Administration of the Defence of Canada Regulations (DOCR)

"Administering the DOCR proved to be a boon to the careers of RCMP men. At the start of World War II, the Intelligence Section of the RCMP was a six-man operation at headquarters, attached to the Criminal Investigation Branch. By 1943, there were now 98 in the headquarters operation of the Intelligence Section, with important increases in the field: twenty more men working in Toronto, nineteen in Montreal and nine in Vancouver.

The effect of World War II on the overall size of the RCMP was also impressive. The RCMP force was immediately increased by 700 at the start of the war. On June 6, 1940, the list of police officers who could enforce the DOCR was expanded to include all RCMP officers from the rank of inspector and up, and officers of similar rank in the provincial police forces in Quebec and Ontario, as well as chiefs of police in municipalities with populations of more than 10,000. There were still not enough police. 

On June 24, 1940, RCMP Commissioner Wood wrote Ernest Lapointe to complain that he could no longer meet demand, especially in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver. Wood went so far as to express concern for the health of his men, so busy and over-extended were they. So, on August 30, 1940, authority to administer the DOCR was extended once again to include almost all police officers in Canada, whether at federal, provincial, or municipal levels.

One of the products of the increased RCMP workload were the monthly security bulletins issued by the Intelligence Section to senior federal officials and the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO). Right from the beginning, some of the recipients of the bulletins were wary of the value of the reports. Jack Pickersgill, second-in-command in the PMO, analyzed the bulletin of October 30, 1939. His comments reveal some of the deficiencies in the RCMP analysis; they bear summarizing:

no distinctions between fact and hearsay;

no distinctions between subversive doctrine, and legitimate social and political criticism;

obsession with Communists, to the exclusion of information about Nazis or Fascists;

no evidence of sabotage or espionage directed against Canada;

no co-ordination with military intelligence, censorship officials, immigration officials, or External Affairs;

police spying on law-abiding Canadians, thus making the police political censors;

lack of capacity and training for real intelligence work directed against the real enemy.

Also wrote Pickersgill:

It is more likely that there are secret, German agents in the country. From a casual reading of these ‘Intelligence Bulletins’, one would scarcely realize that Canada was at war with Germany; there is not the slightest hint that anything is being done in the way of intelligent and well-directed anti-espionage work.

Pickersgill suggested that an intelligence branch be created within Justice, to whom the RCMP would report, in order to co-ordinate government intelligence efforts. 

Nonetheless, King, Lapointe, and the Justice Department continued to support the work of the RCMP in spite of criticism both internal and external to the government. When the tide turned against the government’s policies of repression of the left, the RCMP ceased the widespread distribution of security bulletins. One shouldn’t expect just administration of a law that is itself unjust.

The violations of normal, legal protections under the DOCR might also accrue to another element, however, which explains why internees were never explained the full nature of charges against them. Some information obtained by the RCMP was retrieved secretly from informers within the Communist Party, sources that had to be protected were they to continue to be useful. There is a series of letters that establishes the policy of the RCMP and government about this secret information. In the first of these letters, the Justice deputy minister wrote to the RCMP:

If you have evidence which has been obtained through the medium of a police secret agent, the identity of whom it would be extremely undesirable to disclose, then I suggest that you are not compelled to, and should not produce such evidence, even by withholding it you may have little in the way of other evidence to support the order for internment. The recommendation of the tribunal is only a recommendation and not a judgement, and the release of the appellant after the finding of the tribunal is a matter which is in the absolute discretion of the Minister of Justice, and he may, with or without assigning any reason, order the further internment or the release of the appellant. In cases where you do not disclose confidential information to the tribunal, you should notify the Department so that all the facts may be brought before the Minister when called upon to act in the matter.

When the RCMP asked if the instructions about secret information were to apply to enemy subjects, as well as to British subjects, Lapointe responded in the affirmative, adding that he would consult with the RCMP before freeing internees. At least, some of the explanation for the functioning of the DOCR, therefore, lies in the government’s protection of its espionage network among communists.

In fact, during the 1920s, an RCMP Staff-Sergeant, John Leopold, had become a highly placed informer within the Communist Party. Leopold, who used the pseudonym ‘Jack Esselwein’, had provided  evidence in 1931 that permitted the government to prosecute Tim Buck and seven of his  leading colleagues in the Party. During World War II, we know of at least one other RCMP informer within the Party, although there probably were more. A certain ‘Koyich’ was active in Alberta, a fact uncovered by Patrick Lenihan, a Calgarian, and Ben Swankey, from Edmonton, both of whom were interned in Hull."

Victim of unsolved murder, William Turner North Bay July 1969 The second Photo is that of Commissioner Archie Ferguson.

                                          Policing Memories of

                                     Garry Crawford Circa 1962

                                                  Part VIII

     In July of 1964 my friend John Raymond and I started the reconstruction of our house in Warren. The original building had been a storey and half building 19’x23’ built in the 1930’s from material salvaged from a school that was built in 1918. The studs in the wall were hewn tamarack poles that were placed every 5’. This required a fair amount of axe work, as we put an 18’x28’ addition onto the existing building and brought it down to one storey. In doing so we removed some support walls, so John came up with the idea of making up a long beam which we placed in the attic then hung support for the walls that we removed; from the beam. We put a full basement under the addition and opened up an entrance from the original basement. The final result was that we had an extended living room, a bathroom and two bedrooms with additional closets on the main level. The basement was finished and we had a third bedroom in the basement plus a large family room play room combination for the boys and a laundry room. I think the only day it did not rain that summer was the day we put the new roof on the entire house.

     My wife deserved a medal for her patience that summer as most of the summer we could lay in bed and see the stars out through the gable end of the roof. We also put in a new field bed behind the house and hooked up all the necessary plumbing etc. for the new bathroom. John continued much of the time on his own to do the finishing. The interior of the house was finished up the following year. With John building new cupboards in the bathroom, laundry room etc. He also built fold-up cupboards which held the boys play toys in the family room. We now had a home.

     There is one more part of this construction job I should mention. During the latter part of February in 1965, I hired a fellow from Verner to help me finish the basement floor, in the new section of the house.  The truck from North Bay started out with the necessary concrete but had a breakdown and had to return to their shop. They had added a drying agent to the concrete because of the cold weather. When they had the breakdown they added additional drying agent. This also heated the mixture.

      I had removed the basement windows from the west side of the basement then opened the exterior door at the top of the stairs at the west side of the house. This was to allow a draft to form to remove any fumes while we were working on the new floor. The truck arrived late. The extra drying agent caused the concrete to dry too quickly, which meant that we had to start finishing right away and continue through the night. We were using a gas finishing-trowel. My wife and the boys were sleeping directly above where we were working. About 2:30 AM we had stopped for a break and my wife got up and made us a coffee. She had just gone back to bed, I had the starter rope in my hand to start the machine again and heard her call my name. I knew something was wrong and ran upstairs. She was just coming down the hall from the bedroom. She looked at me and collapsed unconscious. She had stopped breathing and her eyes were all white, they had rolled up. I knew it must be carbon monoxide poisoning and commenced to give her mouth to mouth resuscitation. When I lifted my mouth to take a breath I would call help to my partner. He came up and I had him go to the boys bedroom and put them in their snowsuits. My wife came to and I lifted her and walked her to the back door. When I opened the door, I guess she took one breath and collapsed again I started mouth to mouth and she immediately regained consciousness that time. I grabbed a blanket off the couch and wrapped it around her. We all got out on the back deck and started marching around. The boys terrier dog had woke up too. There we were I was holding my wife and getting her to walk. My buddy had each of the boys by a hand and was walking them. We were walking in a circle in about 3”of fresh snow. The dog was barking all excited and following us as we went round and round. My wife came around pretty good and started to complain about the cold. So we took everyone back inside and opened up the doors and windows to air out the house. I then phoned our doctor in Sudbury to see if there was anything else I should do. He assured me there was nothing else. He also advised that it would take several weeks for the poison to get out of her system. I don’t mind saying at that point I shed a few tears. I have often thought just how lucky we were. It was a long time ago as we will have been married 60 years this fall, but I still think often of that night.

                                   AN UNSOLVED MURDER

       Near the end of July 1969 I was working day shift and patrolling in the area of Markstay - Hagar when I was dispatched to the report of a body floating in the Veuve River behind the toilets, at the roadside park off Highway 17, half way between Hagar and Markstay. On arrival I observed a body floating in a semi-upright position. The head was under the water. I took the fire axe from the trunk and cut a long pole. At that point Cpl. Bob King from Warren arrived and the two of us retrieved the body using the pole. As the body got near the shore, I reached out and grabbed the clothing and pulled the body to shore turning it over as I did so. It was somewhat shocking as the victim had his hands and feet all tied together behind his back.

     Subsequent investigation revealed the victim to be one William Turner of North Bay, Ontario. He had been the subject of a missing person report from North Bay, Ontario as of the latter part of June 1969. His car had been located in a parking lot at Sault Ste Marie, Ontario approximately 10 days after he was reported missing. There were no more reports of him until he was found in the Veuve River. Inspector Archie Ferguson of Toronto GHQ Criminal Investigation Branch was assigned to over see the investigation. An autopsy was performed and the pathologist reported the victim was deceased prior to being put in the river. Inspector Ferguson and I completed extensive investigations, between Sault Ste Marie, North Bay and Kapuskasing. Hundreds of additional hours were put any by dozens of other officers all over the north, checking hotel and motel registrations and making other inquiries. I was very impressed with Inspector Ferguson’s thoroughness. To this day I consider he as being the sharpest investigator that I ever worked with. Inspector Ferguson had several other investigations going on, however we were constantly in touch with each other and as new leads came in we would follow them up, some times together and others would be followed up by myself or Inspector Ferguson. These investigations consumed most of my time for the next couple of years. We did have some possible suspects, however we were never able to reach a satisfactory conclusion. Over the years since then there have been several Cold Case follow-ups by other investigators, all have been unsuccessful. My assessment of Inspector Ferguson was obviously seen by others as he went on in his career to reach the highest rank in the Ontario Provincial Police, that of Commissioner. He once told me that he hoped he did not have to wait until he met his maker to find out just what happened in this murder. He may know now, because he passed on August 18, 2017. I sure hope I know ahead of my passing. If anyone reading this has any information that may be of value, please come forward. There is no statute of limitation for murder. If you wish you could contact me, or your nearest Ontario Provincial Police Office. If you wish to remain anonymous then contact your nearest Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

'We called her Natalie': Family remembers murdered Sarnia woman

LONDON, ONT. — The family of a woman killed in Sarnia, Ont. is remembering her and trying to set up a future for her daughters.

Sarnia Police, EMS and Fire were called to Lee Court Thursday, Jan. 14 for a reports of a woman with serious injuries.

Natalie Bartlett, 39, was taken to hospital where she was pronounced dead.

Her partner has been charged with first-degree murder.

“Devastated is the first word that comes to mind,” says Susan Truppe, the former London-North-Centre MP who was Bartlett’s aunt.

“It was shocking when Natalie’s mom Ann got the call. She my husband’s sister.

You never should have to bury your child, let alone bury your child let alone bury your child for a senseless tragic death like this. It’s horrific and they aren’t doing well.”

Bartlett was a stay-at-home mother of two little girls.

“Isabelle, (8), and Laila, (11) were happy little girls that liked to play,” says Truppe.

“Now there are two little girls trying to make sense of why their mother is not there. It’s so very sad.”

Sarnia Ont. murder victim Natalie Bartlett (Contributed)

A pair of GoFundMe pages have been set up for the girls future.

Natalie’s brother Thomas Bartlett started one.

“Life going forward will be very difficult for them emotionally and financially,” Thomas wrote.

“If you can afford to help ease one of those burdens please donate to support Laila and Isabelle.”

The family of the girls’ father also created a fundraiser. 

“Tyler has now been tasked to act as mom and dad for the two girls,” wrote Chelsie Abraham, the girls aunt.

“Our hope is to raise $75,000 for Tyler and the children to help with child care expenses and startup education fund for the two girls.”

Along with the fundraising campaigns, the obituary reads in lieu of flowers donations can be made to London Abused Women’s Centre (LAWC).

“They’ve chosen LAWC is because Susan Truppe is the aunt of Natalie Rose Bartlett and we hope that people will remember her name,” says Megan Walker, executive director of LAWC.

“When Susan was in government was the strongest and fiercest advocate of funding services for women. She was Parliamentary Secretary to the Status of Women. We worked closely with Susan and she worked very closely with many of the women who came into our office. “

Truppe now works for Ontario Minister of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries Lisa McLeod.

“You never think it happens this close to home,” says Truppe.

“Minister McLeod and I were talking yesterday and she said the same thing. How ironic we’ve been fighting for women and girls for years both federally and provincially and it ends up I know someone who is so close to us that was tragically murdered.”

Both Walker and Truppe say they need to keep Natalie’s memory alive. They plan to designate funds given to LAWC in her name.

“We always are fighting as women’s organizations and risking so much to change the lives of women in our community,” says Walker.

“What we need is more men to come forward and fight with us, because they are ultimately the ones who will change this course of events for women.”

Truppe says Natalie grew up in Wheatley, Ont., before moving to London, then Sarnia. In her younger days she loved music, concerts, and travelling across the country.

However when she had children they became her main focus and priority.

“What I loved about Natalie is that she believed strongly in empowering women and girls. She instilled that in her two girls even though they were young. That’s very ironic that this would happen. The focus now is looking after the girls.”

The Sarnia Police Service Criminal Investigations Branch has charged her partner Joseph Dominic Dicarlo (45), of Sarnia with first degree murder. He is scheduled to appear in court Jan. 19. by video.

Unsolved Murder--$50,000 Reward

Kelly Vaine finds it difficult to celebrate Canada Day.

While many folks spent recent days marking the 150th anniversary of the nation, the Wasaga Beach woman has been thinking about her mother, Karen Woodcock, whose naked body was found slain at the side of Villiers Line in then-Otonabee Township on July 1, 1973.

“We have been suffering for 44 years not knowing what happened to our mother,” Vaine, 57, said Tuesday after Ontario Provincial Police issued a reminder about the $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible.

Woodcock, 33, left her grandfather's home and was last seen at about 4:30 a.m. at Parkhill and Reid streets waiting for a ride from a relative, Vaine said.

When that relative didn't show up at a certain time, she called them, and when they did arrive, Woodcock was gone. The mother of seven was then found clutching her purse near a grove of Maple trees at about 6:30 a.m. with her clothes nowhere to be found.

Investigators believe the woman died from a blow to the head somewhere in that area, but not right where her body was discovered.

“It's not even justice we want. It's just gone on for way too long,” Vaine said. “Forty-four years is way too long for us to wait ... if we could just get some closure, to know for sure.”

The “arduous” years that have passed since the unsolved murder and rumours surrounding it have been hard on the family, who first blamed their father – who became an alcoholic and died without knowing what happened, Vaine said.

Her mom was found by a man she knows who lived in the area, who went to a nearby farmhouse to call upon another man, who he brought to the scene before police were called, she said. “That's what bothers me ... just thinking, 'Who was it?'”

Vaine believes someone may have forced her mother, who did not hitchhike, into a vehicle. However, the fact that she was found close to her home suggests she may have got a ride before encountering a “creep” on Villiers, she said.

It is her belief that the OPP just need that key link in the chain. “I think they are just waiting for that little bit of information to tie things together.”

Perhaps someone who recently lost their spouse knows something, Vaine said, noting that the perpetrator could be dead, or in their 70s, by now.

Vaine noted the challenges that come with a case going unsolved for so long, including staffing changes within the OPP.

The reward was first issued by the OPP on Dec. 21, 2007 and Vaine, who was 13 when her mom was taken from her, hopes that the passage of time will make it more likely that someone who has all-important information will come forward.

Anyone with information about Woodcock's death is asked to contact the director of the OPP criminal investigation branch at 1-888-310-1122, 705-329-6111, their nearest police authority, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS.
