Summary
Vincent Gircys testifies about troubling trends he has observed in Canadian policing in recent years. He expresses concern about the erosion of the separation between politics and policing, with political interference becoming more common. Gircys criticizes the shift away from merit-based hiring towards diversity quotas, which he believes compromises the quality of police forces.
He discusses the case of Detective Helen Grus of the Ottawa Police Service, who was disciplined for investigating a cluster of infant deaths potentially linked to COVID-19 vaccines. Gircys views this as persecution of a whistleblower and an attempt to suppress important information. He details alleged misconduct by senior Ottawa police officials in handling Grus’s case.
Gircys shares his experience of being warned by senior OPP officials not to speak publicly about pandemic policies, which he sees as an attempt to silence dissent. He argues that Canadian children are being put at risk by ideological capture of institutions and suppression of important information.
The witness expresses concern about police adopting questionable information from sources like the World Economic Forum to guide their practices. He calls for greater accountability for government officials who violate rights and for restoring integrity to policing. Gircys urges a return to merit-based hiring and independent investigation of potential wrongdoing, even when it implicates those in power.
