At first, I tried to explain things away.

A person parked on the road could simply be someone waiting for someone.

A vehicle driving past my home could simply be a neighbour.

A strange message could be a coincidence.

Someone looking toward my house could simply have been looking in another direction.

I tried very hard not to assume the worst.

But over time, the incidents accumulated.

What made the experience increasingly frightening was not one isolated event. It was the repetition.

The Pattern Around My Home

By 2021 and into 2022, I was documenting vehicles repeatedly appearing near my home, people stopping near my driveway, people looking toward my windows and incidents that I experienced as surveillance.

One particularly disturbing incident occurred in October 2021, when I say I observed a neighbour using what appeared to be a GoPro-type camera while looking through or toward my windows. I recorded the interaction. According to my account, when I confronted him, he did not simply deny being there; instead, the conversation became confrontational, including comments about my status as a renter.

That incident became significant to me because it changed the way I understood what was happening around my home.

I was no longer simply noticing unusual vehicles.

I believed someone had deliberately brought a camera to my window.

From there, the incidents continued.

In December 2021, I documented a large white truck repeatedly travelling up and down the road outside my home, stopping, backing up and repeatedly returning. I recorded the times and described hearing what sounded to me like two-way radio communication from the vehicle.

In January and February 2022, I began documenting repeated vehicles stopping near my driveway and pointing their headlights toward my home. My report contains photographs and timestamps associated with many of these incidents.

On February 21, 2022 alone, I recorded what I described as repeated appearances of the same white SUV. According to my report, the vehicle appeared repeatedly throughout the afternoon, sometimes returning within approximately 20 to 40 minutes and stopping in approximately the same location near my home.

To me, this was no longer something I could simply dismiss.

I began keeping records because I needed something concrete.

Dates.

Times.

Photographs.

Videos.

Vehicle descriptions.

Messages.

Witnesses.

I wanted to be able to show someone what I was experiencing rather than simply telling them that I felt watched.

When My Friends Became Involved

One of the most disturbing developments was that the incidents did not always seem confined to me.

I began noticing what I experienced as interference involving people I knew.

My report describes repeated phone calls and messages that appeared to originate from or involve my contacts, including situations in which friends received communications appearing to come from me even though I had not sent them. In one example, a friend received an intimate message supposedly written by me, which I immediately denied sending.

I was particularly concerned because these communications could damage relationships.

Someone could receive a message appearing to come from me and believe that I had said something that I had never said.

The result was confusion, mistrust and fear.

My report records similar incidents involving friends and contacts over an extended period. It also identifies people who, according to my account, witnessed or experienced some of these communications.

That is when the issue became bigger than simply what was happening to me.

Other people were being pulled into it.

Threatening Messages

There were also communications that I experienced as direct threats.

On August 5, 2022, my report records a Facebook message from a person I identified as Dave Wainwright. The message referred to a "long search," Ontario and Quebec, and stated, "Game on." The following day, another message stated that the person was "gonna grab" me soon.

I took those messages seriously.

I did not know what the sender intended.

I only knew that I was receiving communications that I experienced as threatening, while at the same time documenting what I believed was surveillance around my home.

That combination changed my sense of safety.

I Asked the RCMP for Help

Between August 7 and August 15, 2022, after receiving what I describe as threatening voice and text messages and repeated unwanted calls, I contacted the RCMP Montague detachment.

I spoke with Constable Dill.

According to my report, I was asked to prepare a report and provide photographs and video footage documenting what I had been experiencing.

I intended to do exactly that.

But there was another reality that was not visible from the outside.

I was dealing with serious physical limitations affecting my neck, arms and hands. At the same time, my family was in crisis, including concerns involving my daughter.

My attention shifted from documenting the people I believed were stalking me to trying to keep my family together and help my daughter.

The complaint did not disappear because I stopped caring.

I became overwhelmed.

Constable Dill eventually followed up when he could not reach me. According to my account, he came to my home. What happened around that visit, and what followed in the neighbourhood, became another part of the story I would later document.

The Harassment Was Not Confined to One Street

As time went on, I began to notice incidents outside my immediate neighbourhood.

My report describes being followed or encountering vehicles that I believed were connected to the pattern while travelling to other locations.

In January 2023, for example, I documented an incident in which I say a vehicle followed me home after an AA meeting. I recorded the incident and described it as part of what I experienced as a recurring pattern.

In March through June 2023, I recorded what I describe as continuing electronic harassment, threatening messages and unwanted calls.

In July 2023, while visiting a friend in Summerside, I documented a barrage of unknown calls that I say continued throughout the night.

Then came August 4, 2023.

That incident would become particularly important to me because it involved police directly.

I was stopped in a church parking lot following what I understood to be an allegation that I was impaired. My account states that the allegation was false and that I was arrested and injured during the encounter.

Whatever conclusions may ultimately be reached about that incident, it became another major turning point in my relationship with law enforcement.

I was no longer simply reporting what I believed other people were doing.

I was now experiencing what I believed was mistreatment by the very authorities from whom I had sought protection.

The Geography Changed — But My Concerns Did Not

There is another important part of this story that needs to be told carefully.

I did not remain in one place forever.

I travelled between provinces.

I spent time in Ontario.

I spent time in Quebec.

I returned to PEI.

And eventually, I moved again.

Throughout this period, I continued documenting incidents involving communications, vehicles, people and circumstances that I experienced as connected to the larger pattern.

My existing report contains references to Quebec even before my later move there. It records incidents involving a friend in Quebec, communications that referenced Ontario and Quebec, and an incident involving a vehicle displaying Quebec plates.
But this is where the next part of my story needs to be told through the actual records.

I began sending formal submissions and reports to police services in different jurisdictions.

These were not simply private diary entries.

They were attempts to put my concerns before authorities.

I reported what I was experiencing.

I identified dates.

I identified locations.

I identified witnesses.

I provided photographs and videos where I had them.

I preserved communications.

And I continued trying to get someone to look at the totality of what I was reporting rather than treating every incident as though it existed in isolation.

The Question That Stayed With Me

Eventually, I was left with a question that has followed me for years:

What happens when a person reports a pattern, but every individual incident is treated separately?

One vehicle can be a coincidence.

One strange phone call can be spam.

One threatening message can be dismissed as an isolated communication.

One person appearing near a home may have an innocent explanation.

But what happens when a person says these things are happening repeatedly, documents them over years, identifies witnesses, and reports them to different police services?

That is the question I want this blog to explore.

Not by asking readers to accept every conclusion I have reached.

But by putting the record in one place.

The dates.

The reports.

The photographs.

The messages.

The witnesses.

The police responses.

The effect on my children.

The effect on my friends.

And the consequences of trying to seek help while believing that the people and institutions responsible for protecting you are not adequately responding.

My story eventually moved beyond PEI.

It moved through Ontario.

And then it followed me into the next chapter of my life in Quebec.

That is where the FIR submissions become important.
