Milk violator Michael Schmidt fights on

No matter how a Newmarket court rules this month on charges that Michael Schmidt violated the Milk Act, the Canadian Constitution Foundation promises he won’t disappear.

The registered charity has taken up the cause of the raw milk proponent from north of the town of Durham in Grey County. If he loses, litigation director Karen Selick will seek an appeal. If he wins, the organization will seek to legalize distribution of raw milk to consumers who don’t want to own a cow.

The Canadian Constitution Foundation calls itself “an independent, non-profit organization whose mission is to defend the constitutional freedoms of Canadians through education, communication and litigation.”
