00:00:00.000
is the question is not whether how i react but um what do we do and my answer to that is head down
00:00:22.040
welcome back to another episode of stand on guard i'm your host david creighton happy saturday hope
00:00:26.940
you're having a good weekend so far so it just began and did you ever think melanie jolie and
00:00:32.620
ostriches would have anything in common i didn't but here we're we found some commonality there
00:00:40.820
so we'll be right back with more of the news you need to know here on stand on guard and i'm your
00:00:49.620
the prime minister lied and his minions continue to your home is your castle we're calling on the
00:01:00.720
government to introduce and immediately pass the stand on guard law
00:01:11.120
we'll do it live okay well no we'll do it live i can i'll write it and we'll do it live
00:01:23.880
yeah that was bill o'reilly of course from his uh earlier days you know i've never watched bill's
00:01:34.520
broadcast and i probably should put it on because i used to watch the factor every day before
00:01:40.720
you know everything went to hell over there at fox news was with bill and anyway got a lot of stuff
00:01:47.280
to discuss with you this morning i want to i want to discuss the before we get back to the ostriches
00:01:52.460
and there won't be a single show until this crisis is resolved and i believe it's going to be resolved
00:01:59.180
for justice i still believe that i tell katie that every day and i believe it's going to be resolved
00:02:05.900
for the family for the farm for katie for the ostriches not for the government and i'm going
00:02:12.740
to fight for that and like i say i'm still contemplating whether or not i can do that from
00:02:16.000
here or or i need to go but we will let you know and thank you uh leanne this morning for
00:02:22.060
asking how much i think i'm going to need and i'll i'll be looking into it today what i'm trying to do
00:02:28.800
is get an interview with the cfia for next week and details to follow but let's have a look
00:02:38.640
at what's going on with doug ford's little commercial ad here which has caused all kinds of grief and
00:02:47.420
anger from u.s president donald trump it's usually on the eve of the trade negotiations it's usually mark
00:02:57.120
carney who does something or says something stupid remember remember the time he turned up at a gay
00:03:03.760
pride parade on the sunday before the talks donald trump was not very impressed ready for all nations
00:03:10.960
is rejecting protectionist legislation and promoting fair and free competition america's jobs and growth
00:03:27.120
that seems to be a fairly innocuous ad the ronald reagan foundation has come out and said it's an
00:03:36.720
inaccurate depiction of reagan's views it's not actually anyone who remembers ronald reagan he was
00:03:44.320
and is my favorite u.s president as much as i like donald trump there are times i i really
00:03:50.400
really have trouble with donald trump but you know i'm 90 90 of the time i love what he's doing
00:03:57.280
they said other 10 sometimes gets in the way but reagan i i love i was a true believer with reagan
00:04:03.120
and reagan was a free trader there's no question about that and free trade was a conservative
00:04:10.960
tenant in the 80s if you were a conservative small c conservative or even a large c conservative canada
00:04:18.240
or a republican in the united states you believed in free trade that was as much as you believed in
00:04:25.120
a strong national defense on on free enterprise on a free market you believe in free trade so
00:04:34.160
i'm not sure why there's there's increasing confusion over that but but there certainly seems to me
00:04:39.280
and so here's doug ford trying to explain his way out of this one uh i heard that the president heard
00:04:44.800
our ad uh i'm sure he wasn't too happy but it's real because it was coming from the best president
00:04:50.800
the country's ever seen ronald reagan so it it is it's it's very effective it's probably one of the
00:04:57.440
best ads i've ever seen and it's coming from ronald reagan's voice and it's going to be focused uh on
00:05:03.440
right across the the country but also in republican held areas because what i feel the reagan republicans
00:05:11.680
are going to be fighting with a maga group and let's hope uh reagan republicans
00:05:18.480
and so this is interesting i'll get right back to it but here's mark carney's response to the whole
00:05:25.440
thing 30 seconds of a scrum and i'll do my best to translate
00:05:32.240
all right mark carney just said he's going to asia to discuss trade and economic issues with
00:05:46.640
our asian partners that's what he said but he's got no time put the tall or anything else so there he
00:05:57.840
is traveling around asia now apparently oblivious to what's going on here in canada refusing to do
00:06:05.840
anything about the slaughter potential slaughter of hundreds of ostriches and we'll get to that later
00:06:12.560
the number i find a little bit difficult to determine right now what the correct number should be
00:06:21.120
but we're fearful we're concerned that the number has dropped substantially now katie
00:06:28.480
the sydney has told me repeatedly that she is concerned the numbers are dropping and things are going on in
00:06:34.400
the night and we'll get into some specifics of that but you remember how it used to be with
00:06:45.680
our relationship with the united states these are the healthy on days
00:06:51.040
with brian mulrooney and ronald reagan at the shamrock summit i think it was in quebec city yeah
00:07:59.360
brampton's bleeding jobs to the u.s all of these electric vehicle plants are going belly up
00:08:09.500
there is no market for electric vehicles we have i shouldn't say we and i won't say invested
00:08:16.960
the federal government has squandered your tax dollars on electric vehicle plants
00:08:23.120
so the plants are closing even though more than 10 billion subsidy package from federal and
00:08:33.480
provincial governments to secure canada's foothill in the electric vehicle supply chain
00:08:37.720
despite these commitments stelantis confirmed this month it will restart its dormant
00:08:43.820
belvedere plant in the u.s and abandon compass production in canada citing donald trump's new
00:08:50.060
25 percent tariff on canadian autos as a deciding factor and so is the fact that market has dried
00:08:54.860
up gm to end electric van production at cammy plant in ingersoll ontario
00:09:00.020
it's not all because of tariffs it's because there's no market for electric cars
00:09:04.380
american truck maker to end canadian production of trucks sold in u.s expects 300 layoffs
00:09:11.640
this is catastrophic especially for people living in ontario the car industry has been a mainstay of
00:09:24.640
ryan williamson over 5 500 private sector jobs cut in canada in just four weeks
00:09:34.600
gm imperial oil scotia bank molson cn rail into vista that's the reality of what we're facing here
00:09:47.360
and it's not good news i want to show this before we get on to the birds which of course is where we end up
00:09:57.540
every day on this show because i keep saying this is this story has become symbolic of
00:10:06.920
canada losing its way economically politically socially and morally
00:10:14.140
canada has lost its way in so many ways this is a great little clip from ronald reagan since we're
00:10:21.840
talking reagan i thought we we'd add this on here profoundly once said many years ago that if
00:10:27.240
fascism ever comes to america it'll come in the name of liberalism what is fascism fascism is
00:10:33.000
private ownership private enterprise but total government control and regulation
00:10:37.600
well isn't this the liberal philosophy the conservative so-called is the one that says
00:10:42.580
less government get off my back get out of my pocket and let me have more control of my own destiny
00:10:50.020
not what we're getting with mark carney is it that fact the fascist element the classically defined
00:11:00.680
fascism as a corporatist state where the government allows private enterprise to function but it puts
00:11:07.780
massive regulation and control on that private enterprise so it's not really free enterprise it's
00:11:14.020
crony capitalism this is what mark carney stands for he's made i i don't know how many
00:11:19.700
tens hundreds of millions of dollars as in a private fortune based on his
00:11:25.160
his government connections he's made his money in the private sector but as a result of government
00:11:34.600
connection and that is what this man is all about now of course the cfia issued and we we showed this
00:11:41.920
last night the show was over by the time katie had put up her rebuttal we're going to show both of
00:11:48.940
those but before we do i want to show you this where's the science in this ostrich i keep saying
00:11:57.180
this every day because on january 2nd the farmers received an email from a cfi agent stating their
00:12:06.600
animals qualified for a depopulation exemption this is i've told katie talk about this every day
00:12:12.200
because the cfia has never explained why they rescinded this depopulation what a euphemism hey
00:12:21.140
depopulation exemption because the ostriches were were considered the rare and valuable
00:12:27.960
genetics the email included a distinct unit request package a depopulation exemption form which they
00:12:35.400
were asked to complete and prevent the ostriches from being called on january 10th eight days later
00:12:39.160
the farmers received official correspondence from the cfia delay denying denying sorry denying their
00:12:44.700
requests for a depopulation exemption stating they did not meet the criteria for unique and rare genetics
00:12:51.300
they were also reminded that the call order remained in effect requiring them to destroy and dispose of all
00:12:57.680
ostriches by february 1st in the email the cfi stated this decision is filed and not subject to appeal
00:13:04.740
so what is the world animal world organization for animal health whoa great acronym for them what is
00:13:15.600
their theory of change transform reflects a broader vision to ensure viable safe poultry production that
00:13:23.480
meets future market and animal welfare demands and it's resilient to disease threats in a changing
00:13:29.800
climate this includes changing practices and policies by building partnerships and networks sharing
00:13:36.880
knowledge to support poultry farmers and traders in all contexts strengthening public and private
00:13:44.380
veterinary services and supporting targeted research which is what universal ostrich farms was doing
00:13:49.640
targeted research to provide cost effective interventions laboratory capacities needed to ensure accurate diagnosis
00:13:59.440
more whereas the science the free status may be regained after a minimum period 28 days
00:14:07.140
these ostriches are are are are approaching one the one year mark
00:14:14.160
so they they've more than surpassed the 28 day mark
00:14:19.760
so this is according to the world organization for animal health which the cfia reputedly and reportedly
00:14:31.000
according to them they follow the regulations and dictates of this globalist entity which of course
00:14:38.980
is a lot less onerous than you know so we've we've seen these and
00:14:47.360
yeah so where's the science my friends yes where is the science there is no science now
00:14:57.960
i want to get to my x page here i'm going to share this with you for a while
00:15:03.180
there's some really good stuff on here but we'll have to get
00:15:10.160
we had such technical problems yesterday i apologize for that
00:15:16.600
you know one of the shows youtube crashed in the middle of it
00:15:26.620
so i didn't know well i guess we'll show this one first okay
00:15:32.980
we showed you this last night this is from the canadian food inspection agencies
00:15:37.080
ongoing presence at the edgewood bc hostage firm to me it's highly debatable why they're still there
00:15:43.240
that why this ought the why this warrant to search automatically was extended
00:15:48.520
when you read it they should have had to apply for an extension
00:15:57.380
when this warrant expired the rcmp and the cfi told people well it's automatically extended we don't have to do anything
00:16:08.140
i if you read the document and we've shared that with you extensively i don't buy that
00:16:14.220
but here's some of the incredible statements made
00:16:19.040
the cfi estimates that there are between 300 and 330 birds on the farm okay is there anybody
00:16:28.480
in the cfia death squad among these goons who are on the farm can anybody add
00:16:35.440
is it are they capable of doing like fingers and thumbs arithmetic can they add up how many
00:16:42.180
ostriches are there uh if there's if there's 300 or 330 can you can you tell me exactly not somewhere
00:16:49.260
between a range of 300 and 330 i think even the cfia people can probably add up the number of birds
00:16:58.340
on that farm yeah it might be hard might take maybe a half an hour but i think they can do it
00:17:04.640
but they're refusing to do that here's what you know they're also saying here
00:17:12.180
incredible one bird died of a pre-existing condition that's nonsense
00:17:18.860
the the electrolytes were not provided to the farm to the to the birds they were they were dumped
00:17:26.600
we saw the video of that they were dumped far away from the bird having access to them and they
00:17:33.300
watched the bird die zero birds have been euthanized by the cfia okay
00:17:43.240
and i think they're defining this in a very particular sense
00:17:48.720
like they're lit they would literally be injecting the birds with a lethal
00:17:53.040
dose of something or strangling the bird or god knows what else they would think of
00:18:00.500
but what if birds are dying through deliberate neglect through systemic systemic and systematic
00:18:10.160
cruelty maltreatment that's not euthanasia by definition but the birds are still dying i believe
00:18:18.640
the birds are dying and i think that's why they refuse to tell you how many birds are there
00:18:23.560
okay zero dead birds have been removed from the farm by the cfia okay but you admit one bird died
00:18:31.900
since you've been there so what happened to the carcass
00:18:35.420
listen to me folks what happened to the carcass if it was not removed
00:18:41.680
are they getting rid of the birds on the site and just disposing of the refuse in these blue bins
00:18:49.640
in these dumpsters we've gone through this this to me is integral
00:18:53.900
and i'm gonna i i got an email last night about this but i'm gonna go to to katie's response to this now
00:19:08.020
you know like i said i katie put this out last night
00:19:11.680
and i encouraged her to get it out there far and wide it's on her facebook i'm putting it out
00:19:16.240
everywhere because i think it's an excellent rebuttal
00:19:19.540
and i think people need to read this so i'm going to go back to my sharing the screen here
00:19:28.180
before i do that i want to read this letter i got from one of one of my viewers
00:19:34.140
he says i have been following the he said dear hello david i have been following the ostrich seg
00:19:41.020
almost since the beginning i have never seen such insanity super save and that's that of course is
00:19:45.980
the company where the trash is being taken from the gravel pit and then taken to this private company
00:19:55.480
and included with their trash now we believe it's going to a to the local landfill but that's what i'm
00:20:02.720
asking people to figure out for me he said super save is a weak chain a weak link in the chain let's
00:20:10.080
focus on that their trucks are transporting material that is allegedly diseased it has already been
00:20:15.320
refused by the you know excuse my pronunciation of this is
00:20:20.200
okatisha shinia landfill in west kootenay because the cfa was unable to certify that the
00:20:27.020
ostriches were disease free so this landfill site wouldn't take it
00:20:32.720
so for super save to demonstrate that they are not carrying and disposing of a dangerous and diseased
00:20:39.420
cargo as defined by the cfa there must be some legal angle to force super save to open the bins or
00:20:47.040
charge them with disposal of dangerous material or the court of public opinion must weigh in
00:20:52.700
thanks for your incredible work sincerely john wow
00:20:57.820
that's what we need to do that is precisely what we need to do now i'm going to go to katie's
00:21:05.080
response here and we'll show you some of that that video
00:21:08.240
all right here's katie's response let's talk about the new cfi update october 22 we appreciate the
00:21:23.480
canadian food inspection agency has chosen to communicate publicly about the ongoing situation
00:21:28.620
at universal ostrich farms however several points in the statement misrepresented the truth and must be
00:21:34.780
respectfully corrected for the public record you state that 330 ostriches are out there that's your
00:21:41.480
number let's use that why can't we get to that number with clear images from the mountains around
00:21:46.800
so the farm is going to go with 330 i'm not going to get into the whether it's 330 or 399
00:21:53.260
that's what the cfa is claiming but they can't decide whether it's 300 or 330
00:21:58.300
the supreme court candidate stay of execution was meant to protect life and maintain the status
00:22:04.120
quo while the court considers our appeal not to enable indefinite seizure and isolation of our
00:22:09.360
animals the cfi continues to restrict our access and oversight despite these being our animals and
00:22:15.280
our property custody requires care transparency and accountability not exclusion and secrecy counting
00:22:22.260
and transparency we have repeatedly requested an updated count of our birds and each request has
00:22:27.760
been denied we are the lawful owners yet we have been told we cannot physically verify or count our own
00:22:35.940
animals nor have an independent count by a vet this is unreasonable and deeply concerning we simply wish
00:22:44.140
to confirm their welfare furthermore we have informed cfi that our detailed manifest and lineage records
00:22:50.360
will be provided only to our lawyer who must who we trust to hold them securely this decision was made
00:22:56.400
after numerous breaches of trust by the agency we must ask why does cfia insist on obtaining the full
00:23:02.920
genetic manifest of our flock what use is this information to them while refusing transferring to us
00:23:08.640
samples and intellectual property concerns the cfia's ongoing presence coupled with their refusal
00:23:14.720
to allow independent oversight raises legitimate concerns about unauthorized sample collection we have no
00:23:21.080
verification of what materials have been taken since the occupation began given the value of ostrich
00:23:27.200
antibodies proven in our past research to neutralize multiple viral strains we have reason to fear
00:23:33.520
these antibodies could be exploited for research or profit without our consent or acknowledgement
00:23:37.820
if c if cfi has taken blood or tissue samples we call for immediately disclosure
00:23:43.680
of what has been collected where was sent and for what purpose number four welfare and care oversight cfi claims to
00:23:49.920
provide feed water and bedding yet the family and ongoing local veterinarians have been barred from
00:23:55.440
conducting welfare checks besides that one time if cfi truly has nothing to hide why are they preventing
00:24:02.000
independent animal welfare verification the public deserves to know that these animals are being cared for
00:24:09.200
humanely we see they are not record keeping and accountability the cfi states we have not provided flock records this is false
00:24:18.040
our affidavits our affidavits court filings and veterinary documents have been provided under oath
00:24:23.560
the only reason additional data is withheld is the total loss of trust in an agency that has repeatedly
00:24:28.520
acted outside the spirit of the law and without transparency and i would also add to this is my words
00:24:34.120
not katie's they've acted in direct contravention of the law itself why this matters if this policy continues
00:24:41.320
unchecked it sets a dangerous dangerous precedent farmers can lose their life's work without due process or
00:24:47.000
testing agencies can claim control of healthy animals while denying owners even basic oversight decades of
00:24:54.840
biodiversity genetic resilience and natural immunity painstakingly cultivated can be wiped out overnight
00:25:03.080
when cfi destroys health he flocks under the guise of biosecurity canada loses more than animals we
00:25:09.640
lose knowledge immunity and our agricultural future and her final point is our call to canadians we ask
00:25:18.840
canadians to stand with us peacefully and respectfully email your mpmla and the minister of agriculture
00:25:24.440
demanding an inquiry into cfi's conduct yeah you got it katie so i posted that this morning after katie put it
00:25:33.720
out i want to have a look at this post from bruce mcgonigal and we're going to go into this more tomorrow
00:25:42.920
so according to facebook only 220 of the nearly 400 ostriches at the universal ostrich firm
00:25:49.880
are confirmed as still being alive now bruce is going with the initial figure of 399
00:25:55.000
the farm is now going to agree to 330 i guess for argument's sake but to see if i can't even say
00:26:05.000
that's an accurate number and what based on observations from people who are at the farm
00:26:11.560
getting pictures observing there could be only 220 of these birds live it looks like the canadian food
00:26:19.640
inspection agency has been slaughtering off the flightless birds that can live 70 plus years
00:26:24.840
without waiting for the supreme court to rule on the matter peer polity of will you now act text below
00:26:31.320
is from the facebook post link to the post is below the text and here's the this is from uh 220 that's how
00:26:43.160
many ostriches remain in the newest video 220 out of the original 400 under the cfia's custody
00:26:50.440
where have the rest gone why is this being ignored why is there no accountability from
00:26:55.720
the canadian food inspection agency this footage was taken by retired sergeant mike root who climbed into
00:27:02.360
the mountains with luca robinson to document the truth because canadian citizens are now forced to
00:27:09.480
become the protectors and law keepers that our rcmp politicians refuse to be follow mike at the rude
00:27:16.360
awakening tour so that's let's have a look at the video
00:28:06.200
all right so i've you know that's starting again i think this is basically the same
00:28:20.680
all right so this is this is footage taken from a mountain with a zoom lens
00:28:35.660
there's been a number of folks up there getting this footage where are they hiding the remaining
00:28:42.660
of the ostriches okay so if these folks can count the ostriches under these circumstances
00:28:49.440
under these conditions where they're using a zoom lens and see if i is in this pen they could be doing
00:28:57.160
a head count but this is highly highly suspicious because there's no other place to be
00:29:08.260
all i can say is yes and share katie's response to the cfia like i said i'm trying to get the flack
00:29:19.360
on next week nobody's going to answer my phone call this weekend but i'm trying to get the flack on
00:29:25.380
this week to talk about this and agent blusky by the way he's done some damn good work
00:29:31.800
and he says here the cfia warrant is not valid no court file number not following any processes
00:29:46.060
karen esperson the mother katie's mother co-owner of the farm noted that there was no file number
00:29:54.420
on the document so this is highly suspicious and i think it's
00:30:14.380
which is quite something so tmz reported this back when this occupation began in september what
00:30:29.440
so we know that there's something highly suspicious about this occupation yeah
00:30:35.380
so i want to get out of here for a few minutes and show you some other video this was given to me
00:30:46.540
by laurie shep this morning sure i got the right one here so he's got something else because he just
00:30:53.900
poked into the ground just kind of right by where that orange just pass that orange thing
00:30:58.200
yeah i would be able to like to have an accurate count
00:31:08.540
but it's a little hard to take a count from here and then
00:31:14.900
take the count from there and then what you can see there and then you have to drive all the way
00:31:19.720
around to the other side and then you don't know if you've already seen birds that you already counted
00:31:38.660
thanks a lot everybody for coming in on this live
00:31:51.480
yeah well that's what they were doing with that one of all to go
00:31:54.000
they both had one on each side of the back end of the ostrich and they were pushing it
00:32:04.000
see the truck's empty now and they're and they're coming out so
00:32:09.340
they're putting all that straw on that side someplace
00:32:52.000
so what were they putting on the ostrich's neck all they're supposed to be doing is ensure these animals are fed
00:33:23.000
they are putting something on the bird's head and neck
00:33:28.000
once again cfi refuses to be held accountable for any of this activity
00:33:42.000
this story has become emblematic of how canada is febrile
00:34:18.000
it's nice to see that because i've invested a lot of my
00:34:27.000
this is not the story that youtube wants to promote on
00:35:02.000
which i did this morning even though i'm not talking to anyone from
00:42:12.300
When I first saw this video, because I said, why has nobody been sharing this on social media?
00:42:18.260
Why are some people just saying it's just gossip that the CFIA might be disposing of the birds?
00:42:25.800
Because clearly, when you look at the evidence that we have, and it's not very good because the CFIA has done everything possible to make this a difficult job to complete.
00:42:36.420
But the evidence out there suggests that the number of birds is in steep decline.
00:42:43.020
And there's so many good people out there who are supporting on the farm.
00:42:50.940
Maybe they're not there 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
00:42:53.460
But they spend as much time as they can on the farm supporting Katie and her mom and Dave Bolinski, the other owner.
00:43:00.200
And they're doing a superb job of keeping us all informed because there's a virtual media blackout right now there.
00:43:08.660
And, you know, and hats off to Chris Dacey for continuing to be there.
00:43:19.760
There's lots of independents out there doing good work.
00:43:25.820
And Rebel, you know, can't always have somebody on the scene.
00:43:31.940
And it's everything about the operation is costly because this is an isolated farm.
00:43:44.240
And this is the way the CFI loves it because they don't have to be held accountable and they don't have to answer questions.
00:43:55.120
I am going to say I want to I want to talk to the CFIA spokes.
00:44:00.240
Person, as they say, Spox, as we say in the business, the flack for the CFI.
00:44:05.920
I want to put the flack on my show and I want to ask some very pointed questions.
00:44:10.900
About their operation and about their procedures and about their protocol and about what they've been up to since they occupied this farm and why they think they don't have to answer any questions.
00:44:22.420
And why the hell they think they're above what they seem to be, appear to be above the law.
00:44:29.200
And any of you who've been following the story knows that's exactly how it looks.
00:44:35.280
I haven't shared the story for a couple of days.
00:45:48.520
Talked to Katie for 20 minutes or so, and she's just so tired, so exhausted.
00:45:53.920
She's been working so hard for not only her farm and her family, but for your freedom.
00:46:00.820
And I take my hat off to Katie, and we know the tremendous job she's done in what can be loosely described as public relations, although it's public relations of a very special sort.
00:46:15.060
This is survival, crisis, public relations, round the clock, seven days a week.
00:46:22.080
I think she's getting like four or five hours of sleep a night.
00:46:25.500
She's gone to bed late, and it's all day long, not just with reporters, but with supporters, with dealing with people out there who are trying to destroy her reputation out of the farm.
00:46:48.200
Focus on what Rebel is doing and what Viva Fry has been doing.
00:47:00.080
This is the most driving, the most incredibly taxing kind of communications there is.
00:47:10.620
It's this absolute four on the floor all day long, all throughout the week.
00:47:20.800
Fighting the good fight for freedom, for private property, for farmers across this country.
00:47:34.400
