Where is that the first rule? Nazi germany?
And it is no defense to say, well, the situation is unprecedented and temporary cause that's how it always starts. I'm obviously on record as supporting a lot of the government actions as necessary risk mitigation but in the midst of that some very dangerous stuff is happening and we need to guard against it.

do we go back to normal before the second wave? Or are we just on lockdown for the next 12 months? That's the question. Trudeau says we don't go back to normal until we have a vaccine. I think that's wishful thinking.

The cop told him to go home and he started arguing. First rule is don't argue with cops. That's when he issued the ticket.
He asked a question.
Last I checked, we're still allowed to ask reasonable questions, although that right seems to have been somewhat eroded.
Dad just needed to ask, "aren't we allowed to be here as a family unit, who are we hurting"
Cop just needed to reply, this parking lot is off limits and the business is closed.
End of altercation.
That Community Centre has a huge empty parking lot and there was no harm being done. Dad and kids could have legally been roller blading right there down 3rd Line or Upper Middle in traffic. Better?
Bylaw Bob was a dick and sounds like he was fed up with people giving him lip. This Dad and his kids weren't.
"On Friday, Todd Nelson took his sons Liam, Brandon and Dustin to the parking lot of Glen Abbey Community Centre to go rollerblading, he said — but after about 45 minutes, a bylaw officer pulled up and told them they had to go.“I kind of looked around. There was nobody near us. The whole parking lot was completely empty.â€â€œI just said, ‘Who are we hurting?’ He said, ‘Oh, you’re not going to be like that, are you?’ And I said, ‘I’m just asking a question,’ Nelson said. “And that was it. He said, ‘Give me your ID’, and next thing you know we got a ticket.â€

It has been: "Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act" .....ie your rights are now suspended.

Plus I'm surprised the cop didn't give the dad a $100K fine with a year of prison. I mean he was using roller blades. Could be used as a weapon.

I'm no lawyer but a quick review of that act and it's pretty prone to interpretation:

Bylaw Bob should have determined these were his kids and said "good job, thanks for doing your part by correctly social distancing....."

When people say that kind of stuff could never, ever happen in the West, all you have to do is take a look at what the police are doing right now and how many people not only see nothing wrong with it but actively cheer it on. Pay attention to who those people are cause I guarantee you know some of them. Also, keep in mind that this kind of aggressive policing happens all the time in communities that the politicians and media ignore. It's not a big stretch to expand it to everyone.

I'm on the fence on this one. On the one hand, we should protect our right to freedom of movement to the death. On the other hand, freedom of movement is contributing to our death. Are there going to be bad apples when it comes to enforcement? Of course. But the fact that we can highlight it, debate it, publicly shame it & correct it, shows that our system is working. Let's not get all dramatic here and pretend that a grouchy cop having a bad day is leading us directly on the path to North Korea.
We just as a free western democracy have to separate the issue between measures that are understandable and helping to control the virus vs overstepping of power that is trying to control things that are a clear removal of freedoms..
To me playing in a park, going fishing, walking with your significant other, jogging in the park should be considered completely fine. I wouldn't consider this to be a controversial statement but from what im seeing it seems like a pretty 50/50 split in the general public. The joy which some are getting in cheering on draconian measure is what scares me and IMO opinion is a completely separate issue from social distancing, not having large events and taking preventive measures
The social distancing is T.S.A check points and background checks at airports.
The public shaming and outlawing of being active is the patriot act and we have to be careful because it was too late before the general public realized what the patriot act really wasTo be the champs you got to beat the champs

This is where I think you're mis-interpreting the intent. It's not joy to keep these measures going, it's that people just want to get this effing thing over with as fast as possible..... like yesterday. And they think that if EVERYBODY goes hard-core into self isolation and other measures, then we can ALL get back to the new normal faster. What you're seeing is just a byproduct of people getting majorly pissed off at the people who they perceive still aren't taking things seriously and contributing to the spread and the disease lingering longer than it could/should.
I also dont necessarily agree that if we go into hard core self isolation the virus is going is disappear. It's still going to be out there people have to get grocerys etc. The virus has a resievour in our population now. It isn't going away. People can sit inside until September only to come out and the infections sky rocket once again. No one is saying that the virus will disappear, we passed that point already. Its now a part of our regular cycle of sicknessLast edited by bertarapsfan; Mon Apr 13, 2020, 04:59 PM.To be the champs you got to beat the champs
