In the first installment of this two-part deep dive, Valerie and Kyle trace the dark and disturbing path that led Denis Lortie to the doors of Quebec’s National Assembly. From a childhood steeped in trauma and abuse to a military career marked by alienation and paranoia, Part 1 explores the psychological unraveling of a man who believed he was being controlled by the government—and who would soon act on that belief in a violent and unforgettable way.

🧠 This episode discusses themes including child abuse, mental health struggles, and violence. Listener discretion is advised.

In this episode of Canadian Creepies, we delve into one of Canada's most disturbing and brutal cases—an urban nightmare that gripped Ontario in the 1970s. Christian Magee, later dubbed “The Mad Slasher,” left a trail of violence and confusion in his wake, targeting strangers in chillingly public spaces. But beyond the horror lies a deeper story—one of untreated mental illness, systemic failure, and a society unequipped to respond.

As we unravel Magee’s background, his institutional history, and the terrifying series of attacks, we draw haunting parallels between the mental health system of the 1970s and the one we navigate today. Despite decades of progress, cracks remain—visible in more recent incidents like the 2024 Vancouver stabbing. Through these connections, we explore the recurring patterns of tragedy: how untreated mental illness, lack of community resources, and delayed intervention continue to fuel preventable violence.

This episode isn’t just about a killer. It’s about the systems that allowed him to slip through—and the uncomfortable truth that, in many ways, we're still catching up.
