Aug 10 2025- Did A Dirty Cop Thrive Under Danny Smyth's Watch?
The return of the Crime, Courts and Public Safety Update is the focus of Episode 41!
Part 1- A look at our recent interviews, and an explanation of some of the costs that your contributions to the Season Six Support campaign take care of- so we stay on the beat as Your Watchdog! The current total is $2675, thanks to our donors and sponsors!
12.00 Part 2- After even more criminal charges were filed against Cst. Eldon Bostock - and with another officer becoming the third of his associates on the force also heading to court- Winnipeg Police Service chief Gene Bowers stated:
"My message to the citizens of Winnipeg is you can bereassured that the majority of our members … they truly care about this community."
Among the allegations are drug dealing, ticket fixing, ammo heisting, and rousting unwanted tenants for a landlord. Most disturbing of the charges was the distribution of a photo of a dead woman found during a wellness check.
While Bowers is stuck cleaning up the mess, the obvious observation no one mentioned was that Bostock's dirty laundry list dates from 2016 to 2024. Matty Gold discusses how this ongoing conduct reflects on the head knock during that time period- the now retired Danny Smyth. What went on under his nose?
23.30- The round-up includes a dead body at the downtownlibrary; a murder on Boyd in the North End; lots of meth and fentanyl- and a gun- found in a raid on Mountain; and an even bigger bust in North Kildonan.
Also- nurses vote to avoid taking shifts at Health Sciences Centre, bike thefts are rampant, and Main Street Projectannounced a plan to build housing at their Main Street location.
You'll hear exclusive reaction to MSP's plan from Elmwood-EKcouncil candidate Abel Gutierrez, explaining why "I have serious concerns about their ability to manage additional housing responsibly."
****
In Sunday's Winnipeg Sun, another exclusive report- did you know that Mayor Scott Gillingham has left the board of the Winnipeg Metropolitan Region? It hass added impetus to the movement for taxpayers to have a say before council just lets the city membership in the WMR roll over without a debate.
