How crazy are the COVID restrictions making us? A Quebec woman tried to fix the strict curfew imposed by the province that, unfortunately, the police did not buy.
The unidentified woman was caught walking with her husband around 9pm on Saturday night. She claimed that since she had a leash around her husband’s neck, she was walking with her dog, which is legal during curfew.
New York Post:
According to the rules, people can venture during these hours to walk their dogs if they stay about half a mile from their home.
“One of them had the other on a leash and said he was taking his dog, pointing to his partner, for a walk, as allowed under the exceptions provided for by the Quebec Prime Minister under his curfew law. said police spokeswoman Isabelle Gendron. , according to the Telegraph.
The woman and her 40-year-old husband, who were not named, were fined $ 1,217 for the rape.
Fox News’ Michael Hollan notes, “Apparently, men can be trained to use a toilet and don’t need to walk the same way dogs do.”
Another woman in Quebec jokingly posted a photo of her dog and offered to let people “lend” it for a walk there at night. He was surprised to receive serious and sincere responses to his “offer”.

“People sent me kind of long messages about themselves, saying they’d love to take the dog out,” he said in a phone interview.
Although he found the messages “very sweet,” Skoblinski was quick to clarify that he had been joking.
“Even if we wanted to, it doesn’t make sense. . . . How would they get home after dropping it? “she said.
The issue is well taken. It seems that the woman is one of the few people who thinks straight, as the long winter days become endless winter nights and the impossibility of going anywhere weighs on people.
That’s where a pet comes in. Animal shelters have reported a large increase in people who want to adopt because they work from home and find they have more time to care for an animal.
On Tuesday afternoon at a dog park in Montreal’s Pointe-St-Charles neighborhood, several dog owners said they were relieved because the rules contain an exception for their pets.
Walking your dog at night with anyone nearby is “special,” Simon Vadeboncoeur said, as he watched his dog Norton fight another dog in the snow. “You walk and you don’t see anyone and no sound, it’s very quiet,” he said. But he said he wouldn’t walk more often just to get out after the curfew.
Pavlina Aubin, there with her one-year-old Blaki dog, said she didn’t feel so safe without other people.
The woman fined for wearing her husband with a leash said it would be a “pleasure” to receive the fine and “would not prevent them from breaching the rules in the future and they would see how many tickets they could get”.
This is a way to deal with the crazy restrictions of a pandemic. Embrace madness.
