A group of Amish families in Ontario have won a legal battle against the Canadian government after being slapped with nearly $300,000 in COVID-related fines—simply for refusing to use a smartphone app they’re religiously forbidden to touch.
Relying on horse-drawn buggies and living without electricity, the Amish were hit with massive fines for not using the controversial ArriveCAN app while crossing the U.S.-Canada border during the pandemic.
When they couldn’t pay, the Canadian government placed liens on their farms—jeopardizing their livelihoods over tech they’ve never used and don’t believe in.

The unpaid fines led to liens being placed against their properties, putting their generational land at risk—until TDF’s intervention reopened their cases in early February, leading to this decisive legal win.
“This is a victory for fairness,” said Adam Blake-Gallipeau, Senior Litigation Counsel at TDF, who represented the Amish families in court.
“These families should never have been put in a position where their land and livelihoods were threatened. The Elders in the Amish community are deeply grateful for the support from TDF donors and the wider Canadian community.”
The organization continues to advocate for other Amish clients still facing legal battles due to pandemic-era mandates, standing firm against government overreach and the erosion of constitutional rights.
Founded in 2021, The Democracy Fund (TDF) is a Canadian charity dedicated to defending constitutional rights, promoting education, and supporting those impacted by government policies.
