Ontario tightens restrictions, gives police new powers amid dire COVID predictions (msn.com)

To enforce the measures, police and bylaw officers will now be able to stop motorists and pedestrians to ask them where they live and why they’re not at home.

The new police measures drew immediate condemnation from civil liberties activists.

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association said granting police the authority to stop and question anyone at random risks a “rash of racial profiling.”

“Random police stops during COVID are unconstitutional, presuming those outdoors or driving to be guilty,” said Michael Bryant, head of the CCLA.
