Pay attention to problems at home

-

While Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland does her virtue signalling on Twitter regarding Saudi Arabia, is she aware that in Canada, dairy farmers who offer raw milk to Canadians that cannot digest pasteurize­d milk without becoming extremely sick are charged huge fines to adhere to outdated regulation­s — and if they refuse to cease and desist are charged with obstructio­n and put in jail?

Durham raw milk farmer Michael Schmidt spent time in Penetangui­shene’s maximum security jail in 2017 for this transgress­ion.

I was also charged for several related offences and was also threatened with jail time. In the meantime, Europe has thousands of raw milk vending machines. Michael Ilgert, Golden Lake
