Winnipeg Police Officer Threatens Civilian and Gets PROMOTED??

Richard Comte is an officer with the Winnipeg Police Service who initially began working for the force in 2002. In 2015, he found himself in quite a mess which he created all on his own. He and officer Andrew Tighe -Yes the same Andrew Tighe who was caught drunk driving- were responsible for investigating a sexual assault that had occurred at the Green Brier Inn which occurred in October of that same year. Richard’s unethical, threatening, problematic and questionable attempts at obtaining video surveillance footage would later come under fire, and he would be the subject of a LERA (Law Enforcement Review Agency) investigation and lawsuit filed by Jonathan Singh, owner of the Green Brier Inn. In this episode we discuss the details of the incident leading up to legal action taken as well as Richard’s general messiness behind the scenes throughout the process.

Josiah Henson is held in high regard in both Black Canadian and American history, despite being somewhat of a sellout. Born into enslavement in America, he was known on the plantation as a hard worker, and trustworthy. For this reason, he was able to work both on and off the property. He would often leave by himself, and for a long time made no attempt to run away. At one point, he even bartered his freedom with his enslaver, in exchange for helping over a dozen Black folks remain enslaved. During the latter part of his life, it becomes clear that he worked overtime in an attempt to make up for his previous harmful actions. Yet, despite his best efforts, he became the sole inspiration for the Uncle Tom stereotype. In this episode we dive into who Josiah Henson was, his life's work, a bit about the Dawn Settlement, as well the origins of the Uncle Tom stereotype, before rounding out with my thoughts as always.

On April 11th, 2023, Paige Theriault-Fischer, the woman who murdered Hodan Hashi, had all charges stayed. The statement put out by the prosecution's office makes it clear that they have no intentions of reopening the case, or charging Paige with anything. Less than six months after stealing a life, Paige is free and clear; she gets to go on with the rest of her life as if nothing happened, meanwhile the Hashi's lives are permanently altered. I had the privilege of heading from the Hashi family directly, through Hodan's sister Fartun. Her input, and her family's input is included throughout, and there is exclusive information within this episode that has not been shared elsewhere. This is the third update in Hodan's case where everything that has gone on in 2023 is covered in depth. I will continue to post updates as the case progresses. Please make sure to follow the Hashi's on their social platforms, donate and share their go-fund-me, and participate in their email campaign to try and get charges against Paige reinstated.

Marie Joseph Angelique is hands down one of the most misunderstood women in Canadian history. She was enslaved at a young age in Portugal before being forcibly transported to Montreal. Marie knew that her enslavement was wrong and immoral. She regularly rebelled in every way that she could and would admit to everything she did, without hesitation. She was the living embodiement of rebellion, and white Montrealers despised her for it. When the great Montreal fires of 1734 occurred, everyone was quick to blame Angelique, but she maintained her innocence. No one believed her, and she was tortured until she gave a coerced confession in order to end her suffering.   Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/girlyouhaventheard   Inquiries: [email protected]   Become a Channel Member For Exclusive Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZHUxo1BIezsFxCeGNeysqA/join    Tip Me: Paypal.me/JaydaWayda444     Check Out My Blog: Black Women Are Always Blamed For Things We Didn’t Do | Marie-Joseph Angélique | by Jayda Hope | Girl, You Haven't Heard?? | Feb, 2023 | Medium Find Girl, You Haven't Heard on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/girl-you-havent-heard-true-crime-black-history/id1585227039    Find Girl, You Haven't Heard on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/31X49pkXs4BgFiowYJQReP

Viola was an extremely successful business woman who did everything in her power to propel Black women forward during a time period when they were intentionally being left behind. Viola Desmond was one of the many Black women who bravely and actively fought Canadian segregation, in a time where many were denying the fact that it even existed. When she eventually made her way to the Roseland Theatre, one of the many places in Nova Scotia that had unofficial segregation, she sat in the whites only section on the main floor as she was nearsighted. When she was told she needed to go to the balcony and sit with her people, she refused. The police were then called. They violently, and aggressively removed Viola from the theatre, injuring her. She was then jailed, and charged with defrauding the provincial government of Nova Scotia. Viola used this as an opportunity to shed light on the realities of being a Black woman in Nova Scotia, and the regular horrors they were subject to.  Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/girlyouhaventheard    Inquiries: [email protected]    Become a Channel Member For Exclusive Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZHUxo1BIezsFxCeGNeysqA/join Tip Me: Paypal.me/JaydaWayda444    Check Out My Blog: https://medium.com/@jayda.hope.biz/the-blackburns-created-the-underground-railroad-554f1ec13085  Find Girl, You Haven't Heard on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/girl-you-havent-heard-true-crime-black-history/id1585227039    Find Girl, You Haven't Heard on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/31X49pkXs4BgFiowYJQReP

In September of 1996, 15-year-old Melanie left her friend’s home at around 2AM to make the 10 minute walk home. While walking home, she vanished without a trace. While public pressure was high, it seemed as if everything was being done to bring closure to her family. Once the public pressure lessened, the Ethier family was left doing the majority of the work themselves, of course with community support. Police ignored countless eyewitness testimonies that could have led them closer to finding Melanie, figuring out what happened to her, or who took her. She has been missing longer than I have been alive, and yet, no one has a solid idea of what happened to her.

Carrie Best grew up in Nova Scotia in a time where racism, segregation, and controlling stereotypes ran the province. Her parents were never given the opportunity to pursue formal education, and so they encouraged all of their children to go after what they wanted, regardless of the obstacles that were placed in their way due to systemic racism. Carrie's business and education prospects were extremely limited to 'women's work', but she refused to be forced into that box, she was a talented writer and storyteller so she pursued that full force. She and her son created The Clarion, Nova Scotia's first Black owned and operated newspaper. Carrie continued to write, host her own radio show, and advocate on behalf of the Black community in anyway that she could.

Thornton and Lucie Blackburn were an enslaved couple who changed both Canadian and American history forever. They met while enslaved, fell in love, got married and managed to escape not once, but twice after finding out their enslaver had plans to permanently separate them. Everything they did was rooted in love and care for themselves, each other, and their Black community. Once they made their way to Toronto, they created the first Taxi company to exist on 'Canadian' soil. They were extremely financially successful, and used all of their success to support the same community which helped them experience freedom. If not for an archaeological dig carried out by Karolyn Smardz-Frost in 1985, we would never know about their contributions to Canadian history, American history, and the establishment of the underground railroad.

Marie Marguerite Rose was enslaved her whole life, but she was enslaved in Canada for two decades. The Loppinot family whom enslaved her, forced her to work as a house slave. She cleaned, she cooked and she took care of their 12 children, all against her will. After 19 years of enslavement, she was set free by her enslaver but the reason why is unknown. In two years of freedom, Marie fell in love, she got married, she rented a home with an Indigenous man -who had also recently been freed from enslavement-, and ran a successful business. At this time, this was a huge deal because women were not allowed to conduct business, AND Marie could not read or write. In two years of freedom, she was able to accomplish far more than she could have ever dreamed. The Canadian government continue to praise and uplift her accomplishments while intentionally ignoring the role that they played in her enslavement, and ultimately her oppression.

In an effort to build up the population in Canada in the late 1700’s, the Canadian government allowed white folks from all over to bring their ‘property’ into Canada, and do what they pleased with it. This included stolen, enslaved Africans. Chloe Cooley was one of the first recorded women in Canadian history to publicly oppose, and resist her enslaver. The Canadian government acted appalled at Adam Vrooman’s public abuse of his ‘property’, and so they were quite literally shamed into ending the practice of enslavement, but they did so in a way that protected the rights of the enslavers and reminded stolen Africans that their lives were meaningless if not owned by a white British loyalist.   Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/girlyouhaventheard  Inquiries: [email protected] Tip Me: Paypal.me/JaydaWayda444 Become a Channel Member For Exclusive Perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZHUxo1BIezsFxCeGNeysqA/join  Find Girl, You Haven't Heard on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/girl-you-havent-heard-true-crime-black-history/id1585227039  Find Girl, You Haven't Heard on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/31X49pkXs4BgFiowYJQReP
