A western Quebec politician says she'll stop writing letters for residents and cottagers concerned about police checkpoints now that Quebec has released its plan to end a provincial travel ban. For now, drivers can be fined or forced to turn around if they do not have a valid reason to travel to western Quebec. She also wrote letters for cottagers who live elsewhere and needed to inspect their second homes in the Pontiac. Given that new directive, Toller said Wednesday she would stop writing letters for cottagers, and instead recommend people wait until May 11 to visit their second homes. When asked about Quebec's restrictions lifting, Premier Doug Ford urged Quebec residents not to cross the provincial border during the pandemic.
