Dr Grande is the Bob Ross of psychotherapy ...with his easy going even toned soft voice ....the joy of psychotherapy

My sister was texting me as she and her daughters hid in their basement from this bastard. They were ok, but too many others were not and this has left so many scars. I still can't believe this happened.

He followed behind my boyfriend’s mother car. One of his best friends died in the shooting. This rocked the entire province but even now almost a year after it’s still surreal. Rest In Peace Emily

As a Canadian this case was horrifying. Every day more bodies were discovered, we had no idea where it was gonna end.

"The kind of investment that pays in dividends of death." What a magnificent turn of phrase.

This happened in my home town Coming up on the one year anniversary So much loss for so many Rest In Peace to the 23 victims

Holy sh*t, this guy needed more than anger management, that's for sure

I'm a Nova Scotian, and we're still recovering. In that same month we had a few other tragedies, it was so sad how it all happened at once.

I am from Nova Scotia, and the killer drove through my community in his fake cop car that morning, just before he shot the cop. My sister lives near his clinic. It was pretty sad.

Thank you so much for covering this one Dr. Grande. It's believed that he was on his way to Halifax, the province's main city, to kill many more people than he already had. I used to live in the area near one of his denture clinics and he had this giant, creepy, smiling set of model dentures that he had hung up on the side of the building. Local residents had it taken down pretty quickly because people said it felt like it was like he was smiling at them after what he did.

I'm Canadian and when this happened last summer our news media refused to disclose his name when reporting the story. Maybe it was to help prevent retaliation. They basically said it was to prevent him from becoming notorious/famous. I'd never seen that happen before. Today was the first time I learned his name. I've dated a couple of first responders and your analysis of this type of person is right on. Also this video gave me some validation. I had a long-term relationship with someone who fits all of the criteria for psychopathy and APD. Of course I thought that I was the problem and I've never been the same since that relationship ended. At one point my ex started the hiring process for our police department. It all mysteriously came to a grinding halt one day and he wasn't hired. I realize now that he had probably gotten to the psychological testing phase and was rejected for his psychopathic traits. He's been incredibly lucky over the years in terms of not getting caught. Despite committing juvenile crimes, drug dealing, violent fights, public intoxication and being a kleptomaniac he has never been arrested. I don't think he's ever been held accountable for anything illegal he's ever done, or the pain and abuse he has inflicted on the people close to him, particularly women. I was in my early 20s when I was with him, and too naive and trusting to understand or accept what I was dealing with. I mourned this relationship for a very long time despite knowing intellectually that I was lucky to escape him.

Dr.Grande in my opinion is one of the hardest working content creators on Utube !!

Thanks for doing my request Dr. Grande. I was born in Nova Scotia and had years ago travelled thru the communities where the shooting spree took place. So very tragic.

As a Canadian, we're collectively still dealing with the failures in the system that allowed this rampage to continue for as long as it did. Great critique Doc as always Doc. Dark but huge thanks. Glad this one didn't come out on Friday as this episode would have not gone down quite so well with the Merlot after a long week wrestling Autism Doc. 👍😉

This story scares me. Because when you think of moving to a small town you hope to move away from big-city violence and drama. Glad to see the palm tree is back. Thanks again for your analysis!

Thank you Dr Grande for taking the time to talk about this case. This shook the entire province of Nova Soctia. This just goes to prove that any crime can happen anywhere...even in rural NS Canada. Everybody knows everyone here. Neighbors help each other. And then 23 innocent people were taken away, just like that, in the blink of an eye. It was absolutely horrifying. People are still shaken and most of us refuse to even say his name or talk about him. I can't even look at his face. Thank you again, Dr.

Great analysis. This man may have been a wannabe police officer, but in my personal opinion, he was pure monster. I know people who have had some of the worst childhood s ,but they don't go around shooting people. Thank you Dr Grande have a great day.

Purple definitely suits you, doc! As always, thank you for analyzing yet another very fascinating story!

Had no idea there were so many other Scotians on here like myself. Another important point worth mentioning is the amount of criticism the RCMP received for taking so long to inform the public about the details (notably the fake officer)

Terrifying yet story sensitively analysed, Dr G! Horrible story for Canadians - love to all in Canada - everywhere else too, of course! From the UK 🇬🇧

I’m imagining a family of little red flags knocking on the door of this man’s house to start their weekly lesson on becoming extreme

This case really shook Canada, thank you so much for devoting an episode to it

I used to work in security and I worked with more than a few “wannabe cops” so I have some experience with that personality type. That’s why I had a strong opinion on George Zimmerman’s murder of Trayvon Martin. I felt like I knew what kind of person Zimmerman was, how he’d conducted himself, and that he had provoked a fight with Martin.

It's horrific enough that he killed so many innocent people, but he killed two innocent dogs as well, that to me is a whole new level of evil.

Dr. Grande…. Thank you so much for this video. I’m from Nova Scotia and my ex mother in law grew up with her cousin in Ontario, where they had their first children. Lillian Campbell (Hyslop) was the baby girl of her cousin. We were devastated to hear she was killed while out for her walk. It’s hard to imagine the ripple effect from Wortman’s attack. So many people in so many communities lost loved ones.

Big plant is back 🪴

What a sad case. Your analysis was very well thought out and thorough. I really love how you cover Canadian cases, but all your videos are great!

This happened in my home province. Thank you for covering this

We live in a ground level flat about 2 minutes from one of his denture clinics. I remember that morning vividly, nobody had any real idea where he was or where he was headed next. Social media was blowing up with people trying to update each other with whatever little info they had to TRY to keep their families safe, and I remember snuggling my little girl away from any windows and hoping desperately that he wasn’t headed to his denture clinic (or his apartment that he had above). Absolutely the most terrifying day of my life.

I've said it before and now again: These police impersonators are not cute. They are not comical. Show me someone with fake police gear, fake police cars, this is a very very dangerous person, every single time.

I'm from Nova Scotia and it hasn't been the same here since. Absolutely heartbreaking and SO many people have been affected. Thank you for covering this- it seems not many do

The lil plants behind you are so cute

I have been waiting for this one. Controversial and rare story. I was wandering what were his issues. Very glad you covered this case.

Everytime Dr Grande's notification "BELL RINGS AN ANGEL GETS IT'S WINGS"

Wow, was going to post a request for this very case. Today. And here it is. Uncanny.

As a Canadian denturist whom is married to a police officer, this was so hard. I cried a bunch.

No one else can tell me something so awful, he has a way of getting the facts out there without me having to turn it off. Im so terribly sorry for the victims and families...truly heartbreaking. Thank you Dr. G, for the facts and the ability to retain a sensitivity few are capable of. Love to all of our Canadian friends! ❤

I am in Nova Scotia and yes it was a hard blow. I was someone who did not know that anything was going on in my town that night. It was unsettling to know that this man was around with no knowledge of it. Unless you were on facebook at the time. RIP all those who lost their lives.

Very good point about how when bullied, that energy "doesn't just dissipate into the atmosphere".

Wow ...That was very good analysis ...Thank you Dr.Grande.

excellent video!

Dividends of Death - sounds like a super creepy horror movie about a financial advisor that kills people

I’m daily waiting to watch your video, so honest and fair all the time. Thank you Dr.Grande 🤍

I understand that many shows do their best to sensationalize situations that are already extreme, but some testimony I heard after the fact strongly suggested the police work was not very good. They seemed to have failed to make the public aware that the spree killer was impersonating a police officer. Maybe lives could have been spared.. Either way, this was just a terrible thing to have happened and everyone deserved better that day.

Thanks for this, Dr. G. Very sobering to contemplate for me, as I survived a childhood of bullying and abuse of every sort. I channeled my rage into substance abuse and hard work. I moved to 🇨🇦🙏 where a potentially catastrophic event jolted me into Rehab and Recovery. I've spent 20 years in therapy, and there are many times when my rage threatens to overwhelm me. I'm fortunate to be introspective, very curious and savvy enough to know I was in deep trouble. Yet, I can only imagine Wortman's feeling of disenfranchisement from family and emotions, after that childhood. Perhaps there's something about fabled Canadian politeness, combined with a rural background, uncaring and unknowing family and friends, and an educational dearth of supervision, to blame for this? All I know now is, I benefit from the same system that produces people like the loathsome Bernardo/Homolka, Russell Williams, et al.

I've noticed some color coordination lately. As in there is a small plant that's the same color as his shirt 🤩. There was a light green plant in the video where he wore light green. Now there is a tiny purple plant hehe...

Great job as usual. I enjoy this channel. I like Dr Grande cadence, dry humor, and exposition

Thank you, Dr. Grande! Thank you for taking up on my suggestion! I have been waiting to hear your take on this case. This is everything I was expecting and more!

Thank you for your analysis, Dr. Grande. This case has haunted me since it happened. As you stated in your video, there were many red flags.

So happy to hear from the good Doctor Grande.

Hello there everyone , and how's your afternoon Dr. Grande

Excellent,love your frequent uploads & your unique humor

Dr. Grande, I have a question for you! From a psychologist’s standpoint, do you think it would be a good, precautionary measure to have ALL police officers (current + to be) go through full psychiatric evaluations prior to getting the job in the first place or at least being able to continue the work they already do?

Great analysis! I've been hoping you would review this case. Thank you!

Thank you for doing this. He grew up in the small community where I live and is a bit younger. So sad for everyone he affected and the lives lost.

Nicely presented. Loving the lilac!

Great video, as usual 🙂 Thanks for covering this case, very interesting and informative 👊🏻👏🏻

Thank you so much for taking on this case. Your ideas are very helpful.

Oh I’ve not heard anyone but Linda from Its a Crime discuss this case! I’m here for it Dr G!

I can only imagine what Wortmans girlfriend experience must have been like. Maybe the laws need to be changed regarding who can file domestic abuse queries. Neighbours should be able to alert the police.

This was an incredible analysis. I learned more about this case from your video than from all of the news articles I read.

Dr. Grande has the most relaxing voice, I always put his videos on before bed 🌙

Thank you so much for doing this case!

Imagine working in a place where it's important that everyone work as a team, as police departments often encourage, but then everyone is also psychopathic. Even if they were subclinical, how would they respond to a fellow worker who is overtly pathologically psychopathic? Would they shun him, complain about him or make him a kind of hero/role model?

Yeah, Oscar the Yucca is back! Guess he was out doing research for your next show :)

This one is more chilling than most of your videos that I've seen. The mixture of random and more targeted killings is, I think, a reason for that feeling.

Thanks for doing this. We're approaching the first year anniversary of the shooting and it's still so raw. It's so hard to understand. Appreciate your time and opinions on the situation.

What an excellent analysis, and also thought the points you made at the end were so very wise too!! Love the gathering of all your little cactus plants!🌵😊

Good video Dr. Grande.

You have taught me a lot, Doc. Thank you!

Dr. G: I think his house is where Red Flags go to be trained. You out did yourself with that one Doc!

Excellent analysis!!!!

Dividends of Death 👀 Dr. Grande gives me chills.

The purple plants at the back is my favorite! Also great video again. Always look forward to new uploads

Love your shirt. It’s the approximate color of my room when I was a teenager. Thank you so much for your calming demeanor! It’s addictive.

I'm from the other side of Canada and I followed this story at the time and kept wanting to wrap my head around it. Thank you for your thoughts. It has helped. Even two years later, I still think about it sometimes.

Dr Grande thank you for your insightful and informative thoughts. Always appreciated!☺And I am in love with the plant arrangement today! 😍💚💚

This was a very intense case, I remember it happening! Very sad for all those people who lost their lives. It was horrific. Thanks for you interesting analysis Dr. Grande. As always, you're the best! :)

Thanks Dr Grande, you went into a lot of detail on your analysis with this one. Much needed. He was a multi- faceted killer.

interesting about his financial status; would he still be jealous of police, considering they wouldn't likely be as successful as he was, or would he figure he had one up on them, especially when they were--well, practically a joke--and he was gaining ground with arms, and his disguises and props. The RCMP were negligent to the point of practically assisting him in his rampage. They sent a twitter message apparently to warn residents, as everyone in rural Nova Scotia is on their twitter at all hours of the night, instead of using the nationally-tested and true warning system. If not for the area being relatively small with small population, would they have caught up with him...

Thank you for covering this as always in such great detail Doctor.

Can you analyze the RCMP officers who thought it was a good idea to unload their guns into a firestation filled with people? Thank you for your excellent analysis on such a regular basis.

Oh. It's this guy. I didn't recognize the name, dude drove by my house during his attacks, we just call him "That guy who killed all those people"

Great analysis and you perfectly articulated a very powerful point at the end

Awe, your plants keep getting better. Love it! 😀

Dr. Grande- I just noticed that you have a new logo on your YT channel. It looks great!👌🏼✨ I have been always intrigued by people who are obsessed with being a cop.🧐 Very interesting topic, thanks Dr. Grande!❤️

Woah. I had not heard of this. Great vid Doc.

Wow, new camera? Love it. Your channel had a nice makeover.

I’d like to say awesome break downs of cases. Really enjoy though s On all your videos great work and thank you

I enjoy your analysis.

What an evil individual. Thank you for the analysis !

You are bang on the money with the red flags Sir 👍

I remember when this happened. This magnitude of multiple homicide doesn't happen that often here in Canada. It rocked the country. Just terrifying.

... VERY NICE SETTING FOR YOUR VIDEO ... RELAXED & WELCOMING ...

Yesss very excited to hear about this case... I'm in the dental field so it was shocking to hear he was a denturist

One hell of an "anniversary dinner" to set this all off. Makes you wonder what they must have discussed over a steak and potato.

Thank you for your decision to look at this case. I drive by his place of business each day and it makes me sick. Despite all of the horror he did, it always leaves me with the question of what on earth happened to make this person so angry, destructive, cruel? I appreciate your perspective, it helps us to heal. Many thanks.

This was a terribly, shocking case. Very unfortunate. I see what was missing, has now returned, very nice. Thank you for the video. 🌴💮🌿

I love the lighting situation you've got going on here - it seems that there is an additional (or maybe stronger) light to your right, Dr. Grande? Whatever it is, it looks good - more of a "textured" look (I don't know camera / lighting terminology). Also, I think I've figured something else out - the lighter, cooler colors are definitely the most becoming on you, especially yellow and pink. As always, thank you for your content! :)

Very insightful.
