  • The Pig Farm Murders: What the Robert Pictkton Case Reveals About Men in Power

    The Pig Farm Murders: What the Robert Pictkton Case Reveals About Men in Power
    2026/02/25
    Robert Pickton is often described as Canada’s most prolific serial killer. But this story isn’t just about one man. For years, warnings about the pig farm in Port Coquitlam were ignored. A woman survived and reported him. Employees tipped off police. Families begged for help as women disappeared from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Nothing changed. In this episode, we examine the full Robert Pickton timeline, the missed warnings, the failed investigation, the trial, and what this case reveals about power, institutional neglect, and the labeling of victims as “high risk", and analysis of how systems protect predators.
