The government of Ontario wants police to start random stops of people on the street or in traffic to make them justify having left their homes during the stay-at-home rules of the pandemic. Who do you think would be likely to get targeted and stopped? A frightening order to be taking effect on the 39th anniversary of the formal signing of Canada's constitution. But what's this? Some municipal police forces, including the one where I live in Toronto...are telling the government...we're not going to do that.
Update: Later in the day April 17 2021 the provincial government announced it was rescinding its direction for police to conduct random stops.
