A veteran detective with the Ottawa Police Service (OPS) is being demoted for two years for discreditable conduct after a disciplinary tribunal found her guilty of invading the privacy of families by inappropriately accessing the files of dead children and asking one parent about a mother’s vaccination status.
Const. Helen Grus was suspended in 2022 over allegations that she had engaged in “an unauthorized project” by accessing case files to which she wasn’t assigned.

An elite police squad which was set up to monitor social media in the wake of the Southport riots has flagged more than 100 posts to local forces.
The National Internet Intelligence Investigations team was created earlier this year to surveil online platforms for signs of “protest-related activity”.
It was founded by ministers in response to the national unrest following the 2024 Southport murders, which prompted a series of anti-immigrant riots.

EDMONTON — Individuals are criticizing the Edmonton Police Service after the agency made a social media post encouraging individuals to report online “hate” comments and used anti-immigration comments as examples.
“You typed it. Someone lived it,” reads the caption of an EPS post made on Friday. “Online hate isn’t ‘just a comment.’ It hurts real people and harms real communities. Hate has no home here…”
The goal always is to criminalize dissent.

Survivor accounts of residential schools vary — sometimes from the very same person. Nunavut Senator Nancy Karetak-Lindell told Nunatsiaq News in 2001 that her time at Akaitcho Hall was “a home-away-from-home” and that “it’s not like what you’re hearing about all the residential school issues today.” In the same piece, she said, “At Akaitcho, we were in a structured environment compared to where we came from. That taught us perseverance and how to discipline ourselves.” “It taught us a lot about doing things in life that we didn’t always want to do, but those things had to be done … We had to learn how to live with people from different cultures who spoke different languages and came from different parts of the NWT,” she continued, adding that those friendships helped her political career.
Pat King, a key figure in the 2022 convoy protests, will be re-sentenced after the Ontario Court of Appeal sided with Crown prosecutors who argued his original punishment was too lenient.
The Crown appealed after a trial judge convicted King on five criminal charges but acquitted him of intimidation and obstructing police.
Canada’s justice system has now sent its message, and it is not subtle.
Tamara Lich and Chris Barber were not murderers, arsonists, violent revolutionaries, or even criminals. They were two Canadians who helped lead a peaceful protest against government mandates during one of the most heavy-handed periods in modern Canadian history. For that, the Crown vigorously pursued them for years, seeking prison terms of seven years for Lich and eight years for Barber.
The crisis in the West is not that people stopped trusting institutions. It’s that the institutions continually give us reasons to stop.
According to a recent access to information memo, the federal government of Canada is now contemplating “legal action” against users on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social media sites suspected of spreading “false and misleading information.” The censored 35-page document said, “This strategy seeks to uphold the integrity of—and public trust in—government information.

While the streets of Belfast were ablaze with anti-immigration protests last week, behind the scenes a group of spies, spinners and soldiers were deploying the ‘dark arts’ to try to defuse tensions.
The name of the secretive Government propaganda unit trying to manipulate events makes it sound like an innocuous back-office operation – the Research, Information and Communications Unit, or RICU.
But the dull moniker is part of the deliberate camouflage of an outfit which uses deception and skulduggery to try to manage the ‘challenges’ of multiculturalism.
The German Criminal Code’s controversial Section 188, which prohibits social media users from insulting or even criticizing politicians online, has become a hot topic in Germany again after a Facebook user was fined for over €2,000 for calling Chancellor Merz a “liar.”
Pollster INSA conducted a country-wide survey to discover what Germans actually think about the law, and found widespread opposition.
Germany’s controversial Section 188 of the Criminal Code has come under renewed scrutiny after courts imposed substantial fines on citizens for insulting Chancellor Friedrich Merz online.
According to prosecutors in Heilbronn, a Facebook user was ordered to pay a fine of more than 2,000 euros after referring to Merz as “Lügenfritz” (“Lying Fritz”) in a comment posted under a police announcement about the chancellor’s visit to the city last year.
OTTAWA — Ottawa Police Service (OPS) officers are effectively being warned against exercising their discretion to inquire about potential criminality related to “controversial” and “political” matters, a lawyer told the Western Standard.
Bath-Sheba van den Berg, a lawyer representing Const. Helen Grus, a detective with the OPS found guilty of discreditable conduct in March of 2025 following an internal professional disciplinary tribunal, said the OPS’s persecution of her client would undermine police officers’ willingness to take initiative with inquiries involving informal orthodoxies of political nature, including those revolving around “COVID-19 vaccines” marketed as “safe and effective” by all levels of Canadian government and ancillary institutions.
Britain is no longer divided by ordinary politics. It has split into two rival nations which loathe each other, obey different moral rules and receive radically different treatment from the state.
Last Saturday’s rival demonstrations in London exposed that divide with unusual clarity. On one side stood ‘Unite The Kingdom,’ the event organised primarily by now-veteran nationalist campaigner Tommy Robinson. At this, thousands of people who are angry about immigration, national decline, and the feeling that their country is being transformed without their consent gathered in order to display their frustration and patriotism.
Two women say they were targeted by a CBC- and APTN-produced comedy series that conducted prank interviews with people who have expressed controversial opinions about Canada’s residential schools.
Frances Widdowson and Lindsay Shepherd, two public figures who have been critical of the coverage of possible unmarked graves at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School site in B.C., shared social media posts this week detailing how they say they were tricked into prank interviews.
It was only a prank says the CBC which has forgiven itself.
In truth it was a government attempt to smear people for having the “wrong views”.
