A dairy raid just took place on Michael Schmidt’s raw dairy farm in Canada. All eyes had been on Schmidt for years as he is a beloved farmer and food freedom activist who was constantly targeted by agents, along with Canadian sheep farmer Montana Jones.
Agents confiscated his items and started loading them onto trucks. The power of the people who arrived as soon as they heard, compelled agents to start unloading the items back onto his farm, preventing the would-be raid.

The power of peaceful accountability kept government theft at bay…
From The Bovine:
American raw milk activist Liz Reitzig posted the following on Facebook today at about 11:45 am:
URGENT: Michael Schmidt is getting raided right now! Agents are on the farm right now. Michael is requesting anyone who can please come to the farm immediately with video recording equipment. 393889 Concession 2 West Gray Durham, Ontario CA Please share. Very urgent!
Likewise, Montana Jones sounded a call to action (The Bovine):
Government typically raids on Fridays because it’s less likely to get into the news, and fewer people are on social media then—so get over there to stand beside him! It is 5 hours away for me and I am not allowed to see him except in lawyers presence due to our bail conditions. MAKE THIS NEWS and share!”
Reitzig says the agents present were: Ministry of Natural Resources, Ministry of Agriculture and Food, police, Regulatory Compliance Unit of Ontario, Ministry of Finance, Dairy Inspection branch working for the dairy farmers of Ontario.

She explains:
Michael Schmidt has a farm where multiple people own the farm and he milks the cows that provide the owners with fresh milk. He is being raided because, in Canada, raw milk is completely illegal and the “authorities” will stop at nothing to keep raw milk away from people who want it.

With so many eyes and recording devices, the agents could not do what appeared to be a calculated sting operation – they had no other choice but to leave and return the nearly stolen items.
The last update from Schmidt was seven minutes ago:
Farm share members are happy. Many pick up their milk
People power
We will update if new developments spring forth – blessings to all those that had a role in stopping this chaos.

It’s encouraging to see people gather around and prevent the confiscation of private property and abuse of .gov power. Sadly .gov is a tireless and implacable enemy of the people. They’ll be back….and back….and back again, all paid for by the money squeezed from those they bully and terrorize.
So glad to see friends and neighbors helping out .
We need to make serious changes with Health Canada.Make your vote count on October 19th.
