Quebec couple fined $3,000 for wife walking husband on leash after curfew

CTV Montreal reporter Kelly Greig confirmed with police in Sherbrooke, QC that a married couple each received $1,500 fines after they were caught with the wife walking her husband on a leash (like a dog). Along with essential workers, dog-walkers are one of the very few groups of people who are currently allowed to be out after 8 p.m.
