🙏🚔 The Curious Case of James McFaddin: Pastor, RCMP Chaplain, and Mayor’s Husband

Let’s connect some dots in Castlegar, BC—because they paint a picture of what happens when politics, religion, and policing all live under the same roof. Literally.

🙋 Who is James McFaddin?

James McFaddin wears multiple hats. He’s a former pastor. He’s the current chaplain for the Castlegar RCMP. And most notably, he is the husband of Castlegar Mayor Maria McFaddin. If that name sounds familiar, it should. Maria is not only the political head of the town—she and James used to lead a church congregation together in Castlegar.

But the story gets even cozier.

James is also the former brother-in-law of Svetlana Rilkoff, a woman at the centre of multiple controversies in town. Svetlana was previously married to Maria’s brother, and let’s just say… things have been complicated ever since.

💰 Who Pays James McFaddin?

While no longer pastoring full time, James now serves as the RCMP chaplain, a position in which he provides spiritual guidance to the local police. For this role, he’s paid by none other than Sgt. Monty Taylor, the Detachment Commander of the Castlegar RCMP. That’s right—the same Sgt. Monty Taylor who reports to the City of Castlegar… whose mayor is James’s wife.

So, to recap:

• James McFaddin is paid by the RCMP.
• The RCMP are overseen and funded by the municipal government.
• The mayor of that municipal government is his wife.
• And the residents’ taxes—including mine—pay for all of it.

That’s one tidy circle of influence.

🐕‍🦺 Barking Up the Wrong Tree?

If you thought this was just a sleepy BC town story, think again.

It turns out Sgt. Monty Taylor—yes, the same one who signs James McFaddin’s cheques—also holds an open criminal harassment file against Svetlana Rilkoff’s current partner, Danny Keith Martin. The case involves a barking dog, escalating disputes, and well-documented friction.

What are the odds?

So here we have the mayor’s husband, who:

• Used to pastor with her,
• Is tied to the complainant’s ex-family through marriage,
• Is employed as chaplain to the RCMP,
• Is paid by the officer investigating his extended family’s drama.

All happening in a small town with a population under 10,000.

🧩 Too Close for Comfort?

This isn’t just a case of awkward family dinners. It’s a textbook example of conflict of interest, power entanglement, and institutional capture—all dressed up as “community leadership.”

When the pastor blesses the police, the police report to the mayor, and the mayor shares a bed with the pastor—it raises serious questions about independence, neutrality, and accountability.

Does this sound like a town where residents can get a fair shake when dealing with the RCMP or City Hall? Or does it sound like the deck is stacked for insiders and their extended family?

👀 Final Thoughts

In any other town, this level of entanglement between church, police, and politics would trigger an inquiry—or at the very least a raised eyebrow. In Castlegar, it’s business as usual.

But we’re not in any other town. We’re in a place where power protects power, and the same few names keep coming up again and again.

Stay tuned.

There’s more coming.
