🎥📰🚨CCJ Media Accountability Breakdown

CTV’s coverage of the Ottawa police detective case frames the story as one of misconduct — focusing on “unauthorized access” and breaches of protocol.

What’s missing is context.

This was a period marked by unprecedented public health measures, reduced transparency, and heightened institutional pressure to stay on narrative. During that time, unusual child deaths raised questions that many Canadians expected to see investigated openly and independently.

Instead, mainstream media largely repeated official statements and framed questioning itself as the problem.

If media organizations had done their jobs properly — investigating anomalies, questioning public health narratives, and demanding transparency — then perhaps none of this would have happened. A lone detective wouldn’t have felt compelled to ask questions on her own. Families might have had answers. And perhaps lives wouldn’t have been lost.

What troubles me most is not that an officer asked questions — it’s that the system failed so badly she felt she had to.

When hospitals, public health authorities, oversight bodies, and the media all fail to act, conscience-driven individuals step in — and they’re often the ones punished.

This is not about defending misconduct.
It’s about questioning why asking questions was treated as the real offense.
