Last week one of the main suspects in the forgery of Norval Morrisseau’s art and legacy died. Norvals own son, Christian Morrisseau. Dead. Gone. For good....What a disgrace of a legacy. I was told that he would be cooperating with the Thunder Bay police investigation. It looks like that won’t be happening now. Congratulations to the Thunder Bay police and OPP for yet again, fucking that up. They should all be embarrassed of themselves. Talk about gross negligence and indeed you can add the disgrace of the Norval Morrisseau estate into that equation.
This whole thing has become an unfolding train wreck. From the players on both sides of the coin I’ve seen so much go wrong in this investigation. From the lies and deceptions of Gabe Vadas, Don and Paul Robinson from kinsmen Robinson gallery in Toronto, lies and deceit of Joe Mcleod, the scams of Randy Potter auctions, Jim white publishing fraud, Morrisseau family foundation scam, dysfunctional Morrisseau researcher in John Zemanovich, white cultural appropriator in Ritchie Sinclair, losers like Joe Otavnik and Ugo Matulic, Scumbags and rapists like Gary Lamont and a whole host of shady art galleries across Canada who sold and dealt fraudulent Morrisseau art to countless unsuspecting Canadians and people around the world. What a scene of garbage really...
And then you have guys like this Det. Jason Rybak of the Thunder Bay police. A false prophet in my books. He came rolling into my world more than 2 years ago now telling me that this whole thing would be wrapped up in 6 months. Fucking bullshit. It’s been several months now going on year 2 waiting for those results. With all the turmoil up there in Thunder Bay in regards to their continual problems in racism, discrimination and their genocidal policies in policing on stolen Indian land we can understand why the wheels of justice simply haven’t been moving properly. Their whole operation is fucked up. They don’t communicate well, they stall the process of justice and pass the buck around hoping someone will eventually do something. It’s absolutely gross dealing with the colonizer. Period.
