Follow the rules in place and most were good.

Watch the video in this news article ... were people closer than 6 ft? Were they speeding home?
The fishermen who reside outside of Port Hope were either ticketed or asked to leave ...

Retired officers can do as they want. If this coalition does include serving police officers who have identified themselves publicly the clock is ticking on their careers.

Buddy, you are so wrong, it's not funny. LET ME ASK YOU why did ALL municipal police divisions refuse to enforce the original version of the order, which stated they can stop anyone at anytime and demand identification and a reason for being outside of their home??

The active police, ALL of them, refused! WHY? Because they swear to uphold the constitution, and recognize that these laws are in violation of their oaths, and they were not going to do Doug Ford's dirty work!

The order allows for "exercise", it also does not prohibit being outside, it also does not prohibit travel.

Are you ASSUMING that fishing is not considered essential? OK then, if it is not considered essential, then WHY are the police in Port Hope allowing residents of Port Hope to fish? It either is essential or isn't to all.

This double standard does not have any place in the law ... it is wrong, and I hope the Town gets nailed for it.

There are two laws you should read then you might have a clearer understanding of how far reaching police and public health powers are under a declared state of emergency.

You still haven't answered my key question ... is fishing essential or non-essential?

I am fairly convinced (because I asked two or three times already), that I won't get an answer.

What is occurring in Port Hope isn't about fishing it's about people from outside the area visiting the region in contravention of public health and/or emergency management legislation during a state of emergency. It doesn't matter whether they are fishing or not.

Here's a link to a news article that explains it plus read the legislation.

Is fishing essential or non-essential? Say one or the other. Nothing else. Pick one.

The part on Pearson's website telling me when flights are leaving daily to the tropics and elsewhere.

No problem leaving my zone to jump on a jet to the tropics.

I've yet to see or hear of any passengers sent home or fined for defying "stay at home" order, and also for leaving their zone.

After all Justin said it would be racist to shutdown international air travel. So we as Canadians, Ontarians are free to travel, thanks to the Trudeau.

He's done his best to bring in all the variants, via open borders.

Doug can take his stay at home order and shove it, we are not a dictatorship.

Fishing isn't the issue. To the civic officials in Port Hope the issue is people coming from outside of the region to fish in waters controlled by the municipality.

Texas is wide open and put a stop to mandatory masking. Just the other day announced ZERO deaths from covid. 16000 fans at ufc no masks.
Florida wide open 15000 fan event three weeks ago.

Stay at home, makes no sense

Tell me. Have you ever gone over the speed limit??
