Policing and COVID

Can they just write laws on the fly?
i.e. leos extra rights to annoy us.

Well, they can but that doesn't make them legal, or stand up in court.

Heard there was a half dozen OPP on highway 7 in the morning, no one pulled over, and a handful of bikes.

A friend in Gatineau says the police only stop people after the curfew hour, 8:00 PM IIRC. People there are not unlike small towns here, fed up with the suspected spreaders from the city.

Do people from Gatineau drive to Ottawa to work?

That's allowed. Apparently they are trying to presort (commercial gets a fast lane and doesn't need to stop, personal vehicles line up) and then if you have an ontario plate you get waved in, a non-ontario plate gets to chat with an officer about why they are coming in. No travel documents required (they may check license/registration). If you volunteer that you are travelling for fun, you get turned around. No tickets are being issued at this time.
