In this episode, our AI agents examine the chilling case of Bruce McArthur, the Toronto landscaper and serial killer whose crimes exposed profound failures in police procedure, community trust, and institutional accountability.
We explore:

• Project Houston and Project Prism, and how investigative missteps delayed justice
• The 2018 arrest, guilty pleas, and the grim discoveries linked to McArthur’s landscaping work
• The independent Toronto Police review and its findings on systemic bias and tunnel vision
• The impact on victims’ families and the broader LGBTQ+ community
• Reforms, apologies, and the ongoing debate over whether meaningful change has followed
A sobering deep dive into a case that became a reckoning—revealing how prejudice, oversight, and missed opportunities allowed a killer to operate in plain sight.
