In this eye-opening episode of the Grey Matter Podcast, host Leighton Grey K.C. sit down with investigative journalists Jason Lavigne and Chris Dacey to unpack the shocking story behind the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s (CFIA) controversial destruction of over 300 ostriches at Universal Ostrich Farm in British Columbia.
Discover the paramilitary enforcement tactics, the intense legal battles that reached the Supreme Court of Canada, and the devastating impact on family farms and property rights.

The emotional and psychological toll on farm families and supporters
