New reporting has revealed a former criminal intelligence analyst for the RCMP classified New Brunswick energy protesters as “violent Aboriginal extremists” while also serving as admin on a group for current and former Mounties that included racist remarks

Some of the analyst’s public work focused on anti-fracking protests led by people in Elsipogtog First Nation near Rexton. APTN alleges that while Tim O’Neil was writing reports for RCMP leadership, he was also an admin on the "RCMP Mates" Facebook group
