2025-05-15 to Premier David Eby regarding the Killing of the Ostriches
PO Box 9041
Stn Provincial Government
Victoria, BC V8W 9E1
B.C. Premier David Eby said the province has been frustrated by the actions of the CFIA, . . .
“I hope the federal government looks very carefully at appropriate compensation to ensure they’re made whole, and not that that can fill in for the massive loss that they’ve seen,” Eby said . . .
The federal court ruling said the family could be compensated to a maximum of $3,000 for each bird.

REQUEST to B.C. Premier David Eby:
- Could you please explain to me how any of the process makes sense? I can make sense of it, but only if I frame the ostrich farm events as a deliberate attempt to protect Industry interests and control, at the expense of the interests of Canadians.
I read both sides of the argument.
I have a specific interest in INNOVATION. What you are all doing is making it impossible for innovation to thrive, unless it’s government-funded. Which I view as a huge drag on an economy, which is a way to create poverty.
- Do you realize that ALL of the larger picture, from compensation for producers that might be paid, to room at the landfill to dispose of the carcasses, to protestors and communications, and all the operational costs, including policing and courts, I will help to pay for. And why? Because the Governments are protecting industry interests. Costs are mostly transferred to the public to pay for, because the Government isn’t doing its part.
Don’t you think that this might all come home to roost? (Frankly, I think that’s already started. People are fed up. But maybe I’m wrong.)
I am writing because I believe that it’s unfair not to tell you the truth. If I was you, I’d want someone to tell me.
