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.”

“Six other Quebec City bars “known to have been frequented by Kirouac regulars” are now being examined by public health officials...”
Kirouac regulars?
Is that a reference to legendary writer and drunk Jack Kerouac?
Are these regular big-time drunks or do they like to gather in bars and discuss Kerouac’s writings?
Or both?
It was called Dachau.
Can I take a baseball and glove?
President Biden and his veep Harris, if elected, will do this to America in days after their coronations as our new Queen and King of America.
You vill wear your masks 24/7 or go to a retraining center.
Points for a Steve McQueen reference.
I don’t even like baseball.
A Corona facility.
“Kirouac regulars?”
... as opposed to the Kirouac Volunteer Militia?
There was a good Twilight Zone with Oscar Beregi as the commandant of a camp visiting after the war.
He was also good as Kulak in classic Untouchables.
I’m next door in Ontario. Not planning a trip to La Belle Province anytime soon. Granted the way the Frenchies hate les Anglais it would have had to be something extraordinary for me to have.
Watched many over the years.
I can see how something like those camps could happen here.
On my several visits to Quebec I’ve encountered some nice people but have also encountered more than a few rather impolite folks...the hostility usually occurring after I tried to speak English (my school days French now consists of “Je cherche la bibliotec”).
It’s not a biggie but I recall getting the finger from locals while driving along minding my own business. I think they give yanks a pass but my Ontario plates were like a red flag to them.
“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.”
And they emerge with zero symptoms
Idiots
I swear, we are going to look back at 2020 like we do the Salem Witch Trials...
Maybe they just assumed I was Canadian.
Fascism is loose in Canada.
That’s been the case as long as I can remember. Its very deep rooted and goes back centuries to conflicts between England and France but especially the fall of Quebec which they call the conquest. Americans given that they fought England in the revolution get a pass like I said but I also sense the right left conflict has entered the equation somewhat and there is some anti American strain in there too now. Of course like you said many fine individuals are there but that is my general reading of the underlying currents.
Darn right it would. The totalitarians are a lot less willing to kick down a door if they think there’s a good chance of them ending with a few holes in them.
