Crown to withdraw all charges against army major who butchered a pig with a friend

Guilty? In a Pig’s Eye—Act 2



When Mark Tijssen arrived home from work this afternoon, there was a surprise waiting for him in a courier envelope. With no reason given, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources will be raising a motion in Ottawa’s Elgin Street courthouse at 09:00 on December 6, 2011 to withdraw all charges against the army major. Too bad he can’t be there - Tijssen is on duty in Kingston the rest of this week.

Tijssen predicts that that the MNR may be surprised to find that the matter cannot be done away with this easily. Two years of leisure time with his sons can never be replaced, a 26 year career stalled, legislation that still requires amendment and then the little matter of records and photos of children taken during an illegal stake-out. It may well transpire that the resources wasted thus far in this scurrilous prosecution are the tip of the iceberg. Tijssen is extremely grateful to the Ontario Landowners Association who have supported him vociferously during his ordeal as well as to Michael Schmidt, the Durham food-choice advocate who was relentlessly prosecuted by the same MNR Crown attorney. He also has very fond words to say for the Canadian Constitution Foundation, who have quietly pointed him in the right direction over the last two years - “Defending yourself is a very rewarding experience, but it is also terrifying. The butterflies in my stomach every time I have appeared in court have been incredible. Without the support of my friends, new and old, I would have had little option but to tell a lie, plead guilty and accept the $1000 fine that I was offered.” Note that Tijssen will still be facing $100,000 in fines until the charges against him are officially withdrawn.
