How a Tiny Canadian Community Took on a Drug Dealer

How a Tiny Canadian Community Took on a Drug Dealer

In this episode of Canada Is Boring, Rhys Waters and Jesse “Two Cups” Harley dive into the wild true story of Grand Manan Island, a tiny community in New Brunswick, Canada, that lost faith in the RCMP and carried out its own brand of mob justice.

Discover how a small coastal island (population < 3,000) went to war with local crack dealer Ronnie Ross—from escalating harassment and arson to gunfire, a burned-down “drug house” on Cedar Street, and the infamous “Grand Manan Five” who became local heroes.
