Canada's Ostrich Scandal is a Test for our Love of Freedom
Ezra believes the birds are property to be treated humanely and with respect.

Tonight, on The Ezra Levant Show, Mark Carney’s health minister has nothing to say to Rebel News on the impending ostrich kill pen in Edgewood, B.C.
Initially, the details surrounding the ostriches seemed too peculiar and niche to garner significant interest. Most people, unlike with dogs or swans, don't have a natural affinity for ostriches.
However, this situation is not about affection for a particular species or even animal rights. Ezra believes animals are property to be treated humanely as a limit on human conduct, not for the animals' sake.
The ostrich story highlights government overreach, demanding the culling of hundreds of healthy, immune birds due to a past illness in a few. This exemplifies a foolish adherence to “Kafkaesque” rules and red tape, with inquiries met by threats.
The farm's offer to test healthy birds, declared an offence, highlights a lack of transparency. This "junk science," enforced by authorities, mirrors the COVID-19 era's dismissal of natural immunity.
The situation exposes the aggressive tactics of police enforcing questionable policies. While some officers resisted, many embraced roles like "mask patrol," even measuring distances in barbershops despite inconsistent scientific recommendations.
Resurfacing elements spark questions and speculation. A police officer at the ostrich farm admitted they were "errand boys" for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), raising concerns about the CFIA's power and lack of transparency.
GUEST: Chris Dacey discusses the ongoing CFIA & RCMP siege of Universal Ostrich Farms.

They show the requisite degree of contempt for those posing uncomfortable questions. Their future in our dictatorship is assured. -
Grace Jetmundson commented 2025-10-20 23:51:09 -0400Why are you not reporting on the missing ostriches? The CFIA seems to be culling them in spite of the “stay.”

Bruce Atchison commented 2025-10-20 21:18:50 -0400We all need to write to that health minister and politely-but-firmly tell her that the CFIA is hurting Canada’s image abroad as well as trampling the rights of property owners. If enough of us bombard her office with letters, it might get her to rebuke the CFIA.
