April 19, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – In an unprecedented move, police forces across the province of Ontario spoke out publicly against Premier Doug Ford’s most recent Emergency Order extension.

The Toronto Sun reported that more than 15 police jurisdictions released statements saying they would not comply with Ford’s announcement that officers would conduct random checks on people driving. The police response was so strong that Ford was forced to back down.  

Ford’s new restrictions, effective April 17, gave police the power to stop vehicles at random to demand individuals provide his or her home address and state the purpose for being out and not at home. The new order restricted travel outside of the province, travel outside home for “non-essential” purpose, and for virtually any gatherings. 

The unexpected response from police caused Ford to re-examine the measures and on Saturday, the province amended its measures so that police authority to stop vehicles is granted only if there is suspicion people would be attending a large gathering.
