An Oakville man says Halton police made his young daughter cry as they cleared a crowd of tobogganers from an Oakville park on Saturday, Jan. 30.
Charbel Cheaib said his 11-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter had been cooped up inside all day so he and his wife decided to take them to Old Abbey Lane Park to enjoy some tobogganing.
At around 4 p.m., however, he said the fun came to an end when a Halton police officer arrived on the scene.
But wait! There’s a juxtapose!

There may be a perfectly reasonable explanation. Unfortunately, they won’t explain.
The new [Trudeau] rules weren’t even announced yet Thursday night, but it appears officials at YYC were ready.
“(My wife Nikki) arrived in Calgary tonight and when she got there she was greeted by a Police Officer and an AHS official,” wrote Pastor Chris Mathis on his Facebook page.
“They rejected her results and told her she needed to go immediately to an isolation facility. She was told if she resisted she would be arrested. She called me, and I immediately asked to talk with the officer. I talked with both a police officer and the AHS official, they reiterated what she had said to me. I asked for the address of where she would be, they said they could not give me the location address as it was confidential.
“I asked for their names, again they would not give me any information or their names. I pushed, I questioned, I tried to fight but they said they would arrest her if she resisted. They would not give me any information on where they were taking my wife.

I’m old enough to remember when this made you a xenophobe: PM Trudeau announces new travel restrictions
If Trudeau wanted to curb the spread of Covid, we’d be manufacturing saliva based rapid tests by the millions; they’d be available by mail order, in every pharmacy, in vending machines, at restaurants, at hospitals and LTC where every employee and visitor would be tested before entry.
They can be manufactured for a few dollars, they take 15 minutes for results. But no, we must submit to the same unimpeachable government doctors who have been utterly, confidently and authoritatively wrong on nearly every emerging question since this pandemic began.

For the second time in less than 24 hours, Montreal police (SPVM) officers intervened on Saturday morning to put an end to two major illegal gatherings in the Outremont borough of Montreal.
The SPVM reported being called on Saturday morning, around 9:30 a.m., to go to a “place of worship” located on Hutchison St., near Saint-Viateur St. in the predominantly Hasidic Jewish area of the city.
The police found that “dozens” of people were inside, said SPVM spokesperson Veronique Comtois.

HERE THERE BE TASERS: Premier Francois Legault announced a “shock therapy” of several new lockdown measures on Wednesday afternoon.
Your official government watchdogs welcome the “heavy police presence”.
Selley: Because governments can’t get their act together and some critical mass of citizens can’t or won’t take the precautions necessary not to spread and catch the virus, you can’t go for a healthy walk after 8 p.m. in Canada’s second-most-populous province unless you have a dog.

4. Here @CalgaryPolice, in the pandemic, no masks, taking a knee at a Black Lives Matter protest. Maybe it was that same cop who swore at & threatened to taser the hockey players. This is political policing, @nenshi-style. If you have the right politics, you won't be arrested. pic.twitter.com/ZBHiIjD31a

A flashback.
This is pretty disturbing. Viewer warning: Melbourne teenager is CHOKED UNCONCIOUS, thrown to floor for reportedly not wearing a mask..
Where is the international media on this and other equally egregious acts of Covid enforcement? Not black, not a criminal, not an American police officer, not a story.

You seem to enjoy this new role of comforting the comfortable while afflicting the afflicted.

THE COVID MEASURES ACT OF 2020: Police are authorized to demand proof of residency and if residents refuse entry, officers will be able to obtain warrants faster through a new, virtual system that was established in collaboration with the Crown, the premier said.
In what’s being called a “shocking” misuse of personal health information, Ontario police services made unauthorized searches of the province’s COVID-19 first-responder data portal — including querying entire postal codes to find active cases of the virus, according to documents obtained by two civil rights groups.
In a memo addressed to all police chiefs in June, Ontario’s Ministry of the Solicitor General said an audit of the COVID-19 database — a controversial and now-shuttered portal for first responders — revealed “many” searches violating the province’s directive that the tool be used cautiously and with precision.
The audit raised “concerns that the portal is being used beyond the express purpose that the government intends,” wrote Richard Stubbings, assistant deputy minister of the public safety division, in a June 11 letter.
Among the unauthorized searches listed: “broad-based” municipal searches with no specific address, including queries of postal codes or of another municipality, and searches of a specific name unrelated to an active call for service.
“I strongly urge police services boards and chiefs of police to ensure that access to this critical information is strictly for responding to a call for service,” Stubbings wrote.
The memo — obtained through a freedom of information request by the Canadian Constitution Foundation, a civil rights charity — is the latest problem stemming from a portal dubbed an “extraordinary” privacy invasion by human rights groups and deemed an unnecessary infringement by Ontario’s privacy commissioner.
“I was shocked when I read the extent of what appears to be abuse of that database,” Christine Van Geyn, litigation director with the CCF, said Wednesday.
“At the same time, when you look at what access was granted under that regulation … it’s not surprising that such a database was abused.”
The temporary portal was created via an emergency order in April, letting first responders including police officers access personal information such as names, addresses and birthdates of people who tested positive for COVID-19. The database was intended to be used solely by 911 operators and only for active calls, to aid efforts to limit the spread of the virus.
The province halted police access to the database in July, after a legal challenge filed by human rights groups including the Canadian Civil Liberties Association argued the portal was an unjustified invasion of privacy.
[…]
Data released as part of the CCLA’s lawsuit revealed Ontario police services searched the portal 95,000 times. While some services, including Toronto police, never accessed the portal, a handful of others made up the bulk of the queries.
Durham Regional Police and Thunder Bay Regional Police alone conducted 40 per cent of the searches, with nearly 25,000 and 14,000 searches respectively, according to the CCLA.
In a Sept. 1 report to its police services board, Durham police called the database “extremely unreliable,” saying that, in good faith, its staff adopted broad, “wild-card style” searches to glean results when more precise queries failed.
Heckofajob there, technocrats. Thanks to your efforts, the day is fast approaching when the majority of those who contract COVID will refuse to be tested at all.
They went from “flatten the curve” to “put your hands behind your back” so quickly we didn’t even notice.
