OLA Denounces Police treatment of Canadian Soldier
(Ottawa) A member of Canada’s armed forces has become the victim of a bad law and bad policing, charges the Ontario Landowners Association. “Major Mark Tijssen, a major in the Canadian army and a resident of Carlsbad Springs, slaughtered a pig on his own property for his own consumption and now he and his friends are suffering police harassment” says OLA president Jack MacLaren.
MacLaren explains that after an anonymous complaint from a neighbour, police raided Major Tijssen’s home and seized his butchering equipment. “The police also interrogated Tijssen for over an hour and bullied his friends,” says MacLaren.
Charges have not been laid as of yet, but police are investigating Tijseen to ascertain if he violated the "Food Safety and Quality Act.
“This whole episode is ridiculous,” says MacLaren. “Major Tijssen’s actions didn’t harm anyone. He wasn’t going to sell the pork. Yet thanks to an anonymous tip, the police are treating him and his friends like dangerous criminals. That’s wrong.”MacLaren says his group has vowed to help Tijssen fight for his rights.
