Dispersing the Fog E51 - Dispensary Raids, MCC Through a Racial Lens, Murder Witness Given Transcripts in Jail, Guest Garry Clement on Ryan Wedding and International Crime Organizations in Canada
Sunday, 8 March, 2026

This week we welcome former RCMP Superintendent, and highly respected organized crime expert Garry Clement. Garry is the author of Under Cover - Fifty Years of Dirty Money, Organized Crime and the RCMP, and brings insight into the Ryan Wedding story, as well as how Canada is dealing with international criminal organizations. Stories covered this week include the coordinated raids the RCMP conducted this week on Mi'kmaq-run cannabis dispensaries on First Nations Reserves, proposed legislation that would keep secret the names of children who died in the care of child protection authorities, a peculiar situation in New Brunswick where a witness in a murder trial was placed in a jail cell with transcripts of other witnesses to that same trial, and a law journal article that argues Gabriel Wortman was the beneficiary of his race and class as he committed his murders in 2020.
