Dispersing the Fog E59 - Sullivan Children, Deaths in NS Jails, RCMP-Truro Police On Different Channels, Guests Fmr RCMP Complaints Comm. Shirley Heafey and Fmr RCMP Dep. Comm. Curt Allen
Sunday, 3 May, 2026

This week, we are excited to introduce a new guest, former RCMP Complaints Commissioner, Shirley Heafey. She is joined by former RCMP Deputy Commissioner Curt Allen to discuss her career, her interactions with senior RCMP leadership, and her role in the Robert Dziekański case (where she assisted the responding officers, who were eventually exonerated by an OPP report on the incident).Also discussed this week, the one year anniversary of the disappearance of Jack and Lilly Sullivan in rural Pictou County, and the latest RCMP statements. We also discuss the death of an inmate in custody, and the lack of information available for such situations. There was an emergency alert issued in Colchester County this week, near the area where the NS mass shootings took place, which is raising fresh questions about the lack of cooperation between the RCMP and Truro Police.
