Police crash 18th Birthday Party and Issue $1,300 fine over 10-person gathering

 
 
 
Celebrating your 18th birthday with close friends is something most of us did to commemorate our coming of age in Canada. An 18 year old young man from Manitoba had a socially distanced indoor birthday party to celebrate his adulthood with a handful of his friends which was against the current provincial public health orders in that province. Police were allegedly called by an anonymous tipster and fined this young man almost $1,300 for celebrating inside his father’s private workshop.
 
Day after day and story after story, there are new examples of police across Canada being put in the difficult position of balancing the provincial public health mandates and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. No police officer from across this great country can feel good about issuing a $1,300 ticket to a young man simply celebrating his 18th birthday with some good friends.
 
Does the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which applies to all Federal and Provincial laws, and Municipal By-Laws, stand in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic?
It is safe to say that Canadians are in uncharted territory, and that includes our police.
