Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

If you haven't already I recommend reading the book 22 Murders by Paul Palango. He lays out a lot of the, shall we say, inconsistencies in the rcmp version of events, including when the first 911 calls came in, when they knew it was Wortman and when they knew he was in a cop car and in uniform. He also touches on Wortmans connections not only to cross border smuggling (mainly cigarettes and guns from the states), organized crime, and local law enforcement but two of his victims were prison guards that he had a long association with, and during his rampage he was at their house for hours before burning it to the ground. And yea, tie that all into the lack of a proper inquiry and investigation and the maple gladio lable doesn't seem too far off the mark
Less in depth I'm sure, but TrueAnon did a good episode on it as well that touches on a lot of this
