A Canadian farmer that provides raw milk to his community was reportedly arrested and jailed for removing government surveillance cameras from his own property. The Canadian government is filing charges against the man for ‘theft.’
When Michael Schmidt found cameras on his land that had been spying on him and his friends, he simply removed them and contacted the local police department to find out who they might belong to. It was at this time that he was charged with theft after refusing to hand the cameras over to the police.
Only later did Schmidt find out that the cameras, which had no markings or identification, were placed there by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) to keep an eye on Glencolton Farms.
On September 30, 2015 Schmidt was slapped with a summons to appear for fingerprinting and a mug shot. He has been harassed by government food authorities before. He has been producing raw milk for over 21 years for a member’s food club.

In 2004, Schmidt underwent multiple raids. The Ontario government charged him with violating provincial prohibitions on raw milk sale, but later he was acquitted. The government appealed and Schmidt ended up having to sell his farm to the people in his club and could only continue business as a hired ‘manager’ for his own farm.
He is certain that the latest video camera intrusion is a form of revenge. His club members stood their ground and wouldn’t let government officials seize equipment or leave with product when a second raid occurred just weeks later.
Schmidt was released from an overnight stay in jail on October 20, 2015, but he feels the government is using the judicial system to harass a peaceful farmer. The Canadian Constitution Foundation is raising funds to help Schmidt with legal expenses.
Marta Bak, a co-owner of Glencolton Farms said:
“We will continue to peacefully procure the foods of our choice from the farmers of our choice. This food comes from our farm. We are now in the mode of total non-compliance to government harassment. We will peacefully resist in defense of our food–whatever it will take to demonstrate our inherent right to choose the food we wish to consume.”

They should punish this clown to the full extent!!!
For what?
your the one who should be punished for your lies and disinfo shill boy.
The only lies I have seen are from people like you.
Who do you work for? If you are really so sure of what you believe in why do you hide behind anonymity?
Self employed pal. As for my name, I’m no different than most of the people on here.
A student is considered self employed?
Who is a student? Maybe a student of life and still learning new things like gmos which are way beyond your iq level there moron.
you calling someone a moron now that was funny.
Not as funny as you look.
Stinky acts like he hasn’t been away from Saturday morning cartoons for more than a month, lmao.
Go back to school and leave the leadership up to the professionals.
The only leadership you have ever known is whatever your mommy says.
That really hurts, especially coming from someone who never left their hometown, lmao.
You never left the basement. Nothing wrong with tradition and improving what former generations started. You on the other hand want to destroy what our forefathers created. You mock the ones that defended us as well, all from behind mommies back.
Hilarious, you couldn’t even answer questions about the Constitution, you placed corporate rights above the people, lmao.
I truly hope nobody falls for your bs.
Again you will do or say anything…
I did answer just not in the way to play your sick little game there fake vet moron. Oh by the way all you have to do is to prove to the public you are a vet and I would be more than happy to apologize. Don’t give us the crap about not having clearance. Vets are proud and will easily prove they actually served.
By providing their personal information to the general public, lmao.
You should start by posting your personal information first, just to prove there is nothing to worry about.
I’m a Bronze Star recipient, if that’s a false allegation, please come get me, I’ll be waiting.
I would be more than happy to if I actually would have claimed to be a proud protector of this land. Why just the Bronze Star? If you are going to lie go for the gusto and tell us you got a Medal of Honor (or in your case dishonor)
Actually, if I was going to lie I would have made claim to a Silver Star Medal.
But I was awarded the Bronze Star Medal, so I have no claim to anything else.
Don’t forget, those who serve any Nation are very close, you insult one you insult all…
I haven’t insulted any, only one that lies about it — YOU!! You should really be ashamed for making fun of the real heroes by claiming to be one.
You’ll have to prove that one Stinky.
Your not qualified to even have an opinion about those who serve any Nation by putting their lives on the live.
You will see a web page with letters, I see friends,

RIP my friends and Family, we got this from here.

While you sit there talking all of your crap, remember that…
More of your lies still don’t make it true. You should be ashamed.
I am very proud, That’s why I’m here.
Proud of lies and wanting to overthrow the government, now there is something to be proud of.
I never registered to vote, so I have never been involved in the electorate process, or as you call it “over throwing the Government.”
Yes not participating in your government is yet another sign you don’t agree with America.
LMAO, your a total idiot.
My paperwork says, HONORABLE.
Your says paid troll.
Post it and I will even apologize (if it is true that is).
Yes, as soon as you post your full name and address, I would like to take a road trip.
I’ll show it to you in person, I insist.
Now, now do you really think your mommy would drive you all that way?
must be jealous…..LOL ladies must like it as I have no trouble getting girl friends.
Yes even the fat ugly ones need loving.
Go for it if it turns your crank…….. the pick is over ten yrs old btw.
I have met a lot of very nice folks, they have the character to go beyond looks, the true heart is within. Just another example of the lows the pro GMO activists will stoop to in defense of their agenda.
At least we don’t advocate breaking the law like you do. I guess you should expect that from any fake vet who wants to overthrow the government.
All I see is you squawking and zero evidence. Of course that is understandable since there is none.
I bet hes jewish.How dare we drink milk that isnt tampered with!
Is it kosher?
Youre a shit cunt antisemite.
I do not have an Auntie named Semite so I dont know what the hell you are talking about.
😛
And I dont speak english.
Shaddup you smelly K*ke.
Punished for what? Who are “they” that’s going to do the punishing?
“to the full extent!!!” What is the full extent?
This is about milk, right?
Come on people. Can’t you tell when a saboteur comes on line? GMO Roberts is only here to divert readers from staying on point; do free people have a Right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. If we do, do we have a Right to drink raw milk? Forget about GMO Roberts. He is only an Internet troller…

Freedom is becoming more and more rare on Planet Earth. Big government is taking over all countries.
if government says it’s bad for you it probably isn’t, or my favorite “It’s for your safety ” … or “protection” … lol
Although the farmer might be a hero to some in challenging authority, he is actually saving cost of safe process, unfairly competing & putting people at risk. Raw milk contains potentially harmful germs (listed below) that make people
sick & infants, elderly, pregnant women & others with existing
problems are more vulnerable to sickness. In 3 years 2,384 illnesses,
284 hospitalizations, & 2 deaths. At least he has got his wish expressed in the sign above. When we don’t respect the rules that we don’t like, then we can’t expect others to respect the rules we ourselves need. Get these diseases for afters:- Brucella,
Campylobacter, Listeria, Mycobacterium bovis, Salmonella, Shiga
toxin-producing E. coli, Shigella, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Yersinia
enterocolitica.
Raw milk contains potentially harmful germs, yes… but has much more vitamins and healthy bacteria, as long as time/temperature abuse is avoided it is generaly fine. (Pasteurized milk has much less good stuff than most people think.. almost like drinking water…)
Then there are cases against him for these listed diseases?
Most regulations concerning milk were created because of the industry practices, not the small community farmers.
He sounds jewish.How dare we consume milk that isnt poisoned!
You’re a total moron. I’ve been drinking raw milk for years, as have my friends, eating raw cheese and gasp, not once have we been sick. Factory farm milk has 10 THOUSAND times the fecal contamination of raw milk and most organic milk. You are just spreading BS and lies. Thing about your stupid “rules” as you call them, that means the government can use violent, deadly force, murder and coercion to get their way and stop people from drinking milk. That’s what you support. Now tell is again, who are the ones being lawless? Who are the real criminals here? The farmer or the government? Raw milk also has all the beneficial stuff that pasteurization destroys. You statistics are also lies and uncited.
Sovereign people live by Unalienable Rights given to them by their Creator as found in the Declaration of Independence. These Rights can never be taken away. They are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. These people have taken the red pill as shown in the movie the Matrix. They are fully aware, conscious and in control of their destiny. They are sovereign and know it.
Enslaved people live by Inalienable Rights given to them by their despot government as found in the Constitution. These Rights can be repealed, revoked and usurped. They are found in the first ten Amendments under the Bill of Rights. These people have taken the blue pill. They believe they are free as they seek a birth certificate, social security privileges, driver’s, business and marriage licenses, welfare and more. They do NOT realize they have consented to waiving their Rights for privileges. They drive vehicles when they could have traveled in their property. They do NOT know that a driver’s license is only mandatory if you use the public highways for profit or gain in a regulated commercial enterprise.
A vehicle must be registered with the State. This converts their property into a rental for without a registration tag on your vehicle, the state will tow their car away. They buy homes and rent them from the county through property taxes. They acquire permits (permission) from their public servants relinquishing their sovereignty. This farmer has forfeited his Rights for privileges and is now suffering the consequences of his actions. It’s time will all take the red pill.
Dr. James Chappell,
Peaceful resistance is getting old. If they violently attack over raw milk, violently resist. They will start to think twice about their precious government job, going around pointing guns at people over milk and plants.
