Canadian authorities (i.e., dictators) in Halifax announced Saturday that they issued 22 tickets for people in violation of the COVID-19 guidelines on gathering limitations in the provincial capital of Nova Scotia.
“Enforcement of these restrictions remains a vital part of the overall strategy to curb the pandemic,” the Halifax Regional Police said in a statement. “We must follow the rules and do our part to slow the spread of COVID-19 in our communities.” The restrictions will stay in place until 20 May.
The Halifax News reported that police responded to a report of a large social gathering that exceeded the province’s limit of five, which was put in place a day earlier. The limit includes both indoor and outdoor gatherings. The police issued a news release that urged residents to “educate and re-educate themselves” on these public health guidelines.
Some of the restrictions:
- Restaurants are closed to seated service;
- Barbershops and spas are closed, as are museums and libraries;
- Retail businesses and malls can only operate at 25-percent capacity;
- No social events, special events, festivals, arts/cultural events, sports events, faith gatherings, wedding receptions, or funeral visitation or receptions.
“We are using these restrictions as a circuit breaker to prevent our case count from increasing. We are taking quick action to limit the opportunity for the virus to spread any further in local communities,” Premier Iain Rankin said, according to CTV News.
TRENDPOST: Name the country, name the state and city. Whoever is in charge makes up draconian rules that lack a shred of scientific evidence to support them, which formerly free people must obey.
And while those in charge keep selling COVID Fear and Hysteria, never a word from the mainstream media questioning, “Why are these rules being imposed and enforced since the number of COVID alleged deaths are minuscule?”
In all of Nova Scotia, which has 971,000 residents, they have registered the grand total of 67 deaths since the COVID War was launched last year. That equals 0.0069 percent of the population who died from the virus.
Despite this tiny fraction – 0.00049 per month over 14 months – tens of thousands of lives and livelihoods in the province have been destroyed while liberty, love, joy, and beauty have been sucked out of life.
However, those protesting these ludicrous lockdown rules are beaten, fined, and ridiculed in their fight for freedom. According to the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedom, as of the end of last month, the survival rate of COVID in Nova Scotia was 99.99 percent, and no one under 60 years of age died from the virus.
