Amish give back to food bank after fighting ArriveCan fines

Bullied by the government, these persecuted people responded with love and generosity.

In stark contrast to the government's bullying, the Amish contribute positively to the community by assisting a local food bank.

The Amish, though separate from the church, announced in court a donation close to their heart, a gesture of goodwill and solidarity with the non-Amish community.

They're not rich people. Their farms are still run on man and animal power. But they made donations from the heart—pickles, jams, quilts—and they selected this Salvation Army food bank to be the recipient of their generosity.

Bullied by the government, these persecuted people responded with love and generosity.

Remember Trudeau's ArriveCan app? This $63 million privacy-violating malware, commissioned from his cronies, was mandatory for Canadian entry. For the Amish community, it was completely impractical.

The Amish reject modern conveniences like cars, phones, and electricity. Asking an Amish person to download the ArriveCan app on a smartphone is an absurd request.

For their troubles, the Amish faced $6,000 fines for not completing forms.

Unfamiliar with legal processes, the Amish unwittingly consented to massive fines—hundreds of thousands of dollars—by not contesting tickets. The government then placed liens on their homes and farms, preventing sales, bequests, or loans against the properties, a precursor to expropriation to cover the fines.

The Democracy Fund aided over a thousand with ArriveCan app fines; this is their sole reported instance of government property liens.

HELP THE AMISH

A small, peaceful Amish community in Ontario was hit with hundreds of thousands of dollars in COVID fines because they didn’t comply with the government’s ArriveCAN app — an app they had no way to use, on phones they don’t own. Most never even knew they’d been convicted until liens appeared on their farms. Your donations are working: The Democracy Fund has identified 32 affected families, and 24 have now had their fines stayed or zeroed out entirely. But eight families were refused, and their appeal is now before the Ontario Court of Justice. One family alone still owes $13,000 plus interest — a devastating sum for people who live on subsistence farming and the cash sale of homemade jams, pickles and quilts. Please chip in right here to fund their legal defence. Your donation goes directly to legal representation to fight these unjust fines. (The Democracy Fund is a registered Canadian charity, so you’ll receive a tax receipt for your contribution!)

    What true Christian love. Christ said to love your enemies and feed them. That’s what these Amish just did, though not directly. Of course our misleading leaders won’t understand.
