelowna. David Giles and the Kelowna Hells Angels were charged in another large drug trafficking ring and at the same time they were running a stolen car, boat and motorcycle ring where they were revining stolen cars including ones they themselves fraudulently reported stolen to scam the insurance. That is low life.

More recently the Vancouver Province ran an article about a large amount of stolen property that was recovered from a home as well as various types of drugs. Drug dealers fencing stolen property. This is the tapeworm economy that Catherine Auston Fitts talked about. These are the parasites in society that are ripping off people who work for a living. In Vince McMurchy's case, that slimy drug dealer was already making good money as a longshoreman. He wanted more. He was consumed with greed and a huge amount of predatory violence and exploitation was the result.

These are human beings that we are letting become exploited by predatory drug dealers. Sadly, Shaunce had the Better Safe than Surrey logo as his profile picture on facebook. After making a philosophical post about being able to look at oneself in the mirror he made a post about being sad right before he was shot dead. No doubt someone was harassing him for a drug debt. We need to arrest the predatory drug dealers not the homeless they brutalize. Shaunce was the one in the hat.



In Maple Ridge another associate of Jesse Haddan has died of a suspicious suicide. I'll write about it and a few other cases related to it after the funeral.

Another shooting in East Vancovuer

Things have sure warmed up across the board. Kim Bolan is reporting that there was another shooting in Vancouver today. A 22 year old male was shot near Abbott and Keefer. He walked to St Paul's hospital at 2:30 AM where he was treated and released into police custody but is uncooperative with police.

A police spokesperson came out with the same old nonsense about how violent crime is decreasing over all so all these public shootings are nothing to worry about. Violent crime is not decreasing in East Vancouver. Crime statistics are being suppressed because they closed the local police station to public access. Stabbings happen there on a daily basis.

“The shootings and violence that you are seeing right now – these are targeted incidents they are generally involving people that are involved in high risk behavior, high-risk activity – gang activity, drug activity,” Montague said. True. That means we should be arresting the drug dealers that sell crack in public if we want to reduce this kind of perpetual public gun violence. The New York model is somewhat more effective than the bullsh*t model.

No public safety concerns in Surrey

The Vancouver Province is reporting that University of the Fraser Valley criminologist Irwin Cohen, a member of Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts’s homicide task force claims “It’s always concerning when you have three homicides in a short period of time, however, understanding the dynamic of the homicide is very important when assessing how at risk you are or if your community is safe or less safe.” IHIT spokesman Sgt. Bari Emam said in a news release: “We have no public safety concerns as a result of this case.” Hey Bill Fordy: TRANSFER!

Shooting at Brentwood Mall

ScanBC is reporting that #Burnaby #RCMP are investigating after a person was shot several times at Brentwood Mall in Burnaby last night. AM 730 is reporting that RCMP say the victim has non life threatening injuries. Surrey stabbing at 90 Ave & 121 St. Another in East Van. We rarely hear about all the stabbings that go on in the city on a regular basis. Especially in the DTES.

Global is reporting that the three Hells Angels that escaped a Quebec prison in a helicopter have been captured in Montreal.

Surrey Shootings - Clayton Heights and Whiterock

A drive-by shooting in Clayton Heights Wednesday afternoon that left a man wounded. The shooting took place in front of a business complex in the 7200 block of 192A St. about 3:30 p.m. Clayton Heights is a nice area near the Langley border but several gang bangers have moved into the neighborhood.

Kim Bolan is reporting that Shaunce Poirier is the name of the victim shot in Surrey Monday. There was a stabbing fatality yesterday in Newton and a dead body found in the Fraser river under the Pattullo Bridge Tuesday. Scan BC reported that #Vancouver Police were on scene with a male shot several times in a restaurant at 5073 Victoria Dr. Suspect fled in a silver vehicle.

The Vancouver Province reported that shooting was at the Lam Hoa Quan Restaurant on Victoria Drive, near East 34th. Investigators believe the gunman walked into the restaurant through a rear entrance, shot the victim, and left the same way. The shooting is the third in East Vancouver so far in June and follows the shooting of a man in March in nearly the same location.

Scan BC is now reporting that #Surrey #RCMP have located a body in a house at 2500 156 St (Whiterock). Homicide Team called as circumstances are suspicious. Kim Bolan reported that "Someone wearing HA support wear showed up at police tape, gave details of scene to someone on phone and left. Wouldn't give his name." She seemed to have been on scene tweeting a play by play after SWAT was called in and left without an arrest.

Kim Bolan is reporting that the name of this victim was Timothy Szabolcsi. Seemingly he was a con man that apeared on Dr. Phil.

Pipeline Promises

The Pipeline Protests have begun. After unilaterally removing BC's say in the proposal to build a pipeline for dirty tar sands oil across the province to be refined in Kitamat, Stephen Harper announced they have decided to proceed regardless of local concerns. Time for some court action with Stephen Harper's name on it. Especially when it comes to legal liability for damages when that pipeline leaks. No corporations without legal liability here. We need to make Stephen Harper personally liable.

Before I examine some of the very significant local concerns about the pipeline let's remember that Stephen Harper removed BC's say in the matter. That was yet another step away from democracy and another giant leap away from the principles of the Reform Party Stephen Harper has prostituted. The Reform Party promised referendums. Stephen Harper bans them.

Let me say I'm not against the idea of a pipeline. I'm just totally against how they're doing it. First, it's not refined oil going through the pipeline it's dirty tar sands oil. When that leaks and we know it will, it creates a much more significant amount of environmental damage to our drinking water.

So why not refine it at source? Why risk putting that extra toxic substance though the pipeline? Why? The other obvious concern is what to do with the petroleum coke byproduct. Detroit had a mountain of petroleum coke from Canadian Tar sands oil brought to them by Enbridge and they just didn't know what to do with it. If we don't refine it at source we will need a plan in place what to do with all that byproduct in Kitimat because putting that toxic mess onto tankers is just way too high risk for navigating our precious coastline.

Why Enbridge? They have a horrible record for pipeline maintenance and oils spills in the United States. They have we used tax dollars to create a oil monopoly and thereby destroyed the free market. Years ago the United States Supreme court ruled that illegal when the Rockefellers used ruthless tactics to obtain an monopoly on the oil through Standard oil. Anti trust laws forbade it. Now politicians who get kickbacks in campaign contributions call it good business. That is wrong. An oil monopoly is bad for Canada and most certainly bad for consumers.

Why China? Why give China our oil rights and our oil profits? Selling China oil is good business. Giving them our oil rights and our oil profits is not. Now when we get gouged at the pump because their is no free market, China gets those profits not Canada. That is messed up.

What assurance do we have that Enbridge will do a better job at pipeline maintenance and leak clean ups then they have done in the United States? Right now they are the wrong choice.

Nationalizing the oil in Canada would benefit taxpayers and consumers both.

Teachers strike: Everyone’s a Loser

I was trying to bite my tongue on the subject of the teachers strike but it’s just so upsetting. Both sides are wrong and the kids are the ones who suffer. Just like in a bad divorce. I really get upset when I see teachers with signs that say think of the kids or smaller classes matter.

Education does matter. Kids matter. Screwing up their education every couple years with work to rule or strikes screws up their education. You’re only in school once. You only graduate once. The selfishness and the dishonesty is infuriating. So does that mean you are willing to take a zero percent wage increase if they reduce class size? I think not. For the first time in my life I have an uncontrollable urge to yell out Go back to work when I see teachers on the picket line this time.

The Liberal government is no better. Persistent lies to the media. Knowingly breaking court orders. If you legislate someone back to work you have to get a fair arbitrator. Not a loaded deck. OK so the teachers want another raise. Who’s going to pay for it? The taxpayers. Clearly the fiscal mismanagement of the Liberal government isn’t helping. If they didn’t screw up BC Hydro there would be plenty on money for teachers.

Think about it. In Christy Clark’s fudge it budget she claimed that she anticipated extracting a dividend from BC Hydro to balance the budget. That claim was fraud knowing full well after Gordon Campbell privatized the power brokers that sell power to the public company at above market rates they created a perpetual ballooning deficit that is about to swallow taxpayers whole. Yet if they hadn’t privatized the power brokers that sell power to BC Hydro at above market rates, they would have been able to extract a dividend to balance the budget. That would have been good business.

Instead they took that tax revenue away from the people and put it into the hands of private corporations that contribute to their political campaigns. That isn’t just bad business, it is a criminal act. If we fixed BC Hydro and got rid of Gordon Campbell’s insider trading power brokers that are ripping off taxpayers at an astonishing rate, we’d have plenty of money for teachers and a balanced budget as well. Imagine that. In the Greek financial crisis what was public money became private money then disappeared. Just like BC Rail.

Hells Angels Associate in Courtenay faces weapons charges

The Times Colonist is reporting that Bryce Cameron McDonald, 32, from Courtenay faces more than a dozen charges six months after a massive cache of weapons was seized from his home. He was arrested Dec. 19, the same day an RCMP emergency response team raided two homes and a storage locker in Courtenay.

Inside the storage locker and lockbox police found 19 firearms, including five handguns, 11 rifles, three shotguns and one loaded nine-millimetre semi-automatic handgun. Police also found thousands of rounds of ammunition, firearms parts, a Taser, a baton, and brass knuckles. Officers also seized six grams of crack cocaine, a machete and equipment believed to be used for the sale of drugs. McDonald's next court appearance is July 10 at 9 a.m. in Courtenay.

Another Hells Angels associate caught with guns and crack. Go figure.

Surrey Shooting 108 Ave and 133 Street

Scan BC reported that Police are on scene at 108 Ave & 133 St with a male that's been shot. Sounds like it's a homicide. Police said residents won't be allowed in the building for a few hours. It's right beside Gateway skytrain station and right around the corner from the Front Room.

Reflecting on Normandy: Maggie What have we done?

To commemorate the 70th anniversary of D-Day, the day of the initial assaults liberating Normandy on Tuesday 6 June 1944, the Legion Magazine has put out a pretty spectacular special edition as a tribute to that colossal and historic sacrifice. This Father's Day I want to remember all the noble soldiers who gave up their chance to become fathers and in so doing became fathers of freedom for us all. Lest we forget our freedom was bought with a price and can just as easily be lost if we do not remain vigilant and true to the same principles those great men fought and died for.

World War I and II were clear cut good versus evil. Fascism was invading and oppressing Europe and the world united to oppose them. After that victory there was a dark evil created from within that had the same mandate the enemy on the other side of the battlefield had. To destroy our liberty. Yet this new enemy that was created from within was based on fraud and deceit.

After the war Winston Churchill wrote a book called a Warning to the West. In that book he talked about one of his greatest concerns. He said that everyone was so focused on overcoming Fascism, that they missed another similar threat from one of our Allies, the threat of Communism. He describes in detail how Poland was tricked. How Stalin "liberated" them from the Nazis only to oppress them with Communism which continued to oppress eastern Europe for many years after the war. In east Berlin the machine guns were turned inwards to prevent occupants from escaping.

The Korean War was an extension of that struggle. Communism fueled by China took over north Korea and tried tio invade and oppress south Korea. Canada was right in helping repel that invasion. Vietnam was similar. Canada was wrong for not helping in that conflict. Yet Iraq changed everything and that deception was based on the evil from within that was created after the second world war. It was the creation of the CIA. That was the secret society Kennedy warned us about.

Two significant changes have occurred since World War II. In Vietnam the CIA began it's drug trafficking addiction under the direction of George Bush senior. In Iraq MI-6 began a campaign of deception known as Mass Appeal intentionally sending out false information about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. Bush said Iraq has them, invaded and when proved to be wrong declared mission accomplished. The invasion of Iraq was about oil not weapons of mass destruction.

This is the colossal change that has taken place since World War II. When armies defend corporations not countries and civilians. A change that is continuing in Colombia where Canadian oil companies are protected by Canadian and US troops. These oil companies don't represent Canada. They represent private corporations obsessed with profit at the expense of consumers and taxpayers alike. Just like in Afghanistan.

One minute the US oil companies are wining and dining the Taliban trying to win the contract for the Central Asia Gas pipeline through Afghanistan and as soon as they award the contract to a firm from Argentina, they were invaded and that decision was reversed. Afghanistan is a clear example of the double deception of modern times. Military used to promote corporate interests as well as the "intelligence" communities addiction to drug trafficking. Right before the invasion of Afghanistan the Taliban had almost completely stopped the production of opium. After the allied invasion the production of opium increased each year to record levels with US military actually protecting the opium crops.

Libya was another example of a war we should not have been involved in. It was about oil not freedom. One minute Sarkozy was trying to convince the world we should trust Gaddafi with nuclear power then as soon as Gaddafi turns down the bid to buy a French Reactor and buy one from somewhere else, we helped that dirty dog invade and execute his biggest campaign contributor.

It's like the Pink Floyd album The Final Cut Requiem for a Post War Dream where they ask Maggie, what have we done? Referring of course to Maggie Thatcher and the noble ideals we once fought to uphold. Things have indeed changed considerably since them. Who hath done this? Who hath corrupted the fruit of the vineyard? An enemy hath done this. An enemy from within.

We cannot talk about criminal organizations like the Hells Angels without talking about criminal organizations like CSEC. CSEC's mandate is to break the law and spy on Canadians and allies without a warrant. In Brazil CSEC was caught spying on people on behalf of corporations. This has taken us to a place where corrupt politicians say one thing and do another. They say they are right wing and believe in protecting freedom, balancing budgets and reducing taxes but they do the exact opposite. A $1.2 billion spy palace is indeed a waste of money. So is losing billions of tax dollars a year from their budget. If that isn't terrorism I don't know what is. What have we done?



Nationalizing the oil or mining rights is not a bad idea. It balances the budget and reduces taxes. One of the purposes of Operation Fast and Furious was to overturn the Nationalization of Mexico's oil and take those profits out of the hands of the people and put it into the hands of a corporation.
