Authorities in Quebec City, Canada have announced they will isolate “uncooperative” citizens in a coronavirus facility, the location of which remains a secret.
During a press conference, Dr. Jacques Girard, who heads the Quebec City public health authority, drew attention to a case where patrons at a bar were ordered to wait until their COVID-19 tests came back, but disregarded the command and left the premises before the results came back positive.
This led to them being deemed “uncooperative” and forcibly interned in a quarantine facility.
“[W]e may isolate someone for 14 days,” Girard said during the press conference. “And it is what we did this morning…forced a person to cooperate with the investigation…and police cooperation was exceptional.”
The health official then outlined how the state is also tracking down people for violating their home quarantine and forcibly removing them to the secret facility.
“Because we have had people isolated at home. And then, we saw the person was not at home. So, we went to their home, and then told them, we are isolating you where we want you to be,” said Girard.
“Six other Quebec City bars “known to have been frequented by Kirouac regulars” are now being examined by public health officials,” reports the RAIR Foundation.
“It should be noted that it is not being claimed that anyone is actually sick from the coronavirus. But the state has the power to force a citizen into isolation anyway.”
As we previously highlighted, the government of New Zealand announced similar measures, saying that they will put all new coronavirus infectees and their close family members in “quarantine facilities.”

Heck you can bet if Pres. Harris...I mean temporary Pres. Biden gets elected those rumored FEMA camps might appear and folks that just can’t self-isolate or social distance or just can’t give up their AR-15 will get a one way ticket there.
Take a look at worldmeter at Canada. New daily deaths are basically non-existent. The virus was defeated here months ago but health officials are still running like chickens with their heads cut off.
Free the drunks! ;D
New Zealand, BTW, has been quarantining the sick and the newly arrived on a smaller island all along.
Vote for President Trump, Republican Senate and Republican House candidates, or our country will be like Canada and New Zealand!
My most recent visit to Quebec was over three decades ago, but I remember that a simple “bonjour” or “merci” softened all but the hardest of Francophiles and resulted in doors being held open rather than shut in your face.
Gotta meet people halfway even if you murder their language.
Yes,that’s true.I always try to insert a “merci” when I can.
Pest houses have been around for hundreds of years.
They’re not a bad idea. Isolate the sick. Makes much more sense than locking up the healthy and locking up the healthy with the sick.
That said, this was never about public health.
For example,our Governor in Massachusetts is a RINO who's basically stopped even pretending to be a Republican.He also never misses an opportunity to make his hatred for Trump known.In March he issued a number of directives,as did other Governors.Among them were that gun shops and gun ranges were "non-essential" and,therefore,were to be shut. That order was later overturned by a Federal judge as being a violation of 2nd Amendment rights.
Another order he issued was that ordinary hospitals were to be basically shut down for anything but urgent cases.However,in the same order he specifically stated that Planned Parenthood could stay open.As a result I couldn't see my Cardiologist or Oncologist but some girl could get an abortion.
Although it might not be true up north down here this virus is *all* about 11/3...and has been pretty much from the start.
The good news is it has not been as politicized here. The bad news is there are consequences. There was a story about someone’s son dying of a heart issue because a scan was delayed 3 months ago to give priority to COVID issues. More and more businesses are demanding the use of masks. Including Walmart. People are freaking out themselves and not any less than the government over rising cases, yet deaths are not rising. As I said before more people died in one night in a small town of 30,000 from a bad batch fentanyl (7)than in an entire region of 600,000 people from COVID. (6). In my office people refuse to come in unless we all wear masks. Damn if I am going to wear a mask for 8 hours.
