Global News employee charged by RCMP for participating in Jumbo Valley Hutterite turkey farm invasion

Posted by Sheila Gunn Reid on October 24, 2019

Arrests have finally been made by local RCMP in the case of the farm invasion attack on a Hutterite colony in Southern Alberta, and one of the activists is an employee of Global News.

Four people have now been charged in relation to the early September invasion of a Jumbo Valley free-range turkey farm.

Among the demands of the Cranbrooks Friends of Animals Society were to allow media coverage and access to the inside of the turkey barns, exposing the animals to contamination.

Global News was soon on the scene, and now there's a connection that should've been brought to light two months ago: One of the activists is a current Global Edmonton employee.

No wonder Canadians are losing trust in the police. This looks like another in a very long list of deliberate attacks against non-mainstream Media. The Rebel is entitled to know the name of the person laying the charges. If the police are doing this on their own, a lawsuit is justified for ignoring Trudeau’s crimes and of their own Members assisting illegals to commit a crime by crossing the border illegally.

Were these charges ordered by the Liberals? Probably. One set of laws for Canadians and none for the Liberals?

PS: Why hasn’t Singh been charged with hate speech for his hatred of Conservatives?

I’m confused about something. A group of trespassers who invaded a turkey farm get arrested but our Prime Minister, who was involved in criminal cover-ups continues to govern the nation? Am I missing something here? If a crime is committed, isn’t the guilty supposed to be held accountable or does that rule no longer apply for certain people?

Sheila, hope you follow up on the punishment they get from the court. It is an invasion and also someone’s home. A Home Invasion should get them a few years depending on their record if any.

| live on rural property, and no one comes on with out permission. What the hell? And they consider themselves so smart but threatened to contaminate the entire bunch. They are stupid.

They want to rewrite journalism. WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE and WHY is passé now. You’d think they would all strive to be the best reporters they can be with what the best who are gone now have given them in print and video. They have an easy life; swimming in gravy. I like Rebel News because I know I’m getting THE news! Not partial truths, out and out lies or no news at all. Rebel News journalists are the REAL journalists compared to most of the MSM. Not even close.

In defence of Global News, when they saw a barn full of turkeys they thought they were interacting with colleagues.

More serious, why only four arrests? There were a hell of a lot more sitting around the turkeys (the intelligent turkeys, not Global News turkeys), jeopardizing the quarantine boundary. All should be facing criminal charges for that, not to mention theft by extortion of livestock. I guess the latter would be tough because the useless RCMP aided and abetted that theft. In the former, I assume the current quality of RCMP do not know how to count past four.

What the hell happened to the link to past videos? I’m going to keep posting this until the link is back up.

But they didn’t get charged for any expenses the farmers had to undertake due to the exposure, etc. or if there were any legal expenses.
These farmers should take Global to court for invasion of privacy and conspiracy to cause damage to their property and poultry.
Canadians really are in the dark.
