So what if the lady was telling the truth about how the chips hit the deck

Then the council will say, "oops. these things happen, sorry for the inconvenience ma'am"

Lee, this isn't about a poor lady dropping a couple of French fries eaten by a flying rat, nor about a bunch of bearded guys in funny hats driving a horse drawn wagon without a cell phone ap. 

It is about the shoddy, sensationalist journalism we must rely upon to get our news.

There is something fishy about this Amish thing. I could tell by the tone of the article that it was not an objective news item. So I looked them up and it seems "rebelnews" is a far-right outfit with an axe to grind. Try as I might I could not find any other news articles about this incident. In fact when I googled about it, Lee's post was even listed, nothing else.

So even though I am a right-of-center type guy myself, I am not going to get outraged until some unbiased information comes out.

I hope that you are not holding your breath while waiting.  What is called "News" organizations are just propaganda machines owned by the big corps.

The fact that failing to use the ArriveCan app is not a fineable offense tells you something about the single source of this 'news'.

Using ArriveCAN is not required, but

to save time at the border, you can use Advance Declaration in ArriveCAN to submit your customs and immigration declaration before flying into Canada

As we weren't there, how can you assume that she is lying about the wayward fried potatoes?

After extensive online and law library research the truth revealed itself. They were "french" fries, what more do you need to know?
