The video features messages in a dozen different languages from Côte-St-Luc business owners, health-care professionals, Mayor Mitchell Brownstein, MP Anthony Housefather, MNA David Birnbaum and other well-known people like councillors Dida Berku and Mike Cohen, retired judge Justice Jerry Zigman and Montreal Gazette columnist Joe Schwarcz.

Quarantine hotels on trial as Federal Court hears constitutional challenge of COVID restrictions

Four separate challenges are being heard together by Paul Crampton, Chief Justice of the Federal Court. At issue is the federal government’s COVID-19 control measures requiring travellers arriving in Canada by air to pre-book at their own expense a three-day non-refundable stay in a government-authorized hotel, and remain in quarantine there until a second COVID test confirms they are not carrying the novel coronavirus. The 14 applicants in four separate challenges argue the mandatory hotel rules violate their rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms because they are law-abiding people who can safely quarantine at home.
