In this explosive episode, Jason Lavigne speaks with Nicolas Hulscher about what may be one of the most shocking agricultural and scientific controversies in Canada — the CFIA’s push to destroy nearly 400 healthy ostriches at the Universal Ostrich Farm in Edgewood, BC.
The conversation goes far beyond headlines, exposing the possible gain-of-function origins of the H5N1 strain detected at the farm and its unusual genetic hybridization — the very kind of gene reassortment linked to laboratory manipulation. Nicolas and Jason examine how this revelation connects to global virology research networks and how the CFIA has refused to address these concerns while silencing independent experts.
They dig into the Federal Court’s narrow ruling, which upheld CFIA authority but ignored the opposing science — including Dr. Steven Pelech’s suppressed expert testimony. His research found 85% survival among the birds, confirmed antibodies to H5N1, and clear signs of natural immunity — evidence that contradicts the agency’s narrative and raises questions about what’s really behind the urgency to “stamp out” this flock.
Nicolas also shares first-hand accounts of the growing international attention from figures like Robert Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Oz, who have publicly called on Canada to preserve the flock for research rather than extermination.
Together, they confront the deeper issues: Was this strain engineered through gain-of-function activity? Why is CFIA blocking new testing? And what does this mean for the future of Canadian agriculture, transparency, and science?
Key Topics Covered:
- The gain-of-function origins and hybrid makeup of the H5N1 strain found at the farm
- CFIA’s refusal to allow third-party testing or independent oversight
- The Federal Court’s limited scope, focusing on authority over evidence
- Dr. Steven Pelech’s findings on antibodies, survival, and research value
- The financial and emotional cost to Katie Pasitney and her farm
- The U.S. administration’s and public figures’ calls to save the flock
- Why the “stamping-out” approach is scientifically outdated and morally wrong
This is not just about a farm — it’s about the intersection of science, government power, and public accountability in post-pandemic Canada.

Hi supporters,
It has been a long campaign and evening. Sadly, it appears that Team Lavigne won't be elected this time around.
We thank everyone who took the time to support us and got out to vote.
For the rest of the week, we are going to recharge, regroup, and get back to several projects that took a backseat to the campaign.
We'll be back next week ready to bring you even more shows, interviews, and truth.
Much love, God bless.

Enjoy the Conversation on Alberta Independence with Jeffrey Rath & Chris Scott — From the Live event in Drayton Valley!
Whistle Stop Cafe's Chris Scott and Alberta lawyer Jeffrey Rath, whose fiery new piece “ALBERTA WANTS OUT! An Open Letter to Danielle Smith” is sparking province-wide debate, were on stage for an uncensored, audience-driven discussion about whether Alberta should chart its course.
What’s in the Letter & Why It Matters
Leadership at a Crossroads: Rath says Premier Smith must remove Kenney-era ministers implicated in pandemic misfeasance or risk losing Albertans’ trust.
COVID Accountability Gap: There has been no public inquiry, no retroactive help for shuttered businesses, and no action on vaccine injury concerns.
“Team Alberta,” Not “Team Canada”: He slams Ottawa’s 25 % retaliatory tariffs and Smith’s support for making everything from trucks to tomatoes pricier in Alberta.
