RAIR Foundation has been following one of the most shocking cases in Canada for over three years: the political persecution of Ottawa Police Detective Helen Grus — a case that has become one of the clearest warnings of how far Canada has drifted from the rule of law.
Her “crime”? She noticed a disturbing spike in infant deaths following the rollout of federally mandated mRNA injections in 2021. She launched an internal investigation into whether nursing mothers had been injected with the experimental gene therapy shots. For daring to ask these questions, she became a target of the system.
From the start, the process was rigged. Not a single expert witness was permitted to testify — neither in writing nor in person — about the effects of the injections. Grus’s own case notes were seized by the prosecution. Text messages between her and fellow officers mysteriously disappeared — erased not just from her phone, but from theirs as well. Her family’s private communications were wiretapped without their knowledge, without oversight, and without judicial authorization. And when she tried to testify, the hearings officer literally jumped in front of her while she was on the stand and forbade her from answering her own lawyer’s question about how many babies had died in a short span — blocking the public from learning the most critical fact.
Below is an excerpt from a talk her attorney gave earlier this summer on how she was treated during her testimony. As Bath-Sheba Van den Berg made clear, there have been countless breaches of the rules that define a fair trial — breaches documented extensively by RAIR and others in the lead-up to sentencing.
There have been countless breaches of the basic rules that constitute a fair trial or hearing — breaches that RAIR and others have documented extensively in the lead-up to sentencing.
So it came as no surprise when Detective Grus was found guilty of “insubordination.” The outcome was predetermined. The state’s intention was obvious: to punish her for daring to investigate whether the mRNA injections were what the public had been promised — “safe and effective.”
Even U.S. regulators like Dr. Peter Marks of the FDA have acknowledged the unsettled questions about mRNA injections in breastfeeding and pregnant women. Yet in Canada, raising such concerns has become forbidden.
During the September 4th sentencing, the hearings officer made a statement about Det. Grus’s ‘infraction’ so shocking that it amounted to an open admission of authoritarian rule.
Note the middle paragraph:
“The Tribunal officer found Detective Grus guilty and declared that police officers now need permission to investigate crimes that have “political and societal ramifications” – or where the suspects are public officials.”
This is more than a bit of corruption. What we now have in this microcosm of Canadian law is the shift from a Republic-style system of governance, equality, and truth-based system to one of protecting narratives imposed on the public by the state.
We see this increasingly across the Western world, with the exception of Donald Trump’s America. But in the UK, a tweet questioning the Trans narrative is an automatic arrest by 5 armed officers, even of a celebrity such as Graham Linehan, the co-creator and writer for the hit British TV series, Father Ted.
In Canada, a nurse, Amy Hamm, who simply liked a billboard of JK Rowling, has now been found guilty and fined a large sum of money and may lose her licence as a registered nurse for life. All this shows that the trans-sexual narrative, like the Covid and mRNA vaccine narrative, may not be questioned, especially by anyone in any kind of position of authority. Their job is to enforce state narratives. Not question their value or truthfulness, or even their safety for pregnant women.
On September 4th, RAIR Foundation went to day 2 of the scheduled sentencing hearing for Helen Grus, itself a curious event. It took three years just to hold a hearing, draining Detective Grus financially and emotionally. Then came months of delay before a verdict, followed by the extraordinary scheduling of three full days just for sentencing — something virtually unprecedented.
Both lawyers, Bath-Sheba Van den Berg and the Crown attorney, submitted a large amount of documents to the hearings officer on day 2 of the hearings, and the sentencing has now been postponed to an as-yet-unspecified date.
The suspicion is that the state is attempting to kick this can down the road until public interest is lost, so that the state can punish Helen without it causing too much fuss on the ground, by her supporters or any media not yet captured by the Canadian state’s propaganda directives.
After the hearing was adjourned for the day at lunchtime, RAIR Foundation caught up with Det. Grus’s lawyer, who made a powerful and impassioned statement in defence of her client. The fact that she gave a statement at all shows how seriously Bath-Sheba, Helen’s lawyer, is taking the way this hearing has been handled.
Retired Toronto Police Detective Donald Best has been front and centre of this travesty since day one. RAIR sat down with him after the court was adjourned to get an update on the proceedings and, more importantly, how this affects law enforcement in Canada as a whole.
Over the past year, Maj. Stephen Coughlin has warned that we are now in the overt phase of a communist-style revolution. The state no longer hides its intentions: it openly admits that protecting political narratives is more important than enforcing the rule of law.
That reality was laid bare in the Grus hearings. It is chilling to hear an adjudicator declare that police will now have to seek permission to launch an investigation if its consequences might have “political and societal implications.” Those implications, of course, are defined by the state itself — always in its own interest, and never in the interest of the citizens it governs.
As Donald Best has emphasized from the very beginning, the case of Helen Grus is not only about one officer. It is about the future of policing, justice, and truth in Canada itself.
