Why I Love Bruce and His Wise Ways! When you share old tales and lobster around the kitchen table in Unama'ki (Cape Breton), no matter how fraught the legal arena you are entering the next few days, you know it is with family (of truth and justice). Family who always speak what is right, will never back down if just, and will always apologise when wrong (or even if right, if someone's feelings has been hurt, then say sorry for their pain). Bruce is such a Man, and Family, as are Ted, Jim, and David et al, who could tell the tale, but understand, that is it best left for the next time we met by the Waters of Bras d’or. You only need to look at his smiling wingman, riding shotgun Folks, and you'll see it come shining through. He writes and plays great music, art, literature, love of life-long learning and self-improvement! He has been serving and giving back since his first days as RCMP in Maple Ridge (Circa 80-81) when he bumped into a few of my Friends from Riverview Rural High School (“RRHS”), or so the story goes. If ever I needed a person of his significant skill to help in many areas, Bruce would be my choice. Add in his willingness to help victims, pro bono, with the process re abuse, assault, etc. all for the greater good, then in my mind, he could use our support with his generous mission (IMHO). If you have any need of a very modestly paid, super value Expert Witness, Trainer, Coach, Mentor, Advisor, Mediator, Investigator (Witnesses, Statements, Independence, Leadership, Ethics, etc.), then I highly recommend Bruce. If you want to be told when you are not right or could “look at it differently” (to use his words) like I did, he always will. His views and loyalty always follow logic, law, ethics, and his considerable experience in cause/effect, not money nor likeability. From what I can see, money for Bruce is simply so he can eat, live, and keep serving others, and if you can use his hired help – please do. His recent announcement re free "Forecnic Statement Capture & Preservation" is linked below. This is wonderful Folks, in the finest tradition of Bench, Bar, and Thin Blue Line. Bravo Zulu Sgt. – makes me proud to call you and David et al Good Friend! Now, one final Piece of Nanna Reid's Pie Plate Puzzle - “No Pursuit is Trivial If just” – Lest We Forget! Best, Kevin https://lnkd.in/g-cG5MDw PS: Can my CBA and L.E.A.F. colleagues take note and see if you can develop a Mentorship Programme for Young Advocates to shadow, learn, then help Bruce (and others) with this critical work? If we start there, the end of the dark tunnel of gender violence will be closer, and we will see more light with each passing full moon. PPS: Thank you for your Service to Kanama'ki, and especially Helping a Caper in Need😊

Ready for a wonderful day in Lake Tahoe learning from experts in Science Based Interviewing. Nice to see the lineup includes Canada’s own Jim Smyth. What a beautiful place to get the old grey cells chirping :)
