Detective Helen Grus raised questions about a reported rise in infant deaths and faced consequences for doing so.

Her sentencing is scheduled for May 19, 2026 at 9:30 AM at the Huntmar Community Boardroom, 211 Huntmar, Kanata, ON.

The following are photos I took of her during one of her shifts. Captured in the moment. She is among the most kind hearted people I have ever come across.

In the meantime, if you’d like to support Helen with her legal fees, please see the link below:

In case you’re wondering who some of the participants are in the spraying overhead (at least over Ontario, Canada). I took this video yesterday shortly after 7 PM and watched the sky haze over. Air Canada also participates (previous footage shown).
For those ready to argue... contrails dissipate fairly quickly, while what is being observed here lingers, expands, and spreads across the sky.

Yesterday, defence lawyer Bath-Sheba Van Den Berg closed her submissions with the following passage from Isaiah 5:20. Chris Renwick appeared to take notice.

Powerful words, to say the least.

Context: Detective Helen Grus was punished after asking questions about a significant rise in infant deaths. Chris Renwick is the adjudicator overseeing the penalty phase of the case.

@BarnyIA Enlighten me... what exactly did Detective Helen Grus do that supposedly violated procedure?

UPDATE: Over the last 3 days at Detective Helen Grus’ penalty hearing in Ottawa, the prosecution pushed for a 24-month demotion that could reportedly cost Grus tens of thousands of dollars in lost income and overtime.

During testimony, Grus said she was motivated by concerns for public safety after noticing what she described as a significant increase in infant deaths during the 'COVID' era. Asked by defence lawyer Bath-Sheba Van Den Berg what her intention was at the time, Grus replied: “To save lives.”

The hearing also focused heavily on whether questions surrounding COVID-19 vaccines, infant deaths, and public health concerns should even be considered relevant during the penalty phase. Prosecutor Jessica Barrow repeatedly argued that broader debates over vaccine safety and efficacy had no bearing on determining punishment.

Grus testified that officers were discouraged from asking certain questions during the 'pandemic' and maintained that her actions came from a sense of duty as a police officer. She described policing as “the greatest gift” of her life and said her approach to investigations has always been grounded in integrity, compassion, and thoroughness.

According to evidence referenced during the hearing, Grus served with the Ottawa Police Service for more than two decades and consistently received positive performance reviews and commendations throughout her career.

The tribunal also heard that Grus has already suffered major financial consequences from the disciplinary process, including lost income, suspension-related losses, and substantial legal expenses.

One of the more explosive moments came when Van Den Berg criticized the prosecution’s reliance on prior disciplinary cases involving Ottawa police officers engaged in sexual activity while on duty, questioning how those incidents could reasonably be used as precedents in the case against Detective Helen Grus.

Hearing officer Chris Renwick will ultimately decide the penalty following the earlier finding of discreditable conduct against Grus.

NOTE: The hearing ultimately went longer than expected and was not completed on May 21st. The prosecution still has to respond to the defence submissions before the matter concludes. Proceedings were adjourned and will continue virtually on June 18th, where the remaining submissions are expected to be heard before adjudicator Chris Renwick renders a decision on penalty. Stay tuned for Zoom link and hearing details.

As the third and final day of Detective Helen Grus’ penalty hearing comes to a close, take a serious look at what the Ottawa Police Service has reduced itself to.

A detective facing punishment for asking questions about a significant rise in infant deaths is now being compared to officers involved in some of the most disgraceful forms of on duty misconduct imaginable.
That comparison alone says everything about where this process has gone.

And to Chris Renwick, the adjudicator in this case: you are a weak man who was unwilling to stand independently from the prosecution. Time after time, the defence was blocked, dismissed, or minimized while the institution closed ranks around itself.

The disgrace surrounding the Detective Helen Grus case does not end with you though. It extends to the prosecutors, command officers, professional standards investigators, and every officer who chose career protection over the duty to fully investigate concerns surrounding a cluster of infant deaths.

[Robert Kraychik @rkraychik]

Penalizing Constable Helen Grus would send a message to Ottawa cops that they "should no longer be police officers, and be political puppets," warned Bath-Sheba van den Berg, Grus's lawyer. It would "chill" police discretion/initiative related to political/controversial matters.

CBC tries to shut down lawsuit by @OttawaPolice Detective Helen Grus.

Few Canadians are aware that Detective Helen Grus is suing the @CBC for its "malicious and harassing" coverage of her story.

CBC lied from the getgo when it started covering the story of Detective Grus - even fomenting public outrage against Grus by falsely reporting that the detective had contacted coroners during her 2022 preliminary investigation into a cluster of infant deaths.

Ottawa Police tribunal officer Chris Renwick will sentence Grus in a hearing starting tomorrow, Tuesday May 19, 2026 at 930am - Huntmar Community Boardroom, 211 Huntmar, Kanata, ON. Public is invited.

Our friend @JayUnrau has all the CBC dirt in his new story at Juno News.

Happening LIVE right now at the Court of Appeal for Ontario.

The Crown is all but begging the court to give Pat King 5 years in prison over his role in one of the largest and most peaceful protests in Canadian history. For many Canadians, this case goes far beyond one man. It raises serious questions about protest, dissent, and the limits of state power in a free society.

The appeal is being heard by the following justices:

• Justice Madsen
• Justice Paciocco
• Justice Pomerance

Whatever happens to Mr. King today could shape how peaceful protest is treated in Canada going forward. If you can, watch the hearing and bear witness.

🚨CANADIANS: READ THIS🚨

The court just ruled officially - your government has NO legal duty to ensure the injections they MANDATE won't kill your child.

Sean Hartman. 17 years old. Dead 33 days after the shot. Case dismissed.

The judges? Appointed by the same people who mandated the needle.

The courtroom is their room. The ballot box is their box. Act accordingly.

Court of Appeal for Ontario
Justice Rene Pomerance
Justice Bradley Miller
Justice Patrick Monahan

How do you want history to remember you?

Will you allow Dan’s case to proceed to Superior Court, where the evidence can be fully examined?
Or will it be stopped before that ever happens?

LET DAN HARTMAN HAVE HIS DAY IN COURT.
That’s all that’s being asked.

Background:
Dan Hartman is currently awaiting a decision from the Court of Appeal for Ontario on whether his wrongful death lawsuit against Pfizer will be allowed to proceed to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

His 17-year-old son, Sean Hartman, died in September 2021 after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.

The Ottawa Crown is bringing former Ontario MPP Randy Hillier back to court.

Before his successful 11(b) application (which was later overturned on appeal), Randy fully intended to proceed with a trial by judge and jury. As he mentions below, more updates coming soon:

Here’s what he had to say yesterday:

“Although I have beaten 34 charges against me, the machine won’t give up.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out with messages of support after yesterday’s disappointing court ruling. Your solidarity means everything and reminds us we’re in this fight together. I am deeply disappointed in the Ontario Court of Appeal’s decision on March 20 to overturn the stay of these politically motivated Freedom Convoy charges. Four years later, the lawfare continues.

Dan and many thousands of others just want acknowledgment. It’s fair to say many people commenting here lean conservative, but that doesn’t mean we can’t question or criticize the blue team. Support shouldn’t mean silence. Holding your own side accountable matters more, not less.
Opposing mandates was the easy part. Politically, it was a no brainer because the alternative would have cost him a large portion of his base. But leadership is not about taking the safe position when it is convenient.
When families started raising concerns, when troubling patterns were being discovered, that's when a leader is needed the most. The damage is still ongoing.
He was willing to speak out against oxycotin and challenge powerful interests there. So the real question is why stop there?
If the principle is protecting people and holding institutions accountable, then it should not depend on what is politically safe to say. It should apply across the board.
People do not expect perfection, but they do expect consistency and the willingness to at least acknowledge what many have experienced.

Dan Hartman now awaits the Ontario Court of Appeal’s decision on whether his case will proceed in Superior Court, as he seeks justice after the loss of his son following “the shot.”
