Ontario bans public gatherings of five people or more

Under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act, anyone seen selling goods at “unconscionable” prices could face anything from a $750 ticket to an individual fine of $100,000.

The Act defines an “unconscionable price” as a price that “grossly exceeds the price at which similar goods are readily available.” Ontario has issued an emergency order under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection act to prohibit organized events and social events of more than five people effective immediately.

Families with 6 or more... time to reveal those 5 favorites. But then Canadians in the states aren’t having it either it seems like

God bless America

Doug Ford's body mass is 6 people What's a guy to do !!

But I have 17 kids

I scared this fool on Facebook selling wipes for $60. Now I checked and he changed the price down to $20. I put his ass on blast!!

What about grocery stores then?

Yes stay at home! But u can not order groceries on line for delivery or pickup. They r booked solid. So milk, juice, bread, eggs have to b picked up every few days. No choice but to go to the store.

Dizzy_Jae !

fordnation are all these “essential” jobs going to receive permanent wage increases to reflect the fact that they are now deemed essential services?

5 ppl how about .. Every manufacturers. Constructions 😅🤣

What about all the people going for a leisurely stroll in Canadian Tire, Home Depot and Walmart everyday, there's at least 50 cars in each lot.

I never thought that Doug would be saying and doing all the right things in this crisis. He makes our PM look lame.

This is good ban for the safety but same time pet also dangerous and till to date no government ever think of this issue.

Is so stupid. Tomorrow will be banned to be with yourself. Kill yourself because you're violating the law. I shop with my mom most of the time and it will he like that meanwhile we live together. What this clown says, go to hell

Perfect!! Finally

I’m on temporary leave from the grocery store , I work at . I was getting slammed .. it was so busy , the stress of serving people, being around a lot of people ,,,, scared me . I was getting horrible panic attacks. Some people won’t listen especially when they are shopping

Thousands gather at Lowe’s paint desks every day. Six ft rules are not heeded. Essential retail staff are financial captives because they can’t get EI. You should do a story on the sad plight of retail employees many over age of 60 who have no option to get out of dodge.

10, 000 dead in Italy as of yesterday.... start taking this seriously. They continued on as if it were okay and now they are begging us to be smarter. staythefuckhome

Use your head people

We're doing this. Spread is slowing down. Lets keep this trend so we can at least try to enjoy our summer

One step closer to full control

Does this mean I can't play 5-on-5 pick-up basketball until this is lifted? Seems pretty excessive!

Need to talk to WalmartCanada no limit to how many people can be in the store. Just tape lines on the floor at the cash registers. Constantly having to walk close to people plus all the employees they have picking orders and restocking. No social distancing at all!

Uthmaan_K u leaving ur house now?

Me trying to think of four friends I don’t have

I would say, how the hell is the law going to know if u have 5 or more people over? But we all know neighbors just love to be rats.

Grocery stores/Walmart have to have more than 5 people or u just end up with ridiculous line ups for hours outside, anyway. No need for that.

Lakeshore today was packed as i drove by there. Literally rows of cars plus people walking in groups and other people walking by so close. People in downtown, barely kweping any distance while waiting for lights to change. No one is gonna listen unless tickets are issued now.

You've lost your mind doug and you will be punished.

TTC is still running so? 5 people allowed in the bus/train/streetcar?

I work in a drug store thats open and so many people coming to hang out with friends and browse the aisles to pass time or entire families shopping together its very frustrating

Soon you won't be able to be with yourself either

how about family with 10 people

I have 7 people in my family?! Does that mean I can get rid of two of them!!!!!!

My work still isn't letting me work from home. It's the bank and a call center. Its essential. But the building only has one entrance to come in and get out. Elevators all shared. 100s of employees showing up everyday because no WFH option🤦🏽‍♀️

Maybe someone should address the fact that places like Costco are still letting in 300-350 people at a time to shop.

Hopefully this will encourage people in apartment buildings to stop congregating in their units and hallways.

We can do even better ON!

Today i went to walmart and nobody was making sure how many people were inside🤷🏽‍♀️

I work at a grocery store and come in contact with like 600 + people a day. WTF is happening

What about workplaces which are open as per your instructions

Can you explain how PUBLIC transit is supposed to work with this restriction. Or will OC_Transpo and JimWatsonOttawa finally do the right thing and shutdown this traveling petri dishes!

Besides work, shouldn't this have already been a thing? Are people still getting together like fucking idiots? I haven't seen my parents or friends in 2 months. At least I'M taking it seriously apparently.

It's about time! But keep in mind he said it doesn't mean 5 friends can hang out. It's mainly for business purposes, a funeral, etc.

Family ?

Dang...... which kid do I leave out!?!? pickthree guessyoureleftout 🤣🤣

Good thing I only have 3 friends

So like work?
