thanks very much thanks very much for joining me today folks it's david creighton broadcasting
00:00:06.960
to you live from our nation's capital in ottawa so happy to be here i want to show you something
00:00:28.880
isn't that isn't that beautiful i'm very proud of that when we come back our guest today is
00:00:36.080
the one and only katie passet nay who is joining us from edgewood bc at the universal ostrich farms
00:00:42.640
has been over my goodness over a week maybe 10 days since katie's been on the show
00:00:47.200
but she's back today and we've got plenty to talk about and plenty of hope to celebrate back in mere
00:00:56.240
moments the prime minister lied and his minions continue to your home is your castle we're calling
00:01:07.840
on the government to introduce and immediately pass the stand on guard law
00:01:26.400
no we'll do it live i can i'll write it and we'll do it live
00:01:34.720
and we're doing it live as we always do here every day at creighton's right and this is the show and
00:01:40.800
this is the channel it's stand on guard we continue to stand on guard for all canadians
00:01:46.640
but in particular we're standing on guard for some canadians at the universal ostrich farms
00:01:52.080
in edgewood bc and as i've said many times i grew up in british columbia it's my home province and i
00:01:58.080
feel a real affinity for the folks there and the people and for this family that i've been reporting
00:02:02.880
on their battle against government intrusion government overreach government occupation government
00:02:08.400
invasion government authoritarianism and i can't wait to talk about the latest with katie and we'll be
00:02:15.920
doing that very shortly a quarter past the hour i wanted to go through a few things though before we
00:02:22.160
got there and i think this is incredibly important we mentioned this yesterday this is and i'll be
00:02:30.400
asking katie about this perhaps a little obliquely because they're working on this behind the scenes
00:02:36.720
but i will ask her a couple of questions about this warrant to search now if you look carefully
00:02:43.040
there's no file number and if you read all three pages we've got them all and i'm going to put these
00:02:50.000
in the information so you have a chance to look at them yourself they're on my x right now go to my
00:03:01.280
my x site and you can find these but when you read to the end of page three it would appear
00:03:08.400
that the institution or the force authorizing this document is the cfia itself the cfi is giving
00:03:16.960
itself permission to have a warrant to search now that seems a little bit strange to me how about you
00:03:26.960
yeah it seems very odd to me and one of the and i wanted to go over this again
00:03:32.080
again because here's what's really strange about this whole story
00:03:40.000
at universal ostrich farms the cfia on january 2nd the farmers received an email from a cfia agent
00:03:47.840
stating their animals qualified for a depopulation exemption due to their rare and valuable genetics
00:03:56.080
this email included a distinct unit request package with a depopulation exemption form which they were
00:04:04.880
asked to complete to prevent the ostriches from being culled eight days later on january 10th the
00:04:14.000
farmers received official correspondence from the cfia denying their request for a depopulation exemption
00:04:21.520
stating they did not meet their criteria for unique and rare genetics this is after the cfia told them
00:04:28.000
they did in fact meet that criteria and that they were entitled so they rescinded this
00:04:36.800
in just over a week does something that smell right about this and of course we've been saying that
00:04:42.960
but i don't think i emphasized that well enough yesterday how really bizarre
00:04:50.880
this whole process has been for katie karen esperin and and dave bolinsky from day one the cfi has been
00:05:00.480
playing games with them now i want to go to this video because yesterday they had a visit at the farm from a
00:05:09.360
first nations group who said let us count the ostriches well you know how the government is when
00:05:17.600
first nations are involved they they tend to get a little worried that they might not be looking to
00:05:22.000
reconcile so they said well we'll have to get back to our superiors about that this is the first time
00:05:30.800
this is the first time anybody who has asked including a veterinarian who has asked to count the
00:05:38.720
ostriches hasn't been given a flat note saying forget it you're not looking at the ostriches you're
00:05:45.600
not counting the ostriches and of course this might be good news and by the way this warrant
00:05:52.880
expires on wednesday it's another question i have for katie what does that mean what does that mean
00:06:03.600
ah anyway i want to show you this latest and thanks again thanks again to chris dacy who's i think
00:06:11.360
he's been the only media on the on the property for the last couple of days and he's been faithfully
00:06:18.960
filing video footage so thank you chris for being there i don't know how much longer you can stay
00:06:25.040
there because it's not it's not indefinite but thank you for the work you've done this is interesting
00:06:34.000
okay and then that adds to that that's for the investigators but i've also emailed cfia and the
00:06:40.960
same thing just asking if not uh them which we would anybody right two people else we're also asking
00:06:48.880
that one of you guys come in uh just so we showed the impartialness to be fair that we we just want
00:06:55.040
to count okay if that happens like like i said you don't have to walk amongst them you just it's driving
00:07:02.960
it is driving but it takes two people to do the count but we've also if by chance they weren't
00:07:09.120
allowed and a certified vet yeah we're putting i gave so many options all we want is account okay
00:07:16.720
and we're taking their number 330 otherwise i'll put in a manifest that will show more than that but
00:07:22.240
we're willing to say just proves there's not that there's 330 birds there perfect awesome thank you
00:07:29.600
all right and you'll pass all the news to yeah hold everything she just said 330 birds there
00:07:40.640
we started with 399 we know about the death of spirit which this which the cfia
00:07:48.160
erroneously claimed was due to a pre-existing condition you know yeah due to neglect i think
00:07:54.240
the fact that could the poor bird could not get her electrolytes they were not feeding her and giving her
00:07:59.680
water so how did we go from five sorry 398 to 330 sounds to me like we're missing um
00:08:10.080
we're missing over 60 birds we're missing 68 birds where'd they go can see if i
00:08:18.080
account for this what happened to them but this is why we've got katie on the show
00:08:30.960
so sorry you weren't here um so the cfia are talking with their indigenous leadership consultant
00:08:37.440
and then they're also going to speak to their council council grand council well they're legal
00:08:43.520
so as he's kind of saying which is one thing we usually get a flat out no
00:08:58.240
whether they're delaying it we don't know or what's going on
00:09:01.680
i'm the steward of the great law though and they can't be consulting other people they're supposed to
00:09:07.040
be consulting with me we carry the seal of all nation international law your oath is to canada
00:09:13.120
it's not even to we the people so that's the answer that cfia gave well why can't we get a
00:09:18.960
number to the cfia or whatever because i don't want you can reach to through them through
00:09:24.640
karen on the email protocol if she wants to do that yeah but by monday these things could not
00:09:29.680
like they'll be here tomorrow they're disappearing no that's a life on the land that we we're here to
00:09:39.840
address we have to okay well that's the message that i'm bringing from them it's monday or tuesday
00:09:46.720
okay and i followed up when i went to the house i attached the letter uh so they have the evidence
00:09:52.160
of your letter which obviously you already took to them anyway so they have uh they have a copy if
00:09:57.200
they would need to pass it on it's attached right to a letter so uh so we've i've covered every angle
00:10:04.480
the the way they expect it to be done number two that got to the provost marshal because they're
00:10:12.960
they're with the crown of england they're not worth the people that's why i said i'd like to know who
00:10:17.680
they're consulting because the band councils our chiefs don't have a say we're the stewards of the
00:10:23.040
great law and we're here to protect this land by law so the chief and councils ready cherry chiefs of
00:10:29.040
this land here have no say they have a say with your with your crown with them notice how the rcmp
00:10:37.200
sucking up to the cfia says they have a grand council hmm sounds rather indigenous to me
00:10:43.120
incredible how they would they they are really doing their best to be evasive and by the way do you
00:10:52.240
notice this rcmp guy doesn't have any masking on no protective gear i thought he believed these
00:11:01.760
ostriches pose they risk the public health including his own clearly he doesn't believe that any more than
00:11:09.200
the c5 really does because it took them a couple days to put on their hazmat costumes which i i
00:11:14.480
repeat every day because it's that absurd british crown but we don't have a treaty with the british
00:11:19.680
crown treaties one to eleven were proven fraud in the highest courts of hay even your queen was taken
00:11:24.800
down for treason and it doesn't leave any abuse out because ignorance of this law is no excuse
00:11:30.400
your number or whatever we're all numbers but their numbers can still be taken down by the great law
00:11:36.400
you're respecting law of the land and they're not respecting if they're going to make me wait here
00:11:41.440
for four days what am i going to be here with oh am i going to survive here for four days waiting for
00:11:46.160
dirt well that's monday or tuesday today's sunday so that's tomorrow the next day are you okay with
00:11:52.240
that if you're okay one day uh no i'm never okay with anything but you know um i know i know and
00:11:59.360
we've already asked yesterday we are i am saying that the chief and council don't have legit contact
00:12:06.400
information of uh the uh the tribe that says that they actually this is their jurisdiction also as
00:12:15.440
far as the shoe swap okanagan so that and that was denied immediately because they're still within an
00:12:20.800
hour um see if i just said their reply exactly was because even you guys we have a warrant over the
00:12:28.080
property and we deny access and then i replied back immediately and said why why are you denying and
00:12:36.640
they have not answered back so now i attached to your letter and i sent another letter and asking and i
00:12:43.040
said um you and dave because it takes two people or you and me or you and katie uh but also a liaison
00:12:49.520
and a liaison because we want to show that we're being 100 impartial and that this is very fairly done
00:12:56.080
but they legitly gave the attorney general account of 330. like i said i will easily put a manifest
00:13:03.200
together but it's going to show more than that because we know there was more birds than that but
00:13:07.360
we're going to be good here to cfia and let the criminals say 330. so we're giving them 330. and
00:13:13.920
we say show prove us that there's 330 birds on that left um um karen maybe then i think you were about
00:13:26.240
to say maybe you could could clarify just other times that you've requested for bird counts you
00:13:30.640
were basically denied immediately or very quickly actually went to the attorney general and asked them to
00:13:36.160
talk to cfia on thursday and on thursday they said uh they said they would get back to him on friday
00:13:44.400
late afternoon um the attorney general came back and said cfia said no uh they denied it and our lawyer
00:13:52.000
said to the attorney generally he said isn't that a little suspicious that they won't let us just count
00:13:57.600
the birds and they said yeah but that's where it was left that's where it was left with just that
00:14:03.600
simplicity of an answer but they're not being accountable or transparent as to why if you don't
00:14:09.440
want to count why what is the problem with just account we're not saying touch the birds we're not
00:14:14.960
saying intervene with what you're doing we're saying we have numerous witnesses that are hearing the pops in
00:14:20.640
the night we have numerous witnesses that uh have looked into this to say that they're when they check
00:14:27.840
into the google thing it says a dart gun well what's the dart gun doing but the numbers are going down
00:14:33.040
and everybody that has been here for any length of time has looked at the road and people that have
00:14:38.560
gone up and taken pictures we've even had mike mike go my shirt david of pictures that he personally took
00:14:46.400
he put on a stick as evidence uh for the royal mountain police to do an investigation which is ongoing
00:14:54.160
but we're saying in this investigation why why do we have to supply manifest
00:15:03.440
so the fact that um that they said maybe they'll have an answer like they're talking now to someone
00:15:07.920
so it seems like maybe this has pushed things a little bit maybe the answer could still be no
00:15:12.240
but it wasn't an immediate no in this case exactly yeah exactly and that's that is a that is a good sign
00:15:19.920
so katie should be joining us momentarily here but i wanted to show you this clip we did with jerry
00:15:28.320
rich we had jerry rich on the other day and of course jerry is a former minister of agriculture he was
00:15:34.320
agriculture minister for eight years count them eight years and he is estimating
00:15:42.720
that this operation is costing the federal government between the cfia and the rcmp
00:15:51.840
a hundred thousand dollars a day now we did an estimate through grok the other day and it was much lower than that
00:16:01.360
so i'm a little concerned well next this operation is on unsustainable we cannot you cannot keep this going
00:16:14.640
and a lot of people are saying what it's been reported in many outlets this week that the supreme court will not get back at the earliest until
00:16:24.320
october 30th so i you know i don't think i'm not sure the ostriches can hold out against the
00:16:37.120
maltreatment neglect and cruelty of the cfia for that long this is a definite problem today
00:16:44.400
who are going up going to the mountain behind the farm and getting a zoom lens and trying to get a count
00:16:52.000
of what's going on and everybody is is telling them it's a hundred fewer birds there than were there in
00:17:01.680
the beginning and you know what what is frightening to me uh jerry is that this is a government agency
00:17:10.240
it's almost like the atf was in under bill clinton in the united states they just think they can act with
00:17:17.440
impunity you use that word they think they can act with impunity they're not going to be charged
00:17:24.000
they're telling the rcmp what to do i mean katie has told me several times that they tried to work
00:17:30.480
with the rcmp to get a count on the birds cfi has said forget it we're not going to give you that
00:17:36.240
cfi keeps saying we're not going to test the birds and if you the farmer tests the birds we're going to put
00:17:44.160
you in jail for six months and find you up to two hundred thousand dollars i mean how ridiculous is
00:17:50.080
that clearly somebody in this liberal government doesn't want the truth known about these birds
00:17:56.480
having herd immunity and this having something to do with big farming what do you think about that well
00:18:03.920
i'm not a conspiracy theorist but i mean when the chips start to fall on one side of the table you
00:18:08.320
really have to be conscious of where they're piling up in this case there's a lot of unanswered
00:18:13.440
questions uh i just don't understand how this has gotten as far as it has without some of those things
00:18:19.200
being addressed why are they refusing to test these birds i i can't for the life of me understand where
00:18:24.880
a hundred thousand dollar cost at that time was 400 birds now there's less why that would be an
00:18:30.080
impediment when they're probably spending that per day with everything they're doing would that not be
00:18:35.040
the get out of jail free card for the cfia and the rcmp to back away and say hey we've tested them
00:18:39.440
now everything's fine we're good we don't we have no trade internationally with ostrich that was the
00:18:45.120
first line of defense saying oh it's going to affect our poultry trade no these aren't poultry and we
00:18:49.840
don't export as i as far as i understand we don't export any live ostrich anymore so it it's going out as
00:18:57.200
hides and meat and eggs possibly and so on but there's no crossover with any of that product and they've
00:19:02.960
admitted that so why they won't test baffles the crap out of me and that's where as minister heath
00:19:09.120
mcdonald should step in and say just get it done it takes you know a few minutes per bird they've
00:19:14.560
already got the system to line them up and run them through so why aren't they doing that i i just can't
00:19:20.320
i can't believe that they're passing up this opportunity to build the science unless there's
00:19:26.080
someone calling the shots behind them that doesn't want the science revealed
00:19:29.360
yes very good question jerry and it's my real pleasure to welcome back
00:19:36.720
to stand on guard katie pasitney and it's it's always a pleasure to have katie on the show
00:19:42.560
and thank you so much for coming on this morning katie yeah good morning i know it's been a while
00:19:48.080
and i appreciate you and i appreciate all your coverage that you're doing um getting the facts
00:19:53.520
out there and getting the real information because there's a lot of misinformation right now
00:19:59.360
well i had a uh substack i put a substack out yesterday which i hope you have a chance to
00:20:04.400
put on your your excite today and it's gotten huge response and this interview i did with uh
00:20:11.760
former ag minister jerry ritz and he's he's an old friend i've known jerry since long before he was
00:20:16.960
he was a cabinet minister he he was a an mp from battleford saskatchewan for for many many years
00:20:22.960
great guy he was ag minister for eight years i think you probably learned something in eight
00:20:27.920
years and i you know i i asked jerry what did you think of the cfia when you were there and he said
00:20:35.920
they're no different than they are now they don't listen to to the political leaders they think they're
00:20:42.160
a bureaucracy that can just ignore everybody except their own dictates so i'm not surprised you're doing
00:20:47.440
this so i hope you if you have a chance to watch this interview i think you're going to be emboldened
00:20:52.560
by it and i think your family will be emboldened by it because jerry is still very influential
00:20:57.680
and and as we discussed yesterday kate i'm trying to get jerry you and i and viva fry all together this
00:21:05.360
week for an interview for a great discussion about this because i think it'll be very highly productive
00:21:10.960
so i better shut up for a while no i think that would be highly productive absolutely we need more
00:21:16.400
people like kim speaking up where we can get i think a little bit of an insight into the years
00:21:22.080
of canadian food inspection agency operations because this is not something new that just came
00:21:27.440
up this is decades of policy regulations um them having no oversight this is years and or decades of that
00:21:36.400
and i i mean we ought to look at what could be fixed and what could we learn from this um if we
00:21:42.720
could learn from this situation and move on to do something amazing for canada i think it would
00:21:46.800
benefit everybody um by repeating the same mistakes we're not doing anything and i i i love what he said
00:21:53.920
because i know that he said test them and a lot of people still think we can test them but the canadian
00:21:59.120
food inspection agency outright says that even if we test them and they all test negative they're still
00:22:04.880
set to die so there's this real brick wall when it comes to this ideology of testing them um then it
00:22:13.600
puts us back to well okay let's reform the policy because what jerry just said um there is no you know
00:22:20.240
international trade for ostrich uh that's not going to affect our supply chain management it shouldn't
00:22:26.160
be affecting the poultry association um we are not a we are not a commercial poultry farm and again this
00:22:33.680
all could be kind of put to rest if we just remove ostrich from poultry um but i do believe in something
00:22:41.360
that wayne easter said who worked for parliament for many years as well and he said that their heels
00:22:49.120
are dug too far deep right now they don't know how to get
00:23:11.360
i know that sometimes they have there we go there okay you never know i know this happens to redact it
00:23:18.960
all the time but but i but i think that is true what wayne easter said and i think their heels are
00:23:27.840
too dug dug too deep and they don't know how to get out of this so how do we offer everybody a good
00:23:32.800
solution where they can still maintain their level of you know i i don't know there's actually
00:23:41.040
if you think about it and and i guess maybe we're just a bit too far gone on our end as well
00:23:45.680
canadian food inspection agency has eroded the trust between canadians and a lot of international
00:23:51.040
people and that comes with real consequences and the real consequences of that is that we need
00:23:56.480
something i think that's going to be um come rebuilt have divisions like i said i don't understand how
00:24:03.120
the canadian food inspection agency is operating um and actually managing all the agricultural sector
00:24:09.680
i don't understand how the canadian food inspection agency is handling the fish um the wildlife you
00:24:16.720
know are not wildlife but the fisheries um then they have restaurants and they have the power of all
00:24:22.560
these other different uh areas we we really need to see i think more coordination more organization where
00:24:28.640
um say in the cattle industry there's a canadian food inspection agency cattle industry
00:24:33.680
um sector um they need experts in these areas they can't just pretend that it's a one-size-fits-all
00:24:39.440
solution where they know everything and um we really need to work at a rebuild and i think
00:24:47.280
we're ready for that and i don't know uh what to do in this situation this has been over 10 months
00:24:54.480
and i think where everybody answered they must be getting tired too david like this is um a lot of
00:25:00.640
money wasted when we should be doing something really good uh for animal welfare human welfare
00:25:06.560
and be putting canada on the map for new innovative science and technology they're supposed to be
00:25:11.520
working uh to evolve policy with veterinarians and scientists and what we're seeing is uh consistent
00:25:18.640
roadblocks yes consistent roadblocks and total obfuscation of the issue constantly from cfi but
00:25:28.880
wanted to talk briefly about this warrant to search you sent out the first page and other
00:25:34.000
pages later the other night and i talked to viva fry this morning he said be careful how you talk
00:25:38.080
about this because i know they're working on it so i just want to obliquely ask you this if you look
00:25:44.880
at that document and there's been tremendous pushback on social media from people who have read this and
00:25:50.800
they said hold it there's not even a file number on this document is this even legal and if you go to page
00:25:57.760
three it appears like the cfia is the authorizing agent for this for that for this the warrant to
00:26:04.240
search and it seems to me there's tremendous holes in this document and yet it's expiring on wednesday
00:26:11.280
right it's october 22nd it's expiring so you know first of all i know you're you're viewing this
00:26:17.440
document with suspicion but what happens on wednesday when they want to renew this thing ostensibly
00:26:22.000
yeah they renew it i don't know the complete procedure for that and the protocol but i know
00:26:28.480
that um they'll be probably filing or they'll be they'll be getting their new updated version
00:26:34.160
um we'll be talking to the lawyer now we were talking to him this morning um this has been
00:26:41.120
such a learning curve for all of us if they wrote a book on this it'd make it much easier but they didn't
00:26:46.000
and we're all human and i understand we all make mistakes but then that's where we all act like
00:26:51.440
adults and we all come to the table and say what could we learn from this how could we move forward
00:26:58.320
how could we better the canadian food inspection agency and what does that look like for canada
00:27:03.600
i think we just start asking the more productive questions rather than going backwards and it feels
00:27:10.160
like that's all we've been doing is going backwards but the canadian food inspection agency just
00:27:14.240
continues to move the goal post and when they move that goal post every time um there's a lot of
00:27:19.920
confusion with it because they say we have to do one thing you meet that goal then they move it to
00:27:25.600
another goal um and then here we are with them here for almost is it like four four weeks or three weeks
00:27:32.480
over three weeks and um there's consequences for that as well i mean our birds are paying the price
00:27:39.360
the ostriches they're not getting fed properly they're being neglected there's no
00:27:43.840
transparency in our communication there's a lack of communication and everything that they do just
00:27:50.960
adds to anger and frustration and more frustration and the world is feeling that because it should what
00:27:59.360
should be easy has become extremely difficult and uh again i thought we were supposed to be um working
00:28:08.080
together to better canada make canada safer and we have that potential here at universal ostrich farm and
00:28:14.880
um it's you know even all these rcmp that we have here like at the end of the day you talk to so many
00:28:22.160
of them and this is their first experience so canadian food inspection agency and they're learning too and
00:28:27.200
um there's a lot of bullying tactics and there's a lot of uh you know a lot of push on them to to do what they're
00:28:36.320
doing here and um i think so many people get upset when i have compassion for the rcmp but at the end of the day
00:28:43.120
they've been hired as security guards and the the biggest question we have to ask is why
00:28:48.320
why don't we have somebody to call when we need help who do we call when we need help as a farmer in
00:28:54.960
the agricultural sector and we're being steamrolled by an agency with excessive powder power who do we
00:29:01.360
call when you watch uh animal neglect in front of your eyes and animal cruelty who do you call um under
00:29:07.600
the canadian food inspection agency who do you call and uh we're seeing some a little bit more momentum
00:29:13.200
and a little bit of motivation uh in the political world but we need more where are our politicians
00:29:20.880
where are our leaders uh you know we're calling on the leaders to really step up right now because
00:29:25.520
everybody is really looking for some direction and it shouldn't be coming from our family it shouldn't
00:29:30.160
be coming from um it shouldn't be coming from um everybody out there in the world we should be our
00:29:38.080
leaders should be trying to bring a solution to the table and we're just not seeing that
00:29:43.200
and i really really hope i'm calling on our leaders to be leaders and come up with a solution
00:29:48.560
here that's going to benefit everybody well you gave a statement to the rcmp on saturday i believe
00:29:55.200
it was and are you confident at all that the cfia is going to be charged with cruelty to animals
00:30:02.560
you've got the evidence you put it out there all of us who have been following this story well not all
00:30:07.200
of us but most of us have put that evidence on social media on our broadcast platforms
00:30:12.880
in our stories and it doesn't seem like there's much of a reaction are they taking this seriously
00:30:19.280
this is an organization that's clearly mistreating neglecting and exercising cruelty to a very large
00:30:26.720
degree against your ostriches and i guess first question do you think there's going to be a charge
00:30:34.080
against them and your mom in the in the interview i showed at the beginning of the show said there's
00:30:41.280
330 ostriches remain what happened to the other 68 and this is you know so everybody has gotten hung
00:30:49.520
up on numbers across the world there's the people who are just angry about the farm who want to find
00:30:54.960
something to be create more division and this has been the perfect opportunity is canadian food
00:31:00.640
inspection agency has a number that was not the same as ours um and then and division is the oldest
00:31:08.960
tool in the toolbox and as long as we remain fighting behind the scenes at each other they get
00:31:14.000
away from with everything that they want we're passing bills in canada left right and center that are
00:31:19.360
taking away our freedoms our speech our uh every our rights and here we are we're let's just go off
00:31:27.520
their 330 even if we went off their government stated number on their website and we know that
00:31:34.480
all of our imagery that have been taken from the mountains and the hills all down into the pens we're
00:31:39.440
not getting to 330. so the family and farms of the world's question is right now why can't we even get
00:31:45.280
to 330 where are the ostriches going that's a now question where are they why can't we count them
00:31:52.960
why are we being met with resistance on every level um we've had indigenous try to come in and just
00:32:00.560
speak to them about their unceded territory with respect and say please just let us count them and
00:32:06.800
that's been shut down um we have had uh i mean we've put in our notices into canadian food inspection
00:32:14.560
inspection agency asking why can we count them ourselves um dave or myself or mom we'll leave
00:32:21.200
our phones outside the pen um can we just come in and count every time we asked to count these animals
00:32:27.040
were being denied the rcmp put up a drone and they thought that they were helping us because they are
00:32:32.160
here to keep the peace and right before thanksgiving weekend we had them put a drone up they were going
00:32:36.880
to give us a count they thought that would help put the family's mind to ease and what we saw was
00:32:42.400
them get shut down as well by canadian food inspection agency saying that they were interfering
00:32:47.360
with an investigation now to my knowledge with that uh warrant to search there's no investigation
00:32:54.240
there's this is a slaughter so i don't understand how this is uh this is affecting an investigation
00:33:02.240
but why can't we count them um why is the communication so hard between the family and
00:33:09.520
the agency that is on our land with the animals under an interim stay order why is there such a
00:33:16.160
a communication breakdown and it's why is it so hard to ask them to do the proper bedding
00:33:22.480
why is it so hard to make sure that the animals are getting fed their 26 five gallon pails a day of
00:33:27.440
their grain why is it so hard to get visuals on that and just some clarification why why is this agency
00:33:36.000
making it so hard to get the easiest answers are you confident in any way that they will be charged
00:33:45.120
the cfia will be charged for animal cruelty no no this is an agency that operates above the law they
00:33:51.920
make their own law and uh international law right they're involved with the world animal health
00:33:57.440
organization taking the lead and the directives from the world health organization which then is our
00:34:02.720
one health agenda and the united nations and we're we're not taking the direction and we're not
00:34:08.240
making the decisions from our federal to the provincial to the municipal levels anymore and that is another
00:34:14.400
big alarming piece for all canadians we need to ask why um who oversees the canadian food inspection
00:34:21.280
agency why are they making their own rules why are they allowed to um operate with no oversight they
00:34:28.800
they even go through their own audits um they let's even talk about um their audits and their uh
00:34:36.480
investigation uh we have the investigation on just the where are the ostriches and they actually
00:34:43.920
handle their own internal investigation the rcmp is not really in charge of investigating them the canadian
00:34:51.520
food inspection agency is in charge of investigating themselves could you imagine if we allowed criminals to
00:34:57.760
do that in canada that they were in charge of handling their own investigation i mean what do you
00:35:03.680
think uh what's going to happen so no i don't know i don't have faith that there's going to be any
00:35:09.120
charges brought down that there should be and uh again that's the problem let's all keep focused on
00:35:15.920
the biggest uh the the biggest issues here and that is this agency's been operating for decades with no
00:35:23.440
oversight and this is the first time where they've kind of been held accountable and being watched by
00:35:29.120
thousands and thousands of people um people have been watching them break their own policy and their
00:35:34.480
own protocol people have been watching them not um break their own code of conduct watching them break
00:35:40.720
their own uh mandates so what do we do i mean it's the age-old question of the day i think on this monday
00:35:48.240
morning and it is miracle monday i always say it's manifesting miracle more monday um every day is
00:35:55.680
opportunity to be filled with miracles but what do we do what do we do and who do we go to
00:36:03.200
well i think one of the reasons i was filled with some degree of hope when i talked to jerry ritz last
00:36:08.720
week was that you know he not only said this is a problem that's persisted for many many years and this
00:36:17.120
is a rogue agency we probably have a rogue government as well but this is a rogue agency
00:36:22.480
but you know he said they won't test the ostriches because they say it costs too much he says
00:36:27.520
that's crap we have a system in place they could do it today yeah and it might cost a hundred thousand
00:36:33.120
dollars and he said but hey that's what this operation is probably costing and i and i said the
00:36:39.760
estimate i had last week from grok was about half of that but i think jerry probably got his finger on that
00:36:46.400
because when he was minister he knew exactly how much these people were costing him in the field
00:36:52.880
and i think he's adjusting that for the the 15 years since but a hundred thousand dollars a day
00:37:00.400
to keep the cfia and the rcmp in your backyard and your aunt's backyard so they can't pick the garlic and
00:37:07.600
that to me is another outrageous example of how this government doesn't give a damn about anybody
00:37:14.240
except their supporters but here's what i'm thinking this operation is not sustainable katie
00:37:21.200
this operation is not sustainable and it's becoming and i think this is something and we'll talk about
00:37:26.800
this later this is something i think that needs to be discussed more this is has become
00:37:32.720
mark carney's million two million three million dollar boondoggle because the longer these people
00:37:40.640
are there occupying your backyard and doing nothing except harming the ostriches the more ridiculous
00:37:47.280
the more the more sinister and and the more wrong these forces look so i think that is something that
00:37:54.800
i i really think we have to emphasize the cost of this operation and whatever the hell they want to call it
00:38:00.720
and the cost of this crime i'm going to put it that way the cost of this crime is probably a hundred
00:38:06.320
thousand dollars a day and i don't think that's sustainable especially when we need cops
00:38:12.400
looking for liquid meth at the vancouver ports that we're sending to new zealand and killing people
00:38:19.200
and nobody wants to talk about that either that this is this is misdirecting police forces to a peaceful
00:38:27.280
law-abiding farm instead of doing their job and i think this is something else we have to emphasize
00:38:33.840
that this is unacceptable this is not acceptable in a country like canada no it's not it's not
00:38:39.120
acceptable even what happened to jim kerr here absolutely unacceptable no matter how the mainstream
00:38:44.960
media wants to paint it out um you know he did a live and he filmed himself going around the blue fence
00:38:51.280
which we've been told is you know we can't go around the blue fence but what this shows is he
00:38:56.960
this canadian food inspection agency is pushing really good people who have been supporters for
00:39:02.720
so many months pouring their heart into this pushing them to do things that they would never do
00:39:08.080
and it was literally just pushing grain under the fence to the animals that are starving and here he was
00:39:15.600
arrested and so you know it was a heroic action because i mean in his heart he was doing the right
00:39:21.600
thing and um everybody was like well he didn't cross the yellow police tape he didn't do this and he
00:39:27.600
didn't do that and he should have never been arrested we it we shouldn't be in this position
00:39:31.840
to start with number two we shouldn't have starving animals number three we shouldn't have supporters
00:39:35.920
that feel like they got to break the law to push grain in the underneath the fence and number four
00:39:40.240
you're right i mean here it is um he should have never been arrested because then we have video
00:39:45.280
footage of the police doing the exact same thing going around the blue fence that he did why aren't
00:39:51.200
they charged why are they going around that blue fence and you know we just really have to stick together
00:39:57.040
right now and that's what i think it's really important um the this agency is uh operating with
00:40:06.080
no and for the different regulations there um we need way more clear clear mandates clear clear uh
00:40:16.080
modern rules they need rules i think you know let's just go back to they need some rules they don't have any
00:40:23.120
um i'm really really concerned about what this is doing to to canada as well though because i think
00:40:30.160
what we haven't realized is that this is put putting canadians more at risk now than ever
00:40:34.240
um when we have an agency that we're supposed to trust and rely on to report reportable diseases
00:40:40.560
and we don't because we're worried about them coming in and killing everything we have
00:40:45.360
then we're putting canadians more at risk than ever because who do you call and we're going back to
00:40:49.920
the shoot shovel shut up now if there is a really big threat and there is a reportable disease that
00:40:55.040
we need to get our hand a handle on um we're probably gonna miss that and that's a little bit that's
00:41:02.320
scary um i think we need to come like i said to the table as adults and we need to figure this out
00:41:09.440
we need to bring experts in in their field for the for cattle farmers for dairy for hog growers for
00:41:16.800
ostrich for poultry but i believe that there has to be a more um a bigger what would you say
00:41:24.560
just a bigger group a bigger panel um on this rather than um rather than what they've been
00:41:32.080
allowed to operate with for for so long more expertise like way more expertise in the field
00:41:37.440
we were experts on for um up to february 1st if you remember that we were told by february 1st we were
00:41:43.680
to kill all of our own animals and bury them with a really bad strain of avian influenza supposedly
00:41:51.040
uh and then after february 1st somehow we lost the right to be experts even in handling the virus
00:41:57.200
another really big point i want to point out again um remember since february 26th you know we talk
00:42:03.440
about the most violent threat of avian influenza sitting here on universal ostrich farm february 26th
00:42:09.680
canadian food inspection agency had not set foot on our farm uh till september 22nd february 26th to
00:42:18.400
september 22nd they had they had no site visits they did not come and do any water samples soil
00:42:24.560
samples not one of these ostriches on our farm have ever been tested we were doing chores every day
00:42:34.640
in and out of there on our lives we were we're transparent we were not hiding anything we were
00:42:39.360
not wearing hazmat suits we knew that there was no violent threat and uh they were allowing us to go
00:42:46.080
all over we could have gone on a plane and flew to mexico if we wanted and they knew that we were
00:42:52.240
in with the pens they knew we were in and out of there they knew what we were wearing they knew how
00:42:56.640
we were feeding um so you know there just is a lot of this that doesn't make sense for a lot of canadians
00:43:03.280
and a lot of people around the world how can any of this make sense and then they can come in with force
00:43:10.400
on september 22nd and um you know push themselves through and uh and then you know and waive their
00:43:19.600
authority around serving us uh these these warrants to search that we're going to last almost a month
00:43:26.560
and now then we got an interim stay order and that interim stay order which we've had many interim stay
00:43:33.360
orders and we have had occupancy of our animals through those interim stay orders and been allowed to
00:43:39.200
feed and then now we can't i don't understand what happened between that one and this one um but we
00:43:45.280
should be able to care for our animals i've been pointing out for the last couple of days as well
00:43:50.960
as the cfia gave you an a an exemption to depopulation as they call it and they rescinded that exemption
00:44:00.000
eight days later and as i've also pointed out the same it was a week later after that the federal
00:44:07.680
government announced it was buying the vaccine the avian flu vaccine from gsk yeah now is there some
00:44:17.920
connection here because the cfia clearly said okay we recognize these ostriches are unique genetic
00:44:25.520
specimens so you don't have to depopulate as they like their euphemism and yet a week later it's like
00:44:32.080
they got orders saying hold it no we're not we're not going to allow any herd immunity here and guess
00:44:38.720
what we're buying we're buying the vaccine and that's those are the marching orders the these are
00:44:44.240
the facts we have to continue to hammer out because we need to put a spotlight on the cfia in terms of how
00:44:50.640
it's being politically motivated yeah by ideology not and not by science yeah and that's what we are
00:44:58.400
sitting canada sitting on 550 000 doses of h5n1 vaccinations right now and that is alarming because
00:45:07.520
it is not um avian influenza has become an endemic uh it's been around for years and as long as there's
00:45:15.280
migratory birds flying around we we're going to have avian influenza so um what are we going to do to for
00:45:21.680
all the open air outdoor animals are we going to just kill them or are we going to put them in barns
00:45:28.720
i mean ostriches i know can't live in barns they're a long living animal uh they live up to 50 to 70 years
00:45:35.600
they need the sunshine and they need to be outside uh so what are you going to do um you know there's
00:45:41.760
550 000 doses of the h5n1 vaccination you start to work it out they did this to the truckers and then
00:45:48.000
they did this to the healthcare workers you start to work it down to how many farms there are commercial
00:45:52.560
farms in canada to how many workers there are and what's going to be next to own your animals you're
00:45:58.160
going to have to get vaccinated you know and then you just got to start asking the questions are we
00:46:02.880
repeating history um and uh are we going to set uh you know be on the right side of history and say
00:46:09.200
absolutely not uh i i say to a lot of people i bet you if you went and got your antibodies tested
00:46:15.280
you have h5n1 antibodies uh you know if this was a true violent threat or a big threat to canadians
00:46:24.640
the beaches should have never been open this year the lakes should have never been open this year
00:46:29.440
the we shouldn't have had kids in parks this year um you know it all should have been closed down
00:46:35.360
because as long as there's migratory birds you're going to have contact with possible h5n1 i mean
00:46:41.840
it's this is uh we're this is we're chasing something that's totally unobtainable and that's
00:46:48.320
the avian influenza free status for trade it just does it will not exist it can't exist
00:46:56.080
well the cfi is even exceeding the regulations of the world organization for animal health because they
00:47:02.800
they are not saying you should automatically go to a stamping out policy you should quarantine the birds and
00:47:09.760
then test the birds to see if they're safe cfi has totally overridden this and gone right to
00:47:15.600
stamping out so i'm seeing reports that the supreme court might not assess or answer whether or not
00:47:24.960
they're going to hear your case or not till october 30th that's 10 days away do you think the birds
00:47:29.760
have that long if if the cfi continues to treat them the way they are have you got 10 days it's a good
00:47:37.360
question depends on how what their level of care is going to be i mean are they going to start feeding
00:47:42.320
them more because they do need more food because the winter is if the cold weather's here and just
00:47:47.120
like every animal you up their food and their quality of food um uh we're not getting transparent
00:47:53.840
communication and we're not getting good visuals on the on the ostriches so i don't know and if uh
00:47:59.680
we're going to keep pushing and we need bedding food and shelter uh we would have been preparing
00:48:05.280
waters are going to start to freeze uh there is winterizing that has to be done out there for
00:48:11.040
the care of these animals and we're just continuously being met with resistance so
00:48:16.400
i want to say i want to think yes we have 10 days i want to think that i want to think the best um
00:48:22.720
but again how how do we know are the animals going to start to fall ill and and not more because of that
00:48:29.520
the neglect very possible and again it's just the same question why why are we here and why are we
00:48:36.640
why are we going through this situation that could be handled so easily by an adult conversation sitting
00:48:42.320
at the table um and uh and just coming up with a better way for all canadians this is still a maybe
00:48:50.800
though in terms of this first nation yeah so here's what i think could happen is that this could be a
00:48:57.760
crack in the cfia's uh work wall and i think if if there are if the first nations are allowed to count
00:49:05.440
the birds i think this might be the beginning of the crumbling of this entire bureaucratic scheme here
00:49:11.920
because other things might follow and this is what i think we all need to work anybody who's concerned
00:49:18.960
about your farm your freedom and all of our freedom canada needs to ensure that in the next 10 days
00:49:27.600
this begins to crumble and i think what we need to use whatever resources are out there to make that
00:49:33.040
crumbling begin i think this might be the beginning of that and i had to laugh to the rcmp officer in that
00:49:40.480
in that that video uh that chris daisy put up yesterday once again they're not wearing any any
00:49:47.120
mask any protective gear they're not taking this very seriously and we know the cfi cfi didn't take
00:49:53.280
it seriously for days before they put their costumes on so it strikes me that there this could be the
00:50:01.360
beginning the turning point i hope the turning point yeah i hope because if they proceeded with the
00:50:09.120
slaughter um it's not only killing the healthy animals but it's going to kill trust innovation
00:50:16.960
science opportunity um and i think the big one that i just said is trust it's really killing off any
00:50:24.240
trust that was left but if they pause and they could reconsider uh choose science over fear speculation
00:50:32.880
um get rid of the speculation um get rid of the speculation and then still go back to science
00:50:37.280
discovery over destruction which i always say um canada could lead in reshaping uh the agricultural
00:50:45.200
response with the new outbreak response new strong policy that everybody could feel confident in
00:50:51.920
evidence um based and we could lead this with courage and we could lead this with a complete new face a new
00:50:59.440
vision a new platform and come back out of this way stronger than ever and we just could restore
00:51:06.400
the hope and that trusting canadians like i said that have become so attached to these ostriches because
00:51:11.680
they become beacons of hope i call them for so many we can identify resemble um our or see ourselves in
00:51:19.920
these animals and that is the you know just isolated and their voice being silenced and being controlled
00:51:28.640
and um we have a great opportunity they've they've done a really good uh job at displaying their
00:51:35.280
theatrical display of punishment and that's what i love to call it because there's the big blue mile
00:51:40.320
of fencing um blue fencing that's a punishment fence this is nothing to do with justice this is nothing
00:51:46.880
to do with innovation and this has nothing to do with science this is punishment punishment for
00:51:51.840
standing up to an agency that yields way too much power this is punishment for standing up and using
00:51:59.440
your voice to protect industry when there's way too much behind the scenes politically going on that
00:52:04.880
we can i can't even we can even imagine and we're just you're right like we are starting to expose different
00:52:10.880
layers and um and i really do hope we see that crumble because we need uh to reshape our agricultural
00:52:19.040
response to outbreak outbreak response yes absolutely and you've been punished by the cbc and i i don't
00:52:26.640
want to i was going i was going to ask you how did you feel when you saw that this hour is 22 minutes
00:52:32.160
segment where they depict you and your family like a bunch of ignorant hay seeds who are just too stupid
00:52:37.760
and i and i you know i have said repeatedly on the air that i don't know a more articulate eloquent
00:52:43.760
spokeswoman for the agricultural sector and i was so furious when i watched this segment because not
00:52:51.120
only has the cbc done numerous hit pieces yeah on you that have been completely based on nonsense and
00:52:59.280
erroneous material and business misinformation they've got the audacity to put a comedy sketch so-called
00:53:06.560
comedy sketch out that i think everybody i've talked to so they almost barked watching this because
00:53:12.160
it's not only disgusting it's it's strictly from high school it's so badly done it's so amateurish and
00:53:19.840
yet the cbc has had the audacity to copyright that so we couldn't show it on youtube and so we're not only
00:53:29.120
paying as taxpayers for this god-awful news agency and this this crown corporation that sucks up
00:53:36.080
1.3 billion dollars a year we can't even run their horrible segments to laugh at them and criticize
00:53:42.080
because they're copyrighted so i'm sure that made you feel real good but i you know i'll end it with
00:53:48.800
this uh katie i don't know how you've held up because as somebody who who used to work in military
00:53:56.000
public affairs i would be deployed for three weeks at a time doing a search and rescue operation and i would
00:54:01.840
be getting like 50 60 media calls a day at the minimum sometimes hundreds and i would be doing
00:54:07.600
interviews around the clock as as we tried to say how the operation was going whether we found any
00:54:14.000
people living or dead and how you know how hard our sartex were working and i was exhausted after
00:54:22.560
three weeks of that you've been doing this not you've been doing it to some degree for the entire
00:54:29.280
year but it's ever since these people invaded and occupied your farm four weeks ago today and this is
00:54:36.640
the fourth this is the four-week anniversary today they occupy they've invaded and occupied your farm
00:54:41.120
you have been doing that kind of public relations round the clock and i don't know how you do it i mean
00:54:47.680
i pray for you every day sorry i appreciate that but you know what's the hardest it's the division
00:54:55.840
ever since canadian food inspection agency put a social media task force on us the absolute
00:55:03.440
you know well-built um the material that's out there that it looks so true there was so much
00:55:10.880
misinformation so many lies and the attacks on many of our personal families on us the degrading
00:55:19.280
material that's put out there about us it is hurtful it is and you know what when you go to the rcmp
00:55:24.960
about all these hate groups that are inciting violence and they're inciting hate and they're just um
00:55:31.200
gathering momentum and there's nothing anybody can do about them and that is it is a concern i mean
00:55:37.200
what kind of a country do we live in when we allow that to to to exist um here we are we've been doing
00:55:43.600
everything right and we've been taking the legal process all seriously and we have handled this i
00:55:50.160
do believe with dignity and integrity and respect and here we are fighting for our agricultural sector
00:55:57.040
policy change that's going to have a ripple effect for our children and our grandchildren and they're
00:56:01.840
attacking us um based off old something old you know like four years ago i said the wrong word as i
00:56:09.520
learned about the program that we were doing here at the fires and once again in the fires i came and i
00:56:15.600
hunkered down and we were protecting all of our animals and i said one wrong word in that interview and
00:56:21.520
everybody is just slaughtering me over it because i i was learning our program and i said vaccine i said yeah
00:56:28.320
we vaccinated our animals we did not vaccinate our animals i learned the process through the
00:56:33.360
scientists and it was an antigen that was given to the hens and there was a one protein one protein
00:56:40.960
of the virus to then pretend make up a sequence to mimic whatever virus you know we want to give them
00:56:49.040
an antigen for um so it's a pretend virus sequence that makes the hen then um go into an autoimmune response
00:56:57.680
developing amazing beautiful robust antibodies that we can then use for human and animal welfare
00:57:05.200
protecting our children's future grandchildren's future and then it pushes us away from the vaccine
00:57:11.680
reliance but that one word has caused so much anguish and so much uh distraction over what we're really
00:57:20.320
fighting for here these animals deserve the right to to live there's millions of animals that deserve the
00:57:26.720
right to live farmers deserve the right for their livelihoods to be protected no property should
00:57:32.240
ever be seized by canadian food inspection agency no animals should be seized by canadian food inspection
00:57:38.320
agency based off speculation we need to band together and we need to protect our food security
00:57:44.000
our sovereignty our voices our freedoms and canada right now i think we're at a really critical time
00:57:50.000
and a pivotal time in history that we need to stand on the right side of canadian history and we need to
00:57:55.120
protect each other um we need to get rid of the division and mainstream media has done a bang up job
00:58:03.520
putting out there um some really really distasteful material but we're going to just stick with um doing
00:58:10.000
podcasts like yours that get the proper information out there and i think we just need to
00:58:15.360
stick with the facts and we need to see how we can get ourselves out of this
00:58:19.440
we'll be happy to know youtube hasn't been able to suppress this broadcast they try every time i cover
00:58:26.560
this story and i'll tell you i don't think there's been a day in the last three weeks that i haven't
00:58:31.760
done a segment on the show about what's happening there and that's because i from day one it's been
00:58:38.080
six months at least since i first had you on the show back in april and we've you know we've we've become
00:58:45.520
very good friends we've talked we talk about this every day and i admire your courage so much but
00:58:51.760
i'm glad you mentioned the cfia bots because my producer said don't forget to mention the cfia bots
00:59:01.200
yeah yeah so just remember get off if we use one tenth of our energy on those hate groups to go do
00:59:07.440
something good for the world we would have already we'd already be in a better position by now
00:59:11.760
you know does freedom i'll give you this encouragement too i mean there's a lot of
00:59:19.200
idiots on social media on both sides of the political spectrum who will just do nothing
00:59:25.280
except cause disturbances cause division cause annoyance because they like to get into the
00:59:32.240
they like to get in with the pigs in the mud and and and do this which is why somebody insults me on
00:59:38.000
social media i ignore them i don't get into the tip for tap because i don't frankly have the time
00:59:43.280
or the energy and you know what you know what they say when when you when you get into a fight with a
00:59:49.200
pig you know all you do is make the big happy and that's that's that's what happens with these people
00:59:54.160
because and so all i can say is ignore these social media people who think they're influencers
01:00:02.400
because they're not because they disappear next week next month they have no substance they have
01:00:08.720
no real followers these are these are people that just live off controversy and they use controversies
01:00:15.680
like this for their own agenda and that's i have no i have no time for that at all so don't don't let
01:00:23.520
these people get you down katie because you're doing a tremendous job i don't know i don't know who else
01:00:30.080
could be doing this right now who has the knowledge of agriculture and the ability and the expertise
01:00:36.080
to act as a as a public affairs public relations officer that's essentially what you're doing
01:00:40.880
for this farm and it's a massive job and this story has become not only north american but global
01:00:48.800
and it's going to get bigger in the next week i can promise you that because i'm going to make it
01:00:53.760
bigger as much as i can well thank you we're going to work we're going to work together on this i
01:01:00.000
appreciate you as always and we have a lot of uh a lot of ability to do some really good things
01:01:06.800
and when we use our voice for good and i'm going to keep pushing and i'm going to keep using my voice
01:01:12.240
and i am as much as i get discouraged um i'm gonna i do see it for what it is and um i always have been
01:01:21.280
