Trampling Our Charter Rights: Travel Restrictions in B.C.

Trampling Our Charter Rights: Travel Restrictions in B.C.

For the time being, any roadside travel authorities are only spot checking as part of an information campaign. Here is the link to the official narrative.

Our health region is enormous in size. If you are travelling to Vancouver or the island, you might come across the need to provide your ID and give a valid reason for crossing into an other health region. Otherwise, and inconvenience you might encounter is just to make sure everyone knows the rules. Pay attention specifically to valid reasons for travel including work, school, isiting a relative in a senior’s home,or travel through to another province (Alberta). 

Either way, we should be able to freely travel to Kelowna tomorrow for the MEGA rally. I Any spot checks are for “educational purposes only” according to Farnworth, but you might be asked for your ID including your address. Only the driver is to be questioned, if at all, and not any of the passengers.We are not expecting any road block/spot checks at this time.

Attached is a copy of  Farnworth’s travel restriction orders. Section 3 outlines the exemptions. Generaly, travel restrictions are between health districts. Section 2, subsection 2 – specifically exempts travel for entering or leaving the province. Some day soon, we might be on our way to Alberta or just on our way back. Lol

See you tomorrow at the MEGA Rally. Peter Esau will be performing at 11:30, although the latest email may have inadvertenltly missed mentioning that.

Cyberhugs,
