Policing, Sovereignty, and Building a Force Alberta Can Trust
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
