Update: Saturday, August 15, 2025 – 9am ET

The response has been outstanding — many drafts are already reaching the defence team, showing we are united and determined.

SEND YOUR DRAFTS NOW – and remember this is the sentencing. Your drafts should stress the reasons why you believe the judge should not penalize Detective Grus. For instance…

  • A heavy sentence will cause police officers to be deterred from self-initiating any investigations because they see that their on duty, good faith diligence might destroy them, their careers, their families.
  • A heavy sentence will undermine the public’s faith in policing, in the independence and non-political nature of the police.
  • Any other reason you can think of.

This project is strong, growing, and will make a real difference.

Urgent Call to Canadians, including Serving & Former Police Officers

Affidavit Testimony Needed for Sentencing of Ottawa Police Detective Helen Grus

Sentencing Hearing: September 3 to 5, 2025, Kanata, Ontario

Affidavits Needed Now: Canadians Must Speak for Detective Helen Grus – and for All Canadian Police Officers

This is an urgent call to Canadians – including serving and retired police officers – to support Detective Helen Grus by preparing a simple sworn affidavit for her upcoming sentencing hearing.

The defence team will help ensure your affidavit is relevant, admissible, and properly formatted. It’s a straightforward process – and your voice is needed not only to support Detective Grus, but to stand against a dangerous precedent that threatens the independence and integrity of every police officer in Canada.

(Note: PDF Copy of this Article download here)

A heavy sentence – or firing – will send a chilling message to all serving officers: do not use your professional judgment, experience, or investigative initiative to pursue crimes that carry “political and societal ramifications’ or involve ‘public officials’ as suspects. 

If you do, you too may be charged, convicted, and professionally destroyed.

Background

While on duty in January 2022, Ottawa Police Detective Helen Grus – a respected member of the unit responsible for investigating infant deaths occurring outside of hospitals – began looking into a troubling spike in unexplained infant deaths, reported to be three times higher than normal. She gathered information, reviewed police records related to the deaths, and began considering whether the mothers’ COVID-19 vaccination status might be a relevant factor.

Like thousands of Canadian police officers, Detective Grus had previously been commended for taking initiative and self-starting investigations. Every day, officers across the country independently initiate criminal and other investigations – without needing prior approval.

But in February 2022, Detective Grus was suspended, investigated, and later charged and convicted with ‘Discreditable Conduct’ under the Ontario Police Services Act.

The written Tribunal decision states that Detective Grus was convicted for self-initiating an investigation without permission “due to the political and societal ramifications” of her inquiries. The written decision also found her guilty of “unauthorized criminal negligence inquiries on public officials.”

In other words, the Tribunal found that even though Detective Grus made her inquiries while on duty, and believed she was fulfilling her lawful responsibilities under her Oath of Office – she (and all police officers) must now ask for permission before investigating crimes that have “political and societal ramifications”, and crimes potentially committed by “public officials.”

Why This Matters to All Canadians

The case of Detective Helen Grus is no longer just about one officer. It is about whether police in Canada remain free to follow the evidence wherever it leads – or whether politics now dictates which crimes can be investigated, and which cannot.

The Tribunal’s written decision has established a dangerous and far-reaching precedent: that police officers must seek permission before investigating potential crimes involving government officials or matters with “political and societal ramifications.” This strikes at the very heart of police independence and the rule of law.

If this precedent stands:

  • Investigations involving powerful individuals or politically sensitive topics may be shut down before they begin.
  • Frontline officers will hesitate to act on their training, experience, and judgment for fear of being disciplined or fired.
  • The public’s trust in law enforcement as an impartial institution will be further eroded.

Canadians must understand: this is not a local labour or internal discipline issue. It is a national concern involving constitutional principles, the impartial application of justice, and the core function of policing in a democratic society.

The sentencing of Detective Grus presents a final opportunity for the Tribunal to recognize the public interest and avoid compounding the injustice. That is why your sworn affidavit matters – not just for one officer’s fate, but for the future of accountable policing in Canada where police officers – not political influence or interference – direct investigations and outcomes.

Grounds for Sentencing Submissions

Detective Helen Grus has already been convicted by the internal tribunal. The upcoming hearing on September 3–5, 2025, will determine the penalty.

Under Ontario law, and in line with principles of natural justice and sentencing in police discipline cases, members of the public may submit sworn affidavits for consideration at the sentencing phase.

These affidavits can address a wide range of legally recognized and relevant factors, including:

  • The public interest in maintaining confidence in the police
  • The seriousness and nature of the misconduct (in this case, an officer investigating infant deaths while on duty and in good faith)
  • Detective Grus’s service record, commendations, and prior conduct
  • The impact of a penalty on the officer, her family, and future police conduct.
  • Detective Grus has already personally spent $400,000+ in legal fees – despite acting in the line of duty. This is a heavy penalty in itself.
  • Whether a harsh sentence would deter other police officers from doing their duty and obeying their oath in politically sensitive situations
  • Whether the penalty would be consistent with similar cases, or disproportionately harsh
  • The broader chilling effect on police independence and investigative integrity.
  • The Tribunal’s discretion to impose no penalty at all – including a reprimand or warning

You do not need to have personally known Detective Grus to make a relevant contribution. Your affidavit might express:

  • Your professional opinion as a serving or retired officer, lawyer, or health care worker
  • Your concern as a parent, citizen, or member of the public
  • Your support for the principle that police must be free to investigate all potential crimes – even when politics or public officials are involved

Affidavits must be truthful, respectful, and focused on sentencing issues – not on re-arguing the facts of the case. (An appeal will be filed, but this is not the time to argue it.)

The Grus legal team will assist with formatting and legal relevance. What matters is that your voice is heard – and that the Tribunal sees that Canadians are watching.

Who Can Submit an Affidavit?

Anyone can submit a sworn affidavit for consideration at Detective Helen Grus’s sentencing hearing.

You do not need to be a lawyer, police officer, or expert witness. The Tribunal should hear from Canadians of all backgrounds and from every part of the country – not just from Ontario or Ottawa. A single-page affidavit from an ordinary Canadian living far from the capital could tip the scales between Detective Grus being fired – or receiving no penalty at all.

What matters is that your testimony is truthful, relevant to sentencing, and offered in good faith.

The following categories of people might want to participate:

* Serving or retired police officers and concerned citizens

— who understand the importance of investigative discretion and the risks of political interference in policing

* Former prosecutors, judges, or legal professionals

— who can speak to legal norms, due process, proportionality, and precedent

* Medical professionals, scientists, or researchers

— who can address the importance of evidence-based investigation, institutional accountability, or systemic oversight by independently-operating public employees.

* Vaccine-injured individuals and bereaved families

— who can speak to the importance of open, independent, and politically untainted police investigations

* Parents and concerned citizens

— who are alarmed by the precedent being set and its broader implications for child protection, law enforcement, and democratic oversight

* Journalists, academics, ethicists, and historians

— who can contextualize the public interest, the erosion of police independence, or similar past abuses of institutional power

* Anyone who believes this matter is too important for them to remain silent

You do not need to comment on every legal point. A short, honest statement of your perspective – even a single page of a few paragraphs – may be all that’s needed to make an impact.

The Grus legal team will review all draft affidavits BEFORE THEY ARE SWORN to ensure they are admissible, properly formatted, and useful to the Tribunal.

What to Include in Your Affidavit – Template

Your affidavit doesn’t need to be long or complicated. Even one page can make an impact.

The goal is to provide truthful, relevant evidence that the Tribunal can consider when deciding what penalty—if any—should be imposed on Detective Helen Grus.

Here’s a simple outline you can follow:

  1. Who You Are
  • Full name, city or town, and province. Exact address not required in the affidavit as long as the legal team knows it.
  • Brief personal or professional background
  • If something in your background gives you a special perspective on the case, please include that too.

(e.g., “I am a retired police officer with 25 years of service in Alberta”; “I am a mother of three and a concerned citizen in Nova Scotia”; “I am injured by the vaccines that Detective Grus was investigating”; “I lost my son, brother to the vaccines that Detective Grus was investigating.”)

  1. Why the Grus sentencing matters to you
  • You do not need to know Detective Grus personally, or even have been aware of the case until recently. Perhaps you are just hearing of it now.
  • Simply explain why this case matters to you. Some examples, but there are many more and more personal to you…
    • As a citizen concerned about justice and police independence
    • As a professional who understands the risk of political interference
    • As someone affected by vaccine injury or loss, and concerned about whether police can do their jobs without fear
    • As a parent worried about child safety and the erosion of police discretion
  1. Your Main Message
  • Express, in your own words, why you believe the Tribunal should impose no penalty, or the minimum penalty available (e.g., a reprimand or written warning)
  • You may wish to refer to:
    • The danger of chilling police initiative
    • The fact that Detective Grus was on duty, acting in good faith
    • Her prior commendations and public service
    • The excessive financial and emotional cost she has already borne
    • The public interest in protecting investigative independence
    • The importance of not punishing officers for following evidence
    • The risk that a heavy sentence would undermine public confidence in policing – and signal that officers may be punished for pursuing evidence that challenges politically established narratives or involves powerful institutions
  1. Closing Statement
  • Reaffirm that your statement is made truthfully, voluntarily, and in good faith
  • State that you respectfully submit your affidavit for the Tribunal’s consideration

Keep in Mind:

  • This is not the time to argue that the Tribunal made a legal error or to re-litigate the case. That will be addressed on appeal.
  • Stick to sentencing-related topics: character, fairness, proportionality, and public interest
  • The Grus legal team will help ensure your draft meets legal requirements before you swear it

You can email your draft to the legal team using the instructions in the next section. They’ll assist with formatting and guide you through the process of having it sworn before a notary or commissioner.

How to Submit Your Affidavit (Step-by-Step)

Submitting your affidavit is a straightforward process. The Grus legal team will assist at each stage to make sure your testimony is properly formatted, legally admissible, and ready for submission to the Tribunal.

Follow these steps:

Step 1: Familiarize Yourself with the Case

Before writing your affidavit, read the background information provided in this article, and in various media – including articles listed at the ‘Detective Grus Case’ page of this website.

Detective Grus Case Page Here

You could also read the written decision of the Tribunal. The sections where the Tribunal officer states that officers should ask for permission before investigating crimes that have “political and societal ramifications” or involving “public officials” is on page 28.

Decision-with-Reasons-Det-Grus

Review the list of acceptable sentencing topics and decide what issue(s) you want to speak to – such as Detective Grus’s character, the chilling effect on police, the public interest in police independence, and any other sentencing factor you’ve seen discussed publicly or that you believe the Tribunal should consider.

Step 2: Draft Your Affidavit Using the Above Template

Use the above template to guide you through what to include – your name, background, main message, and closing statement. Don’t worry about any formatting or legal header as the Grus lawyers will format it all for you.

Keep it honest and to the point. One or two pages is usually enough. You can write it in plain language. No need to be formal or legalistic. It’s your affidavit, not anyone else’s.

Step 3: Email Your Draft to the Grus Legal Team

Send your unsigned draft affidavit by email to the Grus legal team using the subject line:

They will witness your signature and administer the oath or affirmation.

Step 6: Scan and Return the Signed Affidavit via Email

Scan or photograph the signed affidavit and email it back to the legal team at the same address.

Make sure your scan is legible and complete. The lawyer who witnessed your affidavit may scan it for you and email it directly to you and Grus legal team. Most law offices are set up to assist you with that in about two minutes.

Deadline Reminder – ASAP

Send your draft affidavit immediately. Every day counts and the sooner it is received, the stronger the impact.

Time is needed for legal review, formatting, and swearing. The Grus legal team will submit affidavits as soon as possible prior to the hearing.

Each of us can make this happen!

Note: I, Donald Best, am not an agent or representative of the Grus legal team. I am publicizing this urgent need for sentencing affidavit evidence from Canadians. I am not involved in reviewing submissions, vetting witnesses, or forwarding communications to legal counsel. All affidavits and questions must be sent directly to the Grus defence team as directed above.

Arrest Liberal MP Paul Chiang for Criminal Counselling of Kidnapping

Ex-Police Officer Chiang Knew The Law

In January 2025, Liberal Member of Parliament and former York Regional Police Sergeant Paul Chiang publicly counselled supporters of the Chinese Communist Party to abduct Conservative candidate Joe Tay and deliver him to the Chinese Embassy in exchange for a $1 million bounty.

The threat was not theoretical or a joke. The Chinese regime has issued a warrant for Tay’s arrest due to his pro-freedom videos, filmed and published from Canada. Chiang’s incitement to have a Canadian citizen kidnapped on Canadian soil for foreign powers is a direct violation of Canadian criminal law—and a dangerous escalation of foreign interference in our democracy.

Paul Chiang served as a police officer for 28 years. He retired as a York Regional Police Sergeant in 2020 and knows full well that counselling an abduction is a serious Criminal Code offence.

Counselling a Crime in Canada

In Canadian law, you don’t need to address a specific person to be guilty of counselling a crime. Broadcasting the encouragement to a general audience is enough, provided two conditions are met:

1.The message is deliberate and intended to encourage the offence.

2.The offence being counselled is serious and clearly defined in the Criminal Code.

This principle is upheld in precedent, most notably:

R. v. Hamilton, [2005] 2 S.C.R. 432 (opens in new tab)

Hamilton sold email packages with instructions for credit card fraud and bomb-making. He was convicted of counselling fraud and mischief—even though he never communicated with specific individuals, and no crimes were proven to have occurred.

Key takeaway from the Supreme Court:

“Counselling” can occur even where the person being counselled is unknown or never acts—as long as the accused intended their words to encourage the offence and it is reasonably foreseeable someone could act on it.

Criminal Code Provisions

Section 464 – Counselling an Uncommitted Offence

Even if no one follows through, it’s still a crime to counsel an indictable offence:

464(a):

“Everyone who counsels another person to commit an indictable offence is, if the offence is not committed, guilty of an indictable offence and liable to the same punishment…”

This applies to public speeches, videos, blogs, or social media posts encouraging serious offences like abduction or forcible confinement.

Section 22 – Counselling Committed Offences

If someone acts on the counselling—even in a different manner than originally suggested—the counsellor is legally a party to the crime and fully criminally liable.

Section 279 – Kidnapping

279(1):

“Every person commits an offence who kidnaps a person with intent:

(a) to confine or imprison them;

(b) to transport them out of Canada;

(c) to hold them for ransom…”

Penalty: Indictable offence, punishable by life imprisonment.

The Rule of Law Demands Criminal Charges

Time to Act

Paul Chiang’s public incitement to kidnap a Canadian citizen for a hostile foreign power is a textbook case of counselling a serious crime. The law is clear. His status as a sitting MP and former police sergeant only aggravates the offence.

It’s time for law enforcement to do their job—no special treatment, no political protection.

Paul Chiang must be arrested and criminally charged.

Trump Defends Christians – Trudeau Fuels Anti-Christian Hate

Trump’s Executive Order: A War on Anti-Christian Bias

Across the Western world, Christians are under attack. In a bold move to combat hostility toward Christians by United States government institutions, President Donald Trump signed an executive order on February 6, 2025, titled “Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias.”

The order establishes a Task Force within the Department of Justice led by Attorney General Pam Bondi – to investigate and eliminate discrimination against Christians in federal institutions, address targeted legal actions against Christians, and put an end to what Trump calls a “war on Christianity” in the United States.

While Trump’s new administration is taking active steps to protect Christians, their faith and institutions, Canada has moved in the opposite direction. Under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, anti-Christian sentiment has been encouraged and promoted by Trudeau, his Liberal Party colleagues, government-paid legacy media, and by governments and institutions at all levels.

Biden’s Legacy of Christian Persecution

Trump’s executive order explicitly condemns the persecution of Christians – citing Biden government-driven legal harassment, unjust prosecutions, and targeted actions against Christians and Christian organizations.

The order also directly addresses the FBI’s 2023 memo labeling Catholic groups as potential domestic terrorists, making it clear that federal agencies must not single out Christians for their declared faith, beliefs, and peaceful expressions of their faith.

President Trump declared:

“The previous Administration engaged in an egregious pattern of targeting peaceful Christians, while ignoring violent, anti-Christian offenses. The Biden Department of Justice sought to squelch faith in the public square by bringing Federal criminal charges and obtaining in numerous cases multi-year prison sentences against nearly two dozen peaceful pro-life Christians for praying and demonstrating outside abortion facilities…

At the same time, Catholic churches, charities, and pro-life centers sought justice for violence, theft, and arson perpetrated against them, which the Biden Department of Justice largely ignored. After more than 100 attacks, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning this violence and calling on the Biden Administration to enforce the law.”

Trudeau’s Canada: Where Church Burnings Are Justified 

Trudeau: Burnings “understandable”

Contrast President Trump’s order with Canada, where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his government have presided over a climate of escalating hostility toward Christianity—most notably during the church burnings and vandalism that followed the 2021 Residential Schools “mass graves” hoax.

In 2021, over 100 Christian churches across Canada were burned or vandalized, largely in response to false claims that “mass graves” of Indigenous children had been discovered at former residential school sites. Despite the lack of a single exhumed body (even to now 2025), Trudeau and the media pushed the narrative as true and proven without any evidence. When asked about the destruction of churches, Trudeau justified and inflamed the violence by stating that while attacks on churches were “unacceptable,” he also understood the anger behind them.

“Trudeau condemned the actions of all Christians and churches during the founding of Canada – justifying violence and destruction in conjunction with his ‘understandable’ rhetoric. He knew what he was doing.”

Harsha Walia “Burn (Christian Churches) all down”

Other Canadian public figures went even further. Harsha Walia, then the head of the BC Civil Liberties Association, infamously tweeted, “Burn it all down,” in response to the church attacks. Instead of facing legal consequences for publicly inciting violence, she kept her position for weeks before quietly stepping down. The anti-Christian establishment protected Walia whereas public personalities and officials criticizing non-Christian religions or foreign cultures are regularly and immediately torn to pieces in the public square.

(As an aside, I can’t help but think of Don Cherry who the woke left totally destroyed for one comment criticizing immigrants who don’t wear a poppy on Remembrance Day.)

Meanwhile, the Canadian government has actively suppressed Christian speech and expression under the guise of progressivism and ‘hate speech”. Canadian Christian adoption agencies, schools, and organizations have been pressured to comply with Trudeau’s radical social policies or lose funding.

Calgary Police Knelt with BLM Protesters Violating COVID Restrictions—But Arrested Pastor Artur Pawlowski for Leading a Church Service

The COVID Double Standard: BLM Protests vs. Christian Worship

Leadership is top-down with government institutions inclined to reflect, adopt, and repeat the values and examples of their political and organizational leadership.

During the COVID-19 lockdowns, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and police officers across Canada (including several Chiefs of Police) knelt in solidarity with Black Lives Matter (BLM) protesters – despite these mass gatherings egregiously violating the public health laws restricting the number of persons allowed to meet.

While thousands of BLM demonstrators flooded the streets in Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Peterborough, Sudbury, and Thunder Bay—with police not only allowing but joining them – police services raided, locked, and fenced off Christian churches. Pastors were dragged from their pulpits and jailed for simply practicing their faith.

Among those persecuted was Pastor Artur Pawlowski, who was arrested multiple times, including being dragged from his car at gunpoint for holding prayer services. Pastor Henry Hildebrandt was charged despite holding a drive-in service where worshippers stayed in their cars – proving that compliance with public health measures made no difference if the state targeted your beliefs.

Pastor James Coates of GraceLife Church in Alberta was jailed for 35 days for holding church services – while malls, liquor stores, and big-box retailers remained open. Police guarded the fenced off church, treating peaceful worshippers like criminals while BLM marchers roamed free.

Pastors Steve Richardson and Aaron Rock were also arrested and charged for praying in a group. RCMP handcuffed and arrested People’s Party leader Maxime Bernier for simply meeting supporters in an open field.

The glaring double standard could not have been clearer: BLM protests were encouraged. Police and even Chiefs of Police took a knee. Not one marcher was arrested—but Christian pastors and worshippers were dragged away, fined, and jailed.

Defending Christian Faith vs. Attacking Christians

Trump’s order signals a shift back toward recognizing Christianity as a vital and foundational part of America’s cultural and moral fabric. By contrast, Trudeau’s Canada has long promoted and justified the marginalization of Christians and the destruction of their institutions.

As I said earlier, leadership is a top-down function – and Trudeau’s leadership has inspired and empowered anti-Christian elements in government and law enforcement.

Anti-Christian OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrique

One small example is that the head of Canada’s second largest policing organization implemented an anti-Christian policy in social media and public communications. Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner Thomas Carrique erased Christmas, Christianity, and Jesus from the public sphere in 2024. While celebrating and naming nearly every other religious and cultural tradition with zeal, Carrique and his OPP refused to even utter the word “Christmas”, “Christ” or “Jesus” in any official capacity or communication.

Such is the influence and empowerment of Trudeau’s anti-Christian leadership throughout Canada.

President Donald Trump is taking decisive action to protect Christians and their institutions. He is restoring their place in American society after years of government hostility.

The Choice for Canada: Resist or Watch Christianity Be Erased

Under Trudeau, Canada has become a country where Christianity is ridiculed, its leaders arrested, and its places of worship burned—with the tacit approval of those in power.

This isn’t just bias; it’s a systemic effort to erase Christianity from public life, replacing it with an ideology that punishes faith while celebrating lawlessness.

Will Canadians shrug and accept this, or will they push back before it’s too late? Because history shows that when governments target religious groups, things only get worse. The choice is clear: resist or watch as Christianity in Canada is driven underground.

Vincent Gircys – Case Update Ottawa Police Detective Helen Grus

Detective Grus believes Police Officers should challenge unlawful orders

by Vincent Gircys – OPP (retired)

I had the opportunity to chat with Ottawa Police Detective Helen Grus following her police disciplinary hearing final submissions. This historic case involves one of Ottawa Police Service’s finest members noticing a spike in infant deaths.

Helen took action where others failed. While following a hypothesis based on the best available evidence, her preliminary inquiry was shut down, as the consequences of exposing the truth became unacceptable to the national narrative. She was subsequently silenced and charged with bringing discredit to the organization.

First and foremost, Helen is so grateful for the prayers and support she’s received throughout the process.

She is in this challenge because she believes in the principles of policing: preservation of peace, prevention of crime, and the protection of life and property. She knows there are countless amazing officers risking their lives daily to do just that.

Her heart and soul believe that when unlawful orders are given by police supervisors, officers must challenge them respectfully using the authority all officers are granted by law. It is clear that this challenging time in Helen’s life, dealing with the allegations against her, will not break her.

Although the financial costs of a legal defense are tremendous, she understands the implications this case will have on the entire Canadian police community if the truth and investigative process associated with this remain buried.

One underestimation in the attempt to silence and set an example of her was that whoever concocted the ridiculous, unprecedented Discreditable Conduct charge against Helen simply doesn’t know her. Perhaps they thought she’d take a plea and hunker down quietly. They didn’t realize that Helen doesn’t worship money; she worships God. She doesn’t love money; she loves life!

Regardless of the outcome of this disciplinary hearing, Helen seems convinced that Truth, Love, and Compassion will prevail.

This is far from over, and I have no doubt that the full version of her story will eventually become mandatory reading in every police academy across Canada, as Helen knows that Courage, Integrity, and Truth in law enforcement must and will prevail.

Ottawa Police Promote Neglectful Officer Who Failed to Prevent Domestic Murder – Sgt McMullan is Prosecution Witness in Grus Case

Hanadi Mohammed – Murdered after Detective McMullan’s neglect of duty

Detective Erin McMullan, prosecution witness in the Detective Helen Grus case, promoted despite her record of neglect in a domestic violence case that ended in murder.

Ottawa Police Detective Erin McMullan’s promotion to Sergeant is raising questions, given that her neglect and inaction in a domestic violence case contributed to a tragic outcome. An October 17, 2024, CBC article details how McMullan’s failures may have played a role in the murder of an abused wife – a case that continues to raise concerns about Ottawa Police’s accountability in handling domestic violence situations.

Adding to the complexity, McMullan also appeared as a prosecution witness in the high-profile case of Detective Helen Grus. The Ottawa Police Professional Standards Unit charged Grus in July 2022 with conducting an ‘unauthorized investigation’ into a cluster of nine unexplained infant deaths. Detective Grus had suspicions that the vaccine status of the mothers could possibly be a factor in the deaths of breastfeeding babies.

On October 30, 2023, Sergeant McMullan testified that Detective Grus should not have self-initiated an investigation into a potential link between the Covid Vaccines and the deaths of breastfeeding infants.

Considering McMullan’s record of neglect of duty, her opinion that Detective Grus should not have initiated an investigation is noteworthy…

After all, unlike Detective Grus who is being persecuted for doing her duty, Sergeant McMullan neglected her sworn duty but was promoted nonetheless.

Detective McMullan assures Hanadi “If I don’t do anything and I have this information and something happens to you, then I’m in big trouble for not protecting you.”

Fear. Hope. Neglect. Murder.

On October 1, 2013, terrified mother of two Hanadi Mohammed came to the Ottawa Police begging for help. Her brutal husband Hamid Ayoub had threatened her with a knife in front of the children because she had reported his abuse to the police. A few weeks earlier she had run from her husband at Ottawa airport, called 911 and taken the children to a friend’s home.

Detective Erin McMullan (then Erin Lehman) of the Intimate Partner Violence Unit interviewed Hanadi and assured her “From what it sounds like right now, I definitely have enough grounds that I have to charge him. In Ontario, if we get information like this, we have to lay a charge. We don’t have any choice,”

“… if I don’t do anything and I have this information and something happens to you, then I’m in big trouble for not protecting you.” Ottawa Police Detective Erin McMullan to abused wife Hanadi Mohammed

McMullan promised the desperate Hanadi that the very next day she would arrange assistance for her, schedule another officer to interview the two children, and would personally call to update her.

But the next day Detective Erin McMullan did nothing.

McMullan didn’t arrange assistance for Hanadi, didn’t call her, and failed to arrange the interview of the children.

Hanadi trusted McMullan. What else could the poor woman do? But Detective Erin McMullan’s promise to help her and charge her husband was a sham.

Like many abused women with limited English and no support, Hanadi ended up returning to her violent husband for years of further terror and violence. This according to sworn testimony.

In August 2020 Hanadi again took the children and fled from her husband Hamid Ayoub – but by November 2020 he had planted a secret tracking device and began to plot her murder.

In May 2021 Ayoub found Hanadi at a shopping plaza and threatened her – as she told police at the time.

But again, Ottawa Police officers failed to protect her.

On June 15, 2021, Hamid Ayoub used the tracking device to find his estranged wife and daughter at their home – attacking and stabbing Hanadi 39 times and his daughter 12 times. Hanadi died in front of her home. Her daughter survived by playing dead.

Hamid Ayoub – Murderer

Sergeant Erin McMullan testified during Ayoub’s 2024 murder trial that she couldn’t recall why she didn’t follow through with her promises and duty to Hanadi in 2013. McMullan said that Hanadi left her a message after about 10 days and that the officer returned the call only to be told that Hanadi was now back home with her loving husband, and everything was fine.

That purported call sounds very convenient for Erin McMullan. There’s no indication in the news articles if McMullan had such an entry in her memo book or in the Ottawa Police reporting system. Sources told this journalist that McMullan made no record of the purported call anywhere.

 

There is also the question of language. If Hanadi needed a translator for the interview, did McMullen call in a translator for the purported phone call? The call where, according to McMullen, the abused wife purportedly said everything was now fine?

McMullan also acknowledged during the murder trial questioning that it was her duty in 2013 to lay criminal charges against Ayoub – but she did not.

The Ottawa Police promoted Erin McMullan to Sergeant despite her record of neglect, poor judgment and failure in the Hanadi Mohammed case.

Ontario’s Domestic Violence Mandatory Charging Policy

First introduced in 1994 in the Ontario Policing Standards Manual, the Mandatory Charging Policy requires that charges must be laid in domestic violence situations if there is reasonable and probable evidence that a criminal offense has occurred, irrespective of the victim’s wishes – exactly as then Detective Erin McMullan told Hanadi Mohammed.

Although the policy has been revised and adjusted over the years, the core principles that Detective McMullan violated are still in place.

My currently-employed sources at Ottawa Police confirm that when Detective McMullan failed to investigate, followup, and lay charges in a situation where the husband threatened his wife with a knife – the officer not only failed to perform her duty, she violated several regulations.

McMullan could have (and I say SHOULD HAVE) been charged with:

  • Insubordination (Failure to obey a lawful order)
  • Neglect of Duty
  • Disreputable Conduct

It is fair to say that a wife and mother was murdered, and a daughter severely injured because Detective Erin McMullan neglected her duty.

It is also fair to say the Detective McMullan’s negligence undermined public confidence in the Ottawa Police – and most critically, undermined women trapped in abusive / violent situations. Abused women learned from the Hanadi Mohammed murder that the Ottawa Police have fine words and policies about domestic violence – but the reality is that abused women and children are on their own.

Nonetheless, the Ottawa Police promoted Erin McMullan to Sergeant – and ignored the body of Hanadi Mohammed.

Sergeant Erin McMullan Testifies Against Detective Helen Grus

Detective Helen Grus

On Monday, October 30, 2023 Sergeant McMullan took the stand as a prosecution witness against her former squad member Detective Helen Grus. McMullan was overtly hostile to Grus and argumentative with defense counsel as she actively sought to counter the defense position that police officers have both free will and a duty to investigate potential crimes.

Some observers at the hearing speculated that this hostility was because Detective Grus had looked into one of McMullan’s infant death investigations and found her work to be incomplete or even neglectful.

Lead defense counsel Bath-Shéba van den Berg cross-examined Sergeant McMullan and started with questions about Section 5.3 of the Ottawa Police Criminal Investigation Management Plan which states:

“There is no intent to limit, inhibit, the discretion of any uniformed member in response to criminal occurrence.”

In answer, McMullan outrageously took the position that police officers DO NOT have “free will to look into any criminal investigation.”

Astonishingly, McMullan also disputed that officers have the free will and duty to investigate crime – stating at one point that if she suspected a crime, she would file a police report and then have the investigation detailed to “the proper unit”.

As the cross-examination progressed, McMullan’s answers became ever more absurd as she so obviously attempted to provide whatever twisted logic and reasoning would better support a conviction of Detective Grus. In her usual style Prosecutor Vanessa Stewart assisted by objecting to just about every question asked by Defense Counsel.

Prosecutor Stewart reacted strongly when lawyer van den Berg asked McMullan…

“If there was a medical treatment that was not tested on human beings, prior to releasing it to the human population, and yet it was being distributed to – to human beings, and you suspected that – no, you came across deaths, say, which you know, could be linked to the Criminal Code offence of criminal negligence, what would you put in a report?” Lawyer van den Berg cross-examining Detective Erin McMullan

Stewart had the witness excused and then argued (as she did throughout the hearing) to exclude any defense evidence addressing the known adverse effects of the mRNA genetic injections – including serious injuries and deaths.

Vanessa Stewart – Prosecutor

Despite Prosecutor Stewart’s efforts to exclude all evidence of vaccine injuries and deaths from the record, Trials Officer Chris Renwick did hear that the causes of death of six of the seven infants investigated by Detective Grus are known adverse effects listed in the Pfizer’s internal documents – made public as the ‘Pfizer Papers’. *

Concerns of prosecution bias were compounded by reports of interference in the Grus case from officials at the Public Health Agency of Canada, a matter that appeared on the House of Parliament Order Paper Questions in March 2024.

Since Grus’s suspension almost three years ago, there has been a tsunami of credible evidence that the officer was correct all along in her suspicions.

Authorities in many jurisdictions have admitted that manufacturers and authorities concealed from the public that the shots were DNA contaminated, that the formulas presented for approval were not the vaccines that were fraudulently delivered, that the vaccines were known to be ineffective, and that it was known the vaccines caused serious harms and even deaths – including to babies in the womb and breastfeeding infants.

Yet the Ottawa Police continue to prosecute Detective Helen Grus and have blocked her promotion to Sergeant. The prosecution also served ‘Notice of Increased Penalty’ indicating that Grus will be fired if convicted.

Grus Hearing Continues January 6, 2025

Trials Officer Supt Chris Renwick

The Ottawa Police prosecution of Detective Helen Grus is scheduled to resume on January 6, 2025 – although there is some doubt about the prosecution team because Vanessa Stewart has left the Ottawa Police and is now working as a Crown Attorney.

Sources at the Ottawa Police Association confirm that neither the OPA nor Detective Grus and her legal team have been informed if Stewart is still on the prosecution team – as of Friday, December 6, 2024.

As the case approaches its third year, observers question whether the Ottawa Police Service will continue to pursue the charges against Detective Grus. The author’s previous article lists three key factors fueling this speculation.

From the best selling book ‘The Pfizer Papers’ edited by Naomi Wolf…

“The Pfizer Papers features new reports based on the primary source Pfizer clinical trial documents released under court order and on related medical literature. The book shows in high relief that Pfizer’s mRNA COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial was deeply flawed and that the pharmaceutical company knew by November 2020 that its vaccine was neither safe nor effective. The reports detail vaccine-induced harms throughout the human body, including to the reproductive system; show that women suffer vaccine-related adverse events at a 3:1 ratio; expose that vaccine-induced myocarditis is not rare, mild, or transient; and, shockingly, demonstrate that the mRNA vaccines have created a new category of multi-system, multi-organ disease, which is being called “CoVax Disease.”

Despite the fact that Pfizer committed in its own clinical trial protocol to follow the placebo arm of its trial for twenty-four months, Pfizer vaccinated approximately 95 percent of placebo recipients by March 2021, thus eliminating the trial’s control group and making it impossible for comparative safety determinations to be made.

Just as importantly, The Pfizer Papers makes it clear that the US Food and Drug Administration knew about the shortfalls of Pfizer’s clinical trial as well as the harms caused by the company’s mRNA COVID vaccine product, thus highlighting the FDA’s abject failure to fulfill its mission to “[protect] the public health by ensuring the safety, efficacy, and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, and medical devices.”

Turmoil in Detective Grus Trial as Prosecutor Leaves Ottawa Police

Officials Stonewall Questions on Whether Controversial Prosecutor Vanessa Stewart Remains on Grus Case

Update: November 14, 2024 – Defense Counsel Still Not Notified – Lead Defense Counsel Bath-Shéba van den Berg appeared on The Lavigne Show with co-host Donald Best – and confirmed that the OPS Legal Unit has still not notified her of Vanessa Stewart’s status change or if this will impact the hearing set to resume January 5, 2025.

Original Story Published November 11, 2024

The disciplinary hearing of Ottawa Police Detective Helen Grus has plunged into chaos amid uncertainty surrounding the police prosecutor, Vanessa Stewart (photo above). Noted for her controversial courtroom behaviour and facing allegations of procedural abuses, Stewart is on a six-month leave from the Ottawa Police Service to join the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General.

The refusal of police officials and Stewart herself to clarify her current involvement in the Grus case leaves the future of the hearing, set for January 6, 2025, shrouded in doubt.

Despite an automatic email reply confirming Stewart’s leave of absence and assignment to the Attorney General’s office, there has been a wall of silence from the Ottawa Police Service (OPS), the Attorney General’s office, and Stewart herself. Insider sources at the Ottawa Police Association reveal that Detective Grus, her attorney Bath-Shéba van den Berg, and the police union remain uninformed about Stewart’s departure or the ramifications for the case.

Further complicating matters, two police insiders report that Stewart’s contract with the OPS Legal Unit was terminated due to performance issues.

This development casts a shadow over prosecution continuity and integrity in a case already mired with allegations of bias and misconduct by prosecutors, prosecution witnesses, and the hearing officer.

Detective Helen Grus

Detective Grus was suspended on February 4, 2022, by the OPS Professional Standards Unit for allegedly conducting an ‘unauthorized’ investigation into nine unexplained infant deaths. She was exploring the possibility that the vaccination status of the mothers might be a factor in the fatalities. In July 2022, Grus was charged internally with one count of discreditable conduct under the Ontario Police Services Act.

The proceedings have been controversial – at times even raucous and chaotic – with defense attorneys accusing police witnesses, prosecution lawyers, and the Tribunal Hearing Officer of blatant bias. Shock rippled through legal circles upon the revelation that Prosecutor Stewart and a key prosecution witness are sisters-in-law—a glaring conflict of interest that would be unacceptable in any legitimate court. Yet, Hearing Officer Police Superintendent Chris Renwick, notably lacking legal training, permitted this infringement.

Concerns of bias were compounded by reports of interference from officials at the Public Health Agency of Canada, a matter that appeared on the House of Parliament Order Paper Questions in March 2024.

The Grus disciplinary hearing reached a boiling point on January 10, 2024, when defense lawyers levelled allegations of criminal witness tampering against Professional Standards Inspector Hugh O’Toole. Just minutes before Grus was set to testify, O’Toole sent her a threatening email obviously intended to intimidate Grus into changing her testimony and supporting exhibits.

Hugh O’Toole

In the wake of formal complaints alleging Criminal Intimidation of a Witness and Obstruction of Justice, O’Toole resigned from the OPS. He has since surfaced working as a lawyer at a Kemptville legal firm.

Illegal Wiretapping Scandal

Both Inspector O’Toole and Prosecutor Stewart were also implicated in the February 2022 illegal wiretapping of Detective Grus and her family under the “urgent emergency” provisions of the Criminal Code – when no such urgent emergency existed.

As the case approaches its third year, observers question whether the OPS will continue to pursue the charges against Detective Grus. Three key factors fuel this speculation:

1/ Emerging Evidence: Since Grus’s suspension almost three years ago, there has been a tsunami of credible evidence that the officer was correct all along in her suspicions.

Authorities in many jurisdictions have admitted that manufacturers and authorities concealed from the public that the shots were DNA contaminated, that the formulas presented for approval were not the vaccines that were fraudulently delivered, that the vaccines were known to be ineffective, and that it was known the vaccines caused serious harms and even deaths – including to babies in the womb and breastfeeding infants.

A decision by the Ottawa Police to continue the prosecution against Grus could come back to haunt them as any appeals process will take years – with additional evidence and case law, and developing public opinion weighing more heavily against OPS.

2/ Prosecution Evidence during the trial indicated that Detective Grus was investigating charges of Criminal Negligence Causing Bodily Harm and Death when the Ottawa Police ordered her to stop and suspended her.

Prosecution Evidence also indicated that Ottawa Police had received a complete evidence file from Detective Grus – yet failed to launch investigations into the alleged crimes.

An appeals process will take years, with the public becoming more aware of how the Ottawa Police neglected their duty to initiate an investigation into vaccination injuries and deaths as additional evidence and case law comes to light.

3/ Departures of Key Personnel: Inspector O’Toole and Prosecutor Stewart are the two people most responsible for charging and prosecuting Detective Grus. With both no longer employed by the Ottawa Police there are doubts about the OPS’s capacity to effectively manage the case now and in the future. Their departures could complicate the current proceedings and any subsequent appeals.

Will Ottawa Police Persist With A Faltering Prosecution?

The Ottawa Police leadership now faces a critical decision: persist with a faltering prosecution riddled with internal strife and burgeoning evidence supporting Grus, or withdraw the charges to mitigate further costs and damage to the organization’s credibility—a credibility already hanging by a thread.

Chaos. Confusion. Concealment.

The refusal of both the Ottawa Police and Vanessa Stewart to inform Detective Grus or her legal team about Stewart’s status—and their stonewalling of media inquiries—transcends mere lack of transparency; it borders on obstruction.

This pattern suggests deeper issues within the OPS. Words like confusion, indecision, and chaos seem insufficient to describe the turmoil.

For over two years, multiple insider sources have revealed a critical divide within OPS senior management over the Grus case. In this light, the ousting of Inspector O’Toole and the non-renewal of Stewart’s contract signal a possible turning point in favor of Detective Grus.

The pressing challenge for OPS leadership is to devise an exit strategy from the Grus debacle. Their goal must be to minimize further embarrassment, control escalating legal expenses, and address potential liability for defense costs, which reportedly approach $400,000.

Mother’s Day on Parliament Hill – Honouring Ottawa Police Detective Helen Grus

Courthouse Prayers for Ottawa Police Detective Helen Grus

An Ottawa grandmother will spend Mother’s Day on Parliament Hill collecting messages of appreciation and encouragement to be delivered to Ottawa Police Detective Helen Grus. All are invited to attend at noon, Sunday May 12th. Messages and e-cards can also be emailed to MothersDayGrus@proton.me

Meela Melnik was initially skeptical about Detective Grus when in early 2022 CBC News broke the story and claimed the officer had violated rules by initiating an ‘unauthorized’ investigation into the unexplained deaths of nine Ottawa infants.

But after paying close attention to detailed reports of the case, and attending at the hearing herself, Melnik told this reporter:

“I’m spending Mother’s Day honouring Detective Grus because of my conscience and the evidence I’ve seen at her trial. Detective Grus was doing her duty investigating these nine infant deaths.

They stopped her from asking questions. They laid charges to intimidate Grus and other police officers from investigating possible connections between the Covid vaccines and injuries and deaths. It was Detective Grus’ duty to ask these questions.

Canadians should be demanding to know why the Ottawa Police interfered with Detective Grus and stopped her investigation into infant deaths. We should also be demanding to know the full story of outside influences upon the decision to prosecute Detective Grus.”   Ottawa Grandmother Meela Melnik

Melnik describes herself as “pretty ordinary, a grey-haired grandmother”. It was obvious during our interview that she is uncomfortable with taking a public stand but feels she has a duty to alert her fellow Canadians about the Ottawa Police stopping Detective Grus from continuing her investigation into the unexplained infant deaths.

Further, her attendance at the Grus Hearing convinced Melnik that the process is unjust and biased against the officer. Melnik will be attending again when the Grus Hearing reconvenes on Monday, May 27, 2024.

“I’m a police officer; I’m there to solve and help solve if somebody dies. Especially an innocent little baby … I don’t want more babies to die. Whether it’s vaccine-related or not … I’m not okay with babies dying and not getting any answers.” Detective Helen Grus during police questioning

Detective Grus Mother’s Day Cards Available Online and at Parliament Hill

Melnik will bring pre-printed and blank Mother’s Day cards to her Mother’s Day vigil on Parliament Hill so that passersby can send a Mother’s Day message to Detective Grus.

Messages and e-cards can also be emailed to: MothersDayGrus@proton.me

These will be delivered directly to Detective on the morning of Monday, May 27, 2024 when she arrives for the continuation of her Disciplinary Hearing.

Grus Mothers Day Event Parliament Hill Flier

Mother’s Day Origins and Detective Helen Grus

Meela Melnik’s poster of the Mother’s Day Event for Detective Grus quotes from the 1872 Mother’s Day Proclamation ‘Appeal to womanhood throughout the world’ by Julia Ward Howe.

Melnik says that Detective Grus is a mother who should be honoured for her integrity and strength, for doing her duty in investigating sudden infant deaths and so to trying to prevent future tragedies for parents.

Former RCMP Union Director: Windsor Police Constable Michael Brisco Deserved A Fair Trial

Guest Column by Retired RCMP Officer & Union Director Leland Keane

“Mike Brisco deserved a FAIR trial. The tyrants in police management and the Police Commission who refused him one are unworthy of public trust.”

An open letter from Leland Keane to the Ontario Civilian Police Commission and Windsor Police Service:

From: Leland Keane
Date: Thu, Apr 4, 2024 at 8:38 PM
Subject: Support for Windsor Police Constable Mike Brisco
To: Ontario Civilian Police Commission
Cc: Windsor Police Service, Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms

Dear Sir or Madam,

I read about the case of Constable Mike Brisco some time ago;

Cop fined two weeks pay for $50 convoy donation asks for judicial review (Western Standard – Lee Harding)

I retired in 2019 after 32 years with the RCMP in BC, the majority of my service being in uniform and street-level policing. In provinces outside Ontario and Quebec the RCMP does the same job as our municipal and provincial brothers-in-blue.

I served on the executive of the Mounted Police Professional Association of Canada (MPPAC) from 1996-2018 and retired as a director of that magnificent organization. I was blessed to have advocated for police and police veterans.

“The obvious injustice perpetrated against Cst. Brisco by less-than-ethical police management and pseudo-jurists at the police commission is an odious display of malicious prosecution of Brisco and by implication of any honest police officer.

The malicious prosecution of those who dared stand up to tyranny by all levels of government in this country since 2020 has and will have a very detrimental impact on our institutions and those who keep us safe at night for many years to come.”

The people involved in this prosecution and those who stood idly by at Windsor Police and the Police Commission remind me of those who stood by and watched and those who participated in Kristallnacht in 1938; cowards, tyrants and bullies.

Please remember that tyranny was internationally and publicly repudiated in 1946 at Nuremberg. Canada, to heal our society after the tyranny of 2020 which is still perpetrated by governments and agencies, will require a Nuremberg-style solution.

“Government-ordered violence perpetrated by those in uniform against the Freedom Convoy in Alberta and Ottawa continue to haunt all freedom-loving Canadians, especially those of us who kept our oaths not to obey unlawful commands.”

Those that escaped judgement at Nuremberg still faced judgement day which comes to us all.

Mike Brisco deserved a FAIR trial. The tyrants in police management and the Police Commission who refused him one are unworthy of public trust.

Mike Brisco deserved a fair shake. Instead he was punished with a 2 week rip and has suffered unthinkable personal and professional damage.

Shame on all who took part and those who stood by and watched.

God Bless and keep you Mike Brisco.

Yours truly,

Leland (Lee) Keane

RCMP (Retired)

Vincent Gircys: Police Profession and Police Unions Self-Destructing Over Human Rights Violations, Woke Agendas

Four Years and Counting..

As a former police officer I’ve personally witnessed an abhorrent amount of suffering from those who lost their businesses, homes, and careers in the last four years. While a small minority of ultra wealthy gamed the system to the tune of billions, the vast majority of Canadians have not done well financially or otherwise – the result of tyrannical government decisions and those who supported the decisions by remaining silent.

“Beyond the financial losses – the Charter and Human Rights violations and Police Brutality are off the charts.”

What was once considered a noble profession no longer stands tall and true today. The trust has been broken with too many examples to list.

Guest article by Vincent Gircys

The result of that demise includes the loss of public trust, police morale decimated, replacement rates falling rapidly, an increase in sick time, and a lack of public interest in joining the profession. And, like every other civil service position, internal issues are contributing to the collapse.

One of the main issues is tribalism within the organizations based on hiring models that began almost 25 years ago. In an effort to comply with increasing international WEF commitments, policing organizations have accelerated the DEI (Diversity Equity and Inclusion) component. The hiring and promoting those who scored highest in the employment and promotion processes is taking a back seat to an approach based on gender, race, and sexual preference.

The fallout from this process and others like it is the big fat lack-of-competency elephant in the room. Nobody is talking about it on the outside.

Today, police service social media accounts are lighting up with congratulatory messages celebrating the special days dedicated to some – while intentionally ignoring others. This is itself divisive and can’t be discussed by those in public service without retribution.

Discussion of divisive comments made by the Prime Minister or others in power is also taboo in our Police services. If that isn’t enough, Bill C-63 will make sure to silence the remainder.

I recently posted my thoughts to the PAO (Police Association of Ontario) on the proven value of meritocracy where performance takes precedence. I also noted the problems associated with tribalism.

PAO President Mark Baxter

PAO President Mark Baxter chose to respond, “I understand why you’re a former forensic investigator. No room for your divisive views in our police workplaces in 2024! Let’s use today to celebrate the accomplishments women have made in policing and in all workplaces, not diminish them with your 1950’s views #IWD.”

It seems Mr Baxter doesn’t actually know me, my service contributions spanning over 32 years, my awards or my experience.

What Mark Baxter knows is at all cost he needs to defend the narrative put before him – much like the Ottawa Police Service attempting to destroy Detective Helen Grus.

Detective Grus failed to adhere to the narrative and chose to ask questions regarding the sudden and unexplained deaths of infants. No mention of that woman’s courage from Mark Baxter while celebrating Women in Policing Day.

“The response toward Detective Grus has revealed just how corrupt our Police Services and Police Associations are, and how far they are willing to go to keep specific information from surfacing.”

Many working within the Police service are aware and this fact adds to the everyday stress. I started my career in 1982 at a time when my recruiter explained only the best would be hired to complete a career exceeding 30 years of experience that most could not handle.

“I don’t subscribe at all to the dark days of 50’s style policing as Mark Baxter suggests. I also don’t subscribe to the current cult beliefs of cutting off your genitals, demanding the use of gender pronouns, tampons in men’s washrooms, men in woman’s washrooms, giving up your Charter Rights, or hiring people to perform dangerous duties with less than outstanding skills.”

If I’m in need of Police Services I’m not looking at race, gender or sexual preference. I want to know that the responding police officers are the best possible.

Ultimately our cultural changes will be decided by Canadians over a much longer time period than envisioned by those pushing the Woke Cult Agendas in the Police Service and Police Unions.

BREAKING: Canada’s Parliament Considers Detective Helen Grus Case

Order Paper Questions Government Health Authorities’ Influence Re Grus Investigation into Sudden Infant Deaths

MP Cathay Wagantall Demands Communications Mentioning: Deputy Chief Steven Bell, Superintendent Heather Lachine, Inspector Hugh O’Toole, Prosecutor Vanessa Stewart

The case of Ottawa Police Detective Helen Grus and her investigation into a cluster of Sudden Infant Deaths in the Ottawa area is being raised in Canada’s Parliament. According to the rules, the Government must now provide a written answer within 45 days.

MP Cathay Wagantall (CPC)

Ottawa Police Detective Helen Grus is charged with ‘Discreditable Conduct’ under the Ontario Police Services Act for conducting “unauthorized” investigations into the sudden deaths of nine infants. The next Hearing is on Monday, March 25, 2024.

Grus was investigating any potential connection between the vaccination status of the mothers and the sudden deaths of breastfeeding babies. Ottawa Police shut down her investigation, ordered her to stop, and charged her with an internal disciplinary charge.

My independent journalism revealed that Public Health Agency of Canada personnel sought to influence the Ottawa Police investigation of Detective Grus as early as March 2022, and even continuing after she was charged in July of 2022. (My April 27, 2023 article here)

Now a Conservative Member of Parliament is formally demanding answers about the Grus Case by placing questions on the Order Paper.

(a) were there communications between any of the entities or their personnel with the Ottawa Police Services Board or Ottawa Police Services personnel or the Office of the Chief Coroner of Ontario;

(b) if the answer to (a) is affirmative, was any of the communication with respect to Detective Helen Grus, stillbirths or deaths of infants under one year;

(c) if the answer to (b) is affirmative, what are the details of each communication, including the (i) date, (ii) type of communication such as memorandum, telephone conversation, fax, or email, (iii) subject, (iv) reports produced as a result of the communication, (v) names of people included or copied on the communication;
