The restrictions are having no effect because the government lost all credibility that they actually mean anything long before this point. That's probably why they added the whole police power bit - to try to drive home that they really mean it this time. They're like the parent who repeated warns their kid that they'll get in trouble if they continue, but never carries through with the consequences. Nevermind that the restrictions *still* are totally laughable. I can't go backcountry camping on crown land anymore, but it's totally okay for me to be working next to my sick coworker b/c protections they used to have were taken away by this government. Nevermind that this government is turning away federal assistance for political reasons while at the same time asking for assistance from political allies out west. I used to think Ford was mostly benignly incompetent, but my god do I despise him now.
