Not only has the hot and dry summer hurt his crops, but CERB has made it nearly impossible to find workers \u2014 why would anyone bother with manual labour when the government pays people $2,000 every month to watch Netflix on their couch? <strong>To add insult to injury, last week Scott received a not-so-friendly visit from the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).<\/strong> <br><br>Was Scott involved in some sort of dangerous criminal activity? Certainly not. He drew the ire of law enforcement for the insidious act of letting people pick apples from his orchard \u2014 I guess. No one really knows. <br><br><strong>According to Scott, the police felt he \u201cmight\u201d be in violation of Ontario\u2019s new COVID-19 rules.<\/strong> Allegedly, some 200 people were on Scott&#8217;s 50-acre farm \u2014 a \u201ccrime&#8221; that gave the OPP no choice but to immediately investigate and<strong> threaten Scott with a $100,000 fine!<\/strong> <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rebelnews.com\/ontario_police_target_u-pick_apple_farmer_threaten_100_000_social_distancing_fine?e=5045b662f03737f70cfc320ff61dca55&amp;utm_source=therebel&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=dm_appleorchard_92420&amp;n=9\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Click here<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0for my full report. <br><br> To add to the insanity, the cops also took issue with Scott not sanitizing an antique tractor after a child touched it.\u00a0 The odds of an outbreak happening on Scott\u2019s farm rather than a Walmart or Costco (or any of those infamous tent cities we\u2019ve been to) is enough to make even the most degenerate gambler think twice. <br><br><strong>This is a direct dereliction of duty by the OPP.<\/strong> How can they enforce the law if they don\u2019t even know it? If you\u2019re in the business of harassing a farmer, you better damn well know the law! Thanks to this pandemic, governments are making farmers, entrepreneurs, and minimum wage workers facilitators of the nanny state. But people like Scott are not law enforcement, that\u2019s not their job \u2014 so why are they being forced to do it?<br><br> Yours truly,\u00a0 David Menzies\u00a0 <br><br>P.S. <em>Rebel News<\/em> is helping ordinary Canadians fight bogus social distancing tickets.
