Amish 'fined' $6000 per visit by Canada, Canada effectively bankrupts Amish farms

This is pretty insane.

But an example of how bureaucracy has run amok. I don't think there is any evil intent. But bureaucracy is an automatic injustice when a small group from society doesn't participate in electronic communications.

The guy getting interviewed is from a small independent news agency called REBEL NEWS.

The Amish don't use Smartphones.
The Amish don't use "apps" on the non-existent smartphone.
So the Amish don't have the 'ArriveCAN' app.
But Canada fined EACH of them, men/women/children, $6000 per transit each time they crossed the border.
This is bankrupting Amish communities.

A simple 5 minute video, it's part of a much longer video podcast by Canadian PHD Jordan B Petersen. Simply injustice. And fascinating to see how good intent of government can be so cruel.
