CRCC COMPLAINT R2026-007430 — AN ATTEMPT TO GET THE NATIONAL-SECURITY QUESTIONS BEFORE NSIRA AND, ABOVE ALL, TO PROTECT MYSELF AND MY FAMILY
UPDATE: UPDATE: THE MATTER HAS ALSO BEEN REPORTED IN THE UNITED STATES
In addition to my Canadian complaint and request for national-security review, I have now formally reported the Michael Martinz/CIA matter through appropriate channels within the United States Government, including directly within the Central Intelligence Agency.
I am deliberately not publishing the details of those submissions, the evidence provided, or precisely what I have asked U.S. authorities to examine.
Those details are for the appropriate authorities.
What matters for the public record is this:
The claimed Michael Martinz–CIA connection has now been formally reported on both sides of the border.
Canadian authorities have been put on notice.
United States authorities have been put on notice.
The documentary record has been preserved.
And I have taken these additional steps for one overriding reason:
To protect myself and my family while the appropriate authorities determine whether the claimed CIA connection was genuine or fabricated.
Today, September 1, 2026, I took another formal step to protect myself and my family.
I filed a new public complaint with the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP (CRCC) concerning the RCMP investigation into the alleged 2025 murder plot against me and newly obtained communications in which Michael Martinz allegedly represents himself as being affiliated with or working for the United States Central Intelligence Agency — the CIA.
The CRCC has now confirmed receipt of my complaint.
CRCC Reference: R2026-007430
I am publishing a snapshot of my complaint with this article because I want there to be a public and contemporaneous record of exactly what I reported, when I reported it, and what I have asked Canadian authorities to investigate.
This is about establishing facts.
More importantly, this is about protecting myself and my family.
THERE ARE TWO POSSIBILITIES — AND I WANT CANADIAN AUTHORITIES TO DETERMINE WHICH ONE IS TRUE
I am deliberately not stating as established fact that Michael Martinz was CIA.
I have obtained documentary communications attributed to Martinz that I believe raise that question.
There is an enormous difference between having evidence that someone claimed an intelligence affiliation and having independent confirmation that the affiliation actually existed.
That distinction matters.
So I have formally asked Canadian authorities to determine:
Was Michael Martinz genuinely connected to the CIA or another foreign intelligence organization?
Or:
Was Michael Martinz falsely representing himself as CIA?
I don’t want speculation to answer that question.
I want the evidence investigated.
WHY THIS MATTERS
This did not arise in isolation.
Information was reported to police in November 2025 concerning an alleged conspiracy to have me killed.
That resulted in an investigation by Langley RCMP Serious Crimes, file:
2025-39393
I was the alleged intended victim.
The information reportedly concerned Michael Martinz and a proposed “hitman.”
Police also became involved in assessing the threat to my safety, including a Duty to Warn concerning an alleged threat to my life.
Ultimately, the investigation resulted in no criminal charges concerning the alleged murder conspiracy.
Then came another significant development.
I subsequently obtained documentary communications attributed to Martinz in which he allegedly identifies or represents himself as being affiliated with or working for the CIA.
That raises questions I believe Canadian authorities need to answer.
Did the RCMP know about this claimed CIA affiliation?
Did investigators attempt to verify or disprove it?
Were RCMP National Security, Federal Policing, CSIS or another Canadian authority informed?
Were appropriate intelligence holdings or databases queried?
Did anyone determine whether Martinz actually had an association with a foreign intelligence service?
And perhaps most importantly:
Did information concerning a possible intelligence affiliation have any bearing whatsoever on the investigation, investigative decisions or its ultimate outcome?
I don’t know the answers to those questions.
That is precisely why I filed this complaint.
THEN MY HOME WAS FIREBOMBED
On January 22, 2026, my Castlegar home was firebombed while my daughter and I were inside.
I want to be extraordinarily clear about what I am — and am not — saying.
I am NOT alleging that Michael Martinz or the CIA firebombed my home.
I do not presently have evidence establishing that.
I included the firebombing in my CRCC complaint because it demonstrates the seriousness of the threat environment surrounding these events and why I believe the handling and assessment of the earlier information deserves independent scrutiny.
When police have previously warned someone about an alleged threat to their life and that person’s residence is subsequently attacked, I believe it is entirely reasonable to ask whether all of the earlier threat information was properly investigated, assessed, documented and escalated.
For me, this is not an academic exercise.
My family was involved.
WHY I WENT THROUGH THE CRCC
This part is important.
The ultimate objective of this particular complaint is to have the national-security dimension properly assessed.
The National Security and Intelligence Review Agency — NSIRA — is Canada’s independent review body for national-security and intelligence activities.
But because my complaint concerns how the RCMP handled the investigation and the potential national-security information associated with it, I went through the CRCC and expressly requested consideration of whether the matter falls within NSIRA’s jurisdiction.
That is why my actual complaint states:
“Most importantly, I request that the CRCC determine whether these issues concern RCMP activities closely related to national security and fall within NSIRA’s jurisdiction. If so, I request referral to NSIRA.”
That is the point of this process.
I am attempting to get the national-security questions before the body legally empowered to scrutinize them.
I am not claiming that NSIRA has already accepted this matter.
I am not claiming that the CRCC has already referred it.
As far as I presently know, neither has happened yet.
What I can establish is that the CRCC has received my complaint.
And I now have the reference number documenting it:
R2026-007430
The next step is for the complaint to be assessed.
WHAT I HAVE ASKED AUTHORITIES TO EXAMINE
I have requested examination of the RCMP’s handling of information concerning Martinz, including relevant investigative records, intelligence queries and inter-agency communications.
I want to know whether the claimed CIA affiliation was ever investigated.
I want to know whether investigators attempted to verify or disprove it.
I want to know whether the information was referred to an appropriate national-security authority.
I want to know whether RCMP National Security, Federal Policing or CSIS became involved.
I want to know whether investigators established that Martinz’s alleged CIA representations were genuine, false or simply never verified.
And I want to know whether any intelligence-related information had any bearing whatsoever on decisions made during the alleged murder-plot investigation.
Those are questions.
They are not predetermined conclusions.
I have formally asked Canada’s oversight system to find the answers.
THIS IS ABOUT CREATING A RECORD AND PROTECTING MYSELF AND MY FAMILY
There is another reason I am publishing this.
Protection — for myself and my family.
I want there to be a contemporaneous public record showing that I identified this evidence, reported it through an official Canadian oversight mechanism, requested that it be investigated and asked for its potential national-security implications to be independently assessed.
After everything my family and I have experienced, I believe documenting these concerns through the appropriate authorities and preserving the evidence is one of the most important things I can do to protect myself and my family.
If the CIA claims attributed to Martinz are false, I want that established.
If they are genuine, I want that established too.
Either answer is extraordinarily important.
What I will not do is privately sit on communications raising a potential foreign-intelligence question after everything that has already happened to me and my family.
So I have documented it.
I have reported it.
I have preserved it.
And now I am making the existence of that report public.
THE DOCUMENTARY RECORD CAN SPEAK FOR ITSELF
With this article I am publishing a snapshot of the complaint record.
Readers do not have to take my word for what I reported.
Read it for yourself... see below:
The complaint confirmation establishes that my submission was received:
Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP
Filed: September 1, 2026
Reference: R2026-007430
My request to Canadian authorities is straightforward:
Establish whether Michael Martinz’s claimed CIA affiliation was genuine or fabricated.
Establish what the RCMP knew.
Establish what they investigated.
Establish whether Canada’s national-security authorities were notified.
Establish whether any intelligence-related information affected the investigation or its outcome.
And if the matter falls within NSIRA’s jurisdiction:
REFER IT TO NSIRA AND LET CANADA’S NATIONAL-SECURITY OVERSIGHT SYSTEM EXAMINE THE EVIDENCE.
That is what I have formally asked for.
I don’t know what that investigation will ultimately establish, and I am not going to pretend that I do.
But I do know this:
The evidence has now been formally reported.
The complaint has a federal reference number.
The national-security question has expressly been raised.
And until these questions are properly answered, I intend to continue preserving the documentary record and taking lawful steps to protect myself and my family.
