The charges against Karen and Katie have been dropped and they are no longer facing any criminal charges. This is a miracle! Listen in as they discuss what they are going to do next and what they plan to do in the future.
00:01:22.200We'll do it live. I'll write it and we'll do it live.
00:01:28.840Yes, we'll do it live. So without further ado, I want to bring Katie onto the show as she's been here so many times in the past since April.
00:01:37.420We had our first interview and yeah, we're going to get together in person very, very soon.
00:01:42.000Isn't that incredible since April? I mean, there's not a lot of people that maybe some people are just tuning in for the first time,
00:01:50.340but this has been almost a year long battle for saving animals that were not diseased and they were healthy.
00:01:57.620We had met in April, like you said, so I mean, but this has been almost a year long battle.
00:02:03.560We've went through all the seasons, all of the emotions, and now we're here and everything we fought for is gone on our farm.
00:02:13.560But this raises a brand new commitment from our family, and that is that we're never going to allow this to happen to any farmer in Canada ever again.
00:02:22.780And this will never repeat itself, this barbaric act of war that they brought onto our farm November 6th and 7th.
00:02:29.940And we'll be discussing how you intend to make sure that never happens in a few minutes, but want to get to the breaking news here.
00:02:37.980I'm so excited when we spoke just before the broadcast.
00:03:15.340We were simply parked in the middle of the field, carrying out a task that I have to remind you that we were emailed to do so on September 22nd by Canadian Food Inspection Agency themselves.
00:03:30.620Now, that email stated that they wanted us to continue to feed and water the animals while they prepared for their kill.
00:03:36.840And we said, of course, because maintaining that routine and that level of what they're used to, while their world was going to be turned upside down, was very important.
00:03:51.060So we sat out there and we said, one, they were trying to kick us out of the pens.
00:03:55.240And they said, we weren't allowed to feed.
00:03:57.600And we said, we're staying because we were asked to feed and we're going to stay with the animals.
00:04:02.660That turned into them saying, fine, you can go feed the animals.
00:04:06.740And when we went to go feed the animals, we were arrested.
00:04:09.980Our farm truck was swarmed by a few police vehicles.
00:04:15.300And we were taken up to a command center up in a sand pit here.
00:04:58.940Do you think this indicates in any way that maybe the establishment, and I use that term to mean the judiciary, the police, the governments,
00:05:09.660the people who made life miserable for you over the last year and very, very miserable over the last seven, eight weeks.
00:05:17.460Do you think this, maybe are they, are they saying, hold it, we're just going to look stupid, more, even more stupid if we go through with this kangaroo court, we go through with these entrapment charges.
00:05:29.100That's really what they were because they've been embarrassed, not only during the occupation of your farm, but in this slipshod, incompetent, shit show, excuse my language, of an aftermath, so-called cleanup.
00:05:44.000And I'm going to show some pictures later of how clean it looks.
00:05:47.420Do you think they said, hold it, we better just stop now before we look even more stupid?
00:05:56.060It wasn't one mistake and that's not two mistakes.
00:05:58.920The Canadian Food Inspection Agency, I don't think has ever really been put under the microscope like this.
00:06:03.720They've operated with no accountability, no oversight.
00:06:08.100They don't follow their own code of conduct, their own policies.
00:06:11.140They've been caught many, many times by hundreds of people, not us, but hundreds of people that have decided to stay here and wanted to protect life.
00:06:21.940Images of them not wearing PPE, wearing PPE, not sanitizing the trucks, putting kill pen hay down in mud for police officers to drive on.
00:06:33.400There's just, the list goes on and on.
00:06:35.320Then that ends in a barbaric, barbaric shootout of our animals on November 6th and 7th that the world woke up.
00:06:46.040And I just do not think that they anticipated that this momentum from these big, beautiful, prehistoric birds with a small family in the middle of nowhere, 135 kilometers away from a major city, I don't think they anticipated that this would get to this size.
00:07:08.580Now, our international support is phenomenal.
00:07:11.820I want to thank you, everybody from across the world who continues to pour in your love and support.
00:07:17.880The ostriches became beacons of hope and they're going to remain beacons of hope.
00:07:24.520In their brutal death of the panic and fear and the trauma and the torment that those animals felt that night, they are going to change the world.
00:07:38.260And how, what I mean by that is that there's so many layers to this.
00:07:42.660How has Canadian Food Inspection Agency been able to do, get away with this stuff for so many decades?
00:07:52.340How does this, is this, you know, the national security risk that Angela Rasmussen said that we are?
00:07:57.580Well, maybe we need to investigate national security because I'm promising you that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, they are the ones that are responsible for putting anybody at risk, not us.
00:08:11.020We have a lot of, we have a lot of good momentum, but the November 6th, November 7th, the world woke up.
00:08:18.900And people are, some people are just watching this for the first time.
00:08:23.120Somebody, you know, mentions it to a neighbor.
00:08:26.680Did you know what happened in Canada about the ostriches?
00:08:29.220And then they go online and there's some people watching that shooting for the very first time today.
00:08:34.320And they haven't had the 11 days that is today for our family to try to absorb what has happened, try to understand that trauma and how we're going to have that for the rest of our life.
00:08:48.500But actually turn it into power and encourage, empower ourselves that today, Monday, we're ready to put our armor back on and we're ready to fight for Canada, to continue to fight for Canada.
00:09:05.340Yes, I like that term, put your armor back on.
00:09:08.960When you told me that yesterday, I said, that's Katie.
00:09:35.420Making sure that every farm out there will have a chance to have some support and never be left alone in limbo or feeling bullied.
00:09:44.880By an agency that has had no accountability, no oversight for decades.
00:09:50.340Remembering that this agency is an agency that has, performs its own internal investigations, performs its own audits.
00:09:59.060They, they are only accountable to themselves.
00:10:02.520So making sure that every farmer out there has the ability to reach out to a support network within that association.
00:10:11.080Whether it be a team of some lawyers, a couple of vets, people that are all willing to come and bring the professional backgrounds into one, one area that we can support our farmers, support our agricultural sector.
00:10:27.380And give everybody hope for a strong, independent, healthy future in Canada for our animals, for our dedicated farmers.
00:10:39.060And, you know, even all of our farmers with orchards and our food.
00:10:45.040I mean, this isn't just about our living animals, but this is about our, our, our other sustainable food.
00:10:52.340It's about our, yeah, it's, so it's, I think this is going to be, it's a work in progress, but our heads are back together somewhat.
00:11:01.200We have very rough days, as I was saying, the four walls of the house still seem the safest.
00:11:06.800Walking down our laneway to see those empty pens is still, we're not ready to, to, to stay down there yet.
00:11:15.280We've been there, but that's very hard, but that is giving us the strength to push forward, to fight for the, the rest of Canada so that we have some protection.
00:11:24.560So it's going to be, we're working, we're, it's, we're working on it and just looking forward to establishing something that gives everybody a level of protection.
00:11:35.520I think you were saying when we talked earlier that you think you can probably immediately begin helping somebody.
00:11:41.800Is it Summerland you're, you're mentioning that?
00:11:43.540Yeah, so Criterade, in all of us, this is a shout out to anybody watching.
00:11:48.820If you're near Summerland and you have the ability to go and show some support, I don't know what kind, you know, of support, but even if it's just writing letters right now, you could probably start writing letters to Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
00:12:04.200Start writing your letters back to Heath McDonald and start those letters again, but they're going after their peacocks now.
00:12:11.420So they went in and I believe it was their ducks and chickens that they did end up killing and the farmers, or sorry, the, the Criterade sanctuary, they decided to euthanize their own ducks and chickens because of the massacre that we had here.
00:12:28.760They were so afraid of them coming in with force and doing something, even a touch as barbaric as they had done here, that they, they euthanize, they put down their own, a few animals.
00:12:41.240Now CFIA is coming back and saying that they, that they want their peacocks is to my understanding.
00:12:46.200Now they're saying, no, um, why can't these peacocks be tested?
00:12:51.980Let's test these peacocks and let's do not a non-PCR test.
00:12:56.880Let's let a vet go and do the proper sample or proper tests on the peacocks.
00:13:01.800And if they test negative again, just they can monitor, but we do not need to keep killing everything.
00:13:08.960I don't know how we didn't learn from this, that killing everything is not the solution and, um, they're not even good at that.
00:13:17.020So, but they are a professional killing machine and that's what they've demonstrated here is, well, not professional, but they're, they're a killing machine.
00:13:25.860And that's what they're, that's what their mandate is.
00:13:28.260They're not professional, but, uh, they kill.
00:15:13.240If we can't use the momentum and the beautiful bridge that the ostriches created for humanity to do something so good for Canada, then when are we waiting for?
00:15:26.540I mean, there's no better time than now than to unite and rise up.
00:15:51.540So, yeah, it's going to be a little bit of a long road, but there's a lot of healing to do.
00:16:01.360And we're going to do that together as well.
00:16:03.620We understand, we want everybody to know out there that we are grieving and we are trying to heal with you.
00:16:12.040So if anybody needs anything, we're going to try and have some resources online as well available for people around the world to reach out to.
00:16:21.540And we'll just be working on that in the next few days as well.
00:16:52.140But this is courtesy of Chris Dacey, who, of course, was there for the entire most of the most of the occupation.
00:16:59.220I think he missed maybe missed the first couple of days, but continue to file stories every day on social media.
00:17:04.480And I've got to say, Katie, if it wasn't for social media, there would have been a news blackout on the night of the massacre.
00:17:13.400Because mainstream media did not cover it until the following day.
00:17:17.000And they only covered it because of you and because of the social media people who were there covering this thing literally all night long.
00:18:00.700I'm seeing they left it right in one spot.
00:18:04.240What you do, you know, what one of those videos show is hundreds of mallard ducks landing in that hay from the kill pen that they blew open.
00:18:17.480And so those hundreds of mallard ducks now are flying in and out of our quarantine zone.
00:18:22.780What did Canadian Food Inspection Agency do about that?
00:18:26.120You know, they didn't leave this when they took this on.
00:18:29.540They didn't leave this and quarantine it to their expectations.
00:18:34.120They didn't when they were here, they didn't quarantine it to their expectations.
00:18:37.540They left our animals out there that had been shot to death overnight for birds and anything to scavenge on.
00:18:45.300And they they broke so many of their own quarantine protocols.
00:18:52.340So we just have to go through that list.
00:18:55.360I mean, how about that road access up to the highway?
00:18:59.880Now, we didn't have that road access up to the highway all open.
00:19:04.540And all they they made a really big clear cut road right into the quarantine and they didn't fence it off or leave anybody here to monitor that.
00:19:16.260Now, that's wide open for anybody to go into our quarantine area.
00:19:19.720So when we had that at least isolated and it was hidden with bushes and trees, they've created highway access roads right into the back of our quarantine zones.
00:19:31.760There's so many things that they've done wrong.
00:19:33.840Again, I just don't think that they ever thought that they would be put under the microscope that Canadians put them under.
00:19:41.580And I want to thank every one of you for being independent journalists in this, because it's because of every one of you that hunkered down and took pictures, that sent those images in, that have put those images all over the Internet, that the world is seeing that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency doesn't even know how to follow their own protocols.
00:20:03.680They broke the law consistently during the occupation with the cruelty that they meted out to these poor ostriches.
00:20:10.740They broke the law in the aftermath, in the so-called cleanup.
00:20:15.900They had RCMP officers working as farmhands, raking up with pitchforks, the hay.
00:20:22.240They had bare hands, no PPE, no goggles, no protective masks that they're supposed to be wearing,
00:20:29.700and according to the laws in British Columbia, the Save-On or SuperSave group was not authorized to carry the kind of waste, animal waste, to anywhere.
00:21:04.880We know that this had nothing to do with virus.
00:21:07.460The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is the virus.
00:21:09.860But let's look into SuperSave certification, because they shouldn't have been handling it.
00:21:17.780Then the Canadian Food Inspection Agency went on mainstream media to put out a statement that they were disinfecting the trucks coming in and out.
00:21:26.040I will promise you, by more than a dozen or two dozen eyewitnesses, those trucks that went in, drove into the kill pen with those bins, loaded up all of our babies with a bobcat bucket that just showed their total disrespect to life and how they handled them.
00:21:47.400Put them in those bins, loaded those bins, those trucks left.
00:21:50.920There was no spraying down those bins.
00:21:53.320There was no spraying down those wheels.
00:21:55.500They drove right out of that kill pen, loaded up all those animals, our animals, and they hit the highway.
00:22:02.320So it's all documented, Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
00:22:38.140And I'm demanding to know from the CFIA, and I sent these questions to you this morning via email, where did they go?
00:22:45.900Because as I discovered this week, I had a letter from somebody who wants to remain anonymous right now, but she's very close to the whole process.
00:22:53.820And she listed literally 10 laws, rules, and regulations the CFIA contravened in the aftermath of this operation, from overloading the trucks in an unsafe manner, and the burial, supposed burial, of these 314 ostriches.
00:23:11.500Every last ostrich body or remain had to be wrapped in a plastic bag individually, according to British Columbia law.
00:23:21.980Are they going to tell me they did that?
00:23:48.660They really think this is answering a question.
00:23:50.720Of course, they don't, but they think nobody's noticing.
00:23:53.280Yeah, and another question we have, if anybody ever wants, you know, comes forward or has any information on this, is you would notice that our animals were spray-painted, some were blue, and spray-painted, some were red.
00:24:07.200And we would like to know what those spray-painter markers meant, because that was not done prior.
00:24:13.440So I would like to also put out there that John Katsamadidis from New York has offered a $50,000 reward of information leading to prosecution.
00:24:26.700So if anybody has any information that leads to prosecution of Canadian Food Inspection Agency or some of their workers, there is a $50,000 reward from John Katsamadidis.
00:24:40.040And he's, I'll put something together.
00:24:42.940It's been all in text messages as far.
00:24:45.600But he started off with an $11,000 U.S. dollar reward.
00:24:50.160And now he's just, I mean, he's angry as well and wants an international investigation done on the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
00:24:56.940And the risk that they put the world in by handling, if it was a true viral and threat, they put everybody at risk by the way they handled this.
00:25:08.760And we know that this was a theatrical display of punishment for standing up for what you believe in and what you love and using your voice.
00:25:17.440Because you don't spend millions of dollars to protect animals to kill them.
00:28:19.340Well, Sunday they had an excavator, and they had a packer in their back lot.
00:28:26.560And so there's reason to believe and speculation by the odor and the overwhelming smell of rot coming from the back that they may have buried some of these carcasses on their own lot at the back.
00:29:02.460I just, you know what, I do know we just want justice, and we know that we don't want this to ever happen to anybody ever again.
00:29:08.560And have an agency that, if this was a true viral threat that was risking your family's life, our country's, you know, country, the health and welfare and protection of our, all of us.
00:29:24.280Because we need an agency that's going to be able to handle proper outbreak response.
00:29:29.120We need an agency that's going to be able to help protect us, not, you know, not destroy us.
00:29:34.780And so I believe that we need to see a completely brand new agency, new face, new platform, new vision, strengths, and proper outbreak response categorized into proper departments.
00:29:50.060There shouldn't have been a one-size-fits-all agency.
00:29:52.620It should have never happened that way.
00:30:04.180And it's time for those true leaders to stand up, rise up, and create an impact and change for Canadians in the right direction, which we haven't seen for some time now.
00:30:15.840Well, there's a lot of things happening right now.
00:30:18.480Well, there's potential for the Ag Committee at the House of Commons, House of Commons Standing Committee on Agriculture, to have to convene, because they're back in Parliament now, to convene a session or two or three, and to bring in the CFIA officers, to bring in the president of the CFIA, and to ask some tough questions.
00:30:37.920And if that happens, it's because of my good friend, Jerry Ritz, former Ag Minister, who was on the program some weeks ago.
00:30:45.380He's been pressuring the Conservative Party, the Conservative Party critic, to do something about this, because this has been an outrage.
00:30:53.880He was absolutely furious about what happened here.
00:31:00.680Well, Jerry introduced me to a good friend of his, who is a veterinarian at the University of Guelph, and he's a specialist in criticizing the stamping out policy.
00:31:14.980And I just want to share this clip here.
00:31:34.540And the aftermath, of course, it was all about the CFIA ensuring no tissue samples were taken, which has the CFIA pulled up stakes yesterday, actually, with the RCMP and the CFIA left the farm.
00:31:56.420But the CFIA is claiming yesterday in an article I read in the, I think it was Castanet, which is a Western Canadian publication, and they actually said that everybody went through sterilization when they left the farm every day.
00:32:17.200And they said, absolute nonsense, because all of the bystanders said there was nothing like that going on.
00:32:23.840But then they had the nerve to say that all of the ostriches have been disposed of, and they're in what they call deep burial.
00:32:34.360Because we have people right now at the Surrey Supersafe who say these ostriches are still there in the parking lot.
00:32:44.180So do you think they've actually disposed of these birds or not?
00:32:48.760Well, again, so I can't know for sure.
00:32:53.680And my thing is, one, in my role as a scientist and also as someone now leading proper outbreak results, things I say, I have to base them on evidence, right?
00:33:05.420So I have definitely heard this secondhand, right?
00:33:18.620I think to get to the bottom of this and find out where these birds are now and, you know, document that, if possible and if legal, get samples of those birds.
00:33:34.320What they should all should happen with those birds at this point now is they should be subjected to a forensic autopsy, right?
00:33:48.380And although they've been decomposing, there are still tests that could be done that would help to clarify whether they were shedding virus or not.
00:33:59.640It's not nearly as good as being, you know, fresh, but it's still possible.
00:34:04.360So if there's a way to do that, that would be good, actually.
00:34:11.100Now, Jeff, at another point in this interview said, this means the end of the CFIA.
00:34:19.280It's either going to slowly shrivel because people are going to not take it seriously anymore, or it's going to be replaced inevitably because it looked, as he said many times, incompetent, inhumane, and inhuman.
00:34:33.480But what we're seeing now is, I mean, look at all over the news articles.
00:34:56.600You're put under all these regulations, and you're being thrown into this fear because everything you love and your whole livelihood for some people.
00:35:04.860And these animals for some people that are their pets and have had for years, some people, they still love their animals, but they're safe for food consumption.
00:35:13.800They come in so fast and so hot, you don't even know what's happening.
00:35:19.320And if you don't have the time to say no and just take to the media, I guess, or really put up a fight or have the money, the only way we've been able to keep going is from amazing people who continue to pray and donate, that we're able to keep going forward legally, keeping the lights on in the house, and just keep pushing forward to protect Canada.
00:35:51.720And there's no, what we're seeing is that there's no trust.
00:35:56.160So Canadian Food Inspection Agency has put Canadians at risk more today than ever because there is no more trust between the people in Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
00:36:10.500So what happens if we have a true virulent threat that comes up that we do need to handle with proper outbreak response control?
00:36:18.760We are actually going to just start to see farmers shoot shovels shot up and not reach out to this agency because of the fear that if you call this agency off speculation, everything you love or everything you have will die.
00:36:35.480And we're seeing some people don't believe this, but when they're coming into some farms, they're killing all the cattle or say the sheep, and they're killing people's domestic house pets.
00:36:45.860So if you don't think that they're going to come for your domestic house pets, you're wrong.
00:36:49.660They're already coming for people's domestic house pets.
00:36:52.340And so that eroded trust is a huge systemic failure, and it puts all Canadians at risk.
00:37:04.000We've talked to Jeff Wilson many times.
00:37:07.020He's on the right track and is very knowledgeable, and we hope to be part of that process.
00:37:14.100It's establishing a proper outbreak response, establishing trust and compassion between Canadians and the level of government that we need to use to make sure that we're protected.
00:37:28.040And this agency, a new agency, will have more accountability.
00:37:33.220It'll have oversight, and they will have to answer to a third party.
00:37:36.840Well, Jeff has assured me he is available as a resource to you, and he wants to help in whatever way he can.
00:37:47.320He is absolutely enraged and frustrated over what happened here, and he does think the stamping out policy is just insane at this point.
00:37:57.480And it's good because it will literally mean the eradication, extermination of every last living creature if it continues.
00:38:04.720Like, stamping out sounds powerful, like I've said in the past.
00:38:07.940When you pair that with stamping out natural immunity, it doesn't sound so pretty, Canada.
00:38:13.900Stamping out natural immunity is very scary because when you start to believe that antibodies don't exist, and you start to believe that natural immunity doesn't exist,
00:38:24.480then you lose the belief in your own body and the body of an animal.
00:38:30.100The nature, nature that has worked its way, it's evolved, it's been okay for decades, if not hundreds and hundreds of years.
00:38:40.180And when we kill everything on a farm, you have to understand that lots of ranches have generational lineage.
00:38:47.960So they have animals that they have developed for health, strength, and for good quality of life.
00:38:56.820And now when you go in and you kill everything based off of suspicion, we are getting rid of all of our strong lineage, all of the strong animals, the older animals that have the firewall and defense system that they built with antibodies.
00:39:12.580We should be protecting all the survivors, should be going somewhere, the survivors are the ones that we breed because their survivors have antibodies that will be given to their young, and then the young are already immune to H5N1.
00:39:28.240Now, if we would have hatched all of our, say, hatched eggs here, our chicks would have had antibodies for H5N1 because they were in the memory cells of the egg yolk.
00:39:41.400So our chicks would have had armor to the virus.
00:39:47.280But now you killed everything we have, and you're saying, Canadian Food Inspection Agency, it's okay, just go repopulate, go get some more, just go get some more.
00:39:56.720So when we get some more, and they have no immune system, and they don't have the firewall that our decades-old animals were passing down through their eggs, we go through this whole process over again.
00:40:11.520And when this happens, we're putting genetic diversity and biodiversity at risk, which is actually just going to lead to a catastrophic chain of events and a failure in humanity.
00:40:22.900And we will become fully reliant on vaccinations for survival, and you might as well just cheers your glasses now and say, yep, okay, I, you know, ready to take all my boosters, 13 or 14 a year, because we have no animals, we have no immune system, we have no natural immunity, no antibodies left.
00:40:46.540So stamping out is stamping out humanity, really.
00:40:51.460And you said that throughout this crisis.
00:40:54.220I don't know how many times you said it on the show, and it's just incredibly true.
00:40:59.160I wrote an article recently for the Post Millennial that described the night before, based on the descriptions I saw in the social media, and it talked about you, and I think the most poignant scene of that night was you on your knees in front of that fence, asking these monsters to stop.
00:41:20.620I, I, I, I couldn't, I can't watch it anymore either, and it just breaks my, breaks my heart, broke my heart when I first saw it.
00:41:28.960But millions of people read that article, and the response from the, the editor tells me has been just enormous.
00:41:37.520And there, there, a lot of people are just discovering the story.
00:41:41.320And I want to say, during the entire occupation, there was not a day, and I think I missed maybe one day where I, I didn't, I didn't do a broadcast, but every day I did a broadcast.
00:41:55.180I did a seg, at least a segment, or the entire focus on the ostrich farms.
00:42:01.440I didn't want this to go by with nobody thinking it was important anymore.
00:42:06.660And I, and I applauded people like David Freiheit, or otherwise known as Viva Fry, for Redacted, for Rebel News, incredible coverage from Drea Humphrey, and sometimes Sheila Gunn-Reed.
00:42:22.460These are friends and colleagues, and I, I don't mind, you know, highlighting their work.
00:42:45.040Not enough clips on CBC to run on his show.
00:42:47.840So I condemn people who ignored this story.
00:42:50.520I applaud those who did everything they possibly could to stop this massacre, to stop this slaughter.
00:42:56.560But my question for you, Katie, is you went through, it's been a year now, since the outbreak, the last November, December, you went through all of this legal wrangling, which is exhausting for anybody who knows what a day in court feels like.
00:43:15.800You went through a seven, six and a half, seven-week occupation, where your animals were mistreated.
00:43:33.700And we watched, heartbroken, thinking, God, if we could just do something to stop this.
00:43:40.200You had to endure attacks on social media from idiots and morons and layabouts who have nothing better to do than attack your character and attack the excellent job you did in defending this farm and describing the situation.
00:43:57.940And for these people, I have nothing but rage and absolute abomination.
00:44:05.360But I don't know, you went through this, you said you've got the armor back on.
00:44:16.500And your whole, I think you need to do this new venture for your own health and wellness because you need something to move on to after this horrible experience.
00:44:27.640But what kept you going during the most difficult times?
00:44:31.420Um, God, our, our faith, our faith in God that, um, God has a plan and we didn't know what that plan looked like.
00:44:48.660I've grown up to be one of the biggest animal advocates.
00:44:52.840And I believe very deeply in protecting the voiceless.
00:44:58.920And so that's always been in my nature.
00:45:01.840And those animals out there gave me so much momentum every day.
00:45:10.100And I knew the beacons of hope that they were for people around the world.
00:45:13.860And I know the opportunity that we have here to do something really good for Canada.
00:45:18.460So for those reasons, it was, um, it wasn't ever, it wasn't easy finding me.
00:45:25.180So it's been really hard, but every day just feels good because we're standing on the right side of history, doing something good for our children and our grandchildren and our country that deserves a win.
00:45:37.460And we deserve a win and, um, our, our animals deserved a win.
00:45:44.800We didn't get that, but we do know that with their legacy, uh, we're not going to stop.
00:45:51.440And we got our armor back on for our ostriches and we're going to keep pushing forward until justice is served.
00:45:59.040And that justice will help protect other Canadians, farmers, our families, our future.
00:46:06.820That just gives me so much excitement inside, honestly, um, to be part of something that could have a long lasting effect for all Canadians and our families.
00:46:19.720I, I feel honored to be in this position that I never thought that we would be in.
00:46:46.560I've actually learned what our country, how it operates, um, who affects our decisions, the unelected, you know, governing officials, um, the, the UN and the WHO and the World Animal Health Organization.
00:47:03.020It's been a huge eye opener, but I just know that I want to keep fighting to stand on the right side of history.
00:47:09.560And that means making Canada somewhere that we can be proud to live in again.
00:47:14.380Well, I think, I think God brought us together so we could fight this battle as well and move on to a voice for farmers.
00:47:23.160And I'm going to do everything possible to help you with that, including fundraising.
00:48:42.560Uh, so we were non-compliant for, uh, not killing our own animals and our own healthy animals.
00:48:50.340And, uh, that means then that we could be on the hook for all of the police costs, the fencing, the super save, the bails that I, that I've heard from a trucker that they, they bought in my name.
00:49:05.100Um, and so, yeah, so we're getting a statement on that, uh, because nobody would touch it.
00:49:13.140And a truck driver said that he heard that Katie Pasitney was ordering bedding for the ostriches.
00:50:12.900They don't, no, no, the RCMP, the CFIA, the people who allowed this to happen and the people who facilitated it and who executed it, they will not get away with this and we're going to keep fighting.
00:50:27.220So that's why folks, we do need your support, your financial support, the description, the information you need will be in the description.
00:50:35.560You'll continue, you'll continue to see fundraising drives on X and other social media platforms increasing in the next few days and weeks as we prepare for what could be a huge financial burden.
00:52:06.120And it's funny the last time you were on the show you had literally an hour before heard the news that the Supreme Court had dismissed your appeal.
00:52:13.940And you knew what was coming within hours and it came.
00:52:27.180The people on this broadcast who said, I don't understand why this story is relevant to me, disappeared.
00:52:36.800Not that they weren't watching, but they got it by the end.
00:52:41.760They understood what this farm had to do with them, with their property rights, with their individual freedom, with an aggressive, abusive, ravenous, Mark Carney government.
00:53:38.700Yeah, November 6th and 7th, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and government officials exposed themselves.
00:53:46.480You exposed yourselves and you showed that you're the belly of the beast and you kept going.
00:53:53.240You know, there was so many moments it could have stopped.
00:53:56.060And it was a theatrical display of punishment is what happened in Edgewood, British Columbia.
00:54:01.140This was a theatrical display of punishment for standing up for what you believe in and using your voice.
00:54:07.700And this will never happen anywhere again.
00:54:11.380I will fight my whole life to make sure that this never happens again to anybody else.
00:54:19.020And no other animal goes through the torture and the torment that our animals went through when we spent decades teaching our animals to trust humans.
00:54:29.760Katie, thank you so much for your time today.
