Thanks for posting Supercub. I watched the Video and thought perhaps it was an anomaly—you know maybe a one time thing from an over excubrient Cop.
I went to the site Fighthefines.com and found it is happening all over Canada. It is Indeed scary.
There is an article about a woman fined for swinging her daughter in a closed playground and another of a man walking his dog in his apartment parking lot.
What really bothers me is the comments published after these incidents were exposed. It seems there are large numbers of people in Canada that are just fine with the loss of civil liberties.
