It's a delicate balance right now, properly enforcing Social Distancing Measures, police and bylaw officers doing the right thing but not going too far. It's a balance that needs to be struck, because if the law goes too far, if enforcement officers go too far and public support wanes, then public support will start to diminish.

00:00:00.000 it's a delicate balance right now properly enforcing social distancing
00:00:09.760 measures police and bylaw officers doing the right thing but not going too far
00:00:15.480 recent poll by Leger shows that the vast majority over 90% of Canadians support
00:00:21.240 the social distancing measures that are happening across this country wow that
00:00:25.320 is remarkable support levels no politicians ever seen any numbers like
00:00:28.620 this in this country it shows we're all in this together for now because if the
00:00:34.860 law goes too far if enforcement officers go too far public support well that's
00:00:40.260 gonna start to diminish there's been a couple stories that have left people
00:00:43.920 scratching their heads and being rather frustrated in the east end of Ottawa a
00:00:48.420 father took his young autistic son out to play in a field not a playground not a
00:00:54.180 baseball diamond not an official public park a grass patch sort of owned by the
00:00:59.460 city or what have you a piece of land looked around made sure there was no one
00:01:03.780 within 500 meters of him how many hockey stick lengths are that but still an
00:01:09.840 enforcement officer showed up wrote down that father's license plate number and
00:01:14.220 simply said to the guy $700 fine and got back in his car and drove away now the
00:01:18.900 man didn't receive a physical ticket and he's wondering what's gonna happen if he
00:01:22.560 actually gets one in the mail he's prepared to go to court to fight it but I
00:01:26.060 think we can all agree that's wrong let's be reasonable we cannot all stay
00:01:31.980 cooped up in little coffin sized spaces for the next few weeks the next few
00:01:37.200 months during this summer time when kids have to get exercise adults all of us we
00:01:41.940 need to go out and have a little bit of a walk so let's use our good judgment
00:01:46.260 here a rather sad story from the Montreal area there's a lady who had a
00:01:49.940 birthday and her friends wanted to surprise her because of course she
00:01:53.480 couldn't have a birthday party so what happened was that the friends drove up in
00:01:57.800 their cars one person per car rolled down their windows the cars were spaced
00:02:03.320 apart from each other and they sang happy birthday to the lady she watched from
00:02:08.120 her front door how far apart is a car to a front door I don't know 15 meters 20 0.89
00:02:12.940 meters something like that the cars drove on the enforcement officer comes by
00:02:17.740 later $1,500 fine for disturbing the peace really people really where are our
00:02:25.720 priorities and there are a lot of things going on that maybe should be more
00:02:28.900 enforced perhaps there can be directives to go after that not this cheap shot
00:02:34.940 low-hanging fruit quite frankly it's really frustrating to see people say oh no
00:02:38.800 those illegal border crossers we must protect them the most they are more 1.00
00:02:42.640 important now than ever and some people were actually dismayed to see Justin
00:02:46.180 Trudeau closing the Roxham Road border crossing we're hearing a lot of concerns
00:02:49.780 about inmates in prisons we've got to release them right away and so forth lots
00:02:53.980 of prioritizing for them for them to sort of have it easier but the otherwise
00:02:57.980 law-abiding middle-class the working Joe know we're gonna make life more and more
00:03:02.200 difficult for you even when you're doing something in the case of these
00:03:05.800 examples I gave that really isn't that big of a deal so yes we're all supporting
00:03:10.460 this we're all in this together but as the weeks continue as the weather gets
00:03:14.200 warmer a lot of people are gonna say come on guys let's just use our judgment
00:03:19.780 here
