In March, every Canadian province and territory declared some kind of state of emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Public spaces across the country were closed and gatherings were restricted. In some provinces, public health recommendations became legally-enforceable with significant fines attached. A new report looks at some of the results of that enforcement effort. We speak with Abby Deshman, co-author of the report and Criminal Justice Program Director with the Canadian Civil Liberties Association.
