Dispersing the Fog E42 - New Portapique "Handler" Document Discovered, With Guest Ryan Potter
Sunday, 4 January, 2026

We welcome everyone to 2026 in our first episode of the new year with breaking news of the Nova Scotia mass shootings. Having sifted through a trove of emails among RCMP officers assigned to the Mass Casualty Commission analysis of the shootings, citizen investigator Ryan Potter has found evidence of a key individual having had a 'handler'. Paul, Adam, and Ryan discuss what this might mean, and how it impacts our understanding of the events of the NS mass shootings. In addition to the 'handler' reference, Ryan also discovered a medical examiner report that suggested there was a body found in Portapique which was left unaccounted. Also discussed, the Seymour Hersh documentary on Netflix, more examples of AI misuse in the law, the US arrest of Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro, and the Supreme Court of Canada hearings in R. v. Cope regarding Indigenous sentencing principles.
