Tumbler Ridge Tragedy -- Remote BC Community Shattered

Police Allege Female-Perpetrated Mass Shooting

BEFORE AND AFTER NEW WORLD PHARMA

Police lied through their teeth to 43 Million Canadians

Casualties  in the Low 40's Dead and Wounded 

FINGERS IN EARS  "LA LA LA LA!"

It's probably not judiciously fit, criminally accurate, or wise for even idiots to blame an act of mass murder on a woman when it is clearly happening at the hands of a man. 

May I please proceed?

Patterns, Isolation, and the Long Shadow Ahead

In the remote Rocky Mountain foothills town of Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia—a purpose-built mining community of roughly 2,400 people known for its waterfalls, UNESCO Global Geopark, and outdoor solitude rather than headlines—a mass shooting unfolded on February 10, 2026, at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and a connected residence. 

RCMP confirm 10 dead (nine victims plus the suspect, who died from a self-inflicted gunshot) and 27 injured, including two with life-threatening conditions. This ranks among Canada's deadliest shootings, devastating a place where bonds run deep and escape is scarce.

Key Details of the Incident

Timeline and Scene: Reports of an active shooter at the school came in around 1:20 p.m. local time. Police found six fatalities inside the school, one en route to hospital, and two more at a 'linked' residence.

Suspect Description 

Emergency alert described the shooter as female, wearing a dress, with brown hair. RCMP confirm the suspect deceased at the scene from self-inflicted injury; the individual has been identified, though name withheld pending investigation. It's a deeply unsettling event in every way, and the details emerging provide an anomalous profile.

Response

Shelter-in-place order was issued and lifted by 5:45 p.m. after no ongoing threat had been confirmed. Victims were airlifted (including two critical); other victims were triaged locally. Schools (secondary and elementary) were closed for the week; reunification and counseling therapy is underway.

Wider Community Impact

Tumbler Ridge was established in province's N.E. corner, remote, and specifically designed in the 1980s to accommodate coal industry families and now a geopark hub. This tiny community is reeling with profound grief. Premier David Eby called it an "unimaginable tragedy"; local MLA Larry Neufeld noted the impact "felt by everyone" in this "small, close-knit town." National leaders echoed condolences amid one of the deadliest school-related events in Canadian history.

Motive remains under investigation; police indicate they may "struggle" to fully determine it.

What Exactly Are We Seeing? 

To put this woman and a mass shooting in context, the unfolding case stands out because mass killings by women are extraordinarily rare. Indeed, women account for only 3–6% of mass shooters/mass murderers in major databases (FBI, Northeastern University Mass Killings Database, decades-spanning analyses). Those are U.S. stats. In Canada. Not quite unheard-of? Karla Homolka? Any others?

In U.S. cases since 2006 (4+ killed), female perpetrators ~5–6%. Globally/historically (1900–2019), around 6%.

School shootings 

Female involvement is <4% in K-12 incidents. When women perpetrate homicides (including rare mass ones), patterns often involve intimate/family grievances rather than indiscriminate public attacks, although exceptions do exist. Over 90–95% of mass public shootings are by men, a criminological constant. 

Nevertheless, outliers like this devastate regardless of rarity. 

The Weight of Isolation

No Easy Escape from the Grief

Tumbler Ridge's remoteness is profound. It lies over 1,100 km northeast of Vancouver, hours from hubs like Dawson Creek (117 km) or Fort St. John (188 km) via challenging highways which remoteness intensifies every layer of trauma. 

In a town of ~2,400 where everyone knows everyone (Mayor Darryl Krakowka said he'd personally know every victim after 19 years there), there's no anonymity, no vanishing into crowds, no nightlife, cinemas, malls, or myriad distractions to numb or reset. 

Social life centers on community events, the rec centre (arena, pool, gym), hiking trails, and the geopark. It's all sort of beautiful, but on the humanistic level of the modern age, you are but contained. Driving out means long, often winter-harsh journeys; no quick urban getaway exists.

The assault saturates the space: reminders in every street, workplace, school pickup, familiar face. The dilution of the miasma of grief through external escapes does not exist in any way, shape, or form.

Immediate supports were dispatched, which reflects positively on the Northern Health crisis teams, provincial counselors, and the phone lines like 988/310-6789, VictimLink BC.

Long-term healing in northern remote BC faces strained resources: spotty internet for virtual care, travel needed for specialized trauma therapy, and the collective grief shared inescapably among interconnected families, classmates (~160 high school students), and neighbors. Casualties in the low 40s.

It's a sad fact we all know, people there will carry PTSD, anxiety, survivor's guilt for life; recovery isn't just individual. It's communal, slow, and amplified by a intractable isolation. 

This underscores systemic gaps in remote public safety: delayed responses, limited mental health infrastructure, and why short-term aid must evolve into sustained investment.

Closing/Call to Reflection:

In a country debating gun violence, mental health, and prevention limits, this demands more than headline scrutiny of remote vulnerabilities. Were there warning signs (if any) that went unseen in isolation, and a lack of delivery in long-haul mental health support? 

"Motive" remains under investigation. In a February 10 press conference, RCMP Superintendent Ken Floyd offered unusually candid language: "I think we will struggle to determine the ‘why,’ but we will try our best to determine what transpired," a departure from standard neutral phrasing that hints at anticipated challenges in uncovering the full roots of this tragedy.

Tumbler Ridge's strength lies in its bonds; healing will take time, resources, and recognition that some wounds don't fade when there's nowhere to go.

McColl Magazine will continue monitoring. This article was prepared with the help of AI and the burden of a heavy heart, thinking of hope and honest concern for the people of Tumbler Ridge. May sustained care meet the depth of this loss.

Further refinements and updates to this article are likely as RCMP releases more on motive, victim details, or community response.

The Real NEW World Order: How Global Pharma Built an Empire

The Structure of Madness

The New World Order people imagine — the one with cloaks, sigils, and a villain stroking a cat — would almost be a mercy compared to the real thing, which is global, decentralized, and built not on ideology but on industrial specialization. 

Canada isn’t an outlier; it’s one node in a planetary lattice of pharmaceutical hubs that each carve out their niche like medieval guilds global branding. Basel perfects the molecule; Singapore perfects the logistics; Ireland perfects the tax structure; the U.S. perfects the marketing.

And Quebec — ambitious, caffeinated Quebec — perfects the cluster model, punching above its demographic weight with the enthusiasm of a region that realized early on that molecules pay better than minerals.

 None of these places set out to build a dystopia; they set out to build an economy, and economies built on pharmaceuticals tend to grow faster than the ethical guardrails meant to contain them. This has been shown repeatedly.

The New World Pharmorder doesn’t expand through malice; it expands through financial and other incentives, gravitational pull of capital that rewards prescribing over pausing, scale over scrutiny, and innovation over introspection. 

Doctors follow guidelines written by government committees who follow recommendations written by consultants who follow market signals written by pension funds, and somewhere in that polite, multinational chain of responsibility diffusion, the smallest and least powerful — the kids — become the substrate. 

Does this test your confidence in the system?  Its confidence turns to hubris under closer inspection. The pharmaceutical cluster becomes a trench, not just in Montreal but in every global hub where investment outpaces oversight. 

It is a trench wide enough for entire generations to fall into while adults congratulate themselves on “sectoral competitiveness” and “innovation ecosystems.” 

And when the blowback arrives — because it always arrives — the response is the same everywhere: a task force, a white paper, a tele conference featuring a man in a suit insisting that “lessons have been learned” while the machine continues pulverizing kids exactly as before. 

This is the real New World Order. 

It's not a conspiracy when they are declaring it from every podium, the global process;  it's not a plot, a vacuum; not a cabal. It is a world-wide bureaucratic system that reshapes lives through chemistry spread by paperwork, financial incentives, and institutional inertia.

This New World Order is  so powerful it doesn’t need villains to cause harm. You don’t need a mastermind when you have a multinational machine. You don’t need secrecy when the truth is written in budget documents. 

You don’t need a shadow government when the real one — in every country — is perfectly capable of building an empire of malicious outcomes and defending it with a shrug.

McColl Magazine Public Safety: Quebec Pharma’s Shadow: The Legal Void in Youth Antipsychotic Prescribing

Quebec Pharma’s Shadow: The Legal Void in Youth Antipsychotic Prescribing

Time for Accountability

Canada’s youth mental health crisis is no longer just a medical story—it is a legal and institutional failure with mounting liability risks. High-risk antipsychotics like olanzapine (Zyprexa) are prescribed off-label to children and adolescents at unprecedented rates, often by family physicians without specialist oversight, mandatory monitoring, or full transparency on industry influences. 

Quebec, home to a thriving pharmaceutical sector, shows some of the highest rates in the country, tripling from ~1.6% to nearly 4.9% over two decades in public plan data. Nationally, CIHI reports a 13% rise in youth antipsychotic dispensing (2018–2019 to 2023–2024) in tracked provinces, but Quebec’s elevated baseline and economic dependence on pharma giants make it ground zero for scrutiny.

This pattern—off-label use for behavioral issues, aggression, anxiety, or mood symptoms (including comorbidities in gender dysphoria cases)—exposes vulnerable youth to severe, lifelong risks: rapid metabolic damage, diabetes, obesity, hormonal disruptions, and sedation. SSRIs add black-box suicidality warnings for young people. Yet Canadian law provides no mandatory safeguards: no public named disclosure of pharma payments to physicians, no enforced specialist consult for high-risk youth psychotropics, no standardized metabolic monitoring protocols with legal teeth.

The result? A system where medications intended to stabilize can become part of unmanaged risk, especially when layered with specialist shortages, rural access barriers, fragmented care, and opaque industry ties.

Off-Label Prescribing: Legal but Liable

Off-label use is legally permitted—it falls under provincial medical regulation—but it carries heightened liability when risks are foreseeable and safeguards absent. In minors, physicians owe an elevated duty of care: informed consent must explicitly cover black-box warnings and metabolic monitoring needs. Failure to explore non-drug options first, or to monitor weight/glucose/lipids, can cross into negligence.

Provincial Colleges of Physicians (e.g., Collège des médecins du Québec) can discipline for substandard care or undisclosed conflicts (per CMA ethics code), but enforcement is reactive. No federal or provincial statute mandates specialist referral for off-label atypicals in youth, unlike some guidelines that recommend it. Voluntary pharma payment disclosures (Innovative Medicines Canada) remain anonymous and incomplete—Canada lags far behind the U.S. Open Payments database or stalled provincial bills like Ontario’s Health Sector Payment Transparency Act.

When harm occurs—e.g., rapid 30+ lb weight gain leading to diabetes, or unmanaged agitation in complex cases—potential civil suits (malpractice), College complaints (misconduct), or even Charter challenges (s.7 security of person via inadequate safe care; s.15 equality for youth with complex needs) become realistic pathways.

Tragedies as Warning Signs 

Cases like the 2026 Tumbler Ridge school attack—where the shooter (18, transgender woman with documented MDD, autism, OCD, HRT access struggles, repeated mental health apprehensions) navigated a patchwork of hospitalizations and interventions—expose systemic fragility. While no proven causation exists, such events raise questions: Were psychiatric meds (SSRIs/atypicals for co-morbid symptoms) adequately monitored? Did access barriers or poor coordination compound risks? Public safety demands answers, not speculation.

History’s Liability Lessons

Canada has paid dearly for delayed oversight: 

Thalidomide (approved 1961, withdrawn late 1962): Over 100 confirmed malformations; decades of advocacy for compensation. Government/industry faced liability for ignoring warnings.

Vioxx, Fen-Phen, DES, OxyContin: Billions in settlements after downplayed risks and delayed action.

The pattern: Systems protect economic interests until harm accumulates, then react with apologies and cheques. Youth antipsychotic overreach could follow—metabolic class actions, College investigations, or inquiries if tragedies link to unmanaged prescribing.

Reforms: From Reactive to Proactive Law

Protecting Quebec’s pharma jobs and innovation does not require sacrificing youth safeguards. Quebec should lead:

• Mandatory named disclosure registry for all pharma payments to physicians—searchable, public, modeled on U.S. standards.
• Legislated specialist consult for off-label antipsychotics in minors, with documented justification.
• Enforceable monitoring protocols—baseline/ongoing metabolic labs, enforceable via Colleges/Health Canada.
• Investment in non-pharma youth supports—therapy, school programs, rural telepsychiatry—as Charter-aligned rights to evidence-based care.
• Independent reviews of high-risk prescribing patterns where economic incentives intersect with adverse outcomes.

These are not anti-industry—they are pro-safety, pro-accountability. Quebec’s pharma backbone can thrive alongside transparent, cautious prescribing.

Kicker

The next reckoning won’t be a surprise commission or retroactive cheque. It will be preventable harm turned irreversible—metabolic scars, lost futures, or public safety failures from unmanaged risks. Canadian law must evolve from apology to prevention. Quebec has the economic clout to set the standard—will it choose protection over inertia?

This piece complements another article: medical/economic focus there, legal/liability/reform here. The one above obviously concerns public safety through systemic accountability.

There are shifting political realities in the focus on the United Nations. 

In particular under the current Trump administration as of January 2026, the tendency toward viewing the UN less as neutral and more as potentially transactional, sets up the view of an organization that facilitates pathways through aid, diplomacy, and operations into major economies like the U.S., sometimes with questionable accountability.
