Aimé Simard

Carroll had been the president of the Angels' Halifax chapter from 1984 to 1990, and after he moved to Montreal, he remained closely involved in the operations of the Halifax chapter.

Carroll had a low opinion of the Halifax chapter as a "bunch of Boy Scouts" except for chapter president Mike McCrea, and regularly went back to Halifax to monitor operations.

On their way to Halifax, Simard and Kane were pulled over by the RCMP under the suspicion of smuggling drugs; though no drugs were found, it caused a "silent hit" on the RCMP's computers, which alerted officers whenever an informer has contact with the police, which led them to become curious about what Kane was doing in New Brunswick.

The Rockers operated from 1992/mid-2000s out of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Aimé Simard was born in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, and was said to be a strongly built individual, who was known to act as the tough guy.

Simard had studied accounting, management and police administration in university with the aim of becoming a policeman.

The bodybuilder Simard had an extensive record for petty crime-having 80 convictions for such offenses as shoplifting, theft and writing bouncing cheques, which precluded a police career.

After going to prison for uttering death threats, Simard moved to Montreal.

However, although Aimé Simard acted as if he was a straight man, he secretly had a male lover on the side.

The relationship was kept quiet because Dany Kane had a wife and two kids at home.

The man, Dany Kane, was also a contract killer for the Hells Angels group and the two were able to work together on a number of occasions.

Kane was a member of the Rockers, the Hells Angels' puppet club in Montreal and hoped to be promoted up to be a Hells Angel.

In November 1996, Simard began a relationship with Kane.

Simard had met Kane via an online gay dating service.

As Simard's mother was in Florida on vacation, Simard took Kane to his mother's house, where the two men had sex in the whirlpool.

Kane, who was only a Rocker, lied to Simard by saying he was a Hells Angel while Simard lied to Kane by saying he gone to prison for trying to kill a policeman.

Kane sponsored Simard into the Rockers.

Simard was the complete opposite of Kane, being described as reckless and out of control while Kane was a control freak.

As Kane was senior to Simard in the Rockers, the latter had to serve as his chauffeur, through Simard was a poor driver who twice caused accidents that smashed up Kane's cars.

In outlaw biker clubs, those members at the hang-around and prospect levels serve as virtual slaves to the full patch members, being at their beck and call, and expected to do whatever they are asked to do by the full patch members.

Simard often stayed with Kane and his wife, who had no idea of their true relationship.

Most notably, Kane who worked as an informer for the RCMP, used Simard to drive him to his meetings with RCMP handlers.

The journalists Julian Sher and William Marsden wrote that Kane "seemed to view Simard as a goofy sort of toy-somebody he could play with or employ as the need arose".

In early February 1997, Simard shot, on the streets of Quebec City, a drug dealer, who owed the Rockers some money, and his girlfriend; both were severely injured.

In February 1997, Aimé Simard and Dany Kane drove from Quebec to Halifax, in order to murder a businessman and drug dealer who owed the club money.

The pair were ordered by Nomad David "Wolf" Carroll to kill Robert McFarlane.

MacFarlane was known to be a trouble-maker who was constantly getting into bar fights and was described by one Halifax policeman as: "If you were walking a beat downtown and you saw Bob MacFarlane, you knew within hours you'd be called to that bar. Very obnoxious, very loud, very much full of himself".

Another policeman stated that Carroll had put a $25,000 contract on McFarlane's life "because he was such an asshole".

On 27 February 1997, Kane and Simard followed MacFarlane from the security business he owned, the Spy Store, to an industrial park where he wanted to show off to some friends some antique cars he owned.

MacFarlane had noticed he had been followed, and upon parking his car, got out to confront the two Rockers.

Simard opened fire with a .38-calibre handgun and wounded MacFarlane who ran away, screaming.

Simard got out of his car and followed MacFarlane, to shoot him in the neck while Kane fired two shots that missed.

Kane deliberately missed so he could tell his RCMP handlers that he had not killed MacFarlane.

Afterwards, Simard and Kane drove back to Montreal, only stopping to drop off their guns, clothing, and the stolen Nova Scotia license plates into a forest.

Unknown to Kane and Simard, the security cameras at the warehouse had recorded the killing, but the grainy footage taken at night made identification difficult.

This was Simard's first murder.

Aimé Simard (1968 – 18 July 2003) was a Canadian outlaw biker and hitman.

He was a member of the Montreal-based Rockers Motor Club, a support club for the Hells Angels.

He operated on the side as a contract killer, working for the Hells Angels and other organized crime groups in Canada.

He would later turn crown witness and inform on his club.
