Scenes from Quebec Saturday night paint a haunting picture of a
snow-covered province coming under a police state’s supposed
attempt of controlling a highly infectious virus, a task which
many
argue can not possibly be achieved through state sanctions on
personal freedom.
Saturday marked the first night of the Province’s new curfew
put in place by Premier Francois Legault that will punish those
outside their home for reasons unacceptable to the government
between the hours 8 p.m-5 a.m. Those in violation of the “public
sanitation order” will face fines up to $6,000 Canadian
(US$4,728).
Videos shared by Canadians on social media show police in
siren-blasting vehicles moving through neighborhoods as the curfew
came into effect.
“Police cars are driving through neighborhoods, sirens
blaring, scanning for dissidents to arrest. $6,000 fines – enough
to destroy families,” Rebel News’ Ezra Levant reported.

Quebec, Canada is now under police rule. Every night from 8 p.m. to
5 a.m. no-one is allowed onto the streets. Police cars are driving

“Another police car, siren blaring, driving through
residential neighborhoods with the sole purpose of terrifying the
public into submission. A far greater infringement of civil
liberties than the FLQ crisis 50 year ago,” Levant said.

Other videos report to show police pulling people over for being
outside of their homes after 8p.m.

Another video circulating shows a Quebecois being asked for his
personal documents and threatened with arrest for being outside
with his children.
Footage from a Quebec resident
shows police confronting him and his kid after curfew. After
showing the cop his papers, the officer slaps the recording phone
out of his hand and threaten him with arrest.This isn’t about “Public Safety” anymore, it’s about compliance.

Some residents decided to deliberately break the new rules by
marching in protest through a Montreal neighborhood.

After the province reported over 3,000 daily COVID-19 cases for
the first time ever this week, Premier Legault said a “shock
treatment” was needed to curb the virus’ spread.
“The situation is critical and a shock treatment is needed,”
Legault said Saturday. “Our hospitals are filling with COVID-19
patients. Hundreds of people are in intensive care, fighting for
their lives. Tens of people die every day.”
CTV News
reports that over 200 tickets were issued across the province
during the curfew’s first night with 17 tickets issued to
protesters and 84 tickets given for general non-compliance in
Montreal alone.
Under the new rules,
acceptable reasons for being outside include:
- People going to and coming from�work, or a work-related
activity. - Parents picking up teenagers from work.
- People going to or coming from an education activity at a
recognized school such as a night class or lab. - People who work in the transportation of goods sector.
- People who are providing necessary health services to someone
else, or attending the bedside of a sick family member.
The rather dystopic scenes from Saturday come after a viral
video spread on social media of Quebec police
busting an “illegal family gathering†on Dec. 31 at a home
in Gatineau.
Police would slap everyone in the home with $1,500 fines for
ignoring public safety health orders against gatherings.

Nighttime curfews have also been put into effect in recent
months in the Czech Republic, Portugal, Netherlands, Spain, Italy,
Greece, India, France, California, and Ohio.
