Ottawa Police Service

populationsSo then there you are as the senior military, uh, commander in the room whe- during the f- the Freedom Convoy in the, um, beginning of 2022.

The Ottawa Police, a bunch of folks came from around the country that they, it, it, it sounded like they'd be there for a weekend.

They were there for three weeks.

The Ottawa Police seemed paralyzed.

The Premier of Ontario was washing his hands of the whole affair, and some people turned to you.

And there's an extraordinary moment in your book where you tell them what exactly they have in mind when they have you in mind.

He's speaking directly to his officers in an internal video first made public by CBC.

At the time, the Ottawa Police Service was dealing with the fallout from a number of cases of sexual misconduct.

Last week, I received a letter from a group of women in our organization that I trust a great deal.

I won't quote the whole letter, but will give you this snippet.

The listing reportedly showed the sign as being sold for $700, although CBC has not, eh, been able to independently verify the sale.

Ottawa Police say they've opened an investigation after receiving a report from the city.

The timing, of course, is what makes this especially strange.

The sign vanished almost immediately after council voted to change the street's name, which had been in place for about two decades.

Um-

I, I wonder if they actually called the OPP or the Ottawa Police-

[laughs]

... and asked them for some good trivia questions.

Ottawa Police put out a couple of requests for information, requests for witnesses in relation to two separate incidents that happened last weekend here in Stittsville.

They are looking for witnesses to a very, very serious collision on Hazeldean at Tillage.

That's kind of where the Five Guys and the Value Village are on Hazeldean Road, the big box stores.

And then they're also looking for any information about a suspicious vehicle in the Westwood neighborhood.

There was some kind of an incident on Clapham at Finsbury and they are looking for a white Honda Civic.

So if you have any doorbell cam footage or anything that might be able to help police, you can find that information on the Ottawa Police website.

Just around the corner here at Oroville and Pretty Street, it's the old Pretty Street Community Center.

And then to hear the experts testify that I listened to and witnessed was really, really quite amazing.

This police officer, Helen Gruss, I was a police officer in Ottawa, in the Ottawa Police Department.

And I've been involved with her and her attorney for the last, it seems, several years because her assignment as a police officer was She was on the squad that would detail and investigate infant deaths.

And in 2021, after the vaccine rollout and Trudeau had pushed all those vaccines, she saw a massive increase in sudden infant death syndromes, SIDS.

and she, an attorney by the name of Bathsheba Vandenberg.

And so I've worked with them for a couple of years.

I testified as an expert witness two or three years ago on their behalf with the Ottawa Police Department and all the expert testimony.

They would not allow that evidence to be presented to to the department or to the jury.
