Sirens, Checkpoints, Protests: Scenes From Quebecâs First Night of Curfew
Published: January 10, 2021
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).
