Motorists greeted by long lines at Quebec-Ontario border checkpoints


Drivers hoping to cross the Ontario-Quebec border this morning were met with kilometres-long lines in some places as police checkpoints to limit non-essential travel began. Ontario Provincial Police are also stationed at the border in Hawkesbury, Ont., and on larger highways into Ontario, including the 401. Police here tell me everyone passing into Ontario so far works in Ontario and lives in Quebec. Quebec provincial police said they will be doing sporadic stops, namely during curfew hours, but aren't setting up consistent checkpoints. Ontario police will only be allowing people to cross for work, medical care, transporting goods and exercising Indigenous treaty rights.
