I'm with you on that also. I give a fictitious name and phone number whenever asked for tracing purposes (ie restaurant). They can stick where the sun doesn't shine. I will not wear a mask and I will walk into places that say I have to wear a mask without a mask. If I get a hassle, I will go else where or do without.
Same here no masks, no tracing, no truth on who my name is when I am in a restaurant.

Any body else see this? I sure didn’t. Just heard about it mostly from the people that didn’t leave their homes. We also had 4 trucks driving around edmonton everyday working. Can’t give tickets if there is no actual law!

Photo radar was still at every overpass. All the cops Cars still had 2 officers inside with no masks, don’t think they live together.
Was just cops in unmarked vehicles watching on yellowhead, henday and south end calgary trail hughway 2. They were sitting eyeing up vehicles they figured were "breaking the rules" by having 2 non household members in a vehicle. Was told by friends who are in uniform to watch out for them, not all agree with whats going on. Wasnt typical check stops like booze ones more like stop and checks.

[h=2]Turns out my 3 cohorts are sledders.
What is meant by limiting yourself to 3 cohorts?[/h][FONT=&quot]Hinshaw says people in Calgary and Edmonton should confine their engagement with other people to three cohorts. She explained those cohorts could break down as follows:[/FONT]

  • A core cohort made up of the household "and a small group of people with whom you've exclusively agreed to gather."
  • A school cohort.
  • And one additional sport, social or other cohort.
[FONT=&quot]She says young children in child care can safely be part of four cohorts because child-care cohorts have not been shown to be at a high risk for spreading the virus. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Child-care program cohorts can consist of up to 30 children and staff, sports teams can consist of in-region cohorts of up to 50 players and staff if the sport doesn't allow players to keep two metres apart, and performers can have a cohort of up to 50 cast members, performers and crew.

I’m personally disappointed with mankind. When they first locked us down it was very important will listen, flatten the curve blah blah blah. That was the story. 99.9 of us listened and complied for the greater good Now very very very little death and we’re talking about lockdown again and most of the people on the planet think that’s best. I’m embarrassed to be human. It’s clearly manageable. It’s clearly possible to protect the weak And treatments are coming. Yet every day all you hear cases rise in cases rising emergency measures not working. New keywords for fear. There’s a new one for lockdown since it sounded so harsh. Now they call it a hard reset LOL
All are selling us this fear. That’s all I know it’s ****ing bull****. I betting you Covid doesn’t even exist

Media has cried wolf for so long people are not scared like they were in April it’s almost like people are using there heads. Regardless of what you think of daily cases masks sanitizer ect there is one number recently that’s real. Hospitalizations specifically critical care ICU numbers are way up it’s a system that’s generally overloaded to begin with. If they do nothing the low hanging fruit start getting picked off if they go back to lockdown it’s like chopping down the whole tree. If you were the decision maker what would you do???? Let it run its course survival of the fittest majority of us would be fine no doubt venerable die off but what happens if little Johnny breaks his leg during a run on the system and can’t get a surgery floors are closed for surge control. The ladder is a heavy restrictions like we had in April economic devastation mental breakdowns of many sane people struggling with wondering wtf we’re going to do if our business, job way to make a living stops but it keeps the most venerable safe? For now I can somewhat appreciate something in the middle like we have in Alberta for now. Kenny is running into the wind though he’s got 400 doctors advocating a lockdown.

Personally i think it should run its course. Mankind’s gonna survive. For instance. Off shore fishing is more deadly. 128 killed out of 100,000 deep sea fishing. That’s more deadly than Covid. Imagine How many are injured permanently. Men line up to earn money even so.
Covid isn’t near as deadly as the politics around it.

Yep, the Atlantic bubble is a deal with the maritime provinces, you enter NB you do a check, you enter NS you do a check again.
Final destination, quarantine for 14 days.

Nobody enforces any of it. I travel far too much, was in New Brunswick late September. Was at meetings 12 hours after landing, roamed all over, left 4 days later, and the only person who said a word about my travels was the rental car agent, she asked me if I had a good trip, and got to enjoy the sights. Talk is cheap when the story is good. But people continue spreading false rumors. Most likely one mouthy guy pissed off a cop, and got himself a ticket. Instead of admitting that he is a jerk, said that it was some new fine for covid 19, and boom 30 people later telling the story, cops are running around handing out thousand dollar tickets all over the place. Sooner people stop spreading rumors, and let the pathetic stories die, the better. Want to know the truth about covid 19, ask a physician. Listening to rumors about this flu, makes no sense. Using the logical part of ones brain, will garner far better results, than using the emotional part.

[h=1]RCMP hand out nearly 10,000 COVID-19 tickets nationally (but Quebecers are fighting back)[/h]

RCMP_COVID_fines.jpg



The RCMP issued nearly 10,000 coronavirus fines in the first three months of the pandemic.
According to Blacklock’s Reporter:
“StatsCan in a study Police-Reported Crime Incidents March To June 2020 said the Mounties filed 9,509 charges for breach of “acts related to Covid-19”. The charges were not detailed.
“During the Covid-19 pandemic police along with bylaw and public health officers have been responsible for enforcing legislation related to containing the pandemic,” wrote staff. “They have included municipal bylaws, provincial and territorial emergency Health Acts and the federal Quarantine Act.”
The agency said twelve police departments outside Québec filed another 2,093 pandemic charges with the highest rate in Regina, a claim disputed by local authorities. Police-Reported Crime said Regina constables filed 583 pandemic charges – the city has a population of 229,000 – compared to 626 charges in Toronto with ten times the population, 44 charges in Calgary and 25 in Vancouver.
Regina police yesterday said the figures were inaccurate. “It’s my understanding we’ve only had one Covid violation that was charged... something seems wrong about those numbers.”
In April, a 23-year-old Regina woman was handed a $2,800 ticket for disobeying a public health order mandating self-isolation after travel or possible contact with COVID-19.
By June, the majority of the COVID-19 fines nationwide have been dished out in Quebec.
A report called “Stay off the Grass: COVID-19 and Law Enforcement in Canada” published by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, showed Quebec accounted for 77 per cent of the reported fines in the country, with Ontario accounting for 18% and Nova Scotia 3%.
Quebec also issued the costliest fines in the country.
However, Quebecers are contesting the fines being given to them.
According to a CBC report:
More than a third of the people who were ticketed for violating COVID-19 regulations are in the process of contesting them, provincial data shows.
According to statistics published by the Quebec Justice Ministry's office of offences and fines, more than 3,500 fines had been issued for violating public health regulations by Aug. 24, including for breaking the public health limits on gatherings.
But more than 1,200 of those fines, which range between $1,000 and $6,000, are in the process of being contested.
Rebel News is helping Canadians fight back, including a man who was ticketed for eating a muffin in his car in a Tim Horton’s parking lot in New Brunswick, a mom who was arrested, searched, and fined for letting her daughter play in an empty park in Ontario, and a pastor who was fined for feeding the homeless in inner-city Calgary.

Since a few rogue officers wrote tickets to get their monthly cash quota up, means nothing. Judges will toss them all out, so simply dispute them in court, as I suggested earlier. But I am willing to bet 99% who got tickets were also being jerks to the officer(s) and hence their tickets. In the past 10 years I've been issued 3 tickets, all 3 dismissed in court. The parking ticket wasn't even filled out with the proper street name. In court I asked for permission to speak freely for a moment, that was granted. Looking right at the parking ticket writer, I asked her if she was drunk or stoned while writing out my ticket. She looked straight down at her shoes, and wouldn't respond. Incorrect street name, wrong color of vehicle, and I was apparently parked there during a time when no parking was allowed. Yet the photo of the sign I took, clearly showed her ticket was issued in a time when parking was allowed. Should have been a lawyer, I believe that would have been more beneficial to people, than becoming a specialist.

Sounds like someone put their ticket on your vehicle. Happens all the time.

Ya and who the hell wants to go waste their time in court fighting a ticket?! I know my time is worth something so having to go to court is still probably costing me somehow. Doesn't matter if the ticket is legit or not.
