The Lavigne Show

Join Paula & Jay over Tea & Coffee as they talk about the news of the day, life, and whatever comes up.

Former OPP constable Vincent Gircys (32 years’ service—ERT and forensic reconstruction) joins Jason Lavigne for a candid conversation about policing, governance, and Alberta’s path to self-determination. From the Freedom Convoy intelligence gap and the Helen Grus case to how global institutions and media ecosystems shape enforcement, Gircys argues Alberta should “proceed with caution, but proceed” toward a truly provincial, depoliticized police service with real firewalls from political power, whistleblower protections, and merit-based hiring.

We cover:

- Why Alberta needs its own police, and how to keep it independent of the political class

- RCMP vs. OPP intelligence during the Convoy and what Alberta can learn

- Media narratives, censorship pressures, and their impact on policing culture

- Safeguards: whistleblower protection, transparent oversight, merit-based promotion

- “Rule of law” concerns and what a sovereignty or autonomy model must fix on day one
