ND EP: 30 - The Lennoxville Biker Massacre: Five Killed at a Quebec Clubhouse
Note sull'episodio
In 1985, five members of a Quebec biker chapter were summoned to what sounded like a routine internal meeting in Lennoxville. They arrived expecting discipline or discussion. What happened instead was a planned internal purge—quiet, controlled, and final.
Episode 30 breaks down how leadership moved from correction to containment, what came out in court, who was charged, and why Lennoxville became a turning point that echoes later in Canadian biker violence—including parallels to the Shedden massacre.
