DR. SNITCH: CTV medical ‘expert’ calls cops on neighbours for having a party during lockdown

Belchetz said Saturday he called both 311 and local police, going as far as remaining on hold with the police for an hour before giving up.

"The condo across the street from me in Toronto is having a huge party. At least 40 people indoors," said Belchetz. "I called 311 7 they refused to do anything because I didn't know exact unit number. I called police and gave up after an hour on hold."

"Zero enforcement," he continued, tagging both Toronto Mayor John Tory and Ontario Premier Doug Ford in his tweet.

Many users commented on his post, adding similar experiences with attempting to report parties, with some able to reach officers.

Ontario is currently in the middle of a provincewide stay-at-home order that went into effect on April 8 this year amidst the third wave of the pandemic. It remains in effect until June 2.

Indoor gatherings are limited to only people within that particular household. Outdoor gatherings are limited to five people who are ordered to remain two metres apart from people outside of their household.

Currently, Ontario residents are only allowed to go out for necessities like the grocery store, health care services, outdoor exercise, and work that cannot be done remotely.

Those found in violation of the order can face a minimum fine of $10,000 for organizers and $750 ticked for attendees, with officers given the clearance to break up gatherings and temporarily close premises as needed.
