Inside the Grus Case: Affidavits, Medical Evidence, and the Birth of a Justice Movement

1. The Hearing and the Affidavits

The discussion begins with an update on Detective Helen Grus’ disciplinary hearing, which took a dramatic turn when the defense submitted a large package of new evidence.

“These are affidavits in favor of Detective Grus and the consequences associated with the penalty that’s about to be imposed… performance evaluations and letters of commendation over the course of her tenure.”

The hearing officer was initially determined to proceed but realized the prosecution needed time to review the materials—“at least a thousand or 2,000 pages.” After taking an hour to skim through the documents, he became visibly distressed.

“He was quite distraught… He had mentioned that there is medical information contained in these affidavits and I’m not sure I’m going to allow this information to be introduced.”

Among the documents was an affidavit by Natasha Gonic, which appeared to contain sensitive and potentially incriminating information.

“It became very clear that there was evidence submitted… extremely damning and damaging… with medical information.”

As a result, the hearing was adjourned until January or February 2025, marking a major delay in the sentencing process.

2. The Natasha Gonic Revelation and Its Implications

The mention of Natasha Gonic’s affidavit generated strong reactions among participants. The speaker suggested that her testimony could implicate high-ranking officials:

“If you start to use your imagination on what Natasha Gonic knows… there’s a high likelihood that what she knows and what she has revealed is sitting on the Chief of Ottawa’s desk right now.”

He characterized the situation as a “checkmate”, implying that the Ottawa Police leadership now faced a moral and legal dilemma:

“Either he’s going to ignore it and become complicit in the crimes or he’s going to have to address it one way or another.”

3. Reactions and Adjournment

Following this revelation, the hearing officer halted proceedings. Defense lawyer Bashiba Vandenberg tried to have Detective Grus testify, but the officer refused:

“He immediately shut down the sentencing hearing and put it off to a later date.”

The adjournment was described as a “very good development”, giving supporters time to organize further affidavit submissions.

“We now have additional time for other people to submit affidavit submissions on behalf of Helen’s case.”

Supporters were encouraged to submit statements through donnbest.ca, ideally from judges, senior police officials, politicians, or doctors.

4. Launch of the Grus Justice Project

A central focus of the meeting was the announcement of a new national initiative: the Grus Justice Project, launched just days earlier.

“A number of us have been working diligently on a project that we just launched on Wednesday — and that is the Grus Justice Project. It’s available at grjusticeproject.org.”

The project has two goals:

1. Re-establishing the rule of law, and
   
   

2. Restoring police autonomy free from political interference.
   
   

“This will be the first of its kind in Canada… similar to Vaccine Choice Canada, but in the justice system for law enforcement.”

Directors named were Jazelle, Ted, Vincent, and Donald Best, with plans to expand the leadership. The group framed the project as “law-enforcement-friendly”, seeking collaboration rather than confrontation.

5. Restoring Integrity: “Post the Oath” Initiative

One of the first initiatives under the project is called “Post the Oath.”
Its goal: to ensure police officers remember and uphold their constitutional duties.

“I can honestly say, based on my interviews of hundreds of police officers, not one of them can recite the oath.”

The group proposed posting the police oath and the supremacy clause of the Canadian Constitution in stations and offices.

“We’re going to make it an issue that the oath be printed and posted… so officers are constantly reminded of what their oath is.”

This would lead to further steps reminding officers that laws conflicting with the Constitution are null and void.

6. Blue Line Magazine and Media Influence

The conversation then shifted to media bias within policing culture, particularly an article in Blue Line Magazine — a national publication read by most Canadian law enforcement officers.

“I just stumbled across something… an article from Blue Line about Diagalon being considered a pseudo-terrorist organization.”

The speaker condemned the article’s sources — the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the Canadian Anti-Hate Network — calling them “probably among the least trustworthy organizations on the planet.”

He accused Blue Line of publishing “complete garbage information with no footnotes or data,” emphasizing how such material shapes officers’ attitudes.

“You wonder why they have this certain mindset when approaching protesters.”

The group plans to confront the publication:

“If Blue Line Magazine doesn’t want to work with us… we’ll do a whole article on Blue Line Magazine and expose what they’re printing.”

7. Financial and Community Support

Participants stressed that sustaining the project requires financial contributions and public engagement.

“We can’t do it alone… We’re going to require some financial support so that we can do our mailings and keep the lights on.”

Donations can be made via gjusticepro.org, using e-transfer, PayPal, Stripe, or even cryptocurrency.

“The more money we have, the louder our voice is going to be.”

Several speakers highlighted a decline in donations to freedom-related initiatives since 2023.

“Donations have dropped anywhere from 50 to 100%. Everyone thinks this is over. It’s not over.”

8. Broader Context: Independence of Law Enforcement

Speakers emphasized that the Grus case is not just about one officer, but about the integrity of Canadian law enforcement as a whole.

“This isn’t Helen Grus on trial. This is our justice system, our law enforcement system on trial.”

The project also announced collaboration with documentary filmmakers, including Todd Harris (producer of Informed Consent and The Journey of David and Collet Stephan), to tell the Grus story.

“She is going to produce a 10-minute intro to the Helen Grus story for us.”

They also plan to work with DRS (Doctors for Responsible Solutions) to create a special edition on policing in Canada.

9. Medical and Ethical Dimensions

Toward the end, participants revisited the public health angle that led to Detective Grus’ discipline — her investigation into sudden infant deaths possibly linked to maternal vaccination.

“They shut down an investigation that was absolutely critical to the health of our infants.”

One participant added:

“Sudden infant death syndrome has been related for some time to childhood vaccinations… but not to vaccination of mothers during pregnancy.”

They characterized this suppression as part of a larger pattern of institutional misconduct.

10. Closing Reflections

The session closed with a call for collective action and vigilance.

“The success of this program… is going to rely on the citizens of this country. If we get the support, it will flourish. If not, it’s going to crash.”

The founders see the Grus Justice Project as a “baby taking its first steps” — a symbolic effort to reclaim accountability in law enforcement.

“We’ve gone as far as we can go alone. It’s going to take a lot of horsepower to get this going.”

Summary Statement

The meeting paints a vivid picture of a movement emerging from the Helen Grus case, where medical evidence, political interference, and institutional resistance converge. The Grus Justice Project is positioned as both a defense of one officer and a broader effort to restore legal integrity, police independence, and public trust in Canada’s justice system.
