Canadian border agents stopped and searched Gabriel Wortman numerous times from 2010 to 2020, as the N.S. gunman's frequent trips abroad put him on a border watch list. They found nothing.
The document is part of a trove of material released by the Mass Casualty Commission last week as it wrapped up its public hearings into the killings and their aftermath.
On March 19, 2010, Wortman was selected for secondary examination when he flew into Halifax's Stanfield International Airport. This was the first time he had been flagged under the frequent flyer project. Nothing was found. The documents released to the MCC included a statement from Michael Klenavic, a CBSA intelligence officer who oversaw Project Frequent Flyer. He took part in one of the secondary exams for Wortman and Banfield.
Wortman next popped up on CBSA's radar in April 2016. This time, it was at the Canada-U.S. border crossing in Woodstock, N.B. An American border agent called the Canadians to say he felt Wortman was undervaluing four motorcycles that he was importing from the U.S. He and Wortman opted to go back to the U.S. and leave the items there. When they returned to the border, they were searched again, but nothing was found.On Aug. 16, 2016 at the St. Stephen, N.B., crossing.On Nov. 9, 2016, again at Woodstock.
