Dispersing the Fog E57 - NS Mass Shooting 6th Anniversary With Guests Scott McLeod + Darrell Currie
Sunday, 19 April, 2026

This week, we acknowledge the 6th anniversary of the Nova Scotia mass shootings in Portapique and other communities in central Nova Scotia, with guests Scott McLeod and Darrell Currie. Scott's brother was a victim of Gabriel Wortman, and Darrell Currie was Deputy Fire Chief of the Onslow-Belmont Fire Department and was shot at by officers who claimed to have mistook an officer for Wortman. We discuss the RCMP's controversial training exercises in nearby Debert this week, the lack of progress on implementing changes in policing since the shootings, and how those close to the events are handling the memories brought to the forefront by the anniversary.
