I guess we could tread down the path of how the information was disseminated, and whether all people in areas with no cell coverage could get information, and whether "suspicious death" means executed at close range by gunfire when information about weapons is withheld, or if this means another fentanyl death in the minds of average people -- but this has already been discussed at length.
We all know that police on Highway 97 (Alaska Highway), and in the recent Highway 29 incident, did not retreat citing concerns for their own safety.
So why in a remote area of Manitoba, where it would have been possible to contain and/or patrol the area, would police find it too dangerous to investigate a crime scene, yet let the public enter the area? If it was too dangerous for the police, why was a tow truck driver allowed into the area?
The explanation offered for not checking out evidence at the scene of a crime is substandard at best. Surely days and weeks later, that becomes an excuse, rather than an explanation.
I feel sorry for the tow truck driver now, wondering if the authorities informed him that he would be putting his life in danger by towing the SUV. I would really like to hear what he has to say, if any reporters are reading this. Do RCMP typically accompany tow trucks to the scene of vehicle fires up there?
Oh, boy, question period in the fall session of parliament is going to be a zinger.
