Manufacturing Consent | Why Cloned Meat Is Being Pushed in Canada — Part 11 of 12

In this segment, Shawn Buckley explains that the push to introduce cloned meat into Canada goes far beyond labeling or consumer choice. He walks through how Health Canada quietly removed cloned meat from the “novel food” category, allowing it to enter the food supply without proof of safety. Shawn explains that regulators cannot allow a public debate on whether cloned meat should exist at all, because once it is widely consumed, it can no longer be meaningfully regulated or challenged. Shawn also outlines why cloned livestock is essential to the long-term strategies of biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, particularly their interest in using animals as platforms for biologics and other bioengineered products delivered through the food chain. He explains how this shift enables mass exposure or treatment without public knowledge or consent and why media focus on labeling serves as a deliberate distraction from these structural goals. He concludes by warning that once cloned meat is normalized, Canadians lose the opportunity to question its safety, ethics, or necessity.
