The closing of many Ag research facilities in Canada is typical short sightedness by the Feds

Ag research strengthens our industry!
🇨🇦🪶🔫 : CPC MP Scott Anderson just blasted the CFIA and Liberal government for spending millions of dollars to conduct the mass inhumane slaughter of ostriches at the Universal Ostrich Farm.
The government fired hundreds of rounds into a kill pen at night, that took several hours to complete. No doubt the ostriches panicked and ran frantically around as the shots rang out, hour after hour.
The government did this to ensure the farm owners & protesters could hear every single shot fired.
This is Canada now folks. This is what fascism truly is. Terrorizing local citizens with 100+ RCMP officers as otherwise healthy birds are executed, in a show of government force.
