The Canadian Brucellosis Incident Short Story Revised by Paul Langan Available
![]() |
A cemetery shootout in rural Alberta. Masked terrorists. A freezer full of deadly pathogens. This sounds like the plot of a Hollywood thriller— Paul Langan's first short story has been revised.
September 14th, 1995: The Day Everything Changed
Picture this: You're a mild-mannered federal safety coordinator, drowning in paperwork and training manuals. Your biggest excitement comes from ensuring government inspectors know how to ship biological specimens without breaking regulations. Then your phone rings.
"We found a freezer full of brucella cultures from the 1940s. We need to move it."
That single phone call transformed Paul Langan's boring government job into a heart-stopping race across the Canadian prairies—complete with CSIS surveillance, RCMP escorts, and a deadly confrontation that officially "never happened."
The Shocking Truth About Canada's Hidden Past
What most Canadians don't know is that during World War II, our country wasn't just supporting the Allied war effort with soldiers and supplies. Deep in classified facilities across Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec, Canadian scientists were weaponizing some of the world's most dangerous pathogens.
Brucellosis wasn't just a livestock disease—it was a biological weapon.
At Suffield Experimental Station in Alberta, researchers tested aerial delivery systems for Brucella suis, a pathogen so infectious it could incapacitate entire enemy battalions without killing them. The "humane" biological weapon.
At Grosse Île in Quebec, scientists produced 382 liters of weaponized anthrax spores—enough for 2,000 bombs.
These weren't theoretical experiments. This was Canada's secret war.
When History Collides With Modern Reality
Fast-forward fifty years. That "harmless" freezer discovered in a Saskatchewan lab? Those weren't just research specimens gathering dust. They were cultures from Canada's biological weapons program—and someone wanted them badly enough to kill for them.
Paul Langan thought he was just doing his job when he agreed to escort the freezer transport. He never imagined he'd end up:
- Briefing with CSIS agents about national security threats
- Upgrading his security clearance from Confidential to Secret
- Racing through Medicine Hat with an RCMP officer at 2 AM
- Diving for cover as bullets shattered his car windows at Seven Persons Cemetery
The Shootout That Never Happened
"My salary was $36,000 a year and I am pretty sure the job description did not include a shoot-out at a cemetery."
When masked terrorists rammed their vehicle and opened fire, Constable Brenda Haskell proved that RCMP training is worth every tax dollar. With her Stetson on the floor and long hair flowing, she emptied her Smith & Wesson at the fleeing attackers, puncturing their tire and enabling their capture just twenty minutes from the U.S. border.
The official response? It never happened.
No media reports. No public acknowledgment. Just instructions to "forget it ever occurred."
For 26 years, Paul Langan kept that promise.
Why This Story Matters Now
In our post-pandemic world, biological security has never been more relevant. Langan's story isn't just a thrilling memoir—it's a stark reminder of how easily dangerous pathogens can fall into the wrong hands.
The epilogue alone will shock you. Real documented cases of Canadian scientists attempting to smuggle biological materials across international borders. A researcher arrested at the U.S. border with Ebola virus genes in his trunk. Another scientist sentenced to two years for trying to take brucella cultures to China in a child's lunch bag.
These incidents actually made the news. Imagine what didn't.
Truth Stranger Than Fiction
"The Canadian Brucellosis Incident, September 14th, 1995 - Seven Persons Alberta" reads like a John le Carré novel, but every terrifying detail is true. Paul Langan has the security clearance paperwork, the meeting records, and the scars to prove it.
This isn't just another government conspiracy theory. This is a first-person account from inside the machine—a safety coordinator who stumbled into Canada's most classified secret and lived to tell about it.
Canadian author/historain reflected back on his time with the Canadian government and spins his first creative non-fiction short story. It has been revised and is now available.
