Corruption in Canada is off the Charts
Dear Nevermorons,
This is Crow Qu’appelle, and I have a big announcement. I’ve decided to start a new blog.
As regular readers are aware, I’ve repeatedly attempted to beg, bully and cajole you into giving me money, with limited success.
Eventually I decided that the problem was that I was writing for too specific of an audience. There are only so many post-Leftist anarcho-Deists out there, and most of them are pretty broke.
So I’ve decided press pause on the opinion writing for now and start reporting on crime and corruption in Canada, a subject that I know a lot about. I grew in Ottawa and my father was a Parliamentary reporter for the Canadian Press, so I’ve been paying attention to Canadian politics my entire life. I understand how the game is played.
I decided to start writing under my legal name, Anton Bueckert, to honour my late father Dennis Bueckert.
Because your average news reader does not share my political views (yet!), I’ve decided to separate my political writing from my journalism, which will be aimed at a general audience. The plan is to keep the speculation to a minimum and let the facts speak for themselves.
I feel like I’ll be able to reach more people this way, and maybe eventually people will decide that my creative writing is worth almost as much as a fart in a jar.
Please follow my new substack at antonbueckert.substack.com.
I also started a Telegram channel, which is called Crime & Corruption Canada.
While I was at it, I also started another Telegram channel for Nevermore Media.
I will still help maintain Nevermore, but for now I will be focusing more of my energy on reporting on crime and corruption in Canada.
For all of those of you who have reported my work these past three weeks, thank you so much. I am thankful that so many people consider my voice worth listening to.
Love & Solidarity,
Crow Qu’appelle
A Drug Lord Escaped from Prison in B.C., and no one is Talking about it.
by Anton Bueckert
On July 22nd, 2022, something extraordinary unfolded in a Vancouver suburb called Port Coquitlam: a notorious drug lord walked right out of prison.
If I told you that such an event occurred without specifying where, you might envision a scene from a corrupt narco-state, with collusion from within the legal system.
But guess what? This happened in Canada.
What does that say about our country?
The story I’m about to tell is about a gangster named Rabih Alkhalil, a Palestinian-born Canadian gangster who cut his teeth in Surrey, B.C., and played a leadership role in the Wolfpack Alliance, an alliance between the Hell’s Angels and two multiethnic B.C.-based gangs - the Red Scorpions and the Independent Soldiers.
Members of the Wolfpack Alliance were importing cocaine from the notorious Sinaloa Cartel, but the alliance was short-lived, though Mexican cartels are presumably in Canada for good now.
The purpose of this article is not to explain the intricacies of Canada’s criminal underworld so much as to focus on one particular event - Rabih Alkhalil’s escape from prison. If you would like to know more about Canadian gangsters, I refer you to the following two videos, both of which are incredibly instructive.
THE ESCAPE
During the evening hours of Thursday, July 21, 2022, the RCMP were called to a prison (North Fraser Pretrial Centre) in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, for the escape of Rabih Alkhalil, a high-profile prisoner.
How, you ask? Through an epic, mile-long tunnel, El Chapo-style?
Nope. A couple of white men walked into the prison wearing high-vis jackets and somehow escorted Alkhalil out of the jail, where they entered an Econoline van and drove away. That’s it.
If you were looking forward to an epic tale suitable for a Hollywood gangster movie, you’re going to have to look elsewhere.
WHO WERE THE MEN WHO ESCORTED ALKHALIL OUT OF PRISON?
The men who walked Alkhalil out of prison have not been identified or criminally charged, nor have authorities offered an explanation for how they gained access to the prison.
All we know is that they were white men who look suspiciously like cops or prison guards.
According to multiple news articles, they were “posing as contractors”, but it should go without saying that this isn’t much of an explanation. Obviously, prisons have security protocols that would normally prevent people “posing as contractors” from walking into a prison. According to police, they purported to be there to do repairs. The company they were pretending to be working for is not named, nor has the type of repair they were there to do been specified. It’s noteworthy that they are not carrying any tools, nor have authorities released any footage of them doing any repairs.
According to this Global News report, “they used a plasma torch to cut through the jail”, but this explanation is unsatisfactory, to say the least.
This is a picture of North Fraser Pretrial Detention.
Here’s a closer look at the outermost wall:
Do you think that you could cut through that wall with a plasma torch? If so, what kind? How many walls did this one plasma torch have to cut through? Why doesn’t any surveillance footage show Alkhalil’s rescuers carrying a tool or toolkit? Are we to believe that a plasma torch that can cut through multiple walls can be concealed so well that there is no surveillance footage of it? Why are there no photos of any hole caused by a plasma torch? Why would prison guards allow them to bring a plasma torch into a prison? What kind of repairs require a plasma torch, anyway? And why were these supposed contractors allowed to work unsupervised?
Perhaps most importantly, why is no one else asking these questions?
Obviously, the story about an alleged plasma torch doesn’t hold up. Really, a more parsimonious explanation is that Alkhalil was simply allowed to walk out of prison by prison staff, that authorities are lying to the media, and that the media is uncritically parroting what PR people tell them.
Yeah, I know, that’s hard to believe… unless you know something about the history of the Port Coquitlam RCMP.
BUT WAIT… THERE’S MORE!
On July 22nd, 2022, the day after the escape, the Port Coquitlam RCMP released photos of Alkhalil’s suspected accomplices.
If you want to see a shining example of the current state of Canadian journalism, I encourage you to watch this video, in which an RCMP spokesperson confidently asserts that “police believe we have identified the two suspects”.
A day later, the media was singing a different tune.
On July 23rd, just 2 days after the escape, a Vancouver Sun article reported that:
Coquitlam RCMP confirmed Saturday that two photos they released a day earlier as suspected accomplices in the brazen jailbreak of accused killer Robby Alkhalil are fake.
But Const. Deanna Law said the men in the pictures, which are available on websites selling fake identification, resemble the two people who arrived at the North Fraser Pretrial Centre in Port Coquitlam Thursday purporting to be contractors there to do repairs.
“It is believed that the suspects who helped Alkhalil escape bear a close resemblance to the photos they left behind, but those images are not them”, Law said. “As with many complex investigations, the information is rapidly changing as we progress.”
Online sleuths sent Postmedia several photos from various websites that matched the ones police originally released. Postmedia then provided the photos to Coquitlam RCMP Saturday morning for comment.
There you have it, folks. Canadian journalism at its finest.
Alkhalil is not the first person to escape from North Fraser.
In August 2008, Dean Douglas Sykes posed as his own cellmate and was taken to court where he was released as the other man. When he was caught a few days later, he received a 14-month sentence.
And in November 2007, gangster Omid Tahvili bribed a prison guard who helped him escape from North Fraser. He was never recaptured.
The B.C. corrections officer, Edwin Ticne, was later sentenced to three years, three months in prison for breach of trust. Crown lost an appeal to increase the sentence.
Tahvili’s escape was recorded by video cameras showing that Ticne “escorted Mr. Tahvili through four security doors between his living unit and the public exit from the pre-trial centre where they parted,” the B.C. Court of Appeal noted.
Ticne then “facilitated Mr. Tahvili’s passage through the security doors by pushing buttons that alerted staff in the central control area who unlocked the doors after identifying the respondent and a person apparently a contract cleaner.”
Tahvili had changed into clothes matching those worn by contract cleaners at the pre-trial centre.
Ticne left the jail and “drove to a near-by service station where he was to receive $50,000 for getting Mr. Tahvili out of prison,” the court ruling said. However, “No one met him and he received no money.”
Rabih Alkhalil is a 36-year-old Palestinian-born gangster whose family settled in the shittiest shithole in Canada, the Vancouver suburb of Surrey, B.C.
His older brother Nabil Alkhalil, 42, was shot dead in a suburb of Mexico City on Aug. 24, 2018. He had moved to Mexico from Vancouver in 2013 after he was threatened with deportation for cocaine trafficking.
Another brother, Khalil Alkhalil, 19, was shot dead in Surrey, B.C., in 2001.
with ties to the Hell’s Angels, the Independent Soldiers, and the Red Scorpions. He and his brothers, who has resided in various Canadian cities.
In 2017, an Ontario judge sentenced Alkhalil to life in prison for the first-degree murder of a man in a Toronto coffee shop. He was also given a concurrent sentence of 20 years for conspiracy to commit murder.
In 2020, in Quebec, Alkhalil was sentenced to 8 years in prison for drug trafficking.
On August 30, 2022, after his escape from the North Fraser Pretrial Centre, a jury found Alkhalil guilty of first-degree murder, the crime for which he was standing trial in British Columbia.
