What is at stake?
This is not just a battle over one farm. If CFIA’s interpretation stands, it will:
Set precedent for blind application of policy over evidence.
Cement Canada’s One Health-aligned biosecurity regime.
Strip farmers of any real legal recourse when bureaucracy ignores science.
If the Federal Court of Appeal rules against UOF, it doesn’t just uphold the cull … it effectively cements the legislative overreach embedded in Bill C-5, making that technocratic trap all the more difficult to escape.
Bill C-5 (One Canadian Economy Act) gives sweeping powers to centralized federal authorities, under the pretense of “coherence” and “emergency response coordination.” One of its most dangerous provisions is that it allows federal regulations to override any other conflicting federal law, except for a narrow set of listed Acts.
The Health of Animals Act is not on that exception list.
If UOF loses, the court will have effectively endorsed:
That policy can trump science,
That discretion is meaningless when the bureaucracy says so, and
That federal agencies can enforce mass destruction without due process.
That is exactly the kind of unchecked regulatory power Bill C-5 was designed to entrench across all sectors … agriculture, health, transportation, environment, all under a unified, centralized model of “crisis governance.”
A loss here signals to the courts and Parliament alike that no resistance will be tolerated when a federal agency invokes a “policy” in the name of biosecurity or climate readiness. In short:
UOF losing this case makes Bill C-5’s power grab appear normal and judicially validated.

Open Letter to Federal Court of Appeal
By Connie Shields
July 16, 2025
Three judges in Canada’s Federal Court of Appeal now hold the fate of a small farm and potentially the fate of due process itself, in their hands.
We, concerned citizens and defenders of fundamental rights, write to respectfully urge this Honourable Court to render a decision that restores the rule of law, evidentiary integrity, and constitutional accountability in the matter of Universal Ostrich Farms Inc. v. Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).
Why This Case Matters
This case is not about poultry. It is not even strictly about ostriches. It is about whether a government agency can act without transparency, oversight, or adherence to the principles of natural justice.
It is about whether a small farm , with no reported “cases” of bird flu since January , can be ordered to cull hundreds of healthy, rare birds based on outdated policy, flawed assumptions, and only two PCR tests on decomposing carcasses, while all further testing is denied.
CFIA counsel today claimed, on the public record, that only two birds were tested because the rest were scavenged and or decomposed. This is demonstrably false. Several ostriches died after those two tests. A hen died in the presence of CFIA agents, who could have collected viable samples but did not. No necropsies were performed on any of the 69 dead birds. NO CAUSE OF DEATH HAS EVER BEEN DETERMINED.
These are not minor oversights. They strike at the very heart of evidence-based science and procedural fairness.
Conflict of Interest That Cannot Be Ignored
During today’s hearing, UOF counsel raised a serious concern: the farm’s former lawyer, coerced his clients into signing over their future compensation , from the very agency they were fighting , to cover his legal fees. In exchange, he continued to represent them during the judicial review, only to abandon critical arguments, including invoking the Canadian Bill of Rights.
Even Justice Zinn remarked in his written decision that the Bill of Rights argument had been abandoned — not rejected — leaving a gaping hole in the defense of fundamental rights.
Let that sink in: The lawyer’s pay cheque would be signed by CFIA — but only if the birds were killed. This isn’t just a conflict of interest. It is a betrayal of client trust and a potential breach of professional ethics.
This Court now has before it the opportunity to recognize this injustice, and to ensure that a party is not punished because its previous counsel failed to do their job.
Please share this open letter widely. The judges may never read it directly — but the truth has a way of finding its way into the record.

SARS CoV-2 no record found
By Christine Massey

“ER” and I recorded a brief message for all men and women who act as police officers in Ontario, regarding lack of any valid scientific evidence showing the existence of a “covid-19” (“SARS-COV-2”), lack of “due process”, and how this involves them and their loved ones.

Freedom lives on the other side of discomfort
Despite millions of severely disabled and/or dead covid-19 injected humans, why are covid-19 jabs still offered?
Why doesn’t MAHA [Make America Healthy Again] end m-RNA technology injections still mislabeled as vaccines, despite correlation between covid-19 jabs and millions of deaths? https://denisrancourt.substack.com
Why did FDA just license Moderna’s “Spikevax” shot for use in children aged six months through eleven years considered at increased risk of severe COVID‑19 disease. https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/spikevax
In the absence of proof of SARS-CoV2, and in the absence of proof of H5N1 bird flu, isn’t it time for each of us to broadcast objective truth more widely so people who are ready can see the bigger picture and contribute to solutions? https://christinemasseyfois.substack.com
