Re: Coronavirus
So what has changed here? From the article:
- All non-essential retail stores, including hardware stores, alcohol retailers, and those offering curbside pickup or delivery, must open no earlier than 7 a.m. and close no later than 8 p.m. The restricted hours of operation do not apply to stores that primarily sell food, pharmacies, gas stations, convenience stores, and restaurants for takeout or delivery.

Some getting tickets in Montreal because they got off work late and were out after curfew even though they had their employment authorization letters with them and apparently police are using the curfew stop to search persons and their property.

In 1970 when the FLQ crisis prompted Pierre Trudeau to bring in the War Measures Act, the Montreal police used the convenience of no-warrant arrest powers to haul in every mafioso they could find. It was like Christmas for them.

Masks, no gatherings, not meeting others, working from home, that's all understandable. However the virus doesn't stop or begin just because it's evening.
And what happens if your car breaks down, or if you get stuck in a traffic jam? Risking an accident or demerit points just to make it home before the curfew.
They might just operate as in "Stalag 13". Anybody who is out and about after lights out will be shot.
