One retired couple received close to $25,000 in fines after a single U.S.-Canada border crossing for alleged failure to follow the Quarantine Act. “The fine amounts start at a mandatory $5,750 – that’s a mandatory minimum,”
On August 18, The Democracy Fund (TDF) announced that the Crown dropped nearly 300 Quarantine Act-related fines issued to 212 British Columbia citizens for allegedly violating the federal legislation.
Most of the cases defended by the TDF were Canadians fined for not following the Quarantine Act when they crossed into Canada between 2020 and 2022. The so-called violations included not showing a vaccine passport or valid PCR test at the border and failure to fill out the notorious ArriveCAN app.
