This is Quebec. In Quebec, it is illegal to fail to render aid to someone whose life requires it. Doesn’t that give people an obligation to wear a mask?

Quebec is bipolar with their laws. They have animal protection laws that consider some animals sentient (and not personal property. i.e. "pets") but excludes other sentient animals from the same law (i.e. farmed animals, which are often the most abused)...

I think the human rights person in the video is right that wearing a mask should be protected under human right laws.

I wasn't aware of special rights for pets in Quebec. I'll look into that, it's interesting to me.

Happened a while ago.

"...requires that pets receive care consistent with their biological needs. Farm animals don’t get same protection as pets." 🙄
