Raw milk advocate charged over Site 41 protest

Pair chain themselves to gate
From The Barrie Examiner

Two people arrested for chaining themselves to a gate at the North Simcoe Landfill, formerly called Site 41, are in a Barrie bail court today.

Michael Schmidt, 55, of Durham, and 29-year-old Andrea Barbuto, of Mississauga, chained themselves to Gate 2 at the Tiny Township site on Monday.

They were charged with mischief and fail to comply with an undertaking.

Schmidt is a well-known raw milk advocate.

    When politicians do the public’s business behind closed doors; people will chain themselves to gates etc.

    Well the officers are trying to keep me down
    Trying to drive me underground
    And they think that they have got the battle won
    I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they’ve done

    So as sure as the sun will shine
    I’m gonna get my share now of what’s mine
    And then the harder they come the harder they’ll fall, one and all

    And I keep on fighting for the things I want
    Though I know that when you’re dead you can’t
    But I’d rather be a free man in my grave
    Than living as a puppet or a slave

    Wow..that’s a beautiful poem. Very moving.

    Does anyone know whether Michael Schmidt and his partner have been charged or released or are in jail?
