My special guest this week is Det. Helen Grus of the Ottawa Police Force. Det. Grus testified recently at the Allison Inquiry. She was suspended in February, 2022 for investigating whether the doubling or tripling of infant deaths in Ottawa might be connected to the rollout of the covid vaccines and the injections of pregnant women and nursing mothers. Her investigation was halted and she herself was disciplined and demoted for her efforts to uncover the causes of death, although that was part of her job at the time. A documentary, Silencing Detective Grus, has been made about the attempts to discredit her and her work.

My special guest this week is Päivi Räsänen, a medical doctor and, for over 31 years, a Member of Parliament in Finland. Päivi has been Minister of the Interior for Finland, Chair of the Christian Democratic Party of Finland and has held many other prominent roles. On March 26, 2026, the Finnish Supreme Court ruled against her in a 3-2 decision, fining her for her statements supporting a biblical view of gender and sexual relationships. They also banned her booklet “Male and Female He Created Them.” Päivi is now challenging that decision with an appeal to the European Court of Human Rights. She is standing firmly on the Word of God and courageously defending her right to free speech in a democratic society.

My special guest this week is Alberta constitutional lawyer, Leighton Grey. Mr. Grey shines a light on the Kamloops Residential School fiasco, the “unmarked graves” narrative and the impact this unsubstantiated claim has had on our nation. We talk about the irresponsible journalism that fanned the flames, the RCMP report that was never published, the burning of hundreds of churches that took place following the hysterical announcement of “mass graves” and “murdered children” and the fact that 5 years later, NOT ONE grave has been dug up and no material evidence has been found to support the wild claims made in June of 2021. Leighton also puts forward several clear suggestions to help Canada move forward with better policies for all Canadians, including our indigenous citizens. We also discuss his new book: Trials, Tribulations and Truth. Available at Amazon.

My guest this week is Tamara Lich, the resilient spokeswoman for the 2022 Truckers’ Convoy and for all Canadians who love freedom, justice and truth. We discuss the status of various court cases: her unjust conviction in the longest “mischief” trial in the history of the Commonwealth, her appeal of that conviction, the Crown’s appeal of her sentence, the $290 million civil suit against her and some of the truckers and the lawsuit she has now filed, claiming “malicious prosecution and negligent investigation” against her persecutors. With all the drama and challenges, she remains strong and passionate about the cause of justice and carries that into her work as a reporter / journalist for Rebel News! I continue to recommend her powerful book: "Hold the Line: My Story from the Heart of the Freedom Convoy."
