Passenger Using Cellphone will get you a $1500 Fine in Canada?

Canada-eh(dot)info put out this "article"


The article doesn't go into much detail but it has some obvious glaring errors.  Driving laws are the responsibility of each Province and Territory.  Thus each has it's own fines and demerit points.  So stating that in Canada this would be the fine, just doesn't make sense. 

Canada-eh is also a know purveyor of false and misleading information.  For example, it claimed in April of 2019 of a boil water advisory in Toronto.  There was no such advisory.  This was a totally made up story.

Canada-eh and other similar fake news sites have been traced to be run by people in Kosovo.  They are obviously preying on gullible people to believe these nonsense stories, just so they get hits on their website.

Checking on a few transportation ministries in Canada, I can't find anything that suggests that there would be a fine for a passenger being on a cellphone.
