The government of Canada never fails to shock me with its sheer stupidity and utter contempt for all living things. They are in the business of terrorism for control. This is another action designed to demoralize the people and instill in them the knowledge and fear that they are powerless under the rule of the globalist WEF Liberals.
Thank you, Trish, for your courage and clarity in covering this story and for allowing Katie to speak so vulnerably and powerfully.
You’re absolutely right, this is not just about the ostriches. But it’s also not just about CFIA overreach or bureaucratic cruelty.
What’s happening here is part of a global biosecurity regime, driven by the One Health framework...a binding structure championed by the WHO, WOAH, and UN agencies under Agenda 2030. Canada is fully aligned with this agenda, without meaningful public debate or parliamentary scrutiny.
The goal is clear:
- Reduce independent farms
- Phase out real meat
-Replace immune-rich, natural treatments with patented alternatives (this must be done swiftly in order to allow Emergency Use "vaccines"
-And centralize food, health, and environmental regulation under unelected foreign bureaucrats
Universal Ostrich Farm is not a one-off. It is not a misstep.
It is a deliberate elimination of biological sovereignty ... getting two birds with one stone you might say:
1. Keep fear of H5N1 alive
2. Stamp out a natural therapeutic rival to the pharmaceutical-industrial complex
The government is not preparing for a spontaneous pandemic... they are preparing for deployment of another lab-leak, gain-of-function narrative. Just like COVID. And they’ve openly called it the “The Doomsday Virus.” Former head of CDC warned us this was next during the covid scam...
Meanwhile, Bill C-293, the so-called pandemic preparedness act, will soon be reintroduced, giving federal authorities sweeping new powers that bypass farmers, parliament, and science alike. Everyone should read it.
Pathogens don’t jump species and mutate with high transmissibility on their own. This is military-grade biological policy, disguised as health protection.
Again, thank you for bringing attention to this. You’re helping people realize:
This isn’t about public health. It’s about public control. I would like to connect with you Trish, my substack is unlockalberta.substack.com
My thought: The ‘government’ in BC - is pushing through Bill 36 - the Heath Providers and Occupations Act (HPOA) and amongst other demands - is requiring that therapeutic (counselling & therapy professionals) training be “trauma informed”.
Perhaps this is one small glimpse into how come they are demanding this focus.
We are now ‘governed’ by trauma inducing/creating mandates/policies created by ‘people’ who seem to be very good at traumatizing Canadian citizens - for the ‘greater good’ - of course.
Keep the good & kind citizens in emotional, psychological and spiritual crisis & distracted - much easier to control then?
Wowzers, in 5 years this is the first of your podcasts that I had to pause and come back to. It broke me open like a dam.
The raw and naked contempt this agenda has for life, all forms of life, is crystallizing in so many people's minds these days. It's hard not to look into the darkness of it all.
One of the (many) things that stood out to me in this episode is the loss of property rights in our country. They are taking our guns, they are coming for our homes and this case will lay the path to taking our animals, too. The government has NO BUSINESS in our lives at this level. I agree with a fellow commenter that all of the nonsense we see in this country right now stems from the UN agenda for One Health and it doesn't get easier from here. We need more courage like we're witnessing in Katie and her family.
Thank you for taking the time to get this story out; as an animal lover I know it must have been so distressing for you, too. I really appreciate our community of people willing to do the hard things and not go down without a fight.
With so much respect, and all my Mother's Day love heading to BC today. (And Happy Mother's Day to you, too!)
You were very composed and my heart was aching for you both. The cruelty is off the charts. I am praying for common sense and also am humbled by Katie’s resolve to see whatever comes through in a way that honours those animals.
Just think Communism, it is not just about culling animals, it is about Liberal Communism setting the stage to cull Canada and Canadians thru their WEF Communist agenda thru Carney/Trudeau as their agents of destruction, it is not hidden agenda anymore, they are right in our face, they think are to stupid and Canadians will not fight back, wrong, the Trucker's Convoy is prime example of what happens when you really piss off Canadians,Trish, thanks for a great post, the Ostriches owe you one, maybe we should have a Ostrich Convoy.
Hi Trish, if you have time to read the post again, some times I have fat fingers, do not proof read what I wrote, now I feel better about the post how it should read initially.
Not communism it's fascism. The government making up their own rules for the Corporate agenda.
Their rules are often contraindicated, which is part of the psyop agenda. Causing us to question reality and grow more "dependent" upon the Corporate Socialists, after they keep saying they know better, then we begin to believe them.
We've gone through the looking glass. The Mad Queen isn't a communist, she's more a fascist.
Do not discount the CCP out of all that happens in Canada, the battle really is being fought B y the two largest economy’s, Trump and the CCP, Canada is just a prize to be won.
IF the CFIA follows through with this despicable act of cruelty, it will open the floodgates to their INVASION on every farming practice throughout the country. NOT only that, this will instill in the MINDS of those involved in this agency's possible carnage of terror unleashed on the ostriches and their owners, a feeling of having unprecedented POWER and AUTHORITY. I have no doubt that's how these crazed CFIA employees and their inside supporters are feeling now, which is why they're pushing this issue as hard as they can. There has most definitely been a huge shift in our society since 2020 one whereby those in some imaginary position of 'power' with even the slightest sociopathic bent have flourished as is clearly evident in this entire outlandish situation. I strongly suspect there is more going on behind the scenes driving this cull forward and it's no doubt a WEF supported one.
Basic question. Who do our civil servants think they work for? Do we need to have a loyalty oath where they swear fealty to the people of Canada, and not to the WEF, or a multinational organization, or even a political party
MAID is the most, probably only, successful program of the Turdeau Regime. That and the coerced, experimental mRNA gene therapy which was criminally mislabelled as a "vaccine".
It's not euthanasia, it's assisted suicide for those who no longer want to be on this stupid planet. And no, we should NOT spend endlessly more $$$ on curing fake diseases that are simply people ageing out and dying.
ALL humans should have the right to determine their end. I'm even at the point where I no longer care for Canada's silly model of healthcare. Let's tear it down. Get people taking care of their own health rather than relying on taxpayers for the fantasy of eternal life.
Great content today, Trish - there is still a lot of censorship on youtube. I highly recommend you use Rumble.com as well. So if your channel on youtube gets shut down you still have the rumble channel, and don't lose your intellectual property. I really like the way vivafrei handles it. First 30 min of content is on both platforms, and then he drops youtube and continues with rumble.com Just my 2 cents.
It took me a day or two to get up the courage to listen to this.
I didn't know about the Glos Alpaca incident but, l was living in England and in a village adjacent to dairy farm and lived through the BSE outbreak. From my upstairs bedroom window l could see the farmers pasture and heard his tractor digging a huge grave, then him having to walk his cows (and babies) to the edge and shoot them one by one. Then he had to fire up his tractor and push the dead animals into the pit, and light the fire which burned for days. Honestly the entire country smelled like a Texas BBQ.
I was discusted when l heard how the BC gov spent $20 million on sharp shooters and helicopters to "cull" a (too) large herd of wild deer on a virtually uninhabited island off their northern coast because they were destroying the flora and fauna!
I also heard about these ostriches a while back and l'm so upset it has come to this point. For what it's worth, l would strongly suggest this good lady get a good animal rights lawyer and get a Cease and Desist order a.s.a.p.. Where is the IFAW and Green Peace?
I'd also consider inviting our FIRST NATIONS elders to this cause because they understand animals, wildlife, migration, herd management and the natural world balance.
The WEF Globalists are hell-bent on reducing our population and attacking our food chain, attacking independant farmers/hunters and would rather we all eat crickets.
If you think about it, doesn't fascism always come through bureaucracies and the justice system, both of which are utterly supine and feed on handouts, from us of course but via the state?
I remember the Building Department, lacking only jackboots and swastikas at the time, not cooperating with and assisting the builder but looking for ways in which to exercise petty tyrannies.
Two cases in particular involved the 'Inspector' bullying and bluffing, or trying, to force some significant but totally unnecessary changes. Unwisely perhaps, and knowing that a vendetta would follow, I challenged and proved them wrong (and myself right) using the code and a being at City Hall called a 'Code Interpreter' - very Kafkaesque, non?
Because I had the code interpreter on side, who hierarchically tyrannized the 'Inspectors', nothing further occurred. I had won. Most people do not.
It was lovely watching Dr Meat, who is organically and by birthright a fascist and a bully, being abused and belittled by a Narcissist with bullying Fascist tendencies - Trump.
Carney, objectively speaking, got the shit beat out of him in Washington. People who think otherwise are not merely mistaken - they are assholes. By this shall you know them.
So Canadian State involvement in the Wuhan Lab and 'gain of function' bio-warfare 'research' in general is fine but this farm/lab for ostriches has to be severely punished?
In what world is this alright? And what kind of citizenry puts up with it?
The most frightening thing is that they will do this to people too when they consider it necessary for the 'greater good'.
Is it any wonder that the USA sees this place as unsovereign and not worthy of any respect at all?
I have accepted my titles of Conspiracy Theorist, Anti-vaxxer, Anti-Semite and supporter of radical Islamist terrorism, left-wing eco-warrior, animal rights advocate, and/or right-wing ... whatever?
I know the difference between right and wrong, evil and good and l'm sick of being told what to think or who to vote for.
I don't know why but your words strongly remind me of the trial transcript of Jeanna D'Arc. Under the tyranny of wanker-bankster Carney we may be headed into some interesting territory.
Sorry Frank, my remarks were not directed specifically towards you but, l am certainly no Joan of Arc. I'm just a retired 66 y.o. Canadian boomer that voted Conservative. ;-)
I am more of a poor Salem Witch, poisoned with Ergot that will be drowned in debt because being burned at the stake requires fossil fuels. Or a MAID injection because the CoVid Vax didn't quite finish me off.
Most women are naturally witches. Many developments of character and personality can be defined as unnatural. In fact, I guess civilization itself is somewhat unnatural.
When the trial for Universal Ostrich Farm was taking place at a court house on Georgia Street in Vancouver, mid-April, I walked over and sat in for the proceedings for one afternoon. It is mind-numbing to listen to the layering of arguments "for the public good," and blinkered thinking that leads to the "kill them all" culling solution. What next? When humans test positive for a PCR test in a household, will some agency decree that others in the house "on mere suspicion" of also being positive will need to be culled? Is this not the logical conclusion of this type of bureaucratic thinking by the new religion of inerrancy bestowed to the medical-scientific-technocratic folks whose salaries are thanks to our tax dollars?
The future of small farming in Canada is on the ropes with these kinds of policies. When an agency is above scrutiny, as seems to be the case here with Universal Ostrich Farm, we may as well be all walking around with t-shirts that read "Whatever you think, you're right" and "Government of Canada" somewhere else on the t-shirt.
Our society is continually treated to statements meant to end discussion: "Safe and effective," "Follow the Science," "The Science is Settled," etc. A new generation who will be our future leaders are being trained not to question, not to be skeptical. We, and those who are coming after us are being taught to watch what they say, and watch what they think.
Perhaps our drift from religious practice (of whatever stripe) has inadvertently slid into religious devotion of "the expert," the Minister in charge of X portfolio, the person in the white coat, or wearing the hazmat suit. Our society has been building shrines to these people for some time and the chickens (so to speak) are coming home to roost. And as a consequence, these ostriches, and other birds, livestock, and exotic pets, are in the crosshairs of this death-dealing bureaucracy. Until we as a society are able to look ourselves in the mirror, we will continue to go down this path.
The only reason our American brothers and sisters don't have to face this level of government/bureaucratic/technocratic tyranny is because they have the Second Amendment and are a well-armed society. Like it or not, firearms are the last resort to enforce your personal boundaries and say "no".
They have a Constitution which defines the listed Rights as "inalienable". We have a Charter, delivered by Turdeau pere, which his son has been wiping his ass with before handing it to Doctor Meat to do the same.
Sorry for the coarseness, reality is pissing me off big time.
Oh our American friends DO face this same bureaucratic tyranny. It's called BLM and it does not stand for black lives matter. It's the Bureau of Land Management. They have unfettered federal power just like CFIA. Plus they round up herds of wild horses and burros and donkeys by helicopter, running many of the young and pregnant to death, and what survives usually goes to slaughter.
That is discusting. They are doing horrible things to our wild horses here in Alberta as well. We are protesting but it falls on deaf ears. So much corruption.
Dr Meat has been sent to do two things; split Canada and the USA for Perfidious Albion and return the Canadian people to colonial serfdom - hence the 'assist' from the anachronism called King Floppy Ears who will grace us with his Throne Speech... oh, and to enrich himself and his co-conspirators.
The government of Canada never fails to shock me with its sheer stupidity and utter contempt for all living things. They are in the business of terrorism for control. This is another action designed to demoralize the people and instill in them the knowledge and fear that they are powerless under the rule of the globalist WEF Liberals.

Agreed, Connie. ONE-HUNDRED PERCENT!!! God bless these folks and their righteous fight. I am praying...
Thank you, Connie, for stating the obvious; it's about public control.
What wasn't mentioned is the fact that H1N1 is not transmissible to humans. This is absolutely another example of the Covid Mentality.
To be fair, the germophobic hysteria is about the POSSIBILITY of crossover from avian to humans.
I say let it fly!
I'm so fed up of germophobes pushing their fear of death onto everyone. We live, we die, Canadians need to get over themselves.

I had to choke back a few tears. The idea of how this will go down is horror movie level. That govt. reps are doing it is even more frightening.
You were very composed and my heart was aching for you both. The cruelty is off the charts. I am praying for common sense and also am humbled by Katie’s resolve to see whatever comes through in a way that honours those animals.

Absolutely. Same.

Gas lighting, whether it Fascism or Communism, either Canada is in a lot of trouble.
It seems that all western democracies have become what the Soviet Union was. Canada seems to be at the forefront of this dangerous trend.
Do not discount the CCP out of all that happens in Canada, the battle really is being fought B y the two largest economy’s, Trump and the CCP, Canada is just a prize to be won.
By "Soviet Union", I was not implying present day Russia. I suspect that they are the least of our worries.
I was alluding to the stifling bureaucracy and propaganda that is being imposed on what we once described as "Western Democracy".
I agree that Canada is being asked to pick a side. Sovereignty does not appear to be an option on the menu.
IF the CFIA follows through with this despicable act of cruelty, it will open the floodgates to their INVASION on every farming practice throughout the country. NOT only that, this will instill in the MINDS of those involved in this agency's possible carnage of terror unleashed on the ostriches and their owners, a feeling of having unprecedented POWER and AUTHORITY.

Belonging to any organization except the CAA and AA should be illegal and grounds for dismissal for both public servants and politicians.
Tucker Carlson reported that 50,000 Canadians were euthanized by the MAID program.
In the U.S. a conservative estimate of deaths by the Covid jabs is 400,000
MAID is the most, probably only, successful program of the Turdeau Regime. That and the coerced, experimental mRNA gene therapy which was criminally mislabelled as a "vaccine".
Sad, but true.
I should have put 'successful' in quotes.
It's not euthanasia, it's assisted suicide for those who no longer want to be on this stupid planet. And no, we should NOT spend endlessly more $$$ on curing fake diseases that are simply people ageing out and dying.
ALL humans should have the right to determine their end. I'm even at the point where I no longer care for Canada's silly model of healthcare. Let's tear it down. Get people taking care of their own health rather than relying on taxpayers for the fantasy of eternal life.
Reports state that between 2016 - 2024 more Canadians were poisoned to death by Fentanyl opioid that died in World War Two.
Fentanyl Opioid poisoning deaths: 52,928 (Jan 2016-2024)
Canadians killed in World War Two: 42,000

I wish I had been at the trial. I am late to this story. Your commentary here is spot on and very thoughtful.
The only reason our American brothers and sisters don't have to face this level of government/bureaucratic/technocratic tyranny is because they have the Second Amendment and are a well-armed society. Like it or not, firearms are the last resort to enforce your personal boundaries and say "no".

Well, COVID certainly disabused us of any myth that our Constitution and Charter of "Privileges" are worth the paper on which they are printed.
Oh our American friends DO face this same bureaucratic tyranny. It's called BLM and it does not stand for black lives matter. It's the Bureau of Land Management.
