February 17, 2026 The Tumbler Ridge, BC Shooting
On February 10, 2026, Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia became the site of one of the deadliest mass shootings in Canadian history when 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar killed their mother and half-brother at home, then went to Tumbler Ridge Secondary School where they murdered five children and an educational assistant before taking their own life.
In this episode of The Canadian Gothic, we walk through the timeline of the attacks, the history of family at the heart of this story, and the many unanswered questions surrounding warning signs, access to weapons, and mental-health support in remote Canadian communities.

January 19, 2026 The 1973 Kenora Bank Robbery Explosion
On May 10, 1973, a stranger walked into a bank on Main Street in Kenora, Ontario, carrying guns, duffle bags, and a homemade bomb that was armed to a switch he clenched between his teeth. For more than an hour the standoff dragged on inside the bank as a growing crowd of onlookers crowded the street outside it’s doors.
At 4:12 p.m., a single rifle shot ended the robbery in an explosion that shattered windows, scattered money through the air, and erased the man at the center of it all.
More than fifty years later, his identity and his motives remain unknown.
In this episode of The Canadian Gothic, I’m joined by Jack Luna, host of the Dark Topic podcast, to examine the Kenora Bank Robbery Explosion.
