Canada's human rights watchdog says no Canadian should use what it describes as fake cards claiming to grant medical exemptions from wearing face masks in public.
Anti-lockdown groups that oppose new mandatory mask bylaws have started producing plastic “face mask medical exemption” cards to avoid wearing a mask in closed public spaces.
A spokesperson for the commission told CTVNews.ca that "these cards are fake" and in no way authorized by the organization. "We received a lot of emails requesting us to educate people about the rules and regulations behind these bylaws," Anderson told CTVNews.ca via email. "There are elderly people and others who can't speak English, and are unable to articulate the exemption rule to the staff and security at the front of these stores. That’s why we made the cards."
