Commenting on the frequent demonstrations and rallies held in Brampton concerning the plight of farmers in India, Mayor Patrick Brown said the rights of the protesters trump the measures in place to control the spread of the coronavirus.
the legal interpretation is that it is a constitutional charter right the freedom of assembly and the right to protest,” said Brown. “So the police will not lay charges when it comes to these protests because those charges will not stand up in the courts.”
Seems reasonable but these rules are not being fairly applied to the rest of the population. Why are Sikh immigrants allowed to protest a foreign issue when Canadian citizens and business owners who are protesting get arrested and fined?

Nobody should pay any of these Covid fines. The courts are going to throw them out enmass.
I predict plea deals where if you accept to have the fines dismissed you agree to not sue the government for infringing on your rights and freedoms.
That would be unconstitutional in itself.
