September 27, 2022 Steve Smith's Bad Trip - LSD, torture, and the Oak Ridge Medical Asylum
Would you believe me if I told you that a Canadian mental health hospital was conducting cruel experiments on patients, using LSD, rape, embarrassment and torture as recently as the 1980s?
If you don't believe me, buckle up for this one as we are about to receive a guided tour through Ontario's controversial Oak Ridge Medical Asylum and the many unimaginable things that took place within it.
One of the many lives altered by Oak Ridge's cruelty is Steve Smith, in fact, many of the secrets that have been revealed since the experiements ceased, are a result of his determination to expose the truth of what happened in those walls.
Tonight, in this episode of Nighttime, we will be joined by Oak Ridge Survivor Steve Smith.

Dale Rancourt is a former children’s entertainer and registered sex offender who is known widely as the disgraced ‘Klutzy the Clown’,
In this episode his victim , who we will refer to as Jane Doe, will tell their story publicly for the first time. A different and much darker story than the one he admitted to in his guilty plea.

September 10, 2022 the Disturbing story of Dale 'Klutzy the Clown' Rancourt - 2 - a documentary that didn't age well
Dale Rancourt is a former children’s entertainer and registered sex offender who is known widely as the disgraced ‘Klutzy the Clown’,
As you heard in my prior episode while researching Rancourt's life and crime I referenced a documentary film (Big Shoes) about him, produced several years before his arrest.
As you may have expected, the film really didn't age well and not because of any creative of technical decisions Michael or Adrienne made but because it leaves out the topic that dominates any discussion about Dale Klutzy the Clown Rancourt.. the sexual offences against a child that occurred in the years after the films release.
After watching the film I was interested to hear how the filmmakers have dealt with such a spoiled creation and that’s exactly what we will get into in this episode.
In this episode of Nighttime we will be joined by Michael Fraiman and Adrian Lee and our topic is the disturbing story of Dale ' Klutzy ' Rancourt... and their documentary that really didn't age well.

September 10, 2022 the Disturbing story of Dale 'Klutzy the Clown' Rancourt - 1 - Discussing Cape Breton's Disgraced Clown
For a period spanning a little more than a decade you would have been hard pressed to find a Cape Bretoner unfamiliar with Dale Rancourt and his character Klutzy the Clown.
He was both a children and adult entertainer bouncing his way between birthday party's, old folks homes, and public events being a not an especially good performer.
He certainly wasn't universally respected, but somehow he managed to find a place for Klutzy the clown in Cape Breton's entertainment economy, but it's all gone now.
Dale 'Klutzy the clown' Rancourt broke a few of the most rules society places on those we allow near our children.
Over the course of a multi part series, I'll be unpacking the disturbing story of the disgraced Dale ‘Klutzy the Clown’ Rancourt.
