After months of legal battles, the ostriches are dead.

RFK Jr, Dr Oz, Rebel Media, and a motley crew of protestors rallied to save a flock of B.C. ostriches who had contracted avian flu and were subsequently ordered to be culled.

What can the story of the ostriches tell us about the loss of public trust, the knock-on effects of COVID, and the horseshoe theory of politics?

There’s chaos in Ottawa! Green Party leader Elizabeth May doesn’t want to ruin Christmas with an election… but she says she will if Mark Carney doesn’t budge. And in B.C., a court ruling is throwing private property rights —and maybe even Canada’s map — into question. Host Noor gets the story from The Tyee’s Andrew MacLeod.

Picture yourself driving north of Toronto into big-box suburban territory. You turn off into a little industrial parkade. There's a Keg, a Moxies, and then a stubby beige office building, six storeys high. In a fifth floor suite you will find Canso Investment Counsel Limited. Canso might be the most powerful media company that we have never talked about here at Canadaland.

And they may be one of the few companies in Canada that is still making serious money off of Canadian news companies. Who are they? Why do they keep bailing out dying Canadian legacy news companies? What do they expect in return? And what does it all mean for the news?
