Black Press, Okanagan: "Fined for being uncooperative" Canadian Food Inspection Agency: "fined over failure to undertake appropriate biosecurity risk mitigation measures" and failure to cull its birds. #VernonBC

Local news media much prefer promoting sensational unqualified disinformationalists rather than the serious, more challenging business of analysing the science of avian influenza pathology. A real community disservice here; @castanet.net should be ashamed. #VernonBC

Agreed. Their sensationalism tends to have a right leaning tilt.

Scott Anderson, Vernon—Lake Country—Monashee CPC MP and "Social Media Influencer", supporting the avain-flu compromised Edgewood ostriches. Because of course he would. #VernonBC

Anderson will be right in with that nasty Poilievre streak in the CPC.

"While he made no recommendations..." @castanet.net gave Vernon—Lake Country—Monashee MP Scott Anderson a blank cheque to present unchallenged, uninformed opinion. Then again, Anderson is a vet, right Castanet? (He is a CAF Reserve armoured unit veteran). #CdnPoli 🇨🇦

MP Scott Anderson's analysis; Castanet omits informative context. Anderson does indeed have a scientific opinion: the ostriches are "scientifically valuable" (as per Oz and Kennedy). CFIA scientists are not qualified as CFIA procedures "need a second look by *qualified* scientists." #VernonBC

Great. Supercharging local media misinformation, Canada's professional disinformation network is gearing up to support local MP Scott Anderson's anti-CFIA/anti-science campaign, citing "International health officials such as Dr. Mehmet Oz." This is going to get ugly. #VernonBC.

As a livestock farmer of 50 yrs. I respect CFIA decision as the right one. Too many Dr. Oz s and MP Andersons jumping in just for publicity

The farmers will be compensated for the $3000 each for the ostriches. It's no one else's fault that they spent so much money fighting the order.

I don't know if you watched Hanomansing Tonight last night, but they had a wonderful expert virologist on who explained it all very logically and scientifically...and basically said those people are all wrong, Dr. Oz is wrong, & she laid out a cut-and-dried case for why the birds need to be culled.

🤔 Why. Does Oz’s statement bring back memories of Wuhan, China’s wet market and a pandemic?!
