Despite small population, Nova Scotia accounts for high number of coronavirus charges
COVID-19 has found that Nova Scotia is one of three provinces that led the nation in ticketing.“Actually, per capita, you’re ticketing at a higher rate than Ontario. So, it’s actually an enormous level of enforcement for the population and the public health situation that you’re facing,” said Abby Deshman, the Criminal Justice Program director with the Canadian Civil Liberties Association.According to the report, there were 555 COVID-19 related charges in Nova Scotia.
