Supreme Court Rejects Ostrich Farm Appeal

  • πŸ’” The Supreme Court of Canada has rejected an appeal by the Universal Ostrich Farm, allowing the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) to proceed with the killing of 400 ostriches.
  • 😭 Katie Pitney, owner of the farm, expressed deep distress following the court's decision, which was communicated with only a few words indicating dismissal.

CFIA Operations and Concerns

  • πŸ”« Reports indicate the CFIA has set up automatic rifles in a "death zone" area, suggesting a shooting method rather than the previously anticipated gassing.
  • ❓ Concerns are raised about the CFIA's methods and potential illegal activities during the past five weeks, including the unexplained decrease in the ostrich count.
  • 🚫 The CFIA has refused to provide an official count of the ostriches, citing an inability to accurately count them, which is met with skepticism.

Allegations of Collusion and Government Overreach

  • 🀝 Questions are posed regarding potential collusion between the Supreme Court and the CFIA, given the CFIA's rapid release of a statement immediately after the court's decision.
  • 🚩 The CFIA's justification for the cull, citing public health and disease, is disputed, with accusations that they acted without proper justification and potentially illegally.
  • πŸ—£οΈ The actions of the Canadian government, particularly under "Marxist Carney," are criticized as being "off the rails" and "rogue," representing a fascist ideology rather than democratic values.

Impact on Farmers and Property Rights

  • πŸ“‰ Farmers are feeling insecure about their property, livestock, livelihood, and reputation following this decision.
  • πŸ“’ The fight is framed as a broader battle for property rights and individual freedoms for all Canadians, not just an issue for one farm.
  • πŸ’Έ The Universal Ostrich Farm may not be reimbursed by the government for the ostriches, and they may also be liable for the government's legal costs.

Public Opinion and Government Perception

  • πŸ“Š Public support for the farm's stance is estimated at around 60% in favor, indicating significant public disapproval of the government's actions.
  • 😠 The Mark Carney government is perceived as brutal, mean, and lacking empathy, further damaging its public relations.
  • 🌾 The government's actions are seen as a continuation of a decade-long "war against agriculture" that undervalues farmers and their role in the food chain.
  • πŸ”’ Concerns are also raised about upcoming surveillance and censorship laws in Canada, which are expected to pass due to government majority support.
