OPEN LETTER TO RCMP COMMISSIONER BRENDA LUCKI
RCMP National Headquarters
73 Leikin Dr
Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0R2
October 21, 2021
Dear Commissioner Brenda Lucki:
We respectfully submit this open letter to express our most sincere concerns and
resolute stand against the forced coercive medical intervention of Canadians,
and against the undue discrimination experienced by those exercising their
lawful right to bodily autonomy. We are not against vaccinations, but as law
enforcement officers, we cannot in good conscience willingly participate in
enforcing mandates that we believe go against the best interests of the people
we protect.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As Canadians, our constitutionally-protected freedoms precede the government,
and may only be temporarily limited if the majority of evidence justifies such
infringements as reasonable, provable, and guided by law. If presented with all
available evidence in a court, we firmly believe the government implemented
mandates would not hold up under scrutiny.
As experienced investigators, we look past what information is provided and
focus on how the information is presented. A proper investigation should be
conducted as objectively as possible, and follow the principle that it is better
to have questions that cannot be answered than to have answers that cannot be
questioned. A complete investigation must include full disclosure of all the
facts of the case, even contradictory evidence. Why, then, is there little to no
tolerance for free and open debate on this matter? Many credible medical and
scientific experts are being censored. Accordingly, we rightly have concerns
about “the science” we are being coerced to “follow”.
As representatives of our communities within the RCMP and representatives of the
RCMP in our communities, we have never witnessed such division in our country.
This sense of “Us versus Them” will be further fueled by having a police force
consisting only of “vaccinated” people, while serving communities consisting of
“unvaccinated” people, which goes against the community policing model the RCMP
has strived to achieve.
As law enforcement officers, we already face higher levels of stress and mental
illnesses due to the nature of our work. These have been compounded –
considerably – by mandates that we believe are deeply unethical, threatening our
livelihood, and dividing society.
As federal employees, what is being done to mitigate this stress? Moreover, what
assurances are we given that the injections will not cause short or long-term
side effects? What steps will be taken to ensure members are compensated for
adverse side effects?
Police officers are expected to preserve the peace, uphold the law, and defend
the public interest. We strongly believe that forced and coerced medical
treatments undermine all three and, thus, contradict our duties and
responsibilities to Canadians. We remain loyal to the Charter and Bill of Rights
and ask you to send investigators to collect statements from medical
professionals (and other reliable witnesses) who allege they have been silenced
– putting lives at risk. Allow us to make this information publicly available to
all so the public can scrutinize it and achieve informed consent.
ABOUT US
This letter was created from the collective thoughts, beliefs, and opinions of
actively serving police officers of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)
from across the country. We have a wealth of experience which includes, but is
not limited to, General Duty, Federal Serious and Organized Crime, School
Liaison, Prime Minister Protection Detail, Emergency Response Team, Media
Relations, and Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit. We come from various
ranks, levels of experience, communities, cultural backgrounds, religious
beliefs, and vaccination statuses. Together we are the Mounties for Freedom. We
are individual police officers who united in the belief that citizens, including
federal employees, should not be forced and coerced into taking a medical
intervention.
OUR STANCE
In August 2021, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced, “Federal
public servants need to be fully vaccinated,” and that for those without a
medical exemption who choose not to be vaccinated: “There will be
consequences”1.
Since that statement, many federal employees have been told they will be sent
home without pay for refusing to receive a contested medical treatment. We have
united in the belief that people should not be forced or coerced into receiving
the current COVID-19 treatments – it should be voluntary. We stand united
against the forced and coerced medical intervention of Canadians and against the
discrimination faced by those who have exercised their right to bodily autonomy.
We believe in democracy, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the
Bill of Rights.
This is not about whether people should be vaccinated – that is a personal
choice.
THE LAW
Our primary duty as peace officers in the RCMP is the preservation of peace2. We
have never witnessed the level of division in our country as we currently see
from the COVID-19 pandemic. It is our responsibility, now more than ever, to
make all efforts at preserving the peace in our country.
The Charter of Rights and Freedoms (the Charter) protects fundamental rights and
freedoms essential to keeping Canada a free and democratic society3. The
Canadian Bill of Rights adds, “… the Canadian Nation is founded upon principles
that acknowledge … the dignity and worth of the human person and the position of
the family in a society of free men and free institutions.4” It continues to
say, “Affirming also that men and institutions remain free only when freedom is
founded upon respect for moral and spiritual values and the rule of law.5”
We believe our federal and provincial governments have failed to uphold the
Charter, Bill of Rights, and Constitution and we are witnessing the erosion of
democracy in Canada. As you know, the Charter does not guarantee absolute
freedoms. If the government is going to limit freedoms, it must establish the
limitations are reasonable given all available facts. The government must adhere
to a process to prove their actions are appropriate, called the Oakes test. We
firmly believe, if presented with all available evidence in a court, the
government implemented mandates would not pass the Oakes test. At the time of
writing this letter, the Charter’s section 33 Notwithstanding Clause has not
been invoked for this pandemic.
Requiring mandatory COVID-19 treatment options is a slippery slope and allows
the government to overstep its authority unchecked. It infringes on the
fundamental belief in our society that the individual has the right and freedom
to choose. The choice of whether to receive medical treatments has always been
an individual’s right in Canada. The Canadian National Report on Immunization
(1996) stated “Immunization is not mandatory in Canada; it cannot be made
mandatory because of the Canadian Constitution.6” Section 2 of The Charter
guarantees these fundamental freedoms through the freedom of conscience
(subsection a) and the freedom of thought, belief, opinion, and expression
(subsection b)7. Without individuals having the freedom to choose, we would not
have a democratic society.
Though the Nuremberg Code is not a law, it is internationally accepted and falls
in line with the spirit of our Charter and Bill of Rights. A key component of
the Nuremberg Code is that participants in a medical experiment need to
participate voluntarily without any form of force or coercion8. We have obtained
documentation from several Canadian doctors who have explained the current
COVID-19 treatment options in Canada, being referred to as “vaccines”, were
recently authorized as new drugs despite the absence of long-term data9.
According to these accredited Canadian doctors, these treatment options did not
meet the criteria of true vaccines until very recently when the definition of
vaccine was changed10,11. Without long-term data, these vaccines are still
experimental. We believe the act of removing the rights and freedoms of citizens
who refuse to participate in specific COVID-19 treatment options is a form of
coercion.
The Criminal Code contains our country’s Criminal Offences and explains that a
person commits an assault by intentionally applying force to someone else
without that person’s consent12. The Criminal Code further explains that consent
is not obtained from a person who submits, or neglects to resist, on the grounds
of authority being exercised over them13. How then can someone give proper
consent to a COVID-19 treatment injection when doing so under the threat of
losing their job, freedoms, or livelihood? Canadian courts have already ruled
that medical treatment without proper informed consent is an assault14.
As law enforcement officers, we cannot in good conscience willingly participate
in enforcing mandates that violate the laws of our country and breach the rights
and freedoms of the people we protect.
LEST WE FORGET
Each year, on the 11th of November, we remember those who sacrificed their lives
for our freedoms. From Flanders Field to Juno Beach, many Canadians have bled
and died fighting tyrannical nations. We need to remember past events to prevent
the repetition of history’s greatest mistakes.
On the 30th of September, we had the opportunity to reflect on such times during
our first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Under the direction of the
Government of Canada, RCMP members were once issued lawful orders to remove
children from their homes and transport them to residential schools. Canada is
still recovering from the impact of those decisions and actions. The RCMP has
yet to regain the trust of some citizens.
There was a time when scientists believed humans were divided into racial
hierarchies and that a person’s intelligence level and characteristics were
determined by race15. These beliefs were not heavily contested and were widely
accepted as scientific fact16. Phrenology was also widely accepted as being a
legitimate scientific study17. These are not examples of science being wrong but
of people conducting poor investigations or misunderstanding their findings.
These are just two of several historical examples of widely accepted scientific
truths, which became ridiculed practices.
We look back at those times of racial hierarchy and wonder how something so
wrong could have been so widely accepted as truth. It is just as hard for many
people to conceptualize how RCMP officers could have blindly followed lawful
orders that devastated so many lives. Yet now we find ourselves in dangerous
waters, when RCMP officers are being forced under coercion and duress to
participate in actions they believe go against the spirit of Canadian laws.
We find it ironic that an organization that preaches the honour and respect of
Canadian values, and the sacrifice of their veterans, would support actions that
contradict the values our veterans fought to uphold. Enforcement of
identification and checkpoints was an early step in what would become the
Holocaust. Canadian citizens of various backgrounds are being segregated and
punished for choosing not to disclose a personal medical decision. We cannot
think of a more ironic and cruel way for our governments to pay homage to the
sacrifices Canadians have made worldwide to protect individual freedoms than by
participating in a process that takes those freedoms away.
Today, instead of having one version of scientific “truth” during this pandemic,
we have versions that contradict one another. How can some professionals be so
certain their interpretation of science is correct when others give evidence to
the contrary? History has already demonstrated we get things wrong even when our
scientists agree.
We acknowledge there is a spectrum filled with beliefs relating to this
pandemic. For the sake of simplicity, we will refer to two main schools of
thought: the common narrative (those who believe the current COVID-19 treatment
injections are the way through the pandemic) and those who have concerns with
the COVID-19 treatment injections. It’s important to note we are not discussing
“antivaxxers” in this letter. We are discussing people with various vaccination
statuses who pose questions about the current COVID-19 treatment options being
forced upon them.
THE SCIENCE
RCMP members are not scientists nor healthcare professionals; our profession is
law enforcement. We do not pretend to be experts in medical or scientific
fields, but we are experienced and professional investigators: we look for the
facts. Proper investigations follow simple practices that remain consistent
across most fields. These practices include but are not limited to: asking the
right questions, following evidence, being aware of how biases may affect
results, and allowing the evidence to point to the conclusion – not allowing the
conclusion to point to the evidence. Most importantly, a proper investigation
should be conducted as objectively as possible and follow the principle that it
is better to have questions that cannot be answered than to have answers that
cannot be questioned. A complete investigation must include full disclosure of
all the facts of the case, even contradictory evidence.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused several scientists and medical professionals to
provide us with information they described as “science”, “scientific”, or
“facts”. The problem with many of these statements is that the provided
information often contradicted another piece of “scientific fact” that an
equally qualified professional had produced. This makes it near impossible for
the average person to know what to believe and what not to believe.
As experienced investigators, we look past what information is provided and
focus on how the information is presented. This allows us some insight into the
credibility of the information. Some professionals make definitive statements
such as “It’s safe and effective” or “This is the way”, giving little or no
explanation of how they reached their conclusion. When the information provided
is challenged or questioned, the response often indicates the answer is
something that cannot be questioned. The CDC recently changed its definition of
immunity and vaccine10,11, allowing the current COVID-19 treatment injections to
fit the definition. This is an example of actions taken when you allow your
conclusion to point to your evidence.
Other qualified professionals have provided alternate pieces of information
during this pandemic. It is not what their results were, but how they arrived at
their results that we believe in. These professionals have all been able to
articulate their findings quite well and are quick to admit the remaining
questions they cannot answer. These professionals (from Canada18 and abroad19)
have expressed warnings and concerns with the current COVID-19 treatment options
condoned by the governments. Some of these concerns suggest a
higher-than-average number of moderate to severe side-effects from the COVID-19
“vaccinations” compared with our traditional vaccinations19. Others have stated
the current COVID-19 treatment options are proving to be less effective than
initially believed20,21.
We have attached several documents as appendices to this letter which contain
information we believe raises reasonable concerns with the current COVID-19
vaccination mandates seen across our country. We encourage you to review the
documents and the work each document references thoroughly. Though we understand
we have provided a lot of material – which will take time and resources to read
– we believe the fact that there is so much evidence opposing the mandatory
roll-out of the current COVID-19 treatments is reason enough to take our
concerns seriously.
There have also been scientific papers that suggest natural immunity is a better
form of protection than what the COVID-19 vaccination can give21-24. Why is
antibody testing not being discussed as a potential option for RCMP members?
Here is a list of the documents we’ve attached to this letter. These documents
are a sample of what is available and were written by people (or groups) of
scientific or medical professionals in fields directly related to the COVID-19
pandemic. We defer to their expertise.
* Appendix A – This is an open letter from Dr. Eric Payne, a pediatric
neurologist in Alberta, to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta.
In his letter, Dr. Payne highlights several inconsistencies he has found with
the common narrative. Dr. Payne provides several sources from around the
world throughout his letter.
* Appendix B – This is the Canadian Covid Care Alliance Declaration. This
heavily sourced document provides information on the current pandemic and
makes recommendations based on their findings.
* Appendix C – This is a letter from Dr. Byram Bridle, a viral immunologist in
Ontario, to the President of the University of Guelph. Dr. Bridle uses his
extensive experience and qualifications to explain his concerns with the
common narrative surrounding the COVID-19 treatment injections. Dr. Bridle
also articulates his concerns with the COVID-19 health mandates.
* Appendix D – This is an open letter from Health Professionals United to the
Alberta Health Services. The letter outlines reasons why several frontline
healthcare workers in Alberta heavily oppose mandatory COVID-19 vaccination
mandates.
* Appendix E – This is an open letter from frontline healthcare workers in
British Columbia to Dr. Bonnie Henry, Adrian Dix, and Premier John Horgan.
The author(s) state their experiences and expertise are being ignored and ask
that the vaccination mandates be revoked.
* Appendix F – This is a report from Dr. Tess Lawrie from the United Kingdom.
Dr. Lawrie demonstrates the abnormal number of reported adverse effects from
the current COVID-19 treatment injections.
* Appendix G – This is a comprehensive report comparing natural immunity to
COVID-19 vs Vaccine-Induced Immunity. It was comprised from several
scientists from Ontario and British Columbia.
CENSORSHIP
We are not against vaccinations, and we are trying to aid our country through
this pandemic. We want to participate in a way that is safe for both our
physical and mental well-being. We believe it is essential for people to
participate with full informed consent by understanding all the risks of what
they are being asked (or in this case forced) to participate in.
As experienced police officers, we have become accustomed to the media
portraying us negatively or experienced the media misrepresenting the outcome of
a police incident. It would be little to no surprise for us to hear that a media
agency misreported an incident. However, it was surprising for us to learn that
several of these scientists and doctors, who questioned the information fueling
the COVID-19 treatment mandates, also spoke of censorship25-27.
As experienced investigators, we know it is our responsibility to present all
available facts to the public – by proxy of the courts. It is not our place to
decide what the outcome of an investigation should be. Our job is to collect all
available facts so that the public (the courts) can make an informed decision.
We have learned from past mistakes that presenting evidence that only supports
one side, while ignoring or refusing to acknowledge evidence from another side,
is wrong and tarnishes an investigation. We cannot provide evidence from
witnesses who agree on one story while ignoring or hiding the witnesses who
agree on a different account of an incident.
It would be unthinkable that RCMP members would blatantly disregard witnesses in
an investigation to mislead the courts. The investigation would lose all
integrity and the members would be criticized. Why then are we allowing this
same behaviour to occur by other public figures? There are accredited medical
professionals from our own country who are desperately trying to have their
findings heard. Instead of allowing these professionals to speak freely and
discuss their results publicly, they are being silenced by governing
bodies25-27.
Our experience in law enforcement and as investigators have allowed us to see
how crucial it is that these professionals be allowed to speak openly and
publicly. Without the information being included in discussions, we believe the
citizens of Canada (including RCMP members) are not receiving the information
they need to make an informed decision. This is contrary to our laws and
beliefs, and we do not support it.
These medical professionals have tried to stand up and support their country. We
are now standing up and supporting them. They must be allowed to share their
information publicly to maintain people’s faith in the government. If the people
believe the government is continuing to censor experts, the country will fall
into instability. This is common around the world in countries whose tyrannical
governments sensor information from their people.
DISCRIMINATION
We strongly oppose the discrimination that has already begun to create
segregation in our country. It has divided families, ended friendships, torn
apart spouses, and entered the RCMP workplace. We believe the current messaging
being put out by our provincial and federal governments is promoting the
creation of an in-group referred to as “Vaccinated” and an out-group as
“Unvaccinated”. Even worse, the out-group has been labelled “Anti-vaxxers,” a
term used out of context in a negative and derogatory way. The messaging from
our governments is causing the dehumanization of the “Unvaccinated” group. By
dehumanizing the out-group, an institution creates a greater divide between them
and the in-group.28
Police agencies across Canada pride themselves in their efforts to hire officers
reflective of the communities they serve. This allows community members to
relate to their officers and see them as part of the community. We are
representatives of our communities within the RCMP and representatives of the
RCMP in our communities. Having a police force consisting only of “vaccinated”
people while serving communities consisting of “unvaccinated” people will tear
down some of the similarities RCMP members share with their communities. This
will create a greater sense of “Us versus Them” between communities and police,
which contradicts the community policing model the RCMP has strived to achieve
for decades. We anticipate that unless this is corrected soon, it will continue
to increase the divide in our country.
Dehumanizing individuals is challenging. It is easier to attach a label and
stigma to a group. That way, anyone or anything that comes from the group can be
written off28. The term “Anti-vaxxer” is currently being used to mislabel and
group people into a category to take away their credibility. This has allowed
things to be written and said against this group that would be intolerable if
written or said about any other group.
On August 26th, 2021, the Toronto Star ran an article that read in large bold
letters, “I have no empathy left for the wilfully unvaccinated. Let them die. I
honestly don’t care if they die from COVID. Not even a little bit. Unvaccinated
patients do not deserve ICU beds. At this point, who cares. Stick the
unvaccinated in a tent outside and tend to them when the staff has time.29,30”
If “willfully unvaccinated” was replaced with “Black”, “Gay”, or “willfully
Muslim”, this would have been labelled a Hate Crime. How then can we allow such
things to be said about people who choose not to receive a medical intervention?
Should we allow the same messaging for those who choose not to get a flu shot
one season?
The boldness of this statement being printed in a major newspaper shows how
acceptable it is in our society to treat people as a lower class of citizens. As
RCMP members, we must preserve peace in our communities and put a stop to this.
PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH
This pandemic has increasingly made people feel isolated from their friends,
families, and peers. RCMP members already face higher levels of stress and
mental illnesses due to the nature of our work. Members affected by the
double-vaccination mandate have faced greater stress and isolation as they have
watched their status as citizens and regular members begin to diminish. There is
currently insufficient support for these members, and there does not seem to be
a plan insight to provide adequate support.
The recent vaccination update has left some people feeling more isolated than
ever. In times like this, people need support from a community, and our
membership is no different. We fear there are more members afraid to speak up
about these recent updates for fear of being targeted. Many members may be
trying to stick this out on their own, or worse, suffering in silence. We ask
that you attempt to reach out in partnership with the NPF to all members who may
be negatively affected by these mandates and let them know their employer and
governments support them.
Though most people seem to have little to no side effects from the COVID-19
treatment injections, an abnormal number of moderate to severe adverse reactions
have included death31. What assurances are we given that the injections will not
cause short or long-term side effects? Studies show that stress and sleep can
play a huge factor in whether a vaccine is effective or not32,33. Are you
ensuring RCMP members are provided with the appropriate amount of rest before an
injection? What steps will the RCMP take to ensure members are compensated for
adverse side effects?
We also believe enough evidence has been presented to question whether our
governments’ actions in this pandemic are the most appropriate. This is causing
moral and ethical stressors for some members as they no longer believe their
role as police officers is reflective of the democracy Canada claims to be.
Mental health and stress levels will have an impact on how members interact with
the public.
PARALLELING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
The RCMP has taught us the importance and severity of domestic violence.
Domestic violence is centred around power and control between an abuser and a
victim. One of the biggest problems with domestic violence is there is often an
escalation in the severity of abuse. RCMP members have been taught how to
identify the signs that someone is involved in an abusive relationship. There
are different types of abuse the abuser may engage in to keep control over their
victim: Physical, Financial, and Emotional.
Emotional abuse is quite complex and will often include a variety of tactics
such as socially distancing the victim from friends and family, discrediting the
victim so they have difficulty obtaining support from others, and making the
victim believe that their thoughts and beliefs are wrong – to the point the
victim thinks they must be insane. When it comes to finances, an abuser will
withhold money and assets from the victim. This ensures the victim cannot
survive without remaining in the abusive relationship with the abuser. When an
abuser feels they are losing control over their victim, it is quite common for
them to escalate their tactics to maintain control.
The federal government is currently displaying several of those traits with its
own employees, including the RCMP34.
Commissioner Lucki, we understand your position is appointed, and we are
concerned that you too may be subject to a similar relationship with the Prime
Minister. Though you, as our top Mountie, should be impartial, you may be forced
into supporting some of these actions out of duress. We ask that you do what we
ask our domestic violence victims to do – to take a stand against the abuser.
This country needs strong and supportive people in positions of authority.
Please show Canadians that the RCMP will remain impartial to political agendas
and true to the Charter and our Bill of Rights.
PUBLIC INTEREST
Lastly, we want to draw attention to the public safety issues that will arise if
these COVID-19 mandates are upheld.
Pierre Elliot Trudeau once said, “There’s no place for the state in the bedrooms
of the nation.35” How is it our federal government is now saying it will be
mandatory for employees working from home to receive the COVID-19 treatment
injections?36
Regardless of their vaccination statuses, there are RCMP members who feel the
steps taken by the federal and provincial governments are too extreme and do not
have the best interest of Canadian citizens. Forcing these mandates will cause
several RCMP officers to lose faith in the federal government’s commitment to
the Charter. These RCMP officers will not participate in actions they believe
contradict their morals, ethics, and Canadian laws. These RCMP officers believe
it is their responsibility to challenge the federal government in court if
necessary.
The RCMP, which is already understaffed, will have additional gaps to fill
across the country when these members are not working. Communities will have
lost healthy and experienced officers, causing a decrease in available
resources. There will also be an increase in taxpayers’ spending as the federal
government attempts to fill these gaps. Being short-staffed will have a
trickle-down effect causing fewer RCMP bodies to be available to properly
recruit, assess, and conduct adequate background checks on potential cadets.
Our experience in law enforcement and as investigators have allowed us to see
how crucial it is that professionals be allowed to speak openly and publicly.
Without including their information in discussions, we believe the citizens of
Canada (including RCMP members) are not receiving the information they need to
make an informed decision. This is contrary to our laws and beliefs, and we do
not support it.
We want to reiterate a point stated earlier in this letter, so it is remembered.
If the people believe the government is continuing to censor experts, the
country will fall into instability. We are experts in law enforcement and
investigations. We are losing faith in the motives of our government, and we
will not willingly participate in actions against people whose Charter rights
and freedoms are being violated.
CALL TO ACTION
Commissioner Lucki, we ask that you represent the best image of the RCMP by
remaining loyal to the Charter and Bill of Rights and not to any particular
public figure. Our job as Mounties is to preserve the peace. If we continue down
this road of segregation and discrimination, we risk repeating past mistakes.
The divide in our society is quickly leaning toward a level of national
security. We ask that you open an investigation to ensure no criminal acts were
committed in the dissemination of information from federal and provincial health
authorities or public figures in positions of trust. We ask you to send
investigators to collect statements from medical professionals (and other
reliable witnesses) who allege they had been silenced – putting lives at risk.
Allow us to make this information publicly available to all so the public can
scrutinize it and achieve informed consent. As Canada’s national police force,
we are unique in our ability to conduct a large-scale cross-country
investigation, which must be transparent to regain trust in the government.
We also ask that you challenge the Federal Government’s decision to send
Mounties home without pay for decisions they’ve made on beliefs protected by
Canadian laws. Neither the RCMP, nor the communities they serve, can endure the
loss of experienced police officers.
We await your response and your plan of action.
Respectfully,
Mounties for Freedom
